Why Medical Miracles Attract So Much Attention

By Susan Dawson


Since the beginning of time mankind has recorded miraculous events and none of these events are as prolific as medicinal ones. There are numerous stories of desperately ill or injured people that recovered against all hope and expectation. In some cases these healings were affected by humans or animals and in many others it simply cannot be explained. When it comes to medical miracles the jury is still out.

Debates regarding to miraculous cures abound. There are many medical experts that are more than willing to declare publicly that they have given up on a patient, only to see him or her recover in a remarkable manner. In some cases it is impossible to even trace the original disease after the recovery. However, whether such recoveries are indeed miraculous or due to unknown science is still a matter for discussion and research.

It is understandable that people with terminal and serious diseases seek alternative help and solutions. Many of them scour the internet and other sources for advice and information, and in most cases they are apt to stumble across a host of solutions for their problems. In many cases they will have to deal with a load of hogwash, but stories of miraculous cures have a special appeal.

In many cases, sick people turn towards nature, believing natural remedies to be miraculous in itself. They try special diets, they forego certain foods and they even attempt potentially dangerous practices in the belief that their efforts will be rewarded by Mother Nature, the ultimate miracle worker. Sadly, there is no evidence that any of these cures actually works or that drastic dietary changes will bring about a miracle.

It is ironic, or perhaps obvious, that so many people that profess to be in special contact with God or other deities claim to be their exclusive earthly instruments on earth when it comes to curing disease and other ailments. In fact, faith healing has become a huge industry and many people have found, mostly to their detriment, that they have become the victims of a charlatan.

It is surprising to learn just how many ill people turn to alternative healing processes once they learn and accept that they are ill. Many will turn to religion, hoping for a miracle. Others will dedicate their lives to charitable causes, believing that they can gain favor with the deities or the spirits that are in control of the ether. Others promise to change their lives if only they will get better.

There are many cynics that are of the opinion that there is no such thing as miracles. They say that people will try to attribute supernatural intervention to anything that cannot be explained logically or scientifically. Yet many experts in the field of medicine will confirm that they have witnessed recoveries that are totally beyond scientific explanation and that they cannot say just how it happened.

Stories of medical miracles certainly abound and there are many websites that allow people to relate their own personal experiences. Whether there are truly miracles or not is most certainly still an issue for debate. However, those that have experienced bona fide cures will swear that they were recipients of miraculous intervention.
