 Tanya Zilberter holds a PhD in
neurophysiology. In health sciences since 1972, Dr. Zilberter authored
hundreds scientific and popular publications on theoretical and applied
problems of the body's control systems including energy flux and
balance, neurobiology of "body awareness" and endogenous
neuroprotection including the regulatory role of endorphins.
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, and the role of brain chemicals in function
control. Some of her findings she applied to the intriguing phenomenon
of reflexo-therapy discribed 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).
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...
