No. Hard to explain by nature — and strongly documented. The strongest natural alternative considered is misdiagnosis & the overstated prognosis, but it does not fully account for the case.

What is the evidence for Antonietta Raco?

Miracles Jar weighs 5 sources for this case. Points that support the claim: PLS is a slowly progressive neurodegenerative disorder with no documented pathway to spontaneous complete remission; the 2020 international consensus criteria describe a monotonic course, and Raco's records were re-checked against those criteria in 2024; CMIL vote: 17 of 21 international medical experts found cure 'unexplained, complete, and lasting' — met two-thirds majority threshold; and 16-year investigation (2009-2025) is the most thorough modern Lourdes review timeline. Points that cut against it: PLS is a diagnosis of exclusion; mimics such as primary progressive MS, hereditary spastic paraparesis, and structural or inflammatory cord disease can present as a pure upper-motor-neuron syndrome and some carry fluctuating or treatable courses; and No independent peer-reviewed medical publication on the case exists as of mid-2026; the medical record is carried by the Lourdes Bureau and CMIL process and the diocesan proclamation.
