Hehehe, you just reminded me of a great post we had on the forums sometime back. A poster tallied up all the "confirmed" cures from just such a shrine, as reported by devotees of the shrine. The rate of remission in many illnesses that people visited the shrine for was decidedly higher in the overall population (who hadn't visited the shrine), leading the poster to quip that there may be something to the shrine after all; since it seemed that it was actually making people sicker by comparison.
