A few comments and pictures during a personal in 2006:

As I do every year, I visited Juan again in 2006. In fact I and a companion went to him 3 times in early 2006; once for back problems, once for leg pain (my companion had pain in her wrist), and again on day prior to Easter to view the Black Saturday activities. The pictures below were taken during a visit when I was suffering from severe leg pain. After massaging my leg with a special concoction, he gave me herbs to apply to my leg for the next two days. I must admit that the pain did return, but not until approximately 48 hours later. In the case of my companion, she experienced similar but longer-lasting results.
