"Today's Tip: Mind/Body/Spirit Week - Praying for Wellness
Praying for wellness is quickly proving to be a legitimate addition to conventional medical treatment. If you're interested in this subject, I recommend you read an excellent book on this topic, "Reinventing Medicine: Beyond Mind-Body to a New Era of Healing," by Larry Dossey, MD (HarperSanFrancisco, 1999). In his book, Dr. Dossey describes a growing body of scientific evidence attesting to the power of prayer in healing - and not only the prayers you make for yourself or that friends and relatives may offer when you're ill. It seems the prayers of strangers - people who know only a patient's first name and diagnosis, and live many miles away - can also influence the medical outcome. "

Its actually pretty amazing isn't it. I remember that in the course of the pursuit of one of my undergraduate degrees which was in Religious Studies, I had to take Philosophy of Religion. I would have to look up the name of the study because I don't know how to cite it off-hand. However, it was a double-blind study in which there was a control group for which no one was praying and one for which prayers were recited regularly. Those for whom prayers were said enjoyed a shorter recovery period with fewer side-effects or complications than those for whom no prayers were said. Very interesting.

I read about this study in Reader's Digest several years ago.

If any of you have seen The Passion, is was those stripes that JESUS took that brought us healing. The Bible tells us that BY HIS STRIPES WE WERE HEALED.
