It just seem quite broad to me.

A little more from here:

“Prayer is a custom in which thought is invested, and the intellectual activity involved in it may constitute a protective measure against the disease,” Prof. Rivka Inzelberg, lead researcher from Tel Aviv University said.

It then goes on to say that the samples were skewed because of the outcome of the studies.

But then I’d think that the same would happen if you continue academic studies, read, talk with family, basically, have an active life?

Hardening of the arteries can cause some dementia and possibly Alzheimer.

They don’t always get the Alzheimer’s diagnosis correct. I’ve seen that more often than I can count.

Pancreatic cancer is a killer. There is no survival. The only question is “how much more life do I have” or “what is going to extend my life and/or give me the best quality.”

I think the larger part, even 100% of this, is genetic.

And I 100% believe in the power of prayer because it makes you feel better and feeling better is a key into actually being better.
