Spontaneous remission

From Free net encyclopedia

Spontaneous remission is a catch-all expression by the medical faculty for any healing with no obvious conventional explanation. Cases of spontaneous remission are a good example of statistical outliers due to the large numbers of individuals alive and the corresponding incidences of disease.

Traditional medical practice ascribes the effect to rationally explainable influences that simply lack observation. Advocates of faith healing and alternative medicine contend that the expression is a convenient means for dismissing alternative sources of efficacy.de:Spontanheilung
