The seventh son of the seventh son, Danny Gallagher, from Maghera, County Derry, according to ancient Celtic Lore, possesses the power to heal people by simply touching them.
When he was only eight years, Danny said he had a vivid dream communicating his strange power over illness. However, despite his visionary dream, he didn't make use of his faith healing powers for several years. Instead, after leaving school, he bought an ice-cream van. But the familiar chimes hadn't rang long in his hometown when he performed his first cure on a local crippled girl, whom he always saved a free ice-cream for.
The story of the cure was reported in his local newspaper, and Danny's life soon became a metamorphosis.
As people began to claim more cures, the media took notice, at first concentrating efforts on exposing him as a fraud, later supporting him with exclusive accounts.
One cure in the Midlands of England did more to enhance Danny's reputation than any cure before or since. This was the cure of Jean Pritchett, a 40-year old housewife who had been blind for 22 years from what was diagnosed as 'retinitis pigmentosa'. Despite visiting specialists all over the UK, she couldn't find help. Her cure caused an immediate sensation and attracted front page headlines in October 1976. The medical profession, however, was immediately critical.
The Pritchett 'miracle' was followed a month later by Danny's equally remarkable cure of Kathleen Bailey from the village of Dawley, near Shrewsbury, England. Mrs Bailey, a 29-year old mother of three, had been confined to a wheelchair with degeneration after spinal injury at work 11 years before. The condition did not respond to medical treatment and grew progressively worse. Friends and relatives persuaded her to visit Danny at his clinic in Erdington, Birmingham.
After treatment by the Derry healer, she was able to leave her wheelchair and walk. Since then, Danny has travelled Ireland, the UK and large parts of the world curing people with various ailments such as arthritis, eczema, anorexia and depression.
