The paragraphs I sought out:

> More than 1,800 patients

> The results showed that prayers had no beneficial effect on patients’ recovery 30 days after surgery. Overall, 59% of patients who knew they were being prayed for had complications, compared to 51% of the patients who did not receive prayers. The difference was not considered statistically significant.

It’s also important to note that the scope is intercessory prayer. There’s no contemplative/meditative or other inspirational factor.

We need more studies on prayers from other religions, not just those from the Christian faith.

> We need more studies on prayers from other religions

Given the outcome of the above, it is no surprise we haven't got them.

Exactly what I was hoping to see. Thanks. =)

Sorry you feel that way.
