This phenomenon, for lack of a better word, may not be outside of the natural world. Just outside our current understanding of the natural world.
In medicine the questions remain the same, but the answers change as our understanding evolves.
Placebos are clinically proven to work even when some people know it is a placebo. Obecalp is sold over the counter overseas. It is placebo spelled backwards.
I'm bothered by the small sample sizes and the methodology isn't described well. I'm not sure what they did and how it was measured.
Skin temperature? Really? The article suggests spiritual healing can occur over distances, but rather than measure healing or aspects of healing they measured skin temperatures. Giant leap from skin temps to spiritual healing. I understand what they are implying, but science requires more than raw data to suggest an implication.
Valid critique and good insights. Thanks.

I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
