Spontaneous remission

Spontaneous remission is a catch-all expression by the medical faculty for any healing with no obvious conventional explanation.

Traditional medical practice ascribes the effect to rationally explainable influences that simply lack observation. Advocates of faith healing and alternative medicine contend that under modern understanding the phenomenon should be easy to study and extremely rare, and that the expression is a convenient means for dismissing alternative sources of efficacy.
