"Even doctors, I found, often used the word "miracle" in describing what happened when a patient suddenly got well after taking a natural remedy. The word "miracle" is defined in dictionaries as "a wonder, a marvel," as well as an act or happening that departs from the laws of nature. Thus, when a person recovers after taking a natural substance, the event is so incongruous with conventional medical expectations that the first words of surprise and overwhelming gratitude are typically: "It’s a miracle cure." We often say the same thing about conventional treatments that amaze us."
