Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / January 2005Belief Relief
Researchers at Oxford University in England have launched an experiment to test whether belief in God is effective in relieving pain. The 2-year study will involve volunteers subjected to various degrees of pain while exposed to images of different religious symbols. Neurological responses will be measured to determine how effective their faith helpled them copy with the pain. > Researchers at Oxford University in England have launched > an experiment to test whether belief in God is effective in [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Neurological responses will be measured to determine how > effective their faith helpled them copy with the pain. uhhhh . . . sounds flawed--- what about blind people and their faith? kate I can't see that looking at pictures is representative of someone's faith.
