I despise how they called him a "witch doctor".He was a traditional healer.
A witch doctor doesn't use any proven/useful medical procedures.They just chant a spell and use useless things like a necklace with chicken feet.
I read in more detail about how these men performed neurosurgery.They knew to avoid major arteries.
X-rays of over a dozen of the patients showed results similar to modern hospitals.


Here's one source:

Weekly World News





Of course in the world of antibiotics and modern medicine this isn't comparable.Still,it's an old form of structured medicine.There was a time when this was considered an advanced medical procedure.

They found a tool in Africa used 2000 years ago to operate on the eye to remove cataracts.:krs: Its identical to the tools used today on the eye. We are so far behind medically and scientifically because of politics and religion getting in the way of progress. Things like stem cell research are so important to extending our lives and quality of life there should be no logical resistance but of course there is.
I agree with everyone else in these comments be careful watching videos like this with the sound up unless you want to be influenced into a certain narrative. He clearly has an agenda.
