Crowds seek ‘last hope’ cancer cures from herbal ‘doctor’ in Prachin Buri




ON THE first Sunday of every month, thousands of people queue in front of the house of “Mor Saeng” in Prachin Buri for what is believed to be a herbal cure to cancer.

Mor means “doctor” in Thai but Saengchai Haelerttrakul, who is widely known as Mor Saeng, has never received formal training as a physician. “I have seriously studied herbs, though,” Saengchai said. “Also, I have herbal formulas from a Cambodian doctor. They can be used to treat a swollen brain and liver abscesses, etc.”


If you ask me, I can tell you that people who come to me are looking for a last hope. They are terminally ill patients who now receive just palliative care,” he said. To treat the patients, Saengchai has distributed herbal concoctions for free over the past decade on the first Sunday of each month with the help of sponsors who believe in the effectiveness of his formulas. The concoctions have apparently worked well for some patients, Saengchai said, with patients including people from all social classes and family backgrounds.
