amounts of money from poor, sick, hopeless individuals and families, looking for a miracle from God. I do not believe that faith healers like Benny Hinn and Peter Popoff are nothing more than conmen, getting rich off the hopes and fears of others (“A Question of Miracles, Part 1 &2”, www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmclWMdKLs8, www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeT8Mx2Lrr8; “Peter Popoff, Fraudulent Faith Healer”, www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNl52deOZro).

While we take our understanding of healthcare and faith from the well-defined intersection of medicine and Christianity, there are broad variations in belief and practice that enter into the medical traditions and values of every religious denomination.

Albularyo, Manghihilot, and Faith Healer (Philippine's Traditional Health Care) Albularyo Based on my research, the word Albularyo came about from the Spanish word 'herbolario' which means herbalist. [1] Usually, there is a history of healers in the family tree. Their 'healing power' is bestowed by a supernatural being through a 'calling.' Albularyos commonly lack in formal education but are trained by their elder or a local healer. It takes years to become familiar with the teachings, rituals

People pray to God for many things that are asked of God one of them is healing the sick. In China, the Chinese ask for healing prayers for their congregation. Healings are fully expected after their prayers and they expect testimonies of the people who are prayed for to let them know of their healing. Prayers are usually said by church elders or an ordained pastor. Groups kneel at the altar in prayer murmuring praying for the healing of the sick. This is seen in countless congregations all over China

The Biology of Prayer and Healing “When we set ourselves to the work of collecting or re-collecting the scattered pieces of ourselves, we begin a task which, if carried to its natural conclusions, ultimately becomes prayer.” Skepticism Science and Faith: Freud, one of the most well respected researchers of the human experience, claims that religion is a “universal neurosis that civilization substitutes for a more authentic personal reality based on scientific knowledge” (Jones and Butman

Kathryn Kuhlman was born in Missouri on May 9, 1907 to a Methodist mother and a Baptist father. When Kathryn was at the age of fourteen, she went to a Methodist church with her mother and encountered the Holy Spirit for the first time. Kathryn recounts her testimony in a video and she said, “We were sitting there, it was time for the last song and I was holding the old fashion Methodist hymnal, whether anyone has ever been converted in that church before or since I’ll never know, but when the last

3. HEALING AND ITS INSIGHTS 3.1 Introduction Jesus’ willingness to cross boundaries, to touch, cleanse and eat with people brings life and hope to the one who had none. The common people flock to Jesus, believing that he can help them. He never turned aside from the call of suffering. Unfailing readiness to help the afflicted was his mission. The story in our Text inspires us to reflect about the need of humanity to be healed and to heal. It carries the good news for every aspect of our life for

the laying on of hands, and I decided to do postdoctoral research on this healing process. (Kriegger, 1979, p7)   Bernard Grad is an associate professor in the department of Psychiatry at McGill University in Montreal and a research scientist in the Gerontological Unit of the Allan Memorial Institute of Psychiatry. In a paper titled "Laboratory Evidence of the Laying on of hands", published in the book "Frontiers of Healing", he discusses his experiments on how energy from a healer can be transferred

Dossey points to the Spindrift experiments as showing conclusively that prayer works. The Spindrift organization spent a decade performing laboratory experiments trying to determine which prayer strategy was most effective: directed prayer for a specific outcome, or non-directed prayer, having no specific outcome. Directed prayer participants tried to “direct” the process of prayer with having an outcome in mind. For example one may wish to rid a person of cancer, or recovering from a heart disease
