The physician Ricardo de Souza Cavalcante tells us about the spiritual sickness origin


“Soul education: this is the secret of healing diseases” is the title and also the theme of our editorial, which brings considerations about the published interview on this number, one of the spots of the current edition.

Our interviewee of the day is the physician Ricardo de Souza Cavalcante, settled in Botucatu (SP). Physician specialized in infectology of the Clinics Hospital of the Medical School of Botucatu – UNESP, is the current president in Spirit-Physician Association of Botucatu, working regularly in the Spirit Center Path of Light in the same city. One of the interview themes is the spiritual origin of ills.

“It is necessary to talk about suicide” is the title of the Especial published on this edition, authored by our collaborator Marcos Paulo de Oliveira Santo, from Taguatinga Norte (DF). It reminds us that suicide is a severe public health issue he proposes in his article we lead our efforts to constrain this behavior that brings so much unhappiness to our orb.

Last August 12th the headquarters of Brazilian Spirit Federation (FEB), in Rio de Janeiro, held the closing of seasons lectures of Divaldo Franco in 2017 in Rio State, how it is told us in an especial report by our collaborator Luismar Ornelas de Lima.
