Paper on testing him at a teaching hospital: Feasibility of Energy Medicine in a Community Teaching Hospital: An Exploratory Case Series, at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4485888/.
Results: Twenty-four of 32 patients requested relief from pain. Of 50 reports of pain, 5 (10%) showed no improvement; 4 (8%), slight improvement; 3 (6%), moderate improvement; and 38 (76%), marked improvement. Twenty-one patients had issues other than pain. Of 29 non–pain-related problems, 3 (10%) showed no, 2 (7%) showed slight, 1 (4%) showed moderate, and 23 (79%) showed marked improvement. Changes during EM sessions were usually immediate.
Conclusions: Most patients experienced marked, immediate improvement of symptoms associated with their chief complaint. Substantial practicality issues must be addressed to implement EM clinically in a hospital, however.
There is a new TV show on Goldsmith, in which he demonstrates his abilities on various patients, primarily where the basic problem is pain caused by various serious medical conditions, such as severe psoriatic arthritis as an example. Over the years he has been evaluated by numerous medical doctors, who acknowledge his abilities but have no idea how he is doing it. There seems to be no way to explain medically and scientifically what the mechanism is. The dramatic and lasting results go way beyond any possible effects of suggestion or placebo effect. The hundreds of patients don't care - it works for them. He receives no money for his services.
It remains the materialists' problem how to claim he is a fraud.
There are 50 healers within 30 minutes distance. Go talk to your "healers" and you will find the common thread is that the successful cases have patients/clients who believe that the "healer" can heal. See bolded above.
He cannot.
But they believe and beliefs create physical reality. The "healer" creates an environment and the vibratory resonance between the "healer" and the healed allows the patient/client to heal themselves. "You cannot be what you are not first the vibration of" and traditional medicine and materialistic science do not have consciousness (aligned with the fact that physical reality is dream, a co-creation of consciousness) in their vocabulary much less in their fundamental basis of knowledge.
Pain is nothing more than an individual's resistance to being their complete selves. The more we resist experience/the moment/Life, the more we resist our self, the more we feel our self. Pain is one of the most demanding experiences we can have. It simply does not let itself be ignored. Pain is not only a biological alarm signaling that something is wrong but also a spiritual one, if we're indeed to separate spirit and biology. The healing power of pain, and probably the reason why natural recovery of injury (in jury = in judgement = in resistance) is usually accompanied by a lot of pain, is the power to demand us to feel our self, and once having us reach a point of surrender, openness, acceptance, allowance and keen awareness in the moment, pain ceases.
Because we are now "feeling good" again.
