Hi, i am from south india. i believe every religion has a power to change you in good ways.but if you have an illness like a fever and your religion says to pray instead of taking medicine or visiting a doctor at a hospital, then it is madness right?

Religion & Health: Medicine is about science (and an art form) and religion is about philosophy and metaphysics. Both have value and can work together. Most religions teach utilizing modern medicine as a way of using divine given gifts to help us. Are you certain your religion prohibits doctor visits? If so, please look deeply into your own values and do what it takes to stay safe and healthy like doctor & prayer.
