I've seen similar questions asked with no real answer. It would seem that if faith is great enough, it can do anything. Which includes healing the sick. Yet, many christians are quick to visit the hospital when they're sick.Do people actually believe in this? And if so..should we start taking hospitals down and start the production of more churches??

That shows a lack of faith in their deity.
Faith Healing can work, and as mentioned previously this is due to the placebo effect.
The one thing nobody ever mentions is why the placebo effect works. The placebo effect is simply "tricking" the brain into using some of its advanced abilities to heal the body. There are many abilities that people have and don't knowingly ever use. Advanced healing is just one of those abilities often refered to as "miracles" by the religious community. Note: Although the placebo effect can work, there is the equal and opposite anti-placebo effect that can work as well.
Should hospitals be taken down, the answer is no as the placebo effect (or faith healing) is far from dependable and subject to the effects of the anti-placebo effect.
Agree with the above.
Also, it would be fairly ridiculous to expect it to heal everything. There are some things that only modern medicine can assist with for the most part, as much as I detest modern medicine.
What can Faith heal?? I don't understand this religious biology. Never atteneded one of those classes
