WITHOUT PRELIMINARY EXPERT EVALUATION OF CONDITIONS IN WHICH r-1
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
KASHPIROVSKIYIS 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 LTVING 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 PSYCHOTHERAP--
ENON AN INFORMATION AND
NOR HYPNOSIS BUT INVOLVE A DIFFERENT PHENOME.
ENERGY FLOW WHICH IS 'TRANSMITTED FROM (ONE P7T-,-3C',m TO ANOTHER EITHER
DIRECTLY OR VIA TELEVISION. HAS 13EEN DZ@-:ERMINED THAT SUCH A FLOW
CAN PRODUCE HARMFUT1 EFFECTS ON -'-'ELLS, REGARDLESS OF THE OPERATOR'S
INTENTIONS. rJNCONTROLL-E-D 'TSE C)IF THIS PHENOMENON IS THEREFORE
DANGEROUS, --;N KAZNACHE7'-V,' _7 0 P I N I C) N .
KAZNACHEYEV THOUGHT THAT THTS PROBLEM "OULD BE SOLVED ONLY BY
ot
COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF THE ESSENCE OF LIVING MATTER, WITH T@;-E-
PARTICIPATION OF SPECIArrSTS IN AREAS OTHER THAN MEDICINE. HOWEVE-
NO WORK IN THE FIELD OF BIOPHYSICS (AS DISTINGUISHED FROM PHYSICS 07
