ALAPPUZHA: Fr. V.P. Joseph Valiyaveettil, director of Kreupasanam Retreat Centre, has been entered into Alappuzha Sahrudaya Hospital due to fever. He is known as ‘Kreupasanam Achan’ among the believers.

Recently, a woman was hospitalized after she ate a mixture of Kreupasanam newspaper and dosa dough. Kreupasanam newspaper became a topic in the media after this incident. There was a controversy regarding the distribution of Kreupasanam paper by a teacher to her eight standard students. She had directed the students to keep the paper inside their book and under the pillow while sleeping to improve marks in examination.

There was another news where a person sick with dengue was cured by laying him on Kreupasanam paper. A person with a broken hand had his fractured heal quickly, which was another one. These stories received heavy criticism and trolls. Some even said that the intake of this newspaper can cure diseases. Now the director of this newspaper has sought treatment at a hospital amid all such testimonials.
