New Site Combines Spiritual and Medical Guidance

Monday, September 29, 2008

By: Sylvia Booth Hubbard

Doctors and patients looking to augment traditional medical care with a dose of spiritual healing can turn to a new Web-based resource that offers a mix of advice, references and even actual prayers.

The site’s founders say the site offers much needed support, especially in a place as spiritual as the U.S. According to a recent Gallup Poll, 94 percent of Americans believe in a higher power. When Americans become ill, 75 percent want their doctor to include spiritual aspects into their medical treatment. And nearly half want their doctors to pray, not just for them, but with them. Some 43 percent of doctors admit they pray for their patients privately.

Spirit-Health Connections provides:

# Links to recently published articles on health and spirituality.

# Prayers of support for health providers of all faiths, including Christian prayers from several denominations appropriate in the death of a child, and Buddhist prayers for the sick.

# “Ask an Expert” section which allows readers to email questions on spirituality and health that will be answered by experts.

# A calendar of events lists lectures and conferences across the nation along with contact information.

# Links to centers and universities worldwide that study health and religion

# Excerpts from books for medical professionals, spiritual advisors, and researchers that explore spirituality and health.

# A media section which features video and audio files that can be downloaded free of charge.

Although some scientists say there is no rational explanation for how prayer works, others counter with the fact that aspirin was used effectively for hundreds of years before science figured out how it works. .
