GOOD QUESTION LET ME KNOW

I start looking for the evidence I need. If there aren't any then I don't believe. But most important is to always keep an open mind otherwise you wouldn't believe anything, not even the obvious. I dont think you can.


seek the truth through prayer and supplication.


Why would you want to? Do you already know what the answer is? Then maybe you already believe.

Why are you asking this question in the field of the alternative medicine and what is the meaning that you attribute to the words "you don't want"?
You mean that you disagree or you haven't the necessary knowledge to convince yourself that you follow the right direction, the right treatment?
If you are trying to look for evidence in this field, then you should focus both to the scientific proof and philosophy. This is a very big issue to analyse here. What you can do, is to say your health care provider to introduce you in the scientific issue that you need (consider trustworthy of the source).
Get all this information, read it and if you can't accept it after all this, don't abuse yourself. Ask your doctor to change the practice.
This way Henry's Ford said "If you believe you can do a thing or not, you are usually right", can be true also in this case.
All I can do here, is to give you a site of the national center for complementary and alternative medicine of the US that you can explore. This is not the only one of course, but it is a site easy enough to explore, it is trustworthy, and contains information for all the available alternative therapies worldwide.
