Question by Lord Zane Vorhis: How did Rasputin “heal” the queens son?
Lets go off the silly assumption that he did heal him, what did he do when he would do the healing sessions?
Did he just show up and pray?

Answer by SCORPIO
Rasputin was a con-man who had the tsar’s wife believing he was
a monk with healing powers. For this, he received special favors
and privileges from the tsarina. He didn’t cure anybody of anything.

My 15 years of research on the subject show he had a reputation as a healer, as well as extensive knowledge of Siberian, Tibetan and Chinese herbs. And he always prayed. The tzarevitch, Alexei, was never healed, but Rasputin could allay his symptoms and pain, much to the amazement of court doctors, according to their own reluctant testimony. Many others witnessed or experienced his healing abilities and wrote about it in their memoirs.
My great great uncle was Rasputin’s secretary. His memoirs tell how Rasputin was a religious man who never harmed a soul, but was the victim of the aristocracy’s gossip campaign. Apparently, Rasputin did quite a bit to help the oppressed Russian Jews who were deprived of all civil rights. The aristocracy, who were notorious Jew-haters, were disgusted by this and spread rumors about him seducing women and being a drunkard. Funny thing is, the Russian nobility consumed French champagne and vodka by the case, as well as being promiscuous enough that venereal disease was rampant among them. The newspapers were filled with ads for cures for STD’s.
Rasputin never harmed nor killed a soul in his life, but the Tsar sanctioned the ‘pogroms’, or regular raids of Jewish villages, where entire families were tortured and murdered for no reason other than being Jewish. Nicholas II was responsible for the deaths of many innocent people. Rasputin didn’t hurt anyone. He was a healer.
