ABSTRACT.
THIS
ARTICLE WAS PUBLISHED IN THE FEBRUARY 6, 1990 ISSUE
OF THE DAILY SNAP.
THE
ARTICLE
SURVEYS
OPINIONS
AND
LAYMEN
REGARDING CONTROVERSIAL
METHODS
WHICH
MEDICAL
PSYCHOTHERAPIST
A.
KASHPIROVSKIY AND OTHER
PROFESSED
HEALERS
HAVE
BEEN
USING.
EXCERPTS
ARE PUBLISHED FROM
TELEVISION
INTERVIEWS
WHICH WERE GIVEN
IN SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR 3'
KASHPIROVSKIY ;
7.
MEDVEDEV,
CORRESPONDING
MEMBER AND DEPUTY CH. E.
SCIENTIFIC
SECRETARY
OF
THE
USSR
ACADEMY
OF
SCIENCES;
ACADEMICIAN
7.
KAZNACHEY BV ,
DIRECTOR
OF THE INSTITUTE OF CLINICAL
AND
EXPERIMENTAL
MEDICINE
OF
AMN
SSSR'S
SIBERIAN
BRANCH.
SOME
INTERVIEWEES
ATTACKED
THE
DECISION
TO
PERMIT
BROADCASTING
WITHOUT
PRELIMINARY EXPERT
EVALUATION
OF CONDITIONS IN WHICH SUCH
THERAPY
IS
ADVISABLE.
CONTACTED
BY
TELEPHONE
IN REGARD TO THIS
MATTER
WERE
FIRST DEPUTY HEALTH MINISTER I. DENISOV, WHO AUTHORIZED
THE
TELECASTS ;
DEPUTY
HEALTH MINISTER V. LEPAKHIN; V. ILIN, DEPUTY
HEAD
OF THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH'S MAIN SCIENTIFIC ADMINISTRATION; AND
A. KARPOV, CHIEF PSYCHIATRY SPECIALIST OF THE MINISTRY.
MEDVEDEV
MENTIONED
THAT
HIS
DEPARTMENT
OF
HUMAN
AND
ANIMAL
PHYSIOLOGY
IS
IN
FAVOR
OF
ORGANIZING
OBJECTIVE
RESEARCH
OF
KASHPIROVSKIY'S
METHODS
BY
ACADEMY
SCIENTISTS,
IF
THE NECESSARY
FUNDS
CAN
BE
OBTAINED
FOR THIS PURPOSE.
POKROVSKIY ESTIMATED THE
COST
OF
SUCH
A
PROJECT
AT
SEVERAL
HUNDRED THOUSAND RUBLES. HE
THOUGHT
THAT
PERSONS
SUFFERING
FROM
NEUROSES
AND
FUNCTIONAL
DISORDERS
MIGHT
BENEFIT
FROM TELEVIZED THERAPY; ON THE OTHER HAND,
TEMPORARY
REMISSION OF
SYMPTOMS
IN
PERSONS SUFFERING FROM GRAVE
ORGANIC
ILLNESSES MIGHT DELAY RENDERING OF NEEDED MEDICAL ASSISTANCE
TO
THESE
PEOPLE.
KASHPIROVSKIY EXPRESSED WILLINGNESS TO SUBMIT HIS
METHODS
TO
FRANK
DISCUSSION
AND
EXPERIMENTAL
TESTING,
PROVIDED
RESULTS
OF
SUCH
INVESTIGATIONS
WERE
PUBLICIZED
FAIRLY
AND
OBJECTIVELY.
HE
THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE BEST TO LEAVE THE TASK OF
INFORMATION GATHERING TO SPECIALISTS, HOWEVER.
KAZNACHEYEV
REPORTED THAT HE AND HIS COLLEAGUES HAD JUST COMPLETED A
SERIES
OF
EXPERIMENTAL
STUDIES OF
EFFECTS WHICH CERTAIN KINDS OF
OPERATORS
( THOSE
WITH
EXTRASENSORY
CAPABILITIES,
FOR
EXAMPLE)

PRODUCE
ON
LIVING
CELLS.
HE
MENTIONED
THAT
JOINT WORK IN THIS
DIRECTION
IS
BEING
DONE
WITH
AMERICAN
SCIENTISTS
OF A RESEARCH
CENTER
IN
MICHIGAN.
ON
THE
BASIS
OF THESE STUDIES, KAZNACHEYEV
CONTENDED
THAT
KASHPIROVSKIY'S PROCEDURES ARE NEITHER PSYCHOTHERAPY
NOR
HYPNOSIS
BUT
INVOLVE A DIFFERENT PHENOMENON AN INFORMATION AND
ENERGY
FLOW
WHICH
IS TRANSMITTED FROM ONE PERSON TO ANOTHER EITHER
DIRECTLY
OR
VIA TELEVISION.
IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT SUCH A FLOW
CAN
PRODUCE
HARMFUL
EFFECTS ON CELLS, REGARDLESS OF THE OPERATOR'S
INTENTIONS.
UNCONTROLLED
USE
OF
THIS
PHENOMENON
IS THEREFORE
DANGEROUS, IN KAZNACHEVEV'S OPINION.
KAZNACHEYEV
THOUGHT THAT
THIS
PROBLEM
COULD
BE
SOLVED
ONLY BY
COMPREHENSIVE
STUDY OF
THE
ESSENCE
OF
LIVING
MATTER
WITH THE
PARTICIPATION
OF SPECIALISTS IN AREAS OTHER THAN MEDICINE.
HOWEVER ,
NO
WORK IN THE FIELD OF BIOPHYSICS (AS DISTINGUISHED FROM PHYSICS OF
LIVING
MATTER )
IS BEING DONE IN THE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES AT PRESENT.
KAZNACHEYEV
THEREFORE SUGGESTED
THAT
THE USSR UNION OF SCIENTIFIC
AND
ENGINEERING
SOCIETIES
ALL
UNION
COMMITTEE ON INTERCHANGE OF
ENERGY
AND
INFORMATION
IN
NATURE
BE ENLISTED IN RESEARCH OF THIS
PROBLEM,
AND
THAT
SPECIALISTS OF AMERICA, JAPAN AND OTHER EUROPEAN
COUNTRIES
TAKE
PART.
IN
IT.
HE
BELIEVED
THAT SUCH
POOLING OF
RESOURCES
WOULD
MAKE
IT POSSIBLE TO OBTAIN RESULTS IN ABOUT A YEAR
AND A HALF.
