I just heard this on the radio while taking a shower and am trying to find a link. I was completely amazed at what the Bush Appointed official Dr. W. David Hager said about this "research". He said he felt it was his "duty" to find if this could be an alternative to normal Health Care since poor people can't afford Health Care but they could all pray. Hager truly believes that prayer could heal. I'm not talking about a cold or a bruise. I'm talking about cancer, aids, spinal cord injuries, blindness, etc. WTF!?!

Anyone else pissed off that our hard earned money is going to something so ridiculous?

Not any more pissed off than I am about the federal wealth redistribution programs and other sacred cows/entitlement programs.

Well, it has been proven that people who think more positively, have a good support system, etc. tend to heal quicker. Being the case, it could save major $$ if people are taught about the power of positive thinking.

strress causes many ailments. prayer usually reduces stress for most people. That said, it won't cure cancer.
