Christians. Could you be wrong?

[Huggy Bear]

Of course one doesn't have faith in a placebo, the point is for them not to know it's a placebo, but are told it is a revolutionary procedure, That is what they have faith in.

As it was stated in the article I posted: a man is dying of cancer of the lymph nodes, has difficulty breathing, and is bedridden. He receives injections of a new anticancer drug called Krebiozen (a placebo). Within days the tumors shrink by half and he is eventually released from the hospital. After he finds out he was given a placebo, he dies days later.

Since you say faith has nothing to do with it, why don't you try explaining how this phenomena works?

Is this a real case, or are you just pulling it out of your butt?

When doing animal cancer studies, a group of rats will be given cancer. Some will be treated with an experimental drug, some will not (the control group).

Among the control group with cancer but not given any drug, a certain percentage of the rats will spontaneously have remissions. It happens. No faith required.

I posted the link to the article about 4 times already...
