Prayer really is capable of healing the sick.The power of prayer really can help cure the sick.What do you say?

The power of prayer really can help cure the sick, according to a new study. A US team from Indiana University, led by religious studies professor Candy Gunther Brown, examined the effects of prayer in Mozambique and Brazil where spiritual healing for the blind and deaf is common. In the African country, a woman named Maryam could not see a hand with two raised fingers from a distance of one foot. But a healer put her hand on Maryam's eyes, hugged her and prayed for a minute. She then held up five fingers, which Maryam was able to count from the same distance, according to researchers, reports the Daily Express. She went on to read the 20/125 line on an eye chart - meaning she had 40 per cent sharpness of vision, if judged against 20/20 or 100 per cent perfect vision. Other visually-impaired people also showed improvement after prayers, the researchers claimed. The team also reported that two deaf subjects showed a 50 decibel improvement in their hearing after spiritual intervention.

1. Medical science tends to work much better.
2. yes i feel coz i believe in miracles and they are the result of true devotion and prayer...so i think praying heals mentally as well as physically.
3. Prayer makes the people to become confident. this will produce positive energy to fight with cure. the feeling of positives only make man healthy.
4. Sounds a tad fishy to me. Are these results repeatable? Did they do a follow up to see if the improvements lasted? Where these improvements just momentary blips that show that denial of ones condition can allow you to surpass your limits for a short time?
5. I say I prayed for my grandpa when he got alzheimers, he died the next day. I arrived at atheism a few years later.
6. Once I saw a lobster with the number 666 clearly visible in the pattern on his shell. I was personally blessed by the archbishop of Mexico. This article is about as believable as Dick Cheney...
