It can be argued that, ultimately, the body does heal itself, but the presence of a natural healer can help as a catalyst to precipitate the healing.
Many doctors do actually have a vocation to heal and do have natural healing gifts. They are not all unsympathetic ogres, intent on pumping drugs into their patients. In fact the last few times I and my wife have been to the doctor's, they have shied away from prescribing any medication.
I have witnessed on two occasions (when my daughter was seriously ill and when my wife was having problems giving birth - both with associated high blood pressure), the appearance of a doctor had a strange calming effect on the situation and helped bring down their blood pressure, even though they were barely conscious at the time.
