New research surprises scientists
Medical doctor Larry Dossey has written a book about many of the scientific research projects involving medicine. One project, with heart patients, produced astonishing results. Dr. Dossey writes:
"Over a 10-month period, a computer assigned 393 patients admitted to the coronary care unit at San Francisco General Hospital to either a group that was prayed for by home prayer groups or to a group that was not remembered in prayer. The study was designed according to rigid criteria, the kind usually used in clinical studies in medicine. It was a randomized, double-blind experiment in which neither the patients, nurses, nor doctors knew which group the patients were in.
"The prayer groups were given the first names of their patients as well as a brief description of their diagnosis and condition. The prayed-for patients differed in several areas:
"They were five times less likely than the unremembered group to require antibiotics. They were three times less likely to develop pulmonary edema, a condition in which the lungs fill with fluid... None of the prayed-for group required endotracheal intubation, in which an artificial airway is inserted in the throat and attached to a mechanical ventilator, while 12 in the unremembered group required mechanical ventilatory support. Fewer patients in the prayed-for group died (although this difference was not statistically significant)."
This experiment was so impressive that it prompted the following comment from Dr. William Nolan, who has written a book to debunk faith healing. Dr. Nolan said: "It sounds like this study will stand up to scrutiny... Maybe we doctors ought to be writing on our order sheets, 'Pray three times a day.' If it works, it works."
