My friend Lisette was diagnosed with a inoperable brain tumor and given a life sentence of months. It disappeared after prayer
Emily had stage 4 cancer - doctors don't have an explanation why it wasn't there after previous positive diagnosis.
there are others.

Such healings are possible through transfer of prana or chi, and I have witnessed one myself. But I do not consider it miraculous.
Such things are also commonly visible in healing systems like reiki and pranic healing. A relative of mine who practiced reiki was able to tangibly build up heat in my open palm with his palm on top without touching, as a demonstration of his skill in reiki. He used his reiki skills to mitigate his son's asthma issues.
I have seen a claim of spiritual healing of leukemia, and knew the individual involved. The problem of the claim of spiritual healing is that the anecdotal value of the claim is very high and inconsistent in that many if not most do not heal and die of the terminal illness.
Research has shown the percent of successful healings by prayer is the same as spontaneous healings that are known without prayer.

I was able to regain my sanity after my first week on RF. Does that count?

What? Me worry?
Oh, no. That sanity is so easily displaced by any given thread...

Almost 2 years ago I fell and landed with all my weight on my elbow. It popped out of socket, broke in several places, and tore all kinds of ligaments right out.
After being rushed to the hospital, my arm (right arm) was set back into the socket, the pieces of bone were screwed back in, and my ligaments were reattached (all this done in same day surgery, BTW). After a period of healing, and a period of physical therapy, I'm able to use my arm within about 95% of my previous range of motion. Thanks to the skill of the orthopedic surgeon who worked on me, I'm able to do everything I was able to do before.
Modern medicine, and the capability of these hard working specialists, seems pretty miraculous to me.

I know. It's a miracle. Right?

Sometimes doctors don't get thanked enough for the work they do (their life's work, quite literally). I made it a point to thank mine.

No.
Bodies are designed to heal themselves.
Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t.
The only miracle, is the body itself.
