Carol; I just thought of another test that had been done.

In this double blind test, a hospital in California that did a lot of heart surgeries was approached to have a test on the power of intention or prayer.

the test was that half of the heart patients names were given to the people who would pray for them, and the recepients were NOT aware that they were being prayed for.

During the test the people that were prayed for had a lot less complications, and needs less medication.

I read of this in one of Larry Dossey's books (an academic, and medical doctor). If memory serves it was in the book "The Power Of Prayer" if memory serves. In the book; he released the data from the test including the name of the hospital, and other details.
