A member asked:
Why do some religious groups think they can heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Faith: A major aspect of some religious groups is the belief god is active today & cares individually for each person. Many have rituals by which they believe god will intervene when healing is needed. "miracles" do occur, whether real or imagined, which reinforces the belief. If healing does not occur, that is assumed to be god's will. It's a strong sense of comfort for those who believe.
