The researcher, Dr. Mihail Lazorik, author of as many as 166 patents and 15 licenses, and who has been researching white blood cells since his student days, decided to examine the effect of prayer on human blood. During the study, which lasted 15 years, he made an extraordinary scientific discovery.
“I grew up in a family of believers, and I never questioned the power of prayer. However, as a scientist, I had to prove it in experiments. It is known that a person feels peace and spiritual strength after prayer. However, what happens on the physical level, especially with our blood? That’s what I wanted to investigate,” says the scientist.
The people who agreed to participate in the experiment were of different genders, education levels, social positions, and professions. They suffered from various diseases: arteriosclerosis, hepatitis B, rheumatism…
Previously, Dr. Mihail would take capillary and venous blood samples and analyze them. Then the one whose blood was previously analyzed would read prayers for 15-20 minutes: “Lord’s Prayer”, “Creed- Symbol of Faith”, “King of Heaven”, Psalm 50, Daily Troparion… After performing the prayer, he would again analyze the venous and capillary blood and define the quantitative, morphological and functional characteristics of the blood cells.
“The blood became different at the cellular level. I remember our first patient who suffered from suppurative inflammation of the hip and osteomyelitis after a serious accident. He also had severe pain in the bones of his face and it bothered him a lot. When I compared his blood count before and after prayer, I determined that the level of one of the indicators of phagocytosis was 6 times lower than before the experiment! This convinced me that we are on the right track” – said Dr. Mihail Lazorik.
All further experiments showed the same: after prayer, the level of infection in the body decreased. Especially when it comes to the acute phase of the disease, changes occur in all indicators, inflammatory processes calm down and gradually disappear.
In each experiment, significant changes in the values of certain parameters of blood cells were read, which indicates that prayer is a key factor that causes a change in the number, morphological and functional properties of blood cells, which is also confirmed on a statistical level.
This is proof that prayer really affects the organism at the cellular and subcellular level. “Prayer is not just words. It produces oscillations of a certain frequency. It has long been proven that prayer changes the structure of water. After all, consecrated Epiphany water is not a myth but a scientific fact.
Man is almost 80% water and prayer changes him at the cellular level even if he recites the prayer within himself. And when he says it out loud, sound vibrations are heard that additionally affect the human body and cause changes in the blood count, reduce inflammation, and have a healing effect,” explains Dr. Mihail Lazorik.
