You wouldn't have to go far in the US to find that belief. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Science Some adherents are more extreme than others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_handling_in_Christianity I don't think the Snake Strokers are big on doctors either. Benny Hinn has done very well with faith healing although his followers may use doctors. It's not limited to Protestant sects. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupr%C3%A9 The church features a collection of crutches and so forth. I haven't been there in over 50 years so they may have added mobility scooters. We went to Quebec for our honeymoon and Ste. Anne's is one of the local attractions. My wife was not Catholic and found it interesting. There is an outdoor Stations of the Cross, iirc. They also have a replica of the “Scala Santa”. It's a wooden staircase with 28 steps that you climb on your knees while saying the Rosary. Turnabout is fair play. After we separated she joined a church that featured speaking in tongues and spontaneous yells of 'Praise Jesus!' and the like. I was as comfortable as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
