As far as I know, wishful thinking does not constitute faith, though I can completely sympathise with the concept of "I wish there was a big friendly all-powerful person on my side to Make Everything All Right".

FWIW, I've found that what is often (and misleadingly in my opinion) referred to as "spiritual healing" does work for me, and I'll be trying it in your and her direction tomorrow - though my attention may be a little split, as far too many of my remote friends seem to be having medical crises on the same day :(
