Hi Alex,

I've got my assistant Igor digging into that for you. See what he comes up with later tonight.

As for prayers, I definitely won't be doing that, and for heaven's sake, if I
should ever fall sick, please don't do it for me.

There have been a couple of big studies, including that 2006 Harvard study.

Found prayer provided no benefit to the recovery of patients who had
undergone cardiac bypass surgery.

In fact, the study found patients who knew prayers were being said for
them had more complications after surgery than those who did not know.

The complications were minor, and doctors surmised that they could have
been caused by the increased stress on patients worried that their
conditions were so bad they needed prayers.

In any case, I have my lucky rabbit's foot here which you are welcome to borrow.

In the meantime, take care and enjoy that view.

Gary
