have you ever experienced healing from prayer or a healer?

I'm desperate as I am having nausea and can barely eat anything and the doctors can't figure out what is wrong.

When I was a little kid, I was visiting my mother's native country and I became sick with flu like symptoms. My mom told me that a witch had put a curse on me and took me to some friends of hers. They did some kind of prayer ritual for me, and as far as I can recall I got better after.
Not saying I believe in it or not, but it is what it is.

Well you have ~30% chance that anything will work for you if administered correctly (with appropriate procedures, this is the key), even pure sugar or so called healer. Placebo, it works even when you know its just a sugar pill, but less effectively, around ~15% chance. It can really work, if not today then maybe tomorrow, it doesn't really matter, because chances are more or less constant, so you can try again whenever. Strange, but true, there are some papers on this phenomenon, but I'm too lazy to search for them right now.
