Prayer cures that.
Besides, if there were no correlation between prayer and health, you would have to think of another reason why religious people live longer.
National average life expectancy for :-
USA (78% Christian) - 78.2 years
Japan (84% Shinto/Buddhist) - 82.6 years
All figures from Wiki.

What is the life expectancy of a Japaneese christian and a Shinto/buddhist who lives in America?
&
Why does a Christian who has an eternity planned out with the God He loves with all of His being want to be here in this life any longer than He needs to be?
This life is a curse or rather plagued with curses. It is the closest thing to a satan run realm there is. Only those who Fear the comming judgement see death as the curse.
