For the cure to be considered miraculous, the disease must be serious and impossible (or at least very difficult) to cure by human means and not be in a stage at which it is liable to disappear shortly by itself. No medical treatment must have been given, or it must be certain that the treatment given has no reference to the cure.
Para sa mga lunas upang maisaalang-alang mapaghimala, ang sakit ay dapat na malubhang at imposible (o hindi bababa sa mahirap) upang gamutin sa pamamagitan ng tao ay nangangahulugan at hindi sa isang yugto kung saan ito ay mananagot upang mawala sa ilang sandali sa pamamagitan ng mismo.
