These people DO NOT HELP!
SCAMMERS they only want money
They make you think they’re there to “cure” you!
If you don’t pay them they make you feel attacked! They make you think something evil is going on with you and they’ll make it all better
So sad because if you’re going through hard times and they tell you everything you think you want to here you’ll believe but then they’ll bring up money thousands and thousands of dollars
If you can’t or don’t pay them what they are asking for they start telling you bad things are going to you and your family
Please DO NOT fall for this they are EVIL!

We have had the same experience most of you had but caught on after they asked for $9000
They did the foil burning thing
They did the drink to make you vomit
Our consultation was $40 then they asked for more money
And more money
Then they make you feel so much pressure
Uncomfortable even guilty in a way
They attack and pressure when you are at your worse and tell you everything you think you want to here
When you’re desperate to find help you try to find someone to help and these people DO NOT help
they take advantage of you and all they want is money
BEWARE SCAMMERS!

My mother was concerned about my brother, who has mental health issues. She worries about him and is trying everything to get her son back to a healthy mental state. This place targets the desperate by promising holistic and spiritual treatment and therapy.

This place is all over social media, and my aunt sent her a video. This place promises that they can cure and fix anything with their spiritual guidance. She scheduled a consultation with them. They immediately scared her so they could manipulate her. They first started with a fee of $3,000 to fix her son. They told my mom that my brother was being attacked by demons and that he would soon end up in a wheelchair and vegetative state if she didn't do the therapy. They promised to pray with my mom and brother to get rid of the demons and heal his condition.

She agreed and paid them the fee of $3,000, and a schedule of consolation was planned. In the first session, my mother and brother attended their Los Angeles office located at 2414 N Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90031. They took both of them to a back room and began the "spiritual holistic treatment" to eliminate the demons. They made my brother and mom hold a piece of tin foil and started reciting prayers. After reciting prayers, the tin foil began to get warm. They used that as an example that the therapy works because the tin foil is getting hot. That means the demons are leaving the body. My brother recognized this was a scam and refused to return for a second session.

My mother, on the other hand, believed everything this place said. She started to get more desperate and pleaded with my brother to continue. She genuinely thought that his life was on the line. She was in a frantic state, and at this point, this place could manipulate her into doing and trying anything. After talking to this place over the phone and telling them that my brother was not returning, they didn't care; they told her they could cure him through her if she went in and continued the sessions herself.

In the second session, they made her drink something and recited prayers. The story she tells is that she started to vomit dark, mud-like water. My mother said that she saw worms in the vomit.

The person treating my mother again pointed out that this is a good sign and a sign of the demons leaving the body. At this point, my mother told everyone that this place was helping her and she needed to continue, or my brother would end up in a vegetative state. She told everyone that the therapy was genuine because of the tin foil trick and the tonic that made her vomit.

We all were immediately concerned for her and recognized that this place was manipulating my mom. They had her frantic, stressed, believing and doing things she would never do in a normal state of mind. She would not reason or listen to any of our concerns. She said she was going to continue to go and finish the therapy. She said that my brother's life depended on it.

We knew that she would continue to go, and we didn't want her to go alone the third time. My sister decided to go with her on the third session. My sister said they did not allow her to go to the back room where the therapy session would happen. They told her she could wait in the reception. My sister decided to go to her car instead of staying in the lobby. After a certain amount of time, my elder brother called my sister to see what was happening!

He just got a call from my mother asking him for 30K and thought maybe she had been kidnapped. My mother was in a frenzy trying to collect 30K and didn't have time to explain, and all she said was she needed the money now. My sister's goal was to get my mother out of this place. She tried to go back inside, and the door was locked. She was knocking, and the receptionist refused to open the door. Luckily a third person was leaving, so she could enter the place. It was an emergency! She told the receptionist that she needed to speak with her mom now! The receptionist tried to make an excuse and said that she really should not be interrupting the session. My sister remained firm and insisted that she needed to see her mom now.

My sister described my mother as someone who has been brainwashed. She asked my mom to go outside so they could talk. My mother did not want to leave. My sister had to plead with her. She finally agreed to speak outside because the session could not continue with my sister in the room. My mother left with my sister and told her that she would return to finish the session. This time she told my sister that she needed 30K, which she needs now.

This time, Caminos De La Vida told her that she would get cancer and her son would die because of the demons attacking them both. They convinced her that she needed to pay an additional 30K to cure and rid themselves of these demons attacking her and my brother. At his point, my mother was desperate and in tears! She really was in shock! as if she had just left a hospital and the doctor told her she had cancer with a week to live. In my mother's words, she had no options but to give them what they required, or else she was getting cancer, and my brother was going to die.

My sister was able to keep her outside until my elder brother arrived. After a while, my mother agreed to leave with them and not return to finish the session.

My eldest brother found a Telemundo report about this place and the scams they have done in the past. You can find the video and article by searching "Pago, Casi $10,000 pr Tratamientos Espirituales" or searching telemundo.com.

They did the same trick as they did to my mother to get them to believe that they were being attacked by demons to collect thousands of dollars from the victims.

Seeing this report from Telemundo, she started coming back and finally agreed to leave. However, she still believed the horrible predictions they told her to scare her.

I'm trying to warn others first so it won't happen to others. I don't know how a place like this can operate without being shut down. We need to do something because they continue to operate in Los Angeles and still get people to fall for the scam even after a tv report exposed them.

Absolutely incredible scammers! They targeted my elderly aunt and almost swindled my mom. They came to her apartment and put on quite a show to convince her that there’s a demon in her home and used practical effects to scare her into believing the Maestro Rafael. They asked her for $6000 to get rid of this demon. 6000! Thankfully she told me a day before she was going to meet him to give him the money and I found all of these testimonies of these clowns doing the same scare tactics to others. I opened her eyes and she’s gonna steer clear from them but I HATE that they already got my aunt and that they know where she lives. Absolutely vicious how they prey on the elderly superstitious/religious. PLEASE AVOID THESE SNAKEOIL SALESMAN

Hello, I would also like to help out they also scamed my parents. They first asked us for the consultation fee then asked us for another $5,xx.xx, and yes they do make you believe that your are under a black magic spell. They also told my parents that a close family member was doing black magic on our family. On our 1st visit they told us to bring foil, water and ,alcohol. They said my dad was too weak to use his body so I threw up for him in that bowel, and same thing we went to the cemetery found that rock and took it to el "Maestro". and yes inside the rock was 3 small death saints and also a note. They note stated we either had to pay $6x,xxx or cut 3 small children's head off of the age of 6. Then he got "possessed" and feel to the floor and white foam started coming his mouth. Another "Maestro was there told us to leave while he was having an episode. Called me the next day and stated that the "Maestro" was unconscious and we had to pay all that money in order for him to get better.

Hi there, this has been happening to lots of women. Can you contact me so I can post your review on their Google page. We're trying to take them down.

They claim to heal people from black magic that is destroying the individual physically, mentally and spiritually. They ask you to take aluminum foil, water and alcohol on your first visit. They charge between $*** for consultation(one time fee) and after that they do everything in their power to really make you believe you’re being attacked by black magic. In my mom’s experience they made her believe that someone very close to our family was doing some type of danger through black magic to her. On the second visit my mom had to take a liter of water, a liter of sparkling water and nopalina capsules. The “profesor” told her to drink about 4 nopalina capsules along with 16 ounces of water then 16 ounces of sparkling water and again another 16 ounces of water. She did and it made her throw up into a bowl. She then started believing that everything he would tell her was true. He contacted my deceased cousin through some “spiritual ceremony” to which her response was very specific as to what my mom had to do in order to get rid of everything bad that was happening in our family. When the spiritual ceremony was done, the profesor told my mom that the only way he could help her was for her to pay *** dollars. My mom eventually found a way to get that money and she paid it to him in cash. A few days later she had to go back for another spiritual ceremony to which then my cousin revealed where this “black magic item” was at. We were directed to a cemetery about 20-30 minutes from the location where all this took place. We went and had to find a specific graveyard with a specific name. Crazy enough, we found the graveyard. My mom took one look around the ground and she instantly knew something was up because part of the grass looked recently dug up. So my mom decided to dig in that specific spot and she found what she thought was a rock. She was very scared so she grabbed it quickly and threw it into a plastic bag. We cleaned up the mess we made and left back to the certain location. The profesor then decided to clean up the rock and it was actually a skull. We don’t know if it was a real skull or fake. He grabbed a hammer and began to smash the bottom of the skull. He began to pull whatever was inside to which we found out there was a small saint of death figurine in there along with a note. The note basically said that my mom had to burn $*** dollars OR drink the blood of 6 children in order to get rid of everything bad in her life. My mom was very upset and we headed home. Came to find out a few hours later that someone went through the same experience but it was in Mexico. These people tend to scare people into thinking the worst and scamming them out of hundreds and thousands of dollars. All of this happened in exactly 3 weeks. This location is brand new. They have 2 doors which are ALWAYS locked as well.
