I know, you'd need modern science to collect all the data it possibly could.
Well that's breaking news...by the way, condescension combined with poor spelling is not a good mix.Originally posted by Xelios

... beecause the body repairs itself... yes, your body actually has the ability to heal itself.

Give me any reason you can to suggest otherwise.

The placebo effect demonstrates the mind's ability to affect physiology. There are indeed many studies that confirm this. Studies also show that such things as prayer, 'faith healing', 'healing touch' practices, and so on have absolutely no affect upon cell cultures that are not part of a living body with a brain. I don't think anyone would deny that belief can be a powerful thing. What is often questioned is the veracity of unfounded belief and the problems it can cause.Originally posted by airdog
