A study conducted by Dr Hans Jrgen Steinbrck, a GP from Frankfurt/Main,
found that 30 per cent of the visitors to the Grotto Brandholz in Nordenau were "totally healed" and 28 per cent reported "a clear improvement".
Dr Steinbrck conducted his study between September and December 1992 among 42 volunteers, most of whom had chronic diseases (50 per cent suffered from rheumatism, 11 per cent from psychiatric or neurological illnesses). The study was commissioned by Theo Tommes, the owner of the grotto, to investigate scientifically the phenomena of healings. It was carried out on a strictly medical basis by way of a clinical trial.
In most cases the actual visit to the grotto - ie the 'radiation' in the grotto - was claimed to be the cause of the healings. Only 40 per cent had a positive reaction following the drinking of the water alone. However, Dr Steinbrck found that what he called "total treatment" - ie the combination of both the radiation in the grotto and the drinking or applying of the water - brought about the most effective improvements.
