No - but I am a strong believer in the powere of positive thought, and prayer.

If it makes the person feel better, then it certainly can't do any harm.

Agreed that a positive attitude will help; after all, negative attitudes are stress-inducing, and we all know that stress is bad for you.

I'm always rather wary of things that aren't susceptible of scientific explanation, but don't like to fall into the trap of dismissing something just because it's not susceptible of scientific explanation; to do so is just to replace faith in (e.g.) religion with faith in science, which isn't scientific

My O Level physics teacher was extremely scientific in attitude, yet he eventually left teaching to train and practice as an acupuncturist. A chronic condition from which he suffered had been relieved by acupuncture, and he was quite happy to accept that, although he had no explanation for how it worked, his own experience demonstrated that it did work. That to me is much more the attitude of a true scientist than the arch-sceptic who dismisses something out of hand on the sole basis that their existing corpus of knowledge doesn't allow them to understand it.

"I don't have a hangover"

A good example is “The Miracle man” who crashed a plane was told he’d be a vegetable for the rest of his life but ‘decided’ he was going to walk out of the hospital in Christmas day – and did.

As I said above, Thomas (my nephew) was 12 weeks premature. Brain haemmorage, double hernia, wonky willy, chronic lung disease. Really low chance of survival. Experts said that he's just be a vegetable his whole life.

When he had surgery for his hernias (at 4 months) they said he'd be on oxygen for a few days. Instead, he ripped his breathing tube out himself after a couple of hours and wanted to breathe on his own.

He's 10 now, is autistic and has problems. But he's certainly nowhere near how they said he'd be.
