Do you believe that playing any musical instrument can cure a disease?

I had a peptic ulcer when I was in high school and I did not take the medicine prescribed to me by our family doctor. One day,I had a severe stomach trouble during our recess time. I even cried because it was so painful. I saw my classmate bringing a guitar so I barrowed it and I played one of my favorite songs during that time. After a few minutes the pain was gone. Because of that experience, I played my favorite music using my guitar every time I got a stomach pain because of my ulcer. After a month, I noticed that I had not experienced stomach pain but I still continued to play my guitar. I made it a habit for at least 30 minutes a day. Six months after, I went to my doctor to have some tests regarding my sickness. Do you know what happened? My doctor could not believe the result. I confessed to him that I did not take even one medicine that he prescribed. My only secret, I told him, "Play your own guitar." Then he laughed...

Music soothes the nerves and relieves one of the strain and pain experienced. I have also heard above playing a musical instrument to cure a disease which is also called the music therapy in healing. It is also the mind power- the more we think about our problem or pain it increases and when our concentration is diverted the problem is reduced healing on its own. When you played the guitar you were concentrated on the music and the pain was ignored. This as a daily practice slowly with the help of the diverted mind cured by itself. Medical doctors will not believe this as they rely more on medicines than natural healing. But i believe this.
