Only when prayer causes the patient to release endorphins which inhibit stress hormones which reduces high blood pressure which is a cause of the blood clot they are experiencing.
Or in other words, hyper placebo with identifiable causes.

I can't disagree with the words here. Putting actual scientific scrutiny to these issues would definitely change the way they're looked at. The implication that blind acceptance of these things is scientific is ridiculous, that would be the exact opposite of science actually.

Here's a totally unrelated but interesting thought just for you ;)
The term for making a new word or phrase up is called a "neologism". I wonder who made that word up. I bet he was a right smart-ass!
