Shocking: One of the country’s leading clairvoyants tells terminally ill cancer patient not to undergo treatment




One of the country’s ‘leading clairvoyants’ has received a backlash of criticism after she scandalously advised a woman with ovarian cancer not to undergo treatment.

The clairvoyant at the centre of the controversy Bernie Stokes, also known as Bernie Pepper, will be known to many after she appeared on RTÉ’s Operation Transformation last year. It is alleged that Ms Stokes told the terminally ill woman who was suffering from ovarian cancer to ignore all medical advice and not to undergo any chemotherapy treatment. Ms Stokes made the rather flippant comments to a woman who attended one of her shows at Parnell’s GAA club in Dublin. Ms Stokes was so confident that she was right for the woman not to undergo treatment that she claimed that she was putting her reputation on the line and that the woman would be coming back to her when she got the ‘all-clear’ from the doctors the following Monday. However Ms Stokes predictions were wrong and the woman in question health significantly got worse after she delayed undergoing treatment.

The appalling story was brought to light recently after the woman’s cousin Elizabeth contacted Joe Duffy’s Liveline programme on RTÉ Radio 1. The angry and upset woman named Elizabeth told Duffy: ‘My cousin was due to return to hospital before we attended Bernie’s show. She approached my cousin at the show and said to my cousin, “you’re not well”. My cousin told her that she had been diagnosed with cancer.’ Elizabeth further explained that Ms Stokes responded by telling the cancer patient not to listen to the doctors. ‘She was saying, “you don’t have cancer and don’t mind those doctors.”

Ms stokes then told the terminally ill woman’s that her deceased mother had told her that she should not get treatment. Ms Stokes said: ‘Your mother is here and she is telling you not to attempt to go near chemotherapy.’
An emotional Elizabeth then told Duffy: ‘When my cousin returned to the doctor the following Monday she was full of false hope and she put her trust in Bernie and mediums, but she did not get the news she hoped for.’

Elizabeth also explained that the family tried to contact Ms Stokes via her Facebook page to tell her that her cousin had not received the good news that she claimed she would but Ms Stokes never responded: ‘She never responded to us.’ ‘It was unbearable to see the family go through such heartache twice. The first time to be diagnosed and the second for this “medium” to come along and think she can play God.’
