Friends, this is very serious business. A young adult male went off his psychotrophic medication for schitzophrenia because he was told by Todd Bentley he was healed, fell into relapse and needed to be hospitalized to get his condition stabalized.
Hopefully, this will put this fraud Todd Bentley out of business.

'Healed'? Double-Check
After the June 22 front-page article on the Florida Outpouring Revival ["Signs and Warnings"], I simply have to speak up. I am a psychotherapist. Several weeks ago, the mother of a young adult patient of mine called for an appointment for her son.
He had been stable for quite some time on his medications for schizophrenia. He had recently decompensated, and was hospitalized in order to stabilize him and restart his medications.
He had attended one of Todd Bentley's gatherings and was told by Mr. Bentley that he was "healed." He stopped his medications, only to relapse into psychosis.
The outcome could have been worse. My client has very risky behaviors when psychotic. He might have died.
Please, if you think you have been "healed" of mental or physical illness, please consult your doctor before stopping medications or treatment. Your life may depend on it.
