THE
ARTICLE
SURVEYS
OPINIONS
AND
LAYMEN
REGARDING CONTROVERSIAL
METHODS
WHICH
MEDICAL PSYCHOTHERAPIST
A .
KASHPTROVSKIY AND OTHER
PROFESSED
HEALERS HAVE
BEEN
USING.
EXCERPTS ARE PUBLISHED FROM
TELEVISION
INTERVIEWS
£
WHICH WERE GIVEN IN SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR BY
KASHPIROVSKIY;
V.
MEDVEDEV,
CORRESPONDING
MEMBER AND DEPUTY CHIEF
SCIENTIFIC
SECRETARY
OF
THE
USSR
ACADEMY
OF
SCIENCES;
AND
ACADEMICIAN
V.
KAZNACHEYEV,
DIRECTOR
OF THE INSTITUTE OF CLINICAL
AND
EXPERIMENTAL
MEDICINE
OF
AMN
SSSR'S
SIBERIAN
BRANCH.
SOME
INTERVIEWEES
ATTACKED
THE
DECISION
TO
PERMIT
BROADCASTING
OF
KASHPIROVSKIY'S
HYPNOTHERAPY
SESSIONS
OVER
NATIONWIDE
TELEVISION
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.
