Well, now, this is a little peculiar. There's a lot of evidence that the mind can heal the body -- witness (amongst the most widely accepted) the "placebo effect". If they'd polled only MDs the percentage of positive responses at this end of the scale would probably have been far greater than "a slight majority".
