Faith healer not guilty in actress deathFriday 12 June 2009 Faith healer Jomanda has been found not guilty of involvement in the death of actress Sylvia Millecam from breast cancer in 2001. Judges in Amsterdam said that while Jomanda had supported Millecam's belief that she did not have cancer, the faith healer did not cause her to have that belief. In addition, the judges said, Millecam was under doctors' supervision for the entire time she was ill. Two alternative doctors Jos K and RenĂ© B were found guilty of 'injuring [her] health, resulting in severe physical damage', the Volkskrant quoted the judges as saying. The doctors will not face any punishment because of the length of time the case took to come to court and all the media attention, the judges said. Hospital treatment The prosecution service originally decided against a trial because Millecam had turned her back on the mainstream health profession. In total she consulted 28 therapists. But the opponents of alternative therapies, including the association against quack medicine, went to court themselves to force through legal action. A spokesman for the association said they were pleased with the ruling. 'This was not about a witch hunt but about establishing clear jurisprudence for the future,' he told Nos tv. © DutchNews.nl Get the DutchNews.nl newsletter in your mailbox: Click here to subscribe
well clearly the presidence has been set, practice qauck medicine without fear, WHY, they played a part in her death so should be punished accordingly By adhd | June 12, 2009 4:57 PM I had two aunts who died of breast cancer and leukemia respectively so I know that when faced with certain death, some people will go to great lengths to find a cure. Healers can provide hope, optimism and companionship in a time of utter misery and loneliness but they ought to have the common humane decency to at least inform the ill people of the difference between physical and mental, spiritual and emotional healing.

I can't understand its the individuals who at their own free wish and will have been visiting Faith Healer Jomanda in a hope that she might be able to help them.
She is a human being not A God, so if she can't help or her advise doesn't get a positive result then One shouldn't argue or even start a case!
Of course I do have sympathy with all those whose loved ones couldn't survive due to their incurable illness.
As for as know lady Jomanda she has been trying her best to help the people.
