 Tanya Zilberter, PhD, is a researcher, health educator, exercise physiologist, and scientific journalist.
In health sciences since 1972, Dr. Zilberter authored several hundred scientific and popular publications, including four print books and more than a dozen of eBooks.
Tanya participated in interdisciplinary projects providing metanalysis for mathematical and conceptual model of numerous functions of the body including hunger, body weight and body temperature regulation, abd the role of brain chemicals in function control. Many of her findings she applied to the intriguing phenomenon of reflexo-therapy discribed in on this site. That includes the theory of acupuncture and its analogy with neurocomputers, the role of Endorphins in self-diagnosis and self-healing, etc.
In 1995, Dr. Zilberter conducted the pilot study on reflexo-therapy in the Community Holistic Health Center, Carrborough, NC. The results of the study were reported to the International Congress on Integrative Medicine (see the Research in the US chapter)
Dr. Ziberter's current research interests revolve around theoretical and applied problems of general physiology and neurobiology, and nutirion.
Dr. Zilberter currently associates with the Mediterranean Institute of Neurobiology (Inmed) at Marseilles, France, where she is resposnsible for Internet research and development as well as popularization of neurosciences.
Says Tanya Zilberter: "The great success of the "Kuznetsov's Applicator" -- on the Russian market as well as in the medical field -- never ceased to amaze me.
It was the Moscow Institute of Experimental surgery where I first heard about the "Applicator of Kuznetsov". My husband worked for the institute and one day came home very excited about a new method for pre-op treatment of patients resistant to regular medicine, or allergic to it, etc. "Just imagine a rubber mat pierced with needles and a patient has to lie down on it and to stay for an hour or more. They say, it never pierces the skin and hurts for only minute or two, then people get warmed and relaxed, stop sneezing, coughing, and their blood pressure gets normal. In a few days they are ready for their surgeries." The first thing I thought, was: "It's probably because there are so many needles that eventually some of them reach proper acupuncture points." Later I discovered that the inventor’s logic had indeed worked exactly this way..." |
