Can prayer
help heal what doctors and drugs alone
can't?
The Faith Factor: Proof of the
Healing Power of Prayer
Dr. Dale Matthews, armed with the best
clinical and scientific data, confirms
what many patients have long suspected but
many doctors don't acknowledge: faith and
religious practice can be valuable
medicine. In this comprehensive book, Dr.
Matthews, a leader in the field, seeks to
revive the ancient connection between
science and religion, restoring them to
their original roles as the twin
traditions of healing. The neglect of
religious values and practices in medical
settings has serious implications - not
only for doctors, patients, and national
health policy, but also in the treatment
of hypertension, drug abuse, depression,
cancer, heart disease, and more. Solidly
grounded in the latest scientific
evidence, The Faith Factor is filled with
remarkable case histories from Dr.
Matthews's own practice, where he
prescribes both faith and medicine, prayer
and Prozac.
