Doan Van Duoc (better known as Ut
Duoc), 50, started his treatment for a breast cancer patient by sitting behind
her, grabbing a piece of her back skin and cutting it with a razor.

Then he took out a stick covered with alcohol-soaked
cotton, lighted it and put it inside a small glass jar, which was then placed on
the cutting spot. After a while, blood started to bleed into the jar.

Diem, 37, the breast cancer patient from Cu Chi said, “I
heard that Dr. Duoc could cure any disease so I came. I feel much better now”.

Others agreed. “Some people spent hundreds of millions dong
at hospitals without getting any result, but after they came here to see him,
their illnesses were all gone.”

To another patient, Ut Duoc pressed his left hand on his
abdomen, chest, and then forehead, while holding his right hand around the back
of the patient’s head. Meanwhile, he kept whistling.

He even treated two patients at the same time– one hand
pressed on a female patient’s abdomen and the other on a male’s. Slowly, he
moved his hands up to their chests, foreheads and continued his whistles.

When he was circling his hands over one patient’s stomach
and another’s forehead, one patient familiar with his method explained to us,
“That’s to suck the toxics out of their bodies’”.

Ut Duoc’s wife also helped to treat the patients. Sitting
face-to-face with a patient and mumbling a string of strange-sounding words, she
started moving her hands in the air around the crying woman. Then she began to
massage and press her hands on the patient’s shoulder while soothing her and
whistling like her husband.

After a while, the woman was asked, “Are you feeling well
now?”, to which she replied, “I am all cured”.

Formerly a celebrated farmer known for his high
agricultural productivity in the district, Ut Duoc has never received any
medical training or education, nor been licensed for medical examination and
treatment.

Reported by local residents for illegal medical activities,
Duoc was warned not to repeat what he had been doing by the local police
department.

However, people keep coming to see him every day. Through
words of mouth, patients suffering various illnesses, from minor to serious
ones, such as cancer, goiter, hepatitis, and fibroma, flock to receive his
treatment.

Without fixing the treatment fees, Ut Duoc leaves it to his
patients to decide how much to pay. A goiter patient who had seen him for
several weeks said she paid him VND20,000-50,000 each time she came.

After Tuoi Tre reported to the local authority about Ut
Duoc’s repeated illegal medical activities, head of the police department said
he would soon inspect the case and take further action.
