"Are Val Kilmer's religious beliefs preventing him from treating a serious tumor? His family apparently thinks so.
"The actor was rushed to the hospital on Jan. 26 after he began bleeding from his throat. Val reportedly underwent surgery, a claim he has denied, and doctors found a tumor. But, it seems that Val has known about the tumor for some time and chose not to do anything about it.
Val, though, is calling reports on his health "gossip and silly talk." His family isn't buying what he's selling.
Family members told TMZ that they urged Val to seek treatment but he has been refusing to do so because of his Christian Science beliefs. Christian Science followers believe in the power of prayer, rather than medical treatment.
"The family says Val would never confess to pain because it was an admission that prayer didn't work, but when he started coughing up blood Monday his options ran out," the website said."
Ironic, considering he played the lead character in Real Genius.
This is sad for deeper reasons than you might think.
The spiritual healing that works naturally doesn't reject science or medicine
but works with both.
This is not only against reason science and natural laws to reject medical help,
but is against even the religious spiritual healing that works with all resources.
So it is wrong on BOTH counts. Sad that this hasn't been corrected yet,
when so many people have discovered the true practice of spiritual healing
that is natural and consistent with science and medicine.
What a waste and shame. When spiritual healing is proven to work with science, there won't be this phobic rejection that makes no sense in either realm. very sad.
