Today, the former hospital houses a museum that commemorates those years and that offers information about leprosy.
Just in case you cannot hop in the car and head to Louisiana, consider one of these virtual tours.

As James Carville says in the book's Forward, "...our little town in southern Louisiana became a model for the world, a place of hope, progress, and tolerance."Sounds much like Kalaupapa, Hawaii where my Healing Water takes place.
And BTW - this week, Linda Andersen is giving away a copy of Healing Water over at A Writer's Playground.
Thanks for this, the virtual tour was very interesting. I have always wondered about Carville and what it was like there. As I said yesterday, I read that book by Betty Martin who went there as a teenager.
ReplyDeleteRemember the movie Avatar?
DeleteWhere all those blue people were connected by an
“energy”?
They were able to communicate with plants and
animals?
Well, that is not just a fantasy.
It turns out that kind of “energy” is real.
Deepak Chopra wrote about a study, where scientists
saw monkeys dipping potatoes in saltwater before
eating it.
Then they saw the rest of the tribe doing it.
Pretty logical so far right?
But get this: Monkeys in different parts of the WORLD
started dipping potatoes in salt water.
There was no way they could have communicated
with each other.
The only explanation was that they communicated
through an invisible, “intelligent energy.”
The Japanese call this energy “Ki”.
It stands for “Life Force”
In fact, a man named Mikao Usui developed a
SYSTEM of healing called Reiki.
And this system of healing uses this intelligent energy
to heal people.
It is one of the most ancient, profound and
POWERFUL healing arts in the world.
Reiki masters can HEAL just by touching someone
with their hands.
They can also heal people REMOTELY using their
intention.
It’s amazing.
It USED to take YEARS and THOUSANDS of dollars
to become a Reiki master.
But this guy named Owen Coleman discovered how
to attain these healing powers rapidly.
Even in as little as 48 hours.
According to him he already had this power, but
don’t realize it. And that’s we don’t have to spend too
much time learning it.
We just need to recognize it and release it.
[Check out his presentation on Reiki here.]
Alright, till next time.
Yours Truly,
Mr Ana
P.S. - Owen is offering a special training that
won't be around forever.
He's planning on releasing his training methods on
a large scale.
But for now, it is invitation only.
So, if I were you, I'd take advantage of that as well.
Look forward to hearing from you!

ReplyDeleteI want to get my hands on Miracle at Carville. Am glad to know the author's name.
ReplyDeleteHi Joyce,
ReplyDeleteGlad to know about this museum. I love history. I added a link to your guest blog post to send readers here. It's great how much attention we're bringing to this topic.
Thanks Linda for linking. I just discovered a PBS documentary on Carville. Think I'm going to blog it. Hoped to find a trailer to post here but did not.
ReplyDeleteFascinating. I had no idea there had been such a hospital in NC. None of our local libraries has either book, but maybe I can find them at the university library. Thanks for letting me know about them.
ReplyDeleteRosi. Yes, maybe University library or ILL would work.
ReplyDeleteThe hospital was actually in Louisiana, though.
