Why Medical Miracles Attract So Much Attention

By Susan Dawson


Since the beginning of time mankind has recorded miraculous events and none of these events are as prolific as medicinal ones. There are numerous stories of desperately ill or injured people that recovered against all hope and expectation. In some cases these healings were affected by humans or animals and in many others it simply cannot be explained. When it comes to medical miracles the jury is still out.

There are numerous debates related to miraculous recoveries. It is an accepted fact that such recoveries actually happen. It simply cannot be denied that there are people that recover against all expectations. The debate is not about that. The debate is rather about whether such recoveries are, in fact, miraculous. It is fact that many medical experts have been unable to explain the sudden recovery of patients that they could not help any longer.

Patients that are diagnosed with serious ailments are understandably upset and many of them simply do not believe that they have fallen victim to a dread disease. They typically start to do research about their particular diseases and they inevitably come across accounts of miraculous cures. Such cures obviously attract attention. It is only natural that patients want to explore every possibility of a cure.

Many miraculous cures are nature based. A variety of people, including medical experts, patients themselves and nutrition experts extol the virtues of specific herbs and foods that are said to have a substantial influence on the progress of the disease in question. Unfortunately, medical science does not always support such curative qualities and this may cause confusion and conflict in the minds of the patients concerned.

It is interesting to note that a large number of faith healers claim that only the deity that they support is actually able to engineer miraculous healings. These healers hold special services, lay hands on their followers or anoint them, and claim to be a channel through which the deity heals the supplicant. Unfortunately, many of these healings have been exposed as fraudulent.

Very sick people sometimes reach a point where they will try anything to get better. In some cases, people think if they become religious they will be rewarded by a miracle. Other people think that the cosmic powers will reward them if they dedicate their lives to charitable causes. Yet others think that mastery of disciplines such as yoga or meditation will give them the power to heal themselves.

Of course, skeptics say that miraculous healings have nothing to do with magic, religion or any other supernatural factor. They say that human knowledge is incomplete and that inexplicable results are common and that the only reason why it cannot be explained logically is because human knowledge is incomplete. Too few clinical or empirical studies have been done about such miraculous healings.

There can be little doubt that there are many stories of medical miracles that simply cannot be explained, not even by the experts. The true origin of these miraculous healings is not known, but it is true that many such incidents have been recorded. Perhaps there are forces at work that only becomes evident to people in dire straits.
