Some would point out that faith healing has not scientifically been proven effective, since its practitioners can only cite anecdotal evidence of cases where it has been successful.

PSYCHIC HEALING

A psychic receives information from Spirit, and in accordance with universal permission, and the permission of the recipient, is able to provide information and guidance to the recipient. There are also occasions where the psychic can also be a catalyst for the stimulation of the innate healing energy within the recipient. The psychic healer is also able to receive information from spirit about the causes of a person's challenges in life, be it physical, emotional or spiritual. Normally, it is the healer's intent to assist the recipients to utilize and maximize their own innate healing potential.

For American Indians and Mexicans it is the curandero or shaman. For Alaskan Eskimos it is an angakok and so forth.
