Healing happens: the miracle of distant healing

Article Abstract:

Healing from a distance, also called nonlocal, mental, spiritual, psychic, and prayer-based, has long been regarded in medical circles as a non-extant phenomenon. Several experiments using controlled, double-blind standards show that is does happen and the most common element used in healing is love - empathy, caring, compassion - and religion is not a factor.
