The Reese's Book Club podcast on the I Heart Radio App, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Please note that in this episode we'll be talking about sexual abuse
and violence, which could be triggering for some listeners. Please listen at your own discretion. Early on the morning of September 7th, 2006, Anabala set off for the Casa. Like she had done every day for weeks. We heard her story in episode 1. She had been staying in a woman run in near the Casa, so she could go there to help heal her father's cancer. This morning, she sat down
βto meditate in front of her father's photo as usual. I remember wearing a flip-flops and taking theβ
picture of my father attaching it to the back of the chair in front of me. I closed my eyes,
started meditating, took off my flip-flops because I was always barefoot there. The floor,
people said that the energy on the floor was a very good energy and I just kind of went with the floor. People said, "Don't wear underwear because they can cut off energy." So I would wear a skirt down to my feet, I would wear pants, but sometimes many times I wouldn't wear underwear. The official recommendation was not to wear any tight clothing, especially around your waist, which many people interpreted to include underwear. If I walked into a place of worship and heard
this was a requirement, I'd say, "Mmm, no thanks." But we have to take many steps back to understand why it didn't register as weird for the followers at the Casa or for Anabala.
βRemember that at the core of spiritism is the power of your energy. It's your connection to Godβ
and all of your past lives, and it can determine your health and well-being. Think of it as your soul. And through prayer and meditation, you can help clear any bad energy that might be making you sick or even your family sick. So if that was core to your spiritual beliefs, you might do anything you could to make it easier for healers to access your energy, even when they say it helps not to wear underwear. Then maybe you think about what it took to get to this spiritual hospital,
or you're surrounded by kind and reasonable people, just like you, lawyers, doctors, teachers, who all seem to be following these roles without question. So, if everyone around you is going along, why wouldn't you? Anabala was not going to do anything that could put her father's healing
at risk, so she followed most recommendations to the letter. She always wore white to make her
aura lighter and easier to read. She avoided crossing her legs or her arms while she was at the Casa. She didn't wear any metal, like jewelry or a watch, and she held a crystal while she meditated.
I was there barefoot with my feet on the ground, with all that energy, the en...
place, with my eyes closed. And I felt a hand on my shoulder. When I opened my eyes, it was done of God. He signaled for her to go with him, so she stood up and followed him to his
office. I've been to his office several times, never alone. He would even close the door,
but this time, I went along, and as soon as I got in, he not only closed it, but he locked it
βwith the key. At that moment, I felt bad, and he said he was going to do healing work for my father.β
He asked me to turn with my back facing him. I turned around. I closed my eyes, but I wasn't feeling well there. Now, before Annabella said any of this, I told her she would get to decide how much she wanted to say about what happened next. There, you can hear me tell her in Spanish
that we really didn't want her to relive anything she didn't want to. But I also want to provide
a space for you to share whatever you feel comfortable saying. I thought Annabella would take a moment to think it over, but she didn't hesitate immediately. She answered, I say that I was a victim of John of God. I'm not anymore, and that's true. Other victims also say that because we are survivors and we move on, so today I don't have any problem touching on that subject. I know that the more I say, the more I tell, the more I am somehow empowering other victims, not only of John of God,
but of other users. So today I have no problem talking about what happened to me. So this is the story Annabella wants to share with the world, for herself and for others. It's her way of making sure you, whoever's listening, knows this. I'm not in pain anymore. It doesn't hurt anymore. I am much more than the harm he did to me. From exactly right media and on the media, this is too fast, John of God. I'm your host, Martina Castro.
Episode 3, The Treatment
That moment when John of God locked the door to his office, wasn't the first time Annabella got
a weird feeling about him. Months before, a young American man who was assisting her father had asked her. He thought it was a freight of John of God if John of God had ever done something with me
βor tried something with me. I remember him saying that I should promise him that I wouldn't goβ
to John of God's room alone. She thought it was a bit odd that this man insisted so much on this, but she agreed. Anytime she went to John of God's office, she made sure she was a company by someone else. I had no idea what would really happen in there. Until this day in September 2006, when maybe because of the holiday or because she was caught off guard, she does end up in Joao's office alone with him. And when she hears him lock the door, she starts to wonder if this
is what her father's assistant had been talking about. I remember my eyes closed, I felt him running his hands over my shoulder, putting his hands over my head, putting his hands on my ass on my breasts. And when I turned around, his pants were already open. His penis was erect. He has an armchair in his office, so he sat in that armchair and put my hand on his
βpenis and so on. And I remember that at that moment I froze. I just froze. I couldn't react.β
If we can't even do it myself. And I fell to the ground. You know when you lose your strength, I remember that I slipped and he came like an animal on top of me. And then I just couldn't, I couldn't defend myself. I couldn't get rid of him. I'm not going to see him anything real,
I'm not going to see him.
and me washing myself. And I remember that he took me back to the place where my flip flops were
and the photo of my father. And he immediately said the prayer of caritas and began conducting spiritual surgeries. I was there sitting in that chair with his male, with his ejaculation on me. I couldn't concentrate and then I couldn't keep my eyes closed. I just wanted to run away from there.
βAnd his male and me, I remember it's very strong. He uses a specific brand of soap, so it's a strongβ
smell. And to this day I can't use that brand. I feel immediately sick.
That was the first time and about I didn't sit there long. She stood up and ran back to
the end where she was staying. When she found the woman who owned the end, she told her what had happened. I was crying a lot. I was very nervous. I told her what he had done to me and told me to shut up. And Aballa was in shock. This was a woman she trusted. She didn't know what else to do, so she decided to go back to the gasa to see if she could talk to one of the volunteers there.
βThat was crying a lot. Violence here came hugged me, took me to the infirmary and thenβ
another woman, the nurse, I told her what had happened to me and she told me to be quiet because the gringa had said something similar a month before and disappeared. Don't you want your father to be well? Be quiet. Be quiet. Be quiet. I'm Aballa was dumbfounded. She had just been raped by John of God but everyone she went to for help threatened her or told her to forget about it. She tried one more time to report it to someone else at the gasa, someone with more power there.
But again, she was faced with an incredible response. I reported it to the wife
of this influential volunteer who told me that it was part of the spiritual work for him to penetrate me. When Ana Paula realized that no one was on her side, she decided she just had to leave Abadanya. So she went to her father's room and begged him to go with her. He agreed, but first he said he wanted to say goodbye to John of God. She didn't have the heart to tell him what she'll have had just done to her, so she changed out of her white clothes and agreed to take her
father back to the gasa to say goodbye. Once there in her normal street clothes, she got in line with him to see John of God or the medium as she calls him. He even before my turn, the medium had an eye on me. When I arrived, he asked why I was dressed like that. He told me to go talk to him in his office. He told her to return to the very place where he had just raped
βher. She thought twice about it. And then she went, because what else could happen to me?β
Nothing. All had happened already. So I went. I went to his office. Question, I confronted him in a way. I told John of God that he couldn't do that to me. I told him, I'm here for my father. You can't do that to me. I remember I sat on the couch and crossed my legs because he gave the order not to cross her legs at the college in the issue. So I made it very clear that I wasn't there in the vibe of the house, right? And then I remember
he started saying, "No, it's because you represent your father. It's all done on you. Your father's streetman uses your energy because you have a lot of energy." And then John of God said something. That cut straight through all of her anger, all of her indignation, and all of her pain. I was the reason for that cancer. What caused my father's illness, the reason my father was there,
Dying.
dying. Joao went on to tell her that in their past lives Anabala and her father had been in a
βdispute that had to do with Anabala. So her father's illness was a punishment in this life forβ
this previous experience. However painful it was to hear this, it made sense to Anabala, according to her beliefs. He said he was going to cure my father. Nobody told me they were going to cure my father.
No doctor, neurologist, never surgeon, no one say they could cure him.
But he said, "I'm going to cure your father. You don't understand. This is a healing treatment and your energy. You represent your father and I believed it. I wanted to believe it because I didn't want to lose my father. So I believed it. He said that I had to go to his office to do this treatment. And I went, I was already 22 years old then, to them 42. Right at this moment in the interview, the studio engineer in Brazil interrupts us to say that the computer
all of a sudden shut down. The recording of the entire interview up to that point, including Anabala's
description of Joao's abuse, was erased. It's funny that something like this always happens when
it's enough God or a light is missing or something burns or the audio stops. You get used to it
βbecause it's always like this. The computer's failed, it's incredible, incredible, incredible isn't it?β
Thankfully, we always have a backup recording running, just in case. So we laugh it off. To be fair, power outages are common where the studio is located, so it's not exactly surprising that this happened. But to hear how quickly Anabala blamed it on John of God, shows how much she still believes in his power to do something like that, even so many years later. Anabala isn't deterred though. She looks a little rattled but continues her story, and tells me about
the months she spent undergoing this treatment. She says she came to see it as the sacrifice required of her in order for her father to have a chance at recovery until it became very clear that it was all alive. In 2023, a story gripped with the UK, evoking horror and disbelief. Anabala, who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies, is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict, a villain,

This is DJ Heaster Prince music is therapy, a new podcast for me, a DJ and licensed therapist

Music changes what you feel, and what you feel changes what you do, right? That moment where a song shifts something inside you, that's where transformation starts. This year, I'm talking to experts across every area of life, like personal finance icon Jean Chatsy, New York Times journalist David Gellis, relationship legend Dan Savage, human connection teacher Mark Groves, and the man who shaped my ear more than anyone, Questlove. They'll bring
this strategies, I'll pair them with the right records, and we'll teach you how to use the music
to make a change stick. This isn't just a podcast. It's unconventional therapy for your entire ear. Listen to DJ Heaster Prince music is therapy, on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. For months in late 2006 and early 2007, Anapala lived in Abadhania and was subjected to regular sexual abuse by John of God. And the whole time it was the healing energy. He kept saying
that I had a lot of healing energy, not just to cure my father. He implied that he even used my energy to cure other people as well. And I believed it because I didn't want to lose my father. Anapala's faith, once she held her whole life, was a faith in the power of spirits and of prayer to make the seemingly impossible possible. But now the moment came when her faith couldn't hold on any longer.
A week before my father passed away, John of God told me and my sister that he would start my father's cure. Until the last moment, I believed that when a man picked up my father in Anapala's
βto take into account, and then two, three days later on a Sunday, 10 p.m., 8 p.m., my father dies. I think it was 10 p.m.β
I passed away. That's the time it actually ended, because right up to the last second.
That's when the story John of God had been telling her, about her energy, his power, his confidence that he would cure her father all of it when up in smoke. That's when I began to become aware that those spiritual treatments were actually abuse. And then I had to deal with the death of my father. I also had to deal with the pain of telling my husband that I had been raped several times. And it was really painful.
It was really painful. Everything I went through afterwards was really, really painful. Anapala spent the next decade in mourning and recovery. She went to therapy and slowly tried to find answers to very difficult questions that kept coming up for her. How could she have let this man abuse her so many times? How could she have let her belief in him make her so blind to what he was doing?
βSay, oh, see how many? I don't know. Or was it fanaticism, idolatry?β
I don't know. One thing I do know, he's willing to deal with. No, I had to deal with. That John of God is not of God. No, I have to deal with. He's not of God. He's not of God. God wasn't there anymore. Anapala had to reconstruct so much in the years following her father's death. The sexual abuse nearly ended her marriage, and she had to move to another city
for fear that John of God would find her. She's also still working on rebuilding her relationship with her faith. I got to the point of being kind of mad at God, you know? Today I have no religion. Today, I do follow some things that I believe, because I believe in her nation. It's so natural to me that I can't think of it in any other way. So this isn't something they put in my head. It's just like, like, there's no other way
to understand, but I don't have any religion. However, much Anapala needed to focus on herself. She didn't lose sight of the injustice of what had happened to her. For years, she did her best to denounce Chihuahua.
Nobody wanted to take my case forward.
nobody wanted to face John of God. Even though everyone said no,
βI didn't give up. What did I do? I went to my gynecologists. I reported what had happened.β
I have my medical record. I even have tests, including to find out if I had caught a sexually transmitted disease. There's my entire medical record reporting everything I had been through. Anapala says, the lack of support did not deter her. My strength only increased, that force was there inside me.
My father, he was a public defender. Then he was a prosecutor. He became a judge.
So there were several people that he helped. And every day, even at the end of his life, my father would wake up and take his bath listening to songs. Lots of happy songs and doing good and staying firm. If he had the end of his life, he acted like that, helping
βpeople. Can you imagine if I'm not going to act the same way?β
Anapala talks about helping people because denouncing Chihuahua wasn't just about letting the
world know what he had done to her. She knew there were others. I knew it wasn't the only one.
When Wednesday arrived, sometimes he harassed me, abused me early Wednesday and then the care of ends and buses would arrive. And he would forget about me. That's because the cost was open to visitors Wednesday through Friday, every week, and I thank God. I know I'm going to say horrible because new women showed up and he would leave me a bit alone. He, he, I don't know exactly what he did with other women. But I could notice some things. I was starting to notice
that some women there, they cried with pain in their voice like I cried. And then there was this woman. One appola often saw at the casa when she would stop by to see John of God. Every time this woman saw her, she would wrap a sheet around an appola, almost as if to try and protect her from Chihuahua. When she wrapped me in that sheet, it was a bee, it tells a bee. I knew she knew. But people knew long before this. Before Anapala ever said foot

Back in 2001, six years before Anapawla visited the castle for the first time. Michael Baylot, the tour guide we met in episode one, remembers noticing something was off about chill out. Everybody wanted to be close to him, but you couldn't be close to this guy.
He was totally aloof, and he wasn't a friendly kind of person that people didn't make friends which want. They worked there, that was it. The castle had been an operation for over two decades, and Michael had been living in Abadiana on an off for about a year. He remembers observing Joel while he was treating visitors in line. If you weren't allowed to open your eyes to see what was happening, and it was monitored, and if you opened your eyes, you'd be thrown out of there.
But while you're in the line, you'd add your eyes open because you had a walk, and I would open my eyes a lot when I was in there. I, you know, I'd just take a little peek. And he often saw Joel sitting there in his throne like chair, looking rather bored.
And he was always yawning and fidgeting. He wasn't in a trance. He wasn't in an altered state.
He was just some guy in a chair playing God. But when a pretty young woman, particularly teenage women, we're in the line, he'd perk up, and his eyes would be glued on that person, even though there were 20 people in front of her. And once you get there, that person, he'd want to hold her hand, he'd pull her close to him, and he'd say, "You are a medium.
βYou need to be trained to be a medium." And I'm going to have a private meeting with you to teachβ
you how to be a medium. I began to get suspicious, you know, "Who is this guy, really?" Then Michael heard about a specific incident, from one of the visitors who came to him for help. At this point, I'm one of the staff. And so there was an older man, middle-aged guy, and he was there with his 22-year-old niece. And the niece had a problem with heroin addiction. The man goes on to tell Michael what happened to his niece. When this young lady came up to his
wine, he took her hand and he had a towel in his lap, and he put her hand under the towel, and slipped it into his unzipped trousers. And he had a full erection, and when she touched, she didn't know what, she just grabbed her and pulled it in there, he had evacuated on her hand. This was with hundreds of people all around sitting there and people in the line. So afterwards, the two of them wanted to know, "Well, what happened?" So Michael starts asking around. "I asked the translators,
he said, "No, no, nothing like that ever happened," says, "I never heard of such a thing."
βMichael then decides to confront Joao. Maybe there was some misunderstanding. Could this possibly be true?β
So he stands in line to talk with him. Once Michael is face-to-face with Joao, or the medium, as he also calls him, Michael tells him what he heard. Joao fervently denies it. But, everybody I asked, including medium, we're saying, but if something like that did happen, that was the cure for the person. The person needed that to happen to get cured.
These kinds of responses made Michael think there was something strange, even...
And a lot of people were in on it.
βMarcelo Stoduta, one of the mediums who worked with Joao, confirmed during our interviewβ
that people at the Kasa largely knew this was happening. They knew it, but for all purposes, either rumor or it's gossip or it's a distortion of someone who wants to take advantage and take money from Joao. So you had these people, some of them had coordinating positions in the house and these people helped reinforce the blinds. But Marcelo says, "Then there were people outside of the Kasa, who must have known."
And corrupt or corruptable enough to help support this process, and if there is any type of information,
complaint, et cetera, if you try to go a little further, they're able to use legal means to
βplaykate and somehow erase these records. Or archive them as we like to say the records.β
And of course, there were also people who feel they were healed at the Kasa, who fervently believed in the power and sacredness of what was happening there. How could someone who had healed them and so many others do something this horrible? It just didn't make sense. So they went to great lengths to defend Joao and his healing abilities. "Muito a gente showroe y rezo, we cried and prayed for an awakening, for an understanding,
for a rethink of his heritage." Of course, when we cried and prayed, we didn't know half of everything that was happening. Of all the criminal implications that occurred to all those involvement, criminalizes Kyo Koheron. The way he characterizes himself today, Marcelo seems to not have been in the group of people who were blind to what was happening. Nor in the group fervently defending Joao.
He's somewhere in between. On the one hand, Marcelo now says he knew something was off. He saw Joao have dramatic shifts in his mood, and he didn't like that Joao would pursue attention from celebrities and politicians. But Marcelo also claims he had transcendental experiences at the Kasa, as did many others, and he convinced himself that a "profane act" did not undo the holy work of the sacred acts that were also happening there.
βBut why did you keep working? No in about the rest of it, right?β
For a myriad of reasons, because harassment is not the entire work of the Kaza of the door nest. These are some people chosen by him in the middle of this work to satisfy his imbalances from the physiological point of view, but they didn't hinder all the work that we did there, which had a magnitude, a very intense cold. Maybe this line of thinking is why so many people stayed silent about what they saw going on at the Kasa. And maybe it's exactly because there
was something bigger that that part could remain hidden for so long, right? Because it becomes a mixture between the sacred and the perfume. And you no longer know when the sacred is prevailing, or when the perfume is behind the scenes being enabled by the sacred, that fuzzy line between the profane and the sacred was about to get a lot fuzzier. In 2012, the same year, Oprah visits the Kasa. A series of events starts to take place, that makes it harder to hide the dark side of our
renowned healer. First, it comes to light that Joao was being investigated for manslaughter,
in a death that took place at the Kasa back in 2003. Deaths weren't uncommon at the Kasa.
People were in many cases seeking spiritual healing as a last resort to pure ...
But in the case of Javier Vija Real Bustus, who was from the US, one of his sisters told
βTV global that his death could have been avoided. He was suffering from AIDS when he sawβ
out John of God. According to letters he wrote to his family, Joao told him to stop taking his medications and soon after Javier died. Later in 2012, Joao was accused of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old young woman in the small town where he had established a second spiritual hospital. The young woman's father was an influential man in the town, and he's rumored to have told
Joao to leave and never come back, or he would have him killed. So Joao shuts down the
Kasa there and never returns. But somehow none of these events seem to deter Joao's community or movement from growing. He continues running the Kasa's usual, and to expand his reach via international events. In 2014, he returns to the Omega Institute in Upstate, New York, where he had held events on an office in 2007. That time, he ascended 9,000 people over the course of three days. If anything slows him down, it's when he gets sick in 2015.
He discovers he has stomach cancer. In an interview with a Brazilian website called Vasia, Joao says doctors gave him 5-15 days to live. The reporter asks him if he's able to channel spirits to heal himself, and Joao gives us surprising response. "But you don't have
response. You say, "Oh, Barbara, you're quite a child." There, you hear him say, "Does a barber cut his own hair? I think everyone should go see a doctor first
βbefore coming to Abadiania." And that's what he did. Joao saw traditional Western medical doctorsβ
and one of the most exclusive hospitals in Sao Paulo. In 2016, Joao was declared cured, and he returns to the Casa in Abadiania. Two years later, in May of 2018, the Me2 movement is in full swing in the U.S., and a woman in Holland decides to share her Me2 moment in a Facebook post. In it, she says she was raped by John of God. Maybe it's the graphic and detailed way she describes what happened to her, or perhaps it's that it comes from a woman who isn't
Brazilian and lives a notion away. Whatever the reason, this Facebook post slowly goes viral,
and it comes to the attention of two journalists in Brazil who worked completely separately.
βJournalists who were inspired to investigate it. "It was very, very shocking," he said. "Whoa, this isβ
someone completely different from the person we know. This is a monster." There were comments like, "See what I told you," and it was like, "Whoa, maybe it wasn't only her." And I told the host of the show I was working for, "Look, this is what I found," and then he said, "Go for it." Keep digging. Let's look into this. And in like 48 hours of doing that, she had six women. That's next time, on two-faced, John of God.
