Attitude and its effect on healing
Frako writes:
Personally i think faith healing is also over-publicized, I have an acquaintance he busted his back in an accident the doctors told him he would never walk again, he got really depressed and kept staring at the x-ray photos 1 month after he had been discharged he felt a burning sensation in his back and after that he could feel his legs now after months of therapy he can walk as any normal person.
The doctors are still scratching their heads. Though he is not religious (he never was, he never prayed for a miracle and i seriously doubt his brother or mother did.)
Now had the person been a Christian and at least once said god had something to do with it it would be all over the news with pastors behind him saying how god is good and what not. Because he is not it hardly made the papers.
I think a lot of those so called healing miracles are only labeled miracles because we still know too little about the human body and its regenerative and healing abilities.
Attitude and resolve play a role in the healing process. If one visualizes themselves healed it may well make a difference in the response within the body itself. The patient needs to take an active role in the healing process, however. Simply "letting go and letting God" is a passive attitude...whereas Imagining yourself strong and victorious could be beneficial. (guided imagery...meditation...etc)
