Not really. There is (still do) the records of healing diseases by shamans (Native Americans), holy priest(ess) of Buddha, etc etc.
Same as Taylor, I have some Native American blood flows in my vein (my mom's side) so I tend to spend my time on studying Native America history and found many things that Shamans or certain positions can do. One famous Native American state that if we want to able to do many things, all we need to do is work close with environment & nature or pay our respects for these since it is more close to heaven/God than other 'man-made materials' such as churches or cathedrals. AND it is God's creation since he/she/it created it right? Anyway according to that famous Native America, once we did and nature will give us the 'certain powers', I don't know if we can call it 'powers' but for men & women to understand, I have to use that term. So far he is right, he has been healed the cancer patients in the past. How many do you think that conventional doctors has been 'cured' the cancer patients? When conventional doctors do, it is not cure, it is just remission... it will reappear but worse than before. Cancer patients who healed by that Native America did not experience the remission-reappear cases.
That shaman also state that we need to improve our bodies
first before we can improve our spirits, hearts & mentalities. When you think about it, it does make sense... If your body is in poor condition, do you think you are strong enough to deal with spiritual experience? I doubt it.
I heard many people got healed from different kind of conditions (included Aids, cancers, SID, heart diseases, go on and on...) by eating the raw foods (by that, I mean meats too). There is a 'white man' who is researching on foods somehow met one Native American in one of forests and that shaman told 'white man' if he wants to cure his cancer and other diseases, just eat the raw meat & fats. (note: At that time, that white man have 8 different diseases included cancer, he tried many different kind of treatments included chemotherapy, surgeries, etc etc but nothing works. So he decided to study the ancestors' diets & nature. Also he was a vegetarian). At first that 'white man' doubted that shaman's words but he decided to give it a try so he did (ate lot of raw meats, raw fats and etc) and the result is:
his cancer and other diseases healed and disappeared for good without any conventional treatments at that time. One odd part about that, the shaman gave his name when 'white man' asked and 'white man' met one of other Native Americans who lives in Reservation near that area to told them about what happen... Other Native Americans shocked because that certain shaman is dead from old age many years ago. Does it mean that 'white man' met a spirit in that forest? I believe so. There is plenty stories about many people who met different spirits when they become so close to nature & environment. Remember that nature & environment is God's creation, not these fake 'man-made materials' such as chruches & catherdals. Ask yourself why did Jesus went to the wilderness to purify his sins & to fight to drive the devil's temptations out of him, not churches or catherdals? Think about it, you may will come to that conclusion on your own.
That's why I don't believe that Jesus is only one who can do that. Native American shamans did these in the past... the more I research on nature & shamans, the more I understand why 'white' people failed where Native Americans succeed in these areas.
In fact, I expect the doubts & criticizes from certain people around here after this post. That's what I love about these people, they are SO DAMN predictable
Lemme ask you, do you think that kind of pray will work? If pray is actually work, I would love to pray to ask God & Jesus to smite Bush for his lies, war crimes, etc etc... but unfortunately that will not work. Why? That was a selfish pray, that will not work and cannot work that way. You just place your own limits & your own selfish reasons on God. You don't have to believe me, just... research and research, you will come to that conclusion on your own. Just like what I did.
One thing I learned from years of researching, three pattern steps for all of humans. When the truth or fact is exposed:
1) People will refuse to believe or flatly say 'no'.
2) Fight against doubts, deny these truths & facts, dismiss these as 'myth', 'wives' tales', 'rumors', etc etc..
3) They finally realized the truths & facts and accepted.
That's what humans ALWAYS do. That has never failed... according to my personal researches. Note: I plan to write about that in my essay for psychology & human behaviors someday, I am confident that I will get a highest grade from that one.
Good example: Smoking (cigarettes & cigars) In the past, many people refused to believe that smoking is bad for you, they actually believe smoking is good for you. Can you imagine that? in present, they finally gave in and accepted that it is bad for them. That's one of many pattern behavior examples in humans.
