Besides intercessory prayer religion (well most religion) tends to steer clear of medical intervention.
If you were to go to your local vicar and tell him your daughter has throat cancer he would likely point you towards the hospital - but here we have people being advised to stop their medication, stay away from 'mainstream doctors' and deal with their cancer/cerebral palsy/deep vein thrombosis /lung metastases/diabetes (etc etc) by calling a 'visionary' who claims to be able to cure you via a (very expensive) phone call.
This kind of thing is genuinely dangerous, vulnerable people who are in desperate need of help are being hoodwinked into parting with their money while their disease is left untreated.
