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.

There are numerous debates related to miraculous recoveries. It is an accepted fact that such recoveries actually happen. It simply cannot be denied that there are people that recover against all expectations. The debate is not about that. The debate is rather about whether such recoveries are, in fact, miraculous. It is fact that many medical experts have been unable to explain the sudden recovery of patients that they could not help any longer.

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 miraculous cures are nature based. A variety of people, including medical experts, patients themselves and nutrition experts extol the virtues of specific herbs and foods that are said to have a substantial influence on the progress of the disease in question. Unfortunately, medical science does not always support such curative qualities and this may cause confusion and conflict in the minds of the patients concerned.

It is ironic, or perhaps obvious, that so many people that profess to be in special contact with God or other deities claim to be their exclusive earthly instruments on earth when it comes to curing disease and other ailments. In fact, faith healing has become a huge industry and many people have found, mostly to their detriment, that they have become the victims of a charlatan.

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.

Of course, skeptics say that miraculous healings have nothing to do with magic, religion or any other supernatural factor. They say that human knowledge is incomplete and that inexplicable results are common and that the only reason why it cannot be explained logically is because human knowledge is incomplete. Too few clinical or empirical studies have been done about such miraculous healings.

There are numerous stories of medical miracles. Whether they can be explained scientifically or not is surely not the issue. The issue is that people that were completely hopeless have experienced a cure that were not expected, that cannot be explained and that goes beyond human understanding. For many, that is enough.
