To Whom It May Concern
In the hope that other doctors may be interested, I would like to record my experience of referring patients to a healer, David Cunningham, for treatment of various health problems
My first referral was actually my own daughter, who on her return from a skiing holiday, was crippled by an acute exacerbation of chondromalacia, which was not helped by intensive physiotherapy and orthopaedic consultations. Two healing sessions completely relieved her pain; as a sceptic beforehand, she was particularly impressed by the tremendous feeling of heat radiating from the hands of the healer.
Even more dramatic was the experience of a trainee doctor in our practice who was losing three days per week from work because of severe chronic iritis, was not responding to treatment at Moorfields, but was completely relieved by two sessions of healing and has remained in remission since.
Other patients treated include a man of 22 with chronic severe eczema, who had complete relief, as did his mother with recurrent asthma. A man of 70, who was house bound with a stroke recovered enough power in his affected arm and leg to allow him to do his own shopping. Another patient who had been unable to work for a year with severe lumbar disc problems was able to return to work after two sessions.
Results like these are difficult to credit, but observing the healer at work one is aware that something very meaningful is happening to the patient and that a powerful source of energy is being channelled through the healer's hands.
It is well worthwhile to refer any patient for healing, particularly if they are not responding to normal treatment. It was made easier for me to make the first referral because of what I still think of [as] a minor miracle, which happened to a friend and patient of mine three years ago.
I had tried every treatment I knew [of] for her severe post-herpetic pain of two years standing, including acupuncture, local steroid injections and deep hypnosis without effect. She referred herself to a healer who produced a permanent cure in one half-hour session. Of all these patients, the most abiding memory is of my trainee lady doctor crying with the pain of her iritis, despite heavy doses of steroids, and the next working day happily smiling in her morning surgery.

To Whom It May Concern
David Cunningham is a man who is indescribable. Seeing him is believing. He has an angelic face that oozes with an unique energy that is very rare and beautifully powerful
That very energy emanation is the nature of his being. In his presence, you immediately feel different about yourself, your attitude; the stress begins to lessen. David Cunningham is a healer who is truly a messenger of God. The energy of God's love moves through his fingertips. This is not about religion, but a much higher order called 'Faith.' In order to change the consciousness of individuals, society, and culture at large, people, the media, and word of mouth are required to create a new wave of being.
There are many charlatans in this universe that espouse bunk and junk. These people prey on those in need, as vipers, utilizing their misery and pain for profit at any cost to the individual. David Cunninghham is the real issue in mind, body, attitude, spirit, and soul. I ask of you to reach out to David Cunningham and make contact, for your life will change upon his gaze and touch. There are numerous, amazing case histories to cull from to fully understand his unique ability.
As a doctor myself, speaking about David Cunningham, I must unequivocally say there is a devine intervention within this man; and I hope and pray, with all my heart, that others have the opportunity to be touched and enriched by a man who truly knows the meaning of heart and caring. His life history is a fascinating mosaic of his evolution as a healer. I would not write this without benefit of a profound personal experience with Mr. Cunningham. As the song states, 'What the World Needs Now is Love, Sweet Love.' This is the message that breathes through David Cunningham and is injected into your mind, your body, your heart, and your soul.
When an individual is a part of a dominant minority and has wisdom and knowledge to share that can become a treasure and enrich our lives, I will reach out to those who can open the doorway to help others in a most significant manner. For individuals to be able to recapture the pulse of life, to be able to no longer wear the past tense in the present emotionally, is truly the liberation of individuality.
Each of us has our own unique road map of life, with multiple detours for reasons unknown. To recharge that map in its natural energy is our ultimate desire. David Cunningham can bring that natural rhythm back in your life by re-energizing your mind, heart, body, and soul. "Renew the spirit," as David would say. Allow God's energy to flow through you. And live life in love, with love. The quest for Shangri-la truly exists.
Once again, I hope and pray that you all allow yourselves and those you know to experience the road to Shangri-la and open your heart and mind to David Cunningham, the healer with the heart and the magic to make the difference in your life.

On the 17th September 2007 I was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour that was growing by the hypothalamus and given 3 to 6 months to live. By December I was in a very bad way both physically and mentally. In January 2008 my partner Derek took me to see David for my first treatment. We had been looking for a healer foe the last couple of months and had finally found him on our doorstep, via the internet after looking at people from all around the globe.
During my first treatment David asked me a lot of deep questions about my past and health up until that point. David made no promises but said he would do all he could. After my first treatment I started to notice that I didn’t feel cold and all the time and my mind was a lot clearer. That night David rang my friend and said he believed it was vital that I receive the healing as often as possible, around two treatments a week, but it was obvious that we couldn’t afford that, so he offered a special deal where he dropped the price.
As time passed the people around me started to notice some changes in me, for one I started to be more talkative and outgoing. I also looked brighter, was more animated and the look of sadness that I always had started to go away. You see I had endured emotional, physical and sexual abuse as a child every day for over four years, which was still having a major affect on my life.
I had suffered terrible nightmares every single night for over twenty years because of the abuse. As the treatment progressed the nightmares started to change, At first they began to reduce in number and after some time the following dream happened. It started as the nightmares always did, with me being chased by my abuser through a wood. For the first time in any of these dreams I came into the clearing and standing there was my mother. She has dies 15 years ago. She told me to stop running and handed me a sword, at which point my abuser entered the clearing shouting that I had lead him to her. And as he advanced my mother my mother came up behind me and said ‘you know what you have to do’. A wave of anger came over me and I charged. After fighting with him for some time, I killed him and my mother came up to me, hugged me, saying ‘now you never need fear him again’. That is the last time I have dreamt of him. From this point on the treatment seemed to accelerate, with my health getting better faster and faster, with a marked reduction in the symptoms of the cancer.
Now after 28 treatments and 6 months I am at a point where I think that I have come to the end of my treatment. Why you may ask? Well simply that I am now fitter and healthier in mind, body and soul then I has ever been. Sitting typing this in late June feels a bit strange because if it hadn’t been for David I would have been dead months ago. Now I feel I can look forward to the rest of my life, even plan my 27th birthday!
No words can express my gratitude to David. The God he serves has truly blessed him.

Over a period of at least 14 years I have suffered from severe joint and muscular pain and stiffness. The condition isn't life threatening but is debilitating.
I have seen many specialists over that time, who between them, have given me a different diagnosis on each occasion. The bottom line was in my case the condition wasn't curable, The only option available to me was to try to dull the pain was painkillers. Over the years I have tried many different drugs prescribed to me by my own G.P. Eventually I decided along with my G.P.'s agreement I wouldn't take any more of them because they weren't working, I was harming other organs in my body without any benefit of pain relief. The long term prognosis was ill health for the rest of my life. I read an interesting article in the local paper about a man who had the power to help people to overcome their health problems, My wife also read the same article and the next thing I knew an appointment had been made for me to meet David L Cunningham.
I was very sceptical but also extremely curious as I travelled to that first appointment. On meeting David my mind was put at rest, I really don't know what I expected but who I met was a person who was able to put me at ease immediately. I was happy for him to try to help me and after the first session I noticed an improvement in my condition. In total I had 7 sessions with David and now feel my health has improved beyond my greatest expectations, I now know I needn't spend the rest of my life in pain.
Taking the first step to make that appointment has literally changed my life and outlook for ever.

"I met David for the first time in 1993. Shortly afterwards, I put my back out for the third time in as many months and decided to risk a healing session. David began by clearing my Chakhras and then worked around the area of my injury."
When he had finished with my back, he asked if I had any other problems and I explained that my left knee had been giving me some grief, particularly when climbing stairs. As I lay there on my back, David's hand hovered a few inches above my knee and I felt the inside of my knee moving around as if something was beneath the flesh. It was very surreal and very memorable. Suffice to say, in the years since my back has been much stronger and I have never had another problem with my knee !
When we met, I had a three year old son, (Stuart - forgive me, name changed) who has Down's syndrome. He had a congenital heart defect at birth which had required surgery and in those early years was very prone to chest infections and congestion. Soon after my first healing session with David I took Stuart along. Because of the congestion, Stuart was very unsettled and David was finding it difficult to work. David turned to me and told me that he was going to ask Spirit to make Stuart sleep so that he could work. Within thirty seconds, Stuart fell asleep in my arms - once again I was amazed. I have no doubt that the healing session that followed help Stuart to build up his strength and fight off the constant chest infections.
David moved away ftom the area where I live and while we exchanged Christmas cards, we only met a couple of times over the intervening years and spoke on the telephone once in a blue moon. Then last year, 2005, Stuart had to go into Hospital for heart surgery to repair a complication which had arisen as a result of the surgery when he was a baby. The surgery went well but there was great difficulty in weening him off the ventilator and after the second unsuccessful attempt, he nearly died. Within twenty four hours of that event, I received a phone call from David. I don't know why he called at that particular time, while Stuart was still fighting for life, but I believe God sent a message. David told me that my wife Jenny and I should sit with a hand over Stuart's heart, think of David and pray. This would enable him to channel the healing power which came from God through us to Stuart. I'm not sure what the ITU Nurses thought of this but Stuart grew stronger and stronger and a week later was strong enough for further surgery where a tracheostomy was fitted. This enabled them to get him off the ventilator and a few weeks later he was able to leave the hospital. On the day he was discharged, I took him to say goodbye to the ITU staff. The Sister who had been on duty when Stuart had nearly died told me that they hadn't expected him to survive. I believe that David's call was fate and Stuart's recovery was not only down to the skill and care of the Doctors and Nurses but also down to a little divine intervention via David Cunningham.

I have been suffering from migraines ever since my mid-forties - about 9 years ago. At first I would get about one or two a month, but over the years the frequency and severity gradually increased. By last year, I could often find myself having 2 or 3 a week, and it had got to the point where I was having to take more and more time off work. It was very difficult to try and find a pattern or cause, and eventually I gave up trying to find one.

" I have suffered from asthma since I was 18 months old, I am now 33, and I have been on numerous inhalers and nebulisers over the year, and I was on 2 inhalers twice a day. "
My dad discovered he had lung cancer just before Christmas 2003 and that my mum decided to seek out for alternative medicines and found David through the internet, my dad started his treatment in the January and is still going to this very day. He said it was the best thing he could have ever done and feeling the effects pretty much straight after his 15t treatment, so I decided to give it a go, and booked 2 sessions, one in the afternoon and the second the day later in the morning.
My first visit was very strange and very enlightening at the same time, it felt very much like a very big jig-saw puzzle and I had all the pieces but not in the correct order, and after speaking to David for about 25 minutes gradually everything seemed to fall in to place, to which point my mind was racing with all kinds of thoughts, such as the soul is very much like a video cassette and that it is constantly on record and as you die the soul continues to record continuing into the next body, it was all fascinating stuff.
David then started to do some "hands on" to which my whole body seemed to go from a state of anticipation to a state of complete relaxation in a matter of minutes. After what seemed like a good couple of hours (it was about 45 - 55 minutes) there seemed like a great burden had been lifted from my chest and to say I could breathe slightly better was the biggest understatement.
My second visit, the day after, was to be the biggest surprise ever! I still had my conversation with David before moving for the "hands on" and had explained that I had not even used my inhalers since seeing him and that the night had passed of restlessness, I was slightly confused by this but he had said that the treatment works in either two ways, it will either make you very relaxed or very restless. Anyway after completing the second "hands on" I sat up and David asked me how I felt and to my astonishment my lungs felt even more full of air then when I went in, in fact I said that it had felt like someone had removed my old lungs and replaced them with a new set. Astonished, full of energy, excited all the of these feeling and more came over me, and for then next month I can honestly say I have never, in all my life, felt better.
My next appointment with David was made for about 3 - 4 weeks later and I had used my inhalers only one or twice since that second visit, (out of habit more than anything) which was nearly 2 months ago now.

I had been suffering from painful knees for some time and had put it down to two things. Firstly being overweight and secondly using a Dictaphone pedal for the past 17 years.
I contacted David Cunningham and arranged my first appointment, thinking I had nothing to lose by trying just one session.
From the moment David opened the door and invited me in, there was a feeling of calmness that I cannot explain. We talked for a while about how I felt about myself and although I did wonder what that had to do with painful knees, nail biting and being overweight the conversation progressed to my first healing session.
The session began with me lying on a couch and after having been asked to close my eyes and relax David placed his hands on my shoulders. From that first contact there was a complete feeling of being safe and a knowing that everything was going to be alright. I felt surrounded by something I cannot explain but did feel very safe and secure.
One week later, as my car drew up outside David's home I just felt in my heart that David was about to here about me, the real me. No-one other than my husband had any idea about my past, and even my husband did not know everything.
My second session began with us discussing the events over the past week and then completing out of the blue in the middle of the conversation I began to tell David about my past. For almost 35 years I had kept to myself the fact that I had been physically, mentally and sexually abused my Uncle. David heard it all. It felt like an explosion of guilt and hatred for myself had been released.
My second healing session began, and again from the moment David's hands touched my shoulders I was surrounded from head to toe in an experience that I cannot explain. I can only describe it as calmness and gentleness enveloping me.
My healing sessions are still ongoing and I have not experienced anything other than calmness and serenity.
I have to say that I do feel much better about all aspects of my life, including actually thinking and caring about myself which I had never done before.
Since about my third healing session I have had no problems with my knees at all, and because I now feel better about myself I am tackling the weight problem and very slowly overcoming my nail biting habit.
I would sincerely urge anyone who may be suffering from any form of inner turmoil or unforgiveness to consider even one session of healing with David Cunningham. You really have nothing to lose, but everything to gain.

Returning home, somewhat in shock from the bombardment, both physical and emotional, I decided that I needed additional help in order to put up a good fight!
I had read about David Cunningham and contacted him via email. His response was almost immediate and from that first exchange and subsequent phone call, I felt "in safe hands."
I visited him on 2 occasions prior to my operation, once in London and then at his home. After the first session I felt emotionally calmed and physically soothed, an effect immediately noticed by my daughter who had travelled to London with me.
It was after the second visit that I felt that there had been a definite change in the tumour.
Only 3 days later on January 17th I had the mastectomy. Everyone was amazed at my recovery and after 3 days I was allowed home.
I visited David again on February 5th. This time he worked on my arm, which was still very numb and restricted in movement. At the end of the session my arm was more relaxed and I was able to lift it above my head.
On February 8th. I was given the results of my operation. As predicted, I will have to receive chemotherapy and radiotherapy in the short term and hormonal treatment for 5 years but, surprisingly , certainly to the consultant, was the discovery that the tumour was only 2cm!
No explanation was given for this but I was aware of the change, as was David, at that second visit.
I am determined more than ever to continue with healing therapy alongside the conventional treatment. I know that it has made a difference and while those close to me and the medical "professionals" consider my post operative recovery "remarkable"(the latter said by the surgeon about my arm mobility and speed of healing) I can only say that the help I sought has been given to me in no small part by a truly remarkable healer. I just wish that he lived in Nottingham!

David Cunningham is a truly gifted and remarkable man.The general cynical perception (as was my own) of Faith Healing is so wrong. Such cynicism lacks any real knowledge of just what it's all about and, more importantly, just how it can greatly benefit anyone regardless of their age, social background or religious bias.
For my part - let me tell you that in August of this year - the enlarging tumour on my eye-lid was diagnosed to be advanced squemous cell carcinoma. The consultant surgeons were greatly concerned and a series of four, three hour operations were undertaken over September and October. Even if successful, it was forecast that I would probably suffer the inconvenience of having the use of only one eye until the end of the year. The potential impact of such on my business was, to say the least, of added concern.
The surgeons did a magnificent job and I will be forever grateful to them. However - immediately before my final operation in October - I met David Cunningham. I felt such gentle caring, peace and calmness in his presence. Learning of his vocation in life - I had no hesitation in placing myself under his healing hands to accelerate the healing process of my surgery.
What followed was truly astonishing. Before October was out - my eye patch was permanently removed and my vision virtually perfect. The wound from the surgery was healed and is now barely perceptible with no trace of the cancer.
So - does Faith Healing work ? Yes it does - I know it does!
Do you have to be a staunch Christian for it to work ? No - not at all!
All you really need is an open mind, faith in what you are undertaking and an acceptance that David Cunningham has a unique gift which, for many, is beyond common understanding.
If you are in any way troubled - whether in mind, body or spirit - I do urge you to make contact with David.
He is a very gentle man - blessed with the remarkable gift of healing."

" Just to say many thanks. As you know since before our meeting I was struggling with asthma, but after only one session with you the improvement has been amazing. Before last Christmas I was using my inhaler on a daily basis, and often during the night too. Since our meeting I have rarely had to use it."
Not only did you help me with my asthma, but with my outlook and general wellbeing, and you helped me to understand that not everything that had gone wrong in my life was my fault.
Many thanks once again.

" Our family life was turned upside down when my 13 year - old son was diagnosed with Anorexia, the build up to the crisis had been almost non existent, suddenly a healthy child had become something very different "
We were thrown into the hands of the local health authority, private care is a difficult option as no organisation seemed to provide access to the various types of care needed i.e. dietician, psychologist, therapist etc. The early advice was to a) administer drugs if necessary to relieve depression and assist sleep, keep off school in order to be closely watched at feeding times. We also attended "therapy" sessions trying toestablish why this had happened, some of the research involved trying to understand why he was given the Christian name he had and did it have some deep meaning. Basically we were going nowhere, the first two months of "care" saw a further weight loss to 5 1/2 stone.
At that point the family re-took control, I insisted he return to school and through a mutual friend met David. The first meeting revealed a caring man uninterested in baggage or opinion who came into the house almost like a long lost member of the family. My son had had enough of people sitting opposite him looking sympathetic , he was not impressed with another attempt to unlock "his" problem. Needless to say after a couple of sessions his reluctance had turned to requests about whether he would be seeing David again.
The current progress report shows a child getting back to normality, gaining weight, spending times with friends, a situation beyond hope a few short months ago. Circumstance forces you into situations not considered before, all I know is the day David walked in our family crisis became more controlled than controlling, a lovely man, a man who genuinely cares, I call him the human mechanic, he looks at the engine and goes about re-tuning it, the mechanics we had met before had made the engine even worse. I looked at my son on bonfire night, running around laughing and had a pensive moment "good old David"

" For over 30 years I had suffered such distress from this condition. When the problem started in my early twenties, doctors did not have a name for it. It is only in the last 10 years that there has been a lot of publicity in the press and it is now a recognised medical condition. "
Living with IBS was not only a painful experience, it was embarrassing and expensive! I needed a wardrobe of clothes ranging from size 10 to 16! Attacks were alarming. There was no warning. Suddenly, my stomach would swell up making me look as though as I was 9 months pregnant! It wasn't uncommon for passengers on buses and trains to stand up and offer me a seat. I had medical investigations in the UK, Switzerland, Germany, Russia, Malta to name but a few... .but the clinicians could only offer medication. I tried acupuncture, homeopathy, strict dieting, meditation and prayers, Chinese herbs, reflexology etc. etc., all to no avail. Then, in January this year I met you. After our first healing session, I felt incredibly energised. The effect lasted for days. Then during our second session, I felt something "move or dislodge" in my stomach area. I felt my body lighter' and more comfortable. Since that day in January, I have been totally free from IBS.
David, how can I begin to thank you for healing and transforming my life.

" In May 1994, I discovered two lumps in my breast. I felt terrified, one of my best friends had died from breast cancer the year before and I remembered her discovery and follow up treatment vividly. After a hospital visit, when I was told these lumps were 'suspect,' I visited David Cunningham. "
After the first healing session, a tremendous calmness came over me [and] somehow I knew things were going to be OK. Until then, my nerves had been at breaking point, something which was very unusual for me, I had always coped and been in control of my life.
After my second visit, which was quite remarkable, I lay on the couch and felt as though I was rising from it, then beads of light appeared to be rising from my lumps to some unknown force above and I returned to the hospital.
The consultant seemed surprised--one of the lumps appeared to have changed its form and was just a piece of fatty tissue and the other was now a harmless cyst. Both had reduced in size and were now very small. I was give the 'all clear.'
I returned to David for a final visit; again it was quite remarkable. I felt as though I was being cradled in some sort of protective care. Once again I felt as though my body was lifting from the couch and I knew I was safe and being cared for...

" I want to thank you very much indeed for your help...I did wonder if you would be able to help as I had tried osteopathy and physiotherapy over the 20-odd years of suffering. I think I was in a state of shock - one minute there was a great deal of pain and the next - none! "
I was very careful for a few days fearing that I might cause the pain to start up again. Three days after I saw you I did have some back pain and was most upset because I now knew what it felt like to be out of pain and I desperately did not want to return to how I was. However, it was momentary and the next day I was alright again. I have felt ten years younger, two inches taller and have a lot more energy that I have had for a very long time.
I have been able to stand for quite a long time, whereas before I had to sit down after about 15 minutes... Thank you very much indeed for sharing your gift and giving me a new lease on life! I am most grateful.

" I found the time spent with you [at the Hale Clinic] extremely beneficial... During the time when you were ministering healing, I felt a strong burning, energising sensation in my left eye. I do not think this was purely psychological, as I had never experienced anything like this before then.
I left the clinic that evening with such a feeling of spiritual and physical energy; I felt so uplifted and wanted to get home quickly to be on my own for a while
The healing experience seemed very significant. This feeling of energy and light was with me for the next few days... On the 17th March, I noticed an improvement in my vision... In the next week I began to notice other things, some bright colours, the small light on my kettle... My light perception has become a lot stronger and steadier.
I feel so encouraged over this. I am working really hard at strengthening the left eye. I am certainly using the eye a lot more. I believe that I have been given strength and grace to make more of an effort, rather than a miracle dropping out of the sky without my doing anything.
I realise, of course, that to someone with full sight, these improvements may seem very small. However, to me, they mean a great step forward. There have always been so many disorders with [my] left eye that any improvement is tremendously encouraging...

I [had] clutched at every straw I thought would help my son, but nothing [had proved] fruitful. Then I discovered the Dyslexia Institute, which has helped Oliver a great deal, but the amazing leap forward came after seeing you for a couple of sessions.
Oliver is reading words...He reads the complete word instead of sounding out every letter. He is also spelling words, which before he would simply say, 'I can't spell.'...He said spontaneously only recently, 'I can read.' What this has done for his self-esteem is indescribable.
David, thank you for making a difference in Oliver's life.
