Woman claims cancer cured by prayer

  ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI-FOX2Now.com) - Was a cancer recovery a miracle? The St. Louis Catholic Archdiocese thinks so. They say a St. Louis woman's cancer has vanished because of her prayers to a priest who's now on the verge of becoming a saint. They've asked the Vatican to certify her case miracle.
  
  There are some things medical science can't explain. Rachel Lozano's cure is one of them. Rachel Lozano was first diagnosed with a rare form of cancer when she was fifteen. By the year 2000 it looked hopeless. On a church trip that year to the Vatican for a ceremony honoring Father William Chaminade. she prayed that Father William Chaminade to heal her.
  
  Her prayers continued. So did the cancer. Finally, she was given weeks to live. When surgeons operated they found a dead tumor. Six years later Lozano remains cancer-free. After an investigation the St. Louis Archdiocese concluded it was the prayers and Chaminnade that cured the cancer. If the Vatican agrees chances are good that Chaminade, a French priest and founder of the Marianist order could become a saint.

  I don't think prayer healed her she did believe that she would get healed if she prayed so in my opinion I think what ever healed her had to be the power of thought and not prayer

  Mind over matter? I definitely believe in that.
  
  Crazy that her cancer got healed though.
  
  Props to her!

  I am certainly glad that her cancer got cured but I'm 100% sure that prayer had nothing to do with it. :P

  Science doesn't explain everything. :P It's not surprising either.
  
  There are many things about the human brain that we still don't understand. Google it. It's really interesting.

  Well, a lot of people have tried praying to cure diseases, obviously.
  And even more obviously, not all of their prayers work.
  If you ask me it might just be things that science still can't explain or, really, sheer luck.

  False diagnosis.

  I'm not saying it could be the prayer or the human mind. I'm asking how would it be possible, false diagnostics aside?
  
  Luck is luck, but if science can't explain it, it doesn't disprove anything else. Whether this plane of the universe runs on science or some will of an entity or entities, I want to point out that Side A can't disprove Side B if Side A can't explain/prove its own side, no matter how probable it seems.

  Thing is, at this point of time, Side A at this point of time is incapable of denying Side B's many theories. The only way for Side A to ever win is to scientifically explain all of Side B's theories. But until then, Side B is going to win as long as there is a theory that hasn't been explained by Side A.
  
  I'd continue, but it'd probably start a flame war. In other news, these kind of things has happened before. like asthma being cured by praying as well.

  lolololol I'm sorry, where did she go to school?
• Chiri wrote on 2010-07-20 22:35
  The thing to point out is that her remission happened after chemo and surgery. idk about what kind of cancer she had, but there are many other cancer survivors.
