[PARANORMAL] - Prayer as alternative medicine - Government funded TIME.com: -- Investigating the Power of Prayer discusses Dr. Elizabeth Targ's study on the effect of prayer on illness. If the name "Targ" doesn't ring a bell, her father is Russel Targ. Don't remember Russel Targ? His name pops up when you read about the folks who studied famed Israeli psychic Uri Geller. But are we really spending millions (billions?) on alternative theories as shaky as these? Please tell me it ain't so.
