Pax, I don't think you'll get flamed here for talking about prayer and health. I was trying to look up those studies recently, even before you posted. I had the impression that praying for your own health was proved to have effects, but that positive effects of praying for others was controversial-- I'd seen claims that the study was flawed. It's so hard to tell with internet research, sometimes all you're reading is hearsay upon hearsay.
Here's a thought... even if miracles can't be repeated in double-blind studies, that doesn't mean they never happen.
