The article entitled “Healing is believing” is about the way in which many people with health problems can reduce their use of medication or their visits to the doctor if they believe in God and are actively involved in meditation. Often an illness is occurs because a person simply believes they are ill and medication works the same way. If a person believes that they are getting better because of pills such as Advil or Tylenol then they probably are but if they think the pills are not helping then they stay sick. Doctors conducted an experiment where they gave patients two pills that differed only in colour, one helped and the other didn’t all because of what the person believed was medication and what wasn’t. Furthermore, it uses the example of the 7-year-old boy who suffered from the agonizing pain of severe congenital migraine headaches. It states that once the boy took up meditation, he learned to relax himself by focusing on a repeated prayer for 10 to 20 minutes twice a day and again briefly every time he felt a headache coming his way, his headaches slowly began to disappear until they completely faded and allowed the boy to go off all of his medications.
