Only an idiot would say that that's an unproven assertion. Of course I won't say that it is proven. That doesn't make it false. The rest of your post equally demonstrates that you are clueless.

Congratulations on making yourself look quite remarkably idiotic.

To wade in (briefly), I'm with Elok in most Christians don't believe in ONLY prayer for healing. Those that do are considered nutjobs by the vast, vast majority of Christians. Though prayer is done by most Christians for those who are suffering or need healing - they just also believe that God has given us medicine as well (who do those Christian Scientists believe created penicillin?!). Furthermore, until very recently I was super skeptical of religious healing in that I believed in the concept, but through doctors and all that... and then I witnessed what I can only call a miracle (involving the healing of the deafness of someone I have known for 2 years).“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

In 1977, on the 11th day of May, she was admitted to A city hospital because of headache and paresis of right limb. As angiography …

Not supernature, or the supernatural. I don't believe in fairies, goblins, ogres, or magic either.
I like reading ghost stories, but don't believe in an afterlife. When I die, I'll provide a nutritious meal for worms and plants. Or if I choose to be cremated, then my ashes can be used as fertiliser.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.
