Hi guys
As a medical pro, this trend has been disturbing me for some time. Some die hard religious guys are using claims that praying can heal diseases like cancers. It is true that praying, meditation can indirectly contribute to the well being of human body. But, how can it becomes the radical treatment of a deadly disease which minute by minute sends its cells to destry the body.Now, these claims are used to attract more and more to their religion also.
Guys what do you think? Shall we stick to well tested medical procedures, combine both alternative elements with med. procedures or use only healing powers of prayers? What do yu all think?

as a bible believing christian i would be very suspicious of any 'religion' which advocated prayer alone. although personally i don't like 'alternative' therapies, there is nothing wrong with using all available medical treatments and having your fellow christians (in my case) pray for you.
imho anyone who says only the healing powers of the body should be used against diseases like cancer is a little bit loopy :-)
