Healing of Louise Jamain

The certificate from Laennec Hospital stated: "Pulmonary, intestinal and peritoneal tuberculosis," confirmed clinically and bacteriologically. Her mother and four brothers had died from tuberculosis. She had been in hospital for seven years. Despite advice that she would not return alive, she joined the Pilgrimage of Bernadettes. On the morning of 1 April she said she was perfectly rested and asked for food. At the Parisian hospital there was utter amazement—never again was any lesion or bacteria seen. Six weeks later she found work. The Bishop of Paris officially recognized the cure as miraculous on 14 December 1951.

The Lourdes Medical Bureau gathered documentation; the International Medical Committee (C.M.I.L.) affirmed the cure was inexplicable in the current state of medical knowledge. The Bishop of Paris recognized it on 14 December 1951. Tuberculosis was the leading cause of death before antibiotics. Rapid, complete cure without drugs is medically unexplained.
