It is estimated that approximately a dozen children in the United States will die from faith healing cases each year. Typically associated with Christianity, faith healing is based on the belief that certain people or places have the ability to cure and heal illness, disease, or injury. Typically this “healing” is associated with a close connection with a higher power through prayer, divine intervention, or the assistance of an individual who claims to be a healer. It has been scientifically proven in the psychological field that faith brings health benefits. While faith has promised greater well-being to the lives of many individuals, it has yet to be a significant substitute for medications for many people, but many people rely on faith as a means of healing. Over the summer, I heard about a story that seemed very controversial and asked to learn more about the topic. The story covered by almost every NEWS station ridicules the fact that parents lean towards faith healing over medicine when their children do. Typically this situation becomes known when a parent who believes in faith healing takes their practice too far and the children suffer disastrous consequences. An article that demonstrates the importance of change and awareness of faith healing concerns two parents who are found guilty of murder after their second child died of pneumonia because they prayed and sought out people who claimed to have healing powers through Christ. The story begins in Philadelphia and unfortunately this is not the first case of a child dying due to faith healing. The victim, Brandon Schaible, died of bacterial pneumonia, dehydration and group B streptococcal (Lactantium) infection. Parents Herbert and Catherine Schaible said they disagreed with their trials that...... half of the document ...... practices. Although only a small percentage of children die as a result of faith healing practices, it is necessary for awareness to be brought to the public. Belief in a religion has many benefits, but the idea of ​​abandoning medicine is harmful to one's well-being. Precautionary signs of illness in newborns should be treated immediately. Medicine together with faith is the ideal situation in which many lives will be saved. Keeping faith has proven beneficial for many people, but caution must be exercised when treating illnesses with faith healing as the only medicine. Faith healing and medicine used together can produce the highest rates of recovery and overall well-being, reducing stress, relieving pain and anxiety, and increasing the desire to live. When the human body is able to release these stressors, health has a greater rate of recovery.
