Did the patients know they were being prayed for? Were the patients being prayed for by close family and friends, or a random group of people to which they had no association? I think these are all important questions. If no one prayed for an individual in the non-prayer group because s/he was an atheist with atheist friends, perhaps they felt more stressed as their condition was out of their hands and up to chance and medicine alone. The stress thus causing a negative health impact.
