Michael Bailot is a long-time meditator, medium, energy healer, and accomplished musician and composer. His deep spiritual journey has led him to explore various modalities of healing and consciousness work. For years, he served as both a tour guide and medium at the Casa de Dom Inácio, the internationally known healing center in Abadiânia, Brazil, founded by João Teixeira de Faria, also known as “John of God.” He has also written a groundbreaking book, Cult of God: The Secret Life of João de Deus, Spiritual Healer and Serial Rapist, offering a staggering, detailed account of the history and events that led to João’s downfall.

In a compelling and deeply unsettling conversation, Debra Lynne Katz, PhD, interviewed author Michael Bailot about his explosive book, Cult of John: The Secret Life of João de Deus. The discussion exposed the shocking double life of João de Deus, once revered as a miraculous healer but ultimately revealed to be a serial rapist, fraudster, and practitioner of black magic.
