A PS on faith, I wouldn't call it faith, but I think your own personal confidence in the treatment working goes a long way to helping your body get well, using your mind to work together with your body. But I wouldn't rely solely on that.

In the Bible it says to anoint people with oil and pray over them. But that wasn's olive oil or salad oil, or some substitute like coffee, it was usually expensive and pure essential oils that are highly regarded for their healing abilities, like myrrh or frankincense.
