I am not against prayer, especially if they are on behalf of others, but if
we were
miraculous "cured" of CP tomorrow, we would then need thousands of dollars
for the
psychotherapy needed to adjust to our "cure". The sounds illogicalat first,
but if one looks at the literature on say, facial disfigurement, where
miraculous plastic surgery was done; what follows soon after is a very deep
depressive state! The individual has blame his/her problems(unconsciously
usually) on their disfigurement. Once it is removed and the same problems
arise, the person is at a loss.
Prayer to connect with an outside source is super for many people, but
it
is wise
to heed the saying, "Be very careful for what you pray for-- you just may
get
it."

Kathy, I know that you're smart and I feel if you would like to have a cure
some day, you should start looking into what could be done and get grants
and money yourself to begin something. I don't see anything stopping us
from doing something like that because its how everything we have today got
started actually. >>
