This list is intended for patients to share personal experiences with each

discussed here, please consult your doctor.

Liane,

Thank you for starting a list which encourages faith. Thank you for

notifying those of us who are members of this list. I appreciate the

work you are doing for free to help others, and certainly do not

consider this an advertisement.

It might be interesting to post a scientific study or two here

indicating that prayer seems to relate to healing.

Best,

Nice, objective article on the role of faith and attitude in health.

I especially liked the last paragraph on gratitude. Did your mom teach

you to say, " Thank you? "

Sorry, I concur will a on this one! We allow other 'support' methods and

lists to be posted, why should this be singled out to not be allowed? We don't

advocate turning this list into a 'religious' list but if something does affect

our health/wellness or support, I think people need to hear about it. We've

heard about things way stranger than this, LOL

I don't agree. I'd like this list to stay focused on medical issues,

if possible. The idea of setting up a separate space for faith-based

solutions is an excellent one.

Hey Sara,

I can't resist. You want us to stay focused on coffee enemas, right?

(Please take this as the joke it was meant to be.)

There have been some nice research studies on the power of prayer and

positive thinking on health.

I must say that after ten years of illness I find the fact that

Recuperation is working for me borders on a complete miracle. I might

even start a new religion with Recup as my " holy water. "

Good to hear this, Kath. People who know me will not believe I am pro

something as simple as a mineral powder, but ya never know. At this

point after 10 years and a lot of ups and downs I will try snake oil,

na, not really, but mineral power isn't too scary.
