Common questions

Is Consiglia De Martino real or fake?
Miracles Jar's verdict is Gold: real — and hard to explain. Hard to explain by nature — and strongly documented. On the evidence, the record is strongly attested.
Has Consiglia De Martino been debunked?
No. Hard to explain by nature — and strongly documented. The strongest natural alternative considered is spontaneous remission & the body's own recovery, but it does not fully account for the case.
What is the evidence for Consiglia De Martino?
Miracles Jar weighs 4 sources for this case. Points that support the claim: Two CT (CAT) scans diagnosed the ruptured thoracic duct with an estimated two liters of lymphatic fluid; X-rays on November 3 and a confirming CT on November 6 showed the collection and rupture gone; The Consulta Medica (5-member specialist panel) unanimously declared the cure scientifically inexplicable on April 30, 1998; and Standard care for a thoracic-duct leak is conservative drainage over up to two weeks, then ligation/embolization if it persists; spontaneous closure of an estimated two-liter cervical collection within ~24 hours has no close analog in the surgical literature. Points that cut against it: There is no peer-reviewed medical publication of this case — unlike the Micheli sarcoma cure, which was written up in a medical journal.
What is the natural explanation for Consiglia De Martino?
The leading natural account is spontaneous remission & the body's own recovery. Diseases sometimes resolve without treatment, or despite it. “Spontaneous” rarely means “no mechanism” — more often it means a mechanism we are only beginning to instrument. The full breakdown shows where that explanation holds — and where it stops.
When and where did Consiglia De Martino happen?
It is said to have occurred November 2–3, 1995 in Salerno, Italy.
