Some call it miracle, some a fraud, but no one can ignore the power of faith healing. A system, for the lack of better word, that relies solely on prayer and confession to bring back sight to the blind and make a cripple walk, faith healing is perhaps proof of the existence of God.

   Faith healing is the attempt to use religious or spiritual means such as prayer, mental practices, spiritual insights, or other techniques to prevent illness, cure disease, or improve health. Faith healers say they can summon divine or supernatural intervention on behalf of the ill. Faith healers say their practice may afford gradual relief from pain or sickness or bring about sudden "miracle cures." Faith healing may be used in place or, or in tandem with, conventional medical techniques for alleviating or curing diseases. It has been criticized on the grounds that those who use it may delay seeking conventional medical care. This is particularly problematic when parents use faith healing on children.
