Eyeball + Scalpel = Cure for Whatever

Found interesting photographs of a guy who went to see John of God, the Brazilian faith healer with magical powers. The particular `surgery' that this guy underwent (before, during and after) was the eyeball-scraping one, although John of God has developed lots of other sensible procedures like shoving forceps up your nose and psychic surgery. I don't know what this guy was trying to get cured of, but from his comments it looks like Eczema.
