" [this paper] has been reviewed, revised, and re-reviewed by nationally known experts in biostatistics and in complementary medicine. It reports a 6-month blinded study of 40 patients with AIDS who knew they might receive distant healing treatments representing a variety of traditions. Patients who received treatment had a statistically significant more benign course than control subjects. Does the paper prove that prayer works? No. The authors call for more research, as do we and the reviewers, for a number of reasons." |
