Maybe. Yes.: Can praying cure serious diseases? Maybe. But was it coincidence or divine intervention? Impossible to prove (you'll need to ask him). Are there things which medical science doesn't understand? Of course! heck, we can't even cure the common cold. And we still argue over whether salt is good or bad for blood pressure. I always suggest praying that s/he works thru us to help cure you.

No: A century ago the average life expectancy of Indian men was about 39 years. Now it's double that. The reason? ABANDONING prayer, medical spirit, divine healing and all those nonsensical "ancient healing arts" that idiot Americans are so enamored of and adopting modern Western scientific medicine. There's an Arab saying: "Trust in Allah, but tie your camel up first."
