in one of the episodes of this show on Netflix with Zac Efron, they visit the "Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes" in France.
in 1858 a young girl supposedly had a "vision" that told her to dig to uncover a spring and bathe in the water. she did so and the townspeople thought she was crazy, but soon enough, water began to flow.
since then, people with ailments from all over the world have been visiting this place and bathing in the water, etc.
there is a group of independent doctors (like a hundred of them or something) that accept claims of miraculous healing for scientific and medical review. there are seven criteria this group uses to confirm whether or not the ailment was miraculously healed: https://pastebin.com/eJGQXqhK
since then, 7,400 claims of miraculous healings of visitor's ailments have been submitted to the group of independent doctors for review. 70 of those have been confirmed by the doctors as miraculous healing (either by "God" or some other means that they cannot explain).
one such example, was a man with some kind of cancer that completely eroded the articulation of one of his legs where it connects to the hip (something like that, i'm not an anatomy expert). they have x-rays that show the severe erosion. this man bathed at the site, and when he came out of it, he had a subjective feeling of continuity in his hip/leg. he soon felt completely normal. and x-rays showed a completely new a functioning joint articulation.
it is a known phenomena in medicine that doctors sometimes (rarely) observe spontaneous regression of an ailment/disease with no medical explanation, and this place reflects a concentrated amount of this phenomena.
