Miracle Cures - Delusion or Quantum Mechanics?

I'm watching this show "Miracles Cures" on the National Geographic channel, and at first glance I can't help but wonder if these people are getting deluded and scammed. But on the other hand, the basics of quantum mechanics is that all of reality is composed of energy and intention. Perhaps in these areas of healing around the world, the intention is so focused that those participating are truly choosing a different reality.

Quantum mechanics is generally regarded as the physical theory that is our best candidate for a fundamental and universal description of the physical world. The conceptual framework employed by this theory differs drastically from that of classical physics. Indeed, the transition from classical to quantum physics marks a genuine revolution in our understanding of the physical world. 1

From Wikipedia:
Broadly speaking, quantum mechanics incorporates four classes of phenomena that classical physics cannot account for: (i) the quantization (discretization) of certain physical quantities, (ii) wave-particle duality, (iii) the uncertainty principle, and (iv) quantum entanglement. Each of these phenomena will be described in greater detail in subsequent sections.

So if particles can be simulatenously in more than one physical space, and if they are entangled with each other, and if thought/perception influences their physical space (similiar to what has been documented in the Water studies) than perhaps miracles cures are not so far fetched? Or is it all a placibo affect?

I am fascinated with people who completely suspend their critical thinking capacities so that they can be 100% engaged with faith healing. The power of persuasion which is embodied by faith healers is awe inspiring.
