Murphy, you're probably thinking of the first study that Fosco and I were talking about where the patients studied prayed on their own. That one did have a strong correlation between prayer and healing, but like I mentioned, the religion of the patient did not affect the result (meaning that Christians got no more benefit from prayer than Buddhists got from meditation or anyone else got from their prayers.) I had read an article on the study that Fosco just posted, but the article I remember did not mention a negative correlation, rather it mentioned no correlation at all meaning that it should not have mattered at all whether a congregation in Texas was praying for the recovery of a patient that was unaware of that congregation's efforts. The negative result is rather surprising, unless perhaps the patients who knew about it were uncomfortable with the idea of a bunch of strangers praying over their gall bladders.
