I think people believing the spring heals them is what heals them.

Depends on the illness. A mineral spring contains certain minerals/chemicals (?) that the body may need for a certain ailment. Also, the person's beliefs may have a strong enough effect as to have influence over his/her ailment/disease.
There are 'healing springs' in Arkansas that some president (Woodrow Wilson or Roosevelt) went to.

Not at all.....It's a spring just like any other spring.....Now, if someone were smoking some funny stuff, then they may have a vision or two.
Science heals people, sometimes!

If the placebo effect of Lourdes helps people in living their life, then I am happy that it is so.

Of course not. I believe plenty of religious people have and still do fake healings to convince the gullible.

Well, I would need to see for myself before I were 100% convinced. But from what I've heard and read, there is plenty of evidence that it's for real.

I think God can heal people, so can faith.
The Virgin Mary was supposed to have appeared there.
I do not personally know, but many do believe.
Peace!
