That's the Catholic church, my church isn't like that, it's out of the goodness of your heart. I give money to support the church and it's causes, not to go to heaven.

Inaccurate, homez. I'm a Catholic, and I have never been asked for tithes. That's the seperatists who are like that.
Trauma-san:
Well... I got a couple thoughts. There are 2 ways to heal people, which Jesus used.
1. Faith healing. If someone has enough faith, and believes it enough, they will be healed... people have beat cancer with attitude, It's totally possible. The bible teaches this, too. Check this GANGSTA story from Mark, Chapter 5 of the new Testament.
21 ¶ And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him; and he was nigh unto the sea.
22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jai'rus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,
23 and besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.
24 And Jesus went with him.
¶ And much people followed him, and thronged him.
25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
26 and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
27 when she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

So, here, you see that the woman Believed in God, and his son Jesus Christ so, so much, that her faith healed her. She knew Jesus could heal her, so, even though she only touched his garment, and not him, she was healed, through her faith.
2. Priesthood blessings
Man from the day of Adam has been able to heal by the laying on of hands, being Righteous priesthood holders of the Lord's church. The priesthood is physically passed onto a male member of the lord's church by the laying on of hands. The lord acts through his priests to heal whomever seek the priest's blessings. This is how Jesus himself healed people, he was the most Righteous man that ever walked the earth, and his power was strong. He even brought a girl back to life, right? In the continuation of Mark chapter 5, he enters the house, takes the DEAD GIRLS HAND, and says "Arise", and she wakes up like she was asleep, everybody freaked out. The prophet Joseph Smith was visited by Peter, James, and John in 1829, they restored the priesthood to the earth (all the righteous owners had been killed off shortly after Jesus's death). The prophet (and Oliver Cowdry, who was present) was given the Priesthood, and every man who righteously upholds Jesus's church standards since has received the gift.. latter day saints bless each other all the time, There's tons of records of modern-day miracles from these blessings. Broken bones mended, sicknesses banished, etc. etc. A lot of it probably deals with faith, too, however.

Definetly, many people have used no medicine and stayed positive and their cancer has gone... that has nothing to do with the "god" or a religion, but rather the belief in yourself...

Theres another "healing" method, called "rakei" [sp], its a Chineese art and you can heal the person by your "energy" of the soul and body. Something like dat, i can get into detail if anybody cares.
