Default If magic was proved to heal any illness would you accept it as a legitimate practice?

For some people of certain religions, this would probably be deemed unacceptable. But I would accept it, as I accept all the help I can get.

defien magic? what some people view as magic, others might view as being the holy spirit, or allah, or "yet to be understood science"

it would probably be accepted, but under a variety of names

I would accept it only as long I knew it would cause no harm in addition to the healing it gave me.

I would, like a flash, because I actually use that (not for myself, unfortunately), but for others.

Reiki is actually 'useful' as a healing method; the idea is that you chanel enery through yoursel onto someone else, but while the energy goes 'through' the healer in the process, it helps the healer........there can't be many forms of healing where the healer profits as well!

Sure! Did not Jesus use 'magic'? Is not faith healing a form of 'magic'? Is a prayer to God and a chant to a God not basically the same thing? Anything that heals and causes no harm, is cool with me.

Magic is something natural, but which is above the understanding capability of human nature and science at that moment in time.

The problem is even if it was proved you will still have people refusing it because they believe it is wong, Look at how some even refuse medical treatment because of their faith. It would be the same thing.
