Bernard of Clairvaux cured hundreds of the blind, deaf, and paralysed during the twelfth century simply by making the sign of the cross over the affected body part. Olcott in Ceylon, eight centuries later, cured dozens of cases of scorpion bite and even snake bite by making the sign of the pentagram over the part. Does this not show that the healing power lay in the healer himself, even more than in his method?
