Surely you have read the power of placebo? Nurofen works better in those who believe it is a better product than generic ibuprofen both the same drug identical. There are lots of tests that prove positive thought as a cure for some ailments

Yeah you're right, there's no bigger placebo than God (not mocking). But I was on about those that use God or faith as for the reason they are cured. The power of the mind has nothing to do with God or any kind of intervention apart from as you say it can give you a reason to be positive.
