A Polish plumber has become a faith healer after finding a 'mystical' stone while digging up drains under his house.
Jacek Slominski has been swamped by demands from hundreds of patients since he pulled the stone from the earth where it had lain undisturbed for hundreds of years.
"It has a huge Z carved into it and as soon as I touched it I felt this tremendous energy coming from it," he said.
"I've had a bad back for years but all of a sudden all the pain left me and never returned," he added at his home in Bialystok.
Now Mr Slominski has become a full time healer and claims that patients travel hundreds of miles just to touch his healing stone. "I don't understand it but it works and it's better than fixing broken toilets," he said.
