I grew up (and still relate closely to) people who do literally believe in miraculous healing and don't particularly associate it with 'extreme' so much as 'actual' or 'vaguely coherent'. When I think of extremes I think of people believing others are Not Good Persons and not having an acceptable relationship with the culture based on professions of belief. Fortunately the theists I expose myself to don't tend to be the bad kind.
