Prayer’s Power to Heal Strangers Is Examined

Prayer’s Power to Heal Strangers Is Examined
(Washington Post)
The study of more than 700 heart patients, one of the most ambitious attempts to test the medicinal power of prayer, showed that those who had people praying for them from a distance, and without their knowledge, were no less likely to suffer a major complication, end up back in the hospital or die.

The prayers didn’t work because I was desperately wishing for them to die. No, really. It’s quite scientific.
