Anthelme Nizier Philippe (25 April 1849,

Le Rubathier, Loisieux, Savoy, France – 2
August 1905, L'Arbresle, Rhône, France)
was a reputed healer and miracle worker.
Nizier Anthelme Philippe (Maître Philippe de Lyon)
1849-1905

Family background
Philippe was born the son of peasants.
He was also known as "Maître Philippe"
or "Maître Philippe de Lyon". His mother
was Marie Vachod (1823–1899) and his
father was Joseph Philippe (1819–
1898). From the age of fourteen he
stayed with his uncle Vachod, a Butcher
in Lyon. He gained a reputation as a
healer by the age of thirteen.

He married Jeanne Julie Landar (1859–

1939) on 6 October 1877 in L'Arbresle. He
had a daughter, Jeanne Marie Victoire
born on 11 November 1878. She died on
29 August 1904 aged 25, just before her
seventh wedding anniversary. He refused
to heal her, saying that it was Heaven's
wish that she should go on ahead, and
predicted the precise course of her
illness and death. "This death," he said,
"has for me been a living crucifixion."

Career
He gained a reputation as a miracle
worker amongst Paris occultists. Having
been harassed for practicing medicine
without a license, he went to St
Petersburg where he was awarded his
Doctor's Diploma in recognition of
extraordinary feats of remote healing
conducted in St Petersburg.

Grand Duchess Militza Nikolaevna of

Russia later introduced Philippe to
Empress Alexandra Feodorovna of
Russia in 1901, and Philippe enjoyed a
brief influence over the imperial couple,
until he was exposed as a charlatan in
1903 and was expelled from Russia.[1]
In October 1884 he presented a paper
(published in French) entitled "Principles
of Hygiene applicable in Pregnancy,
Childbirth and Infancy" at the University
of Cincinnati, Ohio. In recognition of this
the University conferred a Doctorate of
Medicine on him. Many other academic
and social honours were conferred on
him during the 1880s and 1890s in
France and Italy.

Philippe died on 2 August 1905 at the

age of 56, in L'Arbresle, Rhône, France
where he was living. He was buried in the
cemetery of Loyasse, in Lyon, France.
Jean Chapas (1863–1932), the beloved
disciple of Master Philippe, is also buried
in the cemetery of Loyasse.

Books

biography Vie et Paroles du Maître
Philippe (Life and Words of the Master
