| | Alternative Healing System - Faith Healing |
 | | Patients as well as their relatives had complete faith in the competence and skill of the medicine man to cure these diseases by means of his own supernatural counter measures. | | | The art of healing practiced in all the ancient civilizations - Indian, Chinese, Mesopotamian, or Egyptian - in a large measure, was based on the belief that diseases were caused by different supernatural agencies. | | | A large part of this healing touch depends upon the doctor's personality and manner of eliciting the faith of the patient. |

| | The Role of Faith in Healing |
| | Healing comes from the Anglo-Saxon "to make whole." Allopathic medicine, faith healing in different traditions, and alternative or complementary medicine are like three points of a triangle, with the person to be healed in the middle. | | | He uses shamanic techniques in the context of his medical practice, focusing on helping his patients to become whole, even if their disease is not cured. | | | And alternative health practitioners from naturopathic physicians to chiropractors to spiritual counselors tend to fall somewhere in the middle. |

| | The other kind of healing without medicine is through the magnetic force which acts from one body on another and becomes the cause of cure. | | | Of the two kinds of material healing, one is due to the fact that in man both health and sickness are contagious. | | | Question.--Some people heal the sick by spiritual means--that is to say, without medicine. |

| | Paul speaks of "gifts of healing," "the plural pointing;" says Meyer, "to the different kinds of sickness, for the healing of which different gifts were needful." As there are men endowed by nature with the ability to treat special diseases successfully, so there may be specialties in supernatural healing. | | | The sick are often trusting for a cure while steadily approaching the gates of death. | | | Hence, we infer that every sick person is, to a certain extent, an unbeliever and responsible for his own continued sickness. |
