Rheder, a German physician, proved that it is mind and not God that
cures diseases. He tested a faith healer to cure three of his difficult
cases, one suffering from chronic bladder disease, another from
pancreatitis, and a third from cancer of the uterus. Rheder asked the
faith healer to treat these patients without their knowledge. He
supplied the faith healer with information he wanted about the
patients. The faith healer held twelve sessions without bringing about
any change in the absentee patients' conditions. Rheder then informed
the patients that he was going to enlist the aid of a faith healer who
would be able to heal them. But this time he did not use any faith
healer. Within a few days, all three patients got better. The gall-
bladder patient had no more pain and remained without pain during the
next year. The pancreatitis patient left the hospital and gained 30
pounds. The cancer patient experienced a decrease in the swelling and
fluid in the abdomen. Within five days, she was able to return home
from hospital. Thus Rheder provided evidence that it was the faith of
the people that cured and not the power of the healer....
