It is claimed Charlie Goldsmith has healed people with powers no one quite understands. That's why he's seeking help from medical researchers and scientists to investigate what has been described as his healing gift". Goldsmith ... doesn't charge fees for his treatment that he can do over the phone, on the internet or in person. He earns a living running [a] communications agency. Goldsmith was the subject of a study at New York's NYU Lutheran Hospital, the results of which recently appeared in [the] international Journal Of Alternative And Complementary Medicine. Over three weeks, Goldsmith treated 50 different patients with a 76 per cent success rate of pain related conditions and 79 per cent of conditions other than pain with "marked improvement" and the results were often immediate. Patient illnesses varied from kidney stones to urinary tract infections and allergies. Goldsmith's intention is to expose his work to multiple scientific studies, which will ultimately include a double blind controlled trial that directly tests outcomes. New York Lutheran Hospital doctor Ramsey Joudeh was involved in the first study and labelled Goldsmith's healing as a "miracle". "At first I thought his gift was something we could do at least to give patients a piece of mind and comfort," [he said] "When I saw Charlie work, it really changed my belief and thoughts on the entire process from maybe something that could augment to something that could in and of itself heal."
