[sci.misc] cancer

Do you believe than persons can be healed or helped with other than just medical means?  There is evidence that a combination of medical, theological, and pyschological means are very helpful.
Maybe someone out there has been helped or healed with a wholistic approach. 
What input would you like to give?

I read once, a few years ago, about how Dirk Benedict (of "Battlestar
Galactica" and "The A-Team" fame (!)) beat cancer with a holistic approach
back in the seventies.  Nothing theological involved, I believe, but a lot of
macrobiotics and mind over matter...

For the life of me I can't remember where or when I saw the article.  I would
guess I was sitting in a doctor's office or on a toilet reading "People"
magazine.  But I remember I found it interesting, if only for the born-again
belief in his holistic cure that Benedict successfully conveys.  I'm sure the
article can be found through a good library's periodical index.
