Can prayer turn a brain tumor into a living worm? That’s what this news reporter seems to be claiming in the middle of her report.
The real message is still an interesting one: be careful with washing hands and eating pork, or you could end up with a big worm in your brain. Surprisingly, the surgeon mentions that he’s already removed five of them.
How in the world did Moses know that pork as well as some other kinds of meats were not the healthiest things to be eating?

Just as a guess, Karl, through observation. Just like other cultures learn what foods to eat or not eat.
The transition from tumor to worm, as a result of prayer (from the video: "… the power of prayer; it worked")? Actually, I think this "miracle" is called misdiagnosis. I wonder if this medical mistake had anything to do with the family having canceled their health insurance three weeks prior … are there two standards of care?
Andy: I agree with your diagnosis of misdiagnosis, especially given that there's not a lick of evidence that prayer heals. http://dangerousintersection.org/2007/12/06/this-…
