FAQ
Common questions
Is faith healing scientifically proven?
No. Scientific evidence for faith healing's physical effects is limited and largely observational, and controlled studies of intercessory prayer show no consistent effect on medical outcomes. For many people it holds deep spiritual and community meaning, which can itself support coping. It must never delay or replace medical care for serious conditions.
