The case of Marion Carroll

Hi

I would like to know a opinion on this quasi miracle cure of Marion Carroll. I found this and I have a problem to explain it. She was according to the sources diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and her health improved after a pilgrimage:

Quote:

She was falling a lot. Doctors thought she had a slipped disk or a stroke. Finally, six years into her marriage came the devastating diagnosis: multiple sclerosis. By 1989, she was completely paralysed, except for a little power in her left hand; blind in one eye and rapidly losing sight in the other; incontinent and finding it hard to swallow or talk.

After the pilgrimage she was quasi cured:

Quote:

Travelling to the pilgrimage in September 1989, Marion was very ill with a kidney infection and people thought she had not long to live. Strapped into a stretcher, Marion was placed before the statue of Our Lady at the front of the basilica in Knock. After Bishop Colm O’Reilly gave her holy communion, Marion felt sharp pains in both her heels. When the pain passed, every pain in her body disappeared.

The only sceptical information I found was this:

Quote:

A consultant neurologist who reviewed the file wrote to Dr Murray that "it would be fair to say she has been cured of neurological symptoms but not of MS. It seems to me that Mrs Carroll had medically unexplained symptoms which have now (thankfully) resolved."

If someone knows any kind of rational explanation to this case I would welcome it. I personally do not believe this story because millions of people did this in the past and they did not get cured.
