WHO IS PETUR DIMKOV?
He was born in Sofia on 19th December 1886 -- St. Nicolas day (OS). His father was a priest in St. Petka and St. Nedelya churches. His grandmother was a naturopath and she often dictated the little Petyo recipes. He was writing them down in a special notebook. During his life Petur Dimkov inscribed more than 10 000 recipes using over 300 types of herbs.
In 1900 Petur Dimkov enrolled at the Poltava Cadet Corps, which he graduated with honours. Then he studied in the St Petersburg's Military Academy which he graduated in 1909 also with honours. In Russia Dimkov met the work of the greatest Russian writers and the socio-political thinkers, which influence him to believe in "the power of the human soul". Just about 16 years old he was enchanted with Tolstoy's ideas and as a first step he became a vegetarian.
In July 1909 Petur Dimkov was enlisted in the Bulgarian army. He participated in the Balkan War, the Second Balkan War and the World War I. and along with the accoutrements he always brought with him the Bible. Dimkov firmly believed that God is inside us and there is no obstacle that hinders us to make connection with Him.
Petur Dimkov was decorated with all the military orders that were given in Bulgaria. He was injured eight times. His words say: "Respect yourself, have the faith in yourself. This is the best way to strike the others with respect and trust.
Though the recantation of the ruling circles, they often asked for his help. Even the first leader of the communist world Leonid Brezhnev asked personally for his assistance. The meeting took place during one of the visits of the soviet leader. Dimkov gave him advice not to relay on the climate here -- Brezhnev was curing in Bankia. He had to search for a better treatment for his desease.
The daughter of the Bulgarian dictator Todor Zhivkov -- Liudmila Zhivkova, after a serious automobile accident, cured according to the prescriptions of Dimkov. After the treatment was over her headache disappeared completely, so did the scar on her forehead. Moreover, Liudmila was speaking for hours with the healer of Bulgaria. She began to take books from his personal library. She even called him: " Father Petyo". Petur Dimkov was more than a doctor, he became also a teacher of Liudmila. Influenced by him she was preparing a book about the Bogomilism. In July 1981 Liudmila Zhivkova unexpectedly died. A couple of months later, on 4th October 1981 Petur Dimkov suddenly died while he was sleeping.
During his lifetime Dimkov had often met the celebrated Bulgarian prophet Vanga. Nobody witnesses their meetings. During one of her stays in the Sofia hospitals Vanga infected Dimkov with virus pneumonia. The doctors saved him with great difficulties. During his long sickness the healer often lost consciousness. Even in this condition, exhausted by the sickness, in semi-consciousness, he was trying to get up, to see and cure his patients.

@kakvostava The "intention" is that Peter Dimkov was a follower of Peter Deunov. Both - healers, but not only. Dimkov is on the last few slides.
