What the article highlights

• From insight to action. Intuitive observations become doable steps: a conversation, a letter, a pause, gathering documents, a medical consultation—no theatrics, just what helps.
• Calm before decisions. Regina deliberately slows panic so people stop spiraling and can see their situation without distortions.
• Clear ethical code. No fatalism, no promises of miracles—just attentive listening, precise questions, and showing the pattern behind events.
• Healthcare as a partner. Medical referrals (tests, specialists) are standard practice, not an exception.

Cases When Timely Advice Helped Detect Illnesses Early

Regina Weig is a fortune-teller, parapsychologist, and medium — and “Detali” is a serious outlet that follows a scientific view of the world. At first glance there should be no overlap. Yet in reality, Regina helps many people — and there is nothing unscientific about that.

People don’t usually turn to mystics with some special “mystical” problems. Clients bring the same issues anyone has: difficulties in the family, dissatisfaction with life, setbacks in business. The difference lies in the people who are asking.

One person in trouble goes to a psychologist, another to a personal-growth specialist, a third to a rabbi, and a fourth to someone like Regina. Why do many choose this path?

“Because I tell people right away what their problem is and what they need to do,” Regina explains.

A psychologist or coach asks questions — a lot of questions. They probe for a long time, clarify all the circumstances, answer a question with a question like, “And what do you think?” But many people don’t want questions — they want answers. They want to be told right away what needs to be done.

And I think: a child psychologist would hardly disagree with that advice. The second major reason people seek her out is collapsing families.

“Of course, not every relationship can be repaired. But I don’t like divorces and I try to help. Family life is like Lego. You need to adapt to one another and fix mistakes,” Regina explains. “But the person who comes to me must be ready to change. Not sit and cry — we don’t need crying.”

Doctors Don’t Know How to Explain

Regina’s medical recommendations are not the kind that could harm health. She asks her clients to get checked, to do blood tests, CT, MRI, and ultrasound. In short, she calls for prevention and screenings.

The parapsychologist proudly lists cases when, thanks to her timely advice, illnesses were caught at an early stage. A client’s three-year-old child was found to have leukemia in time; today he is a healthy adult and an IDF officer. A physically fit 50-year-old man was found to have heart problems — at first he didn’t believe he needed an exam, then he listened and is now grateful. But people don’t always listen.

“My accountant, a young woman — I spent almost a year persuading her to see a doctor. In the end, they found a serious disease and operated. If she had listened to me right away, the unpleasant consequences would have been smaller,” Regina says with sadness.

After a disease is detected, she also continues to guide clients.

“I never argue with doctors,” Regina says. “But doctors often simply don’t understand what a person needs. They explain everything in their own way — unclear. They can frighten and confuse, rather than plainly say what to do.”

Regina is not a physician; her specialty is different. But she studied anatomy and took courses in psychology.

She also has a psychologist friend. Sometimes the friend refers clients to Regina when she understands they will find it easier to approach the issue from a “mystical” angle.

“I can see the problem right away and say right away what to do,” the parapsychologist explains.

Family Tradition

“Do you ever make mistakes?” — I ask Regina a loaded question.

“Usually I don’t — in 90% of cases. People who never make mistakes don’t exist,” she replies.

Regina Weig has a touching and beautiful story. Shortly before she turned thirty, she experienced clinical death. For several hours, doctors fought for her life, while she saw vivid images. Since then she realized that she could see and feel people’s problems.

Her father was a prisoner in Auschwitz, where almost the entire family died, except for two small children. On her mother’s side, her grandmother was known as a fortune-teller; as a child Regina watched her work.

She believes her abilities are somehow connected with this inheritance. But Regina herself does not read coffee grounds, does not lay out Tarot cards, and does not gaze into a crystal ball. And she does not allow anyone to call her a fortune-teller.

Medium, parapsychologist, mystic — Regina uses these words, but she cannot explain in detail how exactly she “sees,” “knows,” or “feels.”

For many years she worked in Israel. Then she moved to Canada with her children. And recently she returned — it is hard to be a Jew in today’s Canada. Now she is starting to work actively with Israelis again.

Movie-Star Love and a Million Dollars

Expectations for a mystical specialist are sometimes higher than for a psychologist or business consultant. Some clients ask for help to make a movie star fall in love with them, to give tips for stock trading, or to tell them how to win a million in the lottery. There, however, the supplicant gets a cold shower.

“If I saw all the winning numbers, I would be winning money myself,” Regina laughs. “There was a young man with a gambling addiction. I explained to him: you’re simply burning money — you won’t win that amount, you’ll go under. People want to get rich in a second and then lose their homes.”

Some people go into business with the same mindset — chasing easy money, not understanding that business is work and risk. Regina tells such people honestly: you shouldn’t go into business. She can give business advice and pointers, but she doesn’t promise wealth without effort and self-work. She does not believe in that kind of “magic.”

Regina also does not give false hope to those pathologically in love.

“I explain that you can’t love an actor on TV — a person you have never seen up close, never touched,” says the parapsychologist.

Professional Ethics

This profession (though not all who claim it) has its own ethics. It is easy to gain almost unlimited power over a client and pull money from them for years. Even psychologists are guilty of this sometimes — what should we expect from parapsychologists?

“I always set time limits,” explains Regina Weig. “I say: to solve this problem we’ll need three months, four months, half a year. And then I announce: that’s it. No need to waste time — further meetings will keep you from moving forward, and keep me from helping others.”

Of course, many former clients stay in touch with Regina for years: they write letters, ask for advice, thank her, or simply share how their life turned out. But she does not do weekly sessions stretching on for years.

“Another rule: never scare people,” Regina lays out an important principle of professional ethics. “I don’t say: you’re gravely ill, your business is collapsing, your family is falling apart — and only I can save you.”

What Does Science Say?

If we set aside the mystical component and look at esoteric help from a scientific perspective, it can be both a benefit and a harm. A parapsychologist harms when they make a client refuse normal treatment for serious illnesses, or delay going to a doctor.

The classic example is Steve Jobs. After being diagnosed with cancer, he refused surgery for nine months and tried to fix the situation with diet, acupuncture, and a medium’s help. When they finally operated, the cancer had already metastasized. He could not be saved.

In 2017, a group of American researchers looked at the histories of 560 patients with various cancers. They concluded that those who use alternative medicine have a statistically higher risk of dying. But that refers to unscrupulous practitioners who dissuade people from seeing a doctor. That is not Regina’s case.

Attempts have also been made to evaluate the benefits of “mysticism” for health using scientific methods. Perhaps the most interesting is a 2024 meta-analysis by American and Pakistani researchers. They compared 17 separate studies on the effectiveness of different kinds of religious or spiritual help and healing for mental disorders.

The sample included traditional healers, mediums, and clergy of various religions. Taken together, they showed improvement in depression and anxiety — especially if the patient believed in the method. But the quality of some studies raised questions among scientists.

However, not everything offered to you by a health fund has a strictly evidence-based effectiveness. In Israeli clinics and hospitals, acupuncture, manual therapy, and other types of so-called alternative medicine are officially used.

From a scientific point of view, the effectiveness of these methods does not differ from placebo. But that does not mean they don’t help. Placebo helps much more than we tend to think. Israeli medicine understands this and uses such methods to ease a patient’s individual condition — in addition to standard, evidence-based treatment.

On Trump, Bitcoin, and Our Future

To conclude, we speak with Regina about things that are not scientific at all — about predicting the future.

She foresaw the elimination of Osama bin Laden and certain episodes of the coronavirus pandemic. She predicted war with Iran — though, to be fair, many people without any mystical abilities promised the same this year.

Regina also predicted Donald Trump’s election victory. And now she places great hopes on the peacemaking efforts of the American president.

“He will bring peace not only to Israel, but to the whole world — and it will last 50 years,” Regina is certain. “The current war will not end right now; there will be several escalations — two heavy ones. And then a long peace.”

Regina does not recommend investing in Bitcoin. She is sure that at some point it will fall sharply, and other currencies will take its place. As for Israel’s economy, it will recover — but not now. We face a difficult period of 1.5 to 5, or even 7 years.

“Why did you decide to return to Israel now, if you see wars and economic difficulties ahead?” I ask at the end.

“I am a Jew; this is my country — I want to live here,” Regina explains.
