| I've always been a great believer in some level of psychosomatic healing. It doesn't require any mystical explanation: you body heals itself by generating chemical reactions (to knit bones, to kill diseases and so on). We know the brain influences some chemical reactions -- adrenline releases for example. It's relatively easy to believe that somehow the brain/mind influences how the body heals itself. I don't know enough about biochemistry or medicine to know anything about how complex it is for this to happen, but I can see that it's at least conceivable without reference to any spiritual force. |
