Why Medical Miracles Are So Prolific

By Susan Dawson


Miraculous acts and events are as old as humankind itself. Thousand year old records from all the great civilizations tell of deities, spirits, humans and even animals that somehow defied logic and the laws of nature to accomplish something that was deemed utterly impossible. This is especially true for the field of medicine. There are numerous accounts of sick people that were told that they are terminally ill, only to recover completely. Stories of medical miracles abound to this day.

Debates regarding to miraculous cures abound. There are many medical experts that are more than willing to declare publicly that they have given up on a patient, only to see him or her recover in a remarkable manner. In some cases it is impossible to even trace the original disease after the recovery. However, whether such recoveries are indeed miraculous or due to unknown science is still a matter for discussion and research.

It is understandable that people with terminal and serious diseases seek alternative help and solutions. Many of them scour the internet and other sources for advice and information, and in most cases they are apt to stumble across a host of solutions for their problems. In many cases they will have to deal with a load of hogwash, but stories of miraculous cures have a special appeal.

Many people believe that it is necessary to return to nature in order to affect a miraculous cure. They learn about certain vegetables, herbs and other substances that are said to have properties that can cure almost any disease. Many people actually go for such cures, perhaps because they become desperate. Medical scientists warn against such untested miraculous natural cures, however and it would be a good idea to get a second opinion.

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.

It is surprising to learn just how many ill people turn to alternative healing processes once they learn and accept that they are ill. Many will turn to religion, hoping for a miracle. Others will dedicate their lives to charitable causes, believing that they can gain favor with the deities or the spirits that are in control of the ether. Others promise to change their lives if only they will get better.

There are many cynics that are of the opinion that there is no such thing as miracles. They say that people will try to attribute supernatural intervention to anything that cannot be explained logically or scientifically. Yet many experts in the field of medicine will confirm that they have witnessed recoveries that are totally beyond scientific explanation and that they cannot say just how it happened.

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.
