A chat with the medical doctor
Juliana Mandato Ferragut

"Collective deaths and their causes". This is the subject of this week's editorial, which reminds us of what the spiritual literature offers regarding the so-called collective deaths and their possible causes.  

Juliana Mandate Ferragut, was born in Sao Paulo and lives in the city of Vinhedo (SP). She is our interviewee.  She was born a Spiritist and attends the Spiritist Center "Centro Espírita Allan Karded" in the city where she lives, and is a medical doctor. Juliana is specialized in infectious diseases, and states that our thoughts and feelings affect for the better or worse the way we react to infectious agents. The interview is one of the highlights of this edition.

Another highlight is the conclusion of the Special: "Grow old and die - A biological and spiritual approach", written by Ricardo de Oliveira Baesso, a physician working in Juiz de Fora (MG) and a member of the Editorial Board of this journal. The first part of the article was published in the last edition.  

On August 23rd and 24th, the Brazilian Spiritist Federation held an important extraordinary meeting of its National Federative Council of which 25 state federative entities took part, as specially reported by Ana Moraes. This is also one of the highlights of this issue.
