The point is that if spiritual healing works, why doesn't it work on limbs?
Obviously, the answer is because there is no cellular process available in humans to do so.
And clearly, the inference is that your alleged "spiritual healing" relies upon physical processes, and is therefore an unnecessary explanation.
As for "spiritual healing" regarding addiction, what is needed to beat addiction is willpower and the desire to change. Gods need not apply. AA has a miserable success rate. Regarding other physical ailments, faith-healing kills children.
You ask for studies to document the efficacy of faith-healing, when you should be providing evidence that it has any whatsoever. You should not be criticizing people who look at information like what I've linked to here and reckon that "spiritual healing" is bullshit, because quitefrankly, that's exactly what it looks like.
