The Screen Guide

Can spirituality affect your health? This program looks at the renewed interest in the role of religion in coping with sickness. Recently there has been a spate of scientific studies looking at the effect of prayer and spiritual belief on illness. Most show religious practice improves health, but critics question some of the research and argue it is difficult, if not impossible, to come to definitive conclusions in this area. We talk to seven health professionals from across the spectrum of alternative and mainstream medical practice about their views on fundamental issues of health and illness.
