I wish I could be sure that it did that. It's my intention to support and thereby speed the healing process. But I would like nothing more then being able to really heal people with my thoughts or some gestures. At least I don't have to worry about abusing those abilities . Seen too many people around me that change once they become more powerfull. I have seen it turn many polite people into the worst jackasses you can imagine. Having a power is one thing, being able to wield it is something entirely different. So I wish I could be 100% sure that once I think and act on it that I can fully heal people.
I do believe that sending energy on a distance can be done, but it also depends on the receiver, if the one who receives it wants it and stands open for it. I've seen with direct and distant contact that it helps, supports, heals certain aspects. The entire healing process depends on other factors like support, but also medication, therapy and willpower. I will never claim that it replaces medication, it's one strong approach I respect, I just try to add power to the other aspects I can: encourage the work of the medication, support those who need the support, give energy to those who feel tired and worn out, add (will)power, encourage steps in therapy, etc.

Sorry if I can't give you a straight answer into it, because there really is more about it then just a yes/no answer. :)
