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.

Another interesting phenomenon is the large number of people, normally fanatically religious, that claim to be able to channel the healing power of the deity and thus cure people of every imaginable disease. Some of these people are extremely popular and they hold huge rallies where they lay hands on people, pray for them and claim to have cured them. Sadly, so many of them have been exposed as complete frauds.

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.

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.

Stories of medical miracles certainly abound and there are many websites that allow people to relate their own personal experiences. Whether there are truly miracles or not is most certainly still an issue for debate. However, those that have experienced bona fide cures will swear that they were recipients of miraculous intervention.
