Voodoo doesn't do healing. Spiritual healing is from the Spirit side of life channelled threw a Spiritual healer.

There are a lot of differences. Voodoo is a religion all to itself. It is a mix of Catholicism and African Paganism.
A Spiritual Healer is a person who helps another with spiritual problems. The "Healer" doesn't heal the person, but helps the person heal themself.

Voodoo has certain rituals and spiritual healers let God's power come through them and do not claim the power for themselves. It is about God's will with spiritual healers and with voodoo it is about controlling powers to make something happen the way you want it to.

as a Christian i will say ppl like benny hinn are healers not voodoo, bc they, most, have the Holy Spirit, who gives them the gift of healing. All the Christians, or believers in the Spirit of God, have gifts, and healing is one of the gifts

i am unsure about voodoo , not enough that i could comment on ...
but for those who believe in it and practise it , then fair play to them ... although i think the practise is Hoodoo
spiritual healing is asking the higher forces ( God if you wish but not always ) ... to work with the healer as a vessel for healing

Voodo relies on black magic, or dark magic to obtain it's results while a spiritual healer is someone that is just that...spiritual. In other words they believe God (or a God) gives them the power to heal someone. Therefore it is considered good magic.

Nothing, neither of them have any effect unless you believe in it. Which does prove one thing, the power of the mind body connection can in fact heal.

Depends on the power they are accessing.
Any one who does not Heal in the Name of Jesus Christ, is using evil Spirits, and not God.
