Both/And: Faith with Pharmacy
Date: 09/17/2009
It's not either or, this or that, prayer or medicine, faith or pharmacy. God heals, and he often uses the wisdom he's given medical experts to aid the body's natural restoration processes.

Excerpt: Factory farming and long-distance live animal transport apparently led to the emergence of the ancestors of the current swine flu threat.
