The effect is astounding: a patient starts seeing only bright colors in the

surrounding world

Russian scientists from the city of Novosibirsk, Siberia, made a sensational

report at the international conference devoted to new methods of treatment

and rehabilitation in narcology. The report was called " Methods of painful

impact to treat addictive behavior. "

Siberian scientists believe that addiction to alcohol and narcotics, as well

as depression, suicidal thoughts and psychosomatic diseases occur when an

individual loses his or her interest in life. The absence of the will to

live is caused with decreasing production of endorphins - the substance,

which is known as the hormone of happiness. If a depressed individual

receives a physical punishment, whipping that is, it will stir up endorphin

receptors, activate the " production of happiness " and eventually remove

depressive feelings.

Russian scientists recommend the following course of the whipping therapy:

30 sessions of 60 whips on the buttocks in every procedure. A group of drug

addicts volunteered to test the new method of treatment: the results can be

described as good and excellent.

Doctor of Biological Sciences, Sergei Speransky, is a very well known figure

in Novosibirsk. The doctor became one of the authors of the shocking

whipping therapy. The professor used the self-flagellation method to cure

his own depression; he also recovered from two heart attacks with the help

of physical tortures too.

" The whipping therapy becomes much more efficient when a patients receives

the punishment from a person of the opposite sex. The effect is astounding:

the patient starts seeing only bright colors in the surrounding world, the

heartache disappears, although it will take a certain time for the buttocks

to heal, of course, " Sergei Speransky told the Izvestia newspaper.

The whipping therapy has not become a new discovery in the history of

medicine. Tibetan monks widely used it for medical purposes too. Soviet

specialists used a special method of torturing therapy at mental hospitals.

They made injections of brimstone and peach oil mixture to inspire mentally

unbalanced patience with a will to live. A patient would suffer from

horrible pain in the body after such an injection, but he or she would

change their attitude to life for the better afterwards.

" People might probably think of me as a masochist, " Dr. Speransky said. " But

I can assure you that I am not a classic masochist at all, " he added.

The revolutionary method may take the Russian healthcare to a whole new

level. The method is cheap and highly efficient, as its authors assure. Why

not using something more efficient, a rack, for example?
