Did Kashpirovsky successfully heal people through psychic healing?

Question

Anatoly Kashpirovsky (Russian Wikipedia, English Wikipedia) was a super-famous Russian celebrity, who, in the late '80s, went on Soviet TV and claimed he psychically healed people, and provided pain-relief psycically during surgery over a teleconference.

The Russian Wikipedia article linked has several specific claims over his healing results.

Did any reliable scientific investigation confirm any of the effects of his claimed healing?

Answer 1

Kashpirovsky made many patients feel better, but there's only one documented proof of the effectiveness of his hypnosis, but the numerous statements of the grateful followers. The only scientific evidence of the "power" of Kashpirovsky is the TV bridge, where Georgy Ioseliani, a famous surgeon, risking his scientific career (being skeptical about the abilities of Kashpirovsky) has held a surgery of the stomach tumor without anesthesia (due to the contraindications) via a TV bridge with Kashpirovsky, who claimed to provide anesthetic effect to the patient through talking to the patient (hypnosis) during the whole surgery for three hours. The patient is conscious and seems to not experience any discomfort

Academician Georgi Ioseliani: "I had to face the fact: Kashpirovskiy will inhibit the pain syndrome of two patients via the TV bridge, and I will have to operate one of the patients. The patients were very allergic to all medications, and Lesia had gone through clinical death after the orevious operation. Of course, we understood the risks if Kashpirovskiy couldn't cope with the patients. Then it would have been the case for the work of the anesthetists, but I don't know, if Lesya would have survived the operation without Kashpirovsky."

In addition, as a part of personal anecdote, I was put in front of TV because of the disturbing big scar on a chin and it healed much quicker, than the doctor expected. It's one of the personal evidences of the healing power of suggestion
