Faith healing is a form of spiritual therapy that is "the use of faith and spirit to cure disease."[1]

The Cochrane Collaboration concludes "although some of the results of individual studies suggest a positive effect of intercessory prayer,the majority do not and the evidence does not support a recommendation either in favour or against the use of intercessory prayer."[2]
