Weeks
of strange experiments began in which both the "magician" and
the experimentalist himself were
the subjects.
Kirvorotov put his hand quite close
to Kirlian' s head and literally
poured hot lead over him.
However, he didn’t say anything and didn’t look
into his eyes.
This means there cannot even be any talk of hypnosis.
The
heavy sensation did not leave Kirlian all night,
and it was
as
if his head
was on fire.
He was trying to think of where the energy could have come from;
after all, Kirvorotov was not some kind
of "living generator" and even the
guest himself acknowledged
that while "giving off energy" he did not feel
fatigue.
The next day Kirlian photographed fingers--his own and that of the
"magician"— in the high-frequency field.
One could clearly see how the lu-
minescence bent around the "biological object" separately.
There was no
doubt:
both fingers were charged with electricity of
the same sign.
But
what makes the touch of Kirvorotov cause the sensation of heat?
This
is just
the point—sensation.
In transmitting heat one expends energy;
after
all,
sensation can be produced almost without energy by transmitting simply in-
formation.
And what do the experiments say?
Kirlian checked
the dielectric properties of
the skin on Kirvorotov'
s
hands.
This
is the point:
the resistance was
to
time higher than the
usual value!
Of
course,
the dry rough skin of
the hands
of
a person occupied
with heavy physical labor may have such properties, but after all
the palms
of
the Tbilisi "magician" were pink,
soft,
just like a baby's.
It
is
of in-
terest as
to how the guest
is "charged" while being locked up in the bathroom
before each seance?

The experimentalist photographed
the fingers
of Kirvorotov before
his preparation in the bathroom and afterwards.
On the first photograph
there was
the conventional distribution of
the
potentials of
a
healthy person, while on the second many "potential
" had vanished,
as
if
the electrical conductivity had been lost.
The pattern of
the
protu-
berances" had likewise changed radically:
a gold flame bubbled madly against
a black background,
as
if
it were breaking through an invisible barrier.
The
experimentalist assumed that in preparing for the procedure Kirvorotov rubbed
his hands with some substance, probably ozocerite,
in order
to increase the
dielectric resistance
of
the skin.
"The mechanism by which the healing procedure of the "magician"
op-
erates a-pears
to us
to be the following,"
S. Kirlian~"the body of any person
situated in the earth's electrostatic field
is charged negatively.
Since the
skin of
the fingers and palm
of' the "magician" was,
as
it were,
covered with
a mutual dielectric glove,
a potential
of any sign may be induced on it.
During the procedure, while "healing" hands are placed on the head
or body of
the patient,
the electrical charges of
the patient's body excite
(polarize)
positive charges that are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign on the
glove
An electric field
is formed between the skin on Kirvorotov' s hands and
the skin
of
the patient;
this field has an intensity which increases as
the spacing de-
creases.
The electrons and
ions situated in the air gap tend
to move toward
the photoelectrodes:"
the positive ones move toward
the skin of
the patient
Kirlian while the negative ones move toward Kirvorotov’ s hands.
The ion flux
"blows past"
(and at the same time "heats")
the sick organ and stimulates
its
recovery.
In a word,
the same thing occurs
as in the ionic "scharcot shower,

.
.
This
is what may be assumed
for
the time being.
Much is still un-
understood.
It
is
far from clear as
to whether or not the dielectric plays
such an important role in the healing procedure of
the "magician.”
After all,
the "healer", regardless
of
the apparent "complete exposure," steadfastly in-
sists on the "purity"
of his seances.
Kirlian repeatedly attempted
to repeat
the "focus"
of Kirvorotov,
but,
alas, unsuccessfully.
The action of one person
on another at a distance via a field
so far remains a puzzling phenomenon of
nature.
Recently Professor of Leningrad University,
P. Pulyauv demonstrated
that our body generates and,
possibly, perceives an electric field
(see TM,
No.
12,
1968).
and concerning the fact that a person senses an electromagnetic
field and an ordinary magnetic field has been known for a long time.
The ques
tion arises;
Does not the "magician" change the information processes
in the
organism of
the patient
(who feels "heat")
through the "ether"?
In order
to
answer this and other such questions,
further investigations that are carried
out at
a higher
level are required.

ON THE WAY TO SOLVING A PUZZLE
To make a judgment concerning the internal processes
in an organism
solely according
to NRF photograph is the same as conceiving the exterior of
a person from his X-ray.
It
is quite possible that the mechanism of "healing
is completely different.
In June of
last year
I met A. Krivoroltov.
At my
request he demonstrated his effect on me.
Actually, when the "magician"
slowly moved his hands along my body a sensation of heat developed correspond-
ing to
a temperature of
to 50°C.
But this
is the catch— the "burning" was
felt even when the "healing" hands were located comparatively far from me at
a distance of
.5
to
cm.
It is clear that in such a situation there cannot
even be any discussion of ion bombardment
(which operates only for micron gaps)
.
It remains
for us
to draw an uncomfortable conclusion:
the procedure of heal-
ing by "laying on of hands"
is considerably more complicated than would appear
at first glance.
Recently in the Japanese Journal "Radio, Television and Electronics
November
(1966)
a letter from a Dr. Uchida appeared;
he was an electronics
engineer by profession and he described his investigation of
a Mrs. Yamada who
can "heal" with her hands at a distance.
The scientists measured the electrical
resistance between points
of
the skin which had an increased conductivity.
These
points concided with the acupuncture points
(in European countries
they are
called acupuncture points,
in Japan they are called tsubo)
.

A study
of
the electrical characteristics
of
these points has been
begun recently, but acupuncture therapy
is an efficient healing method and has
existed in China for several thousand years.
In 1963 the Bulletin of
the Academy of Medical Sciences
of
the Korean
Peoples'
Democratic Republic published
a paper "On the Kenrak System.
A
scientific-research team headed by Professor Kim Bon Han discovered a previ-
ously unknown substance called "kenrak"
in the human organism—a unified anato-
mohistological system distinguished both from the nervous system and from the
blood and lymph vessels
(see "TM" No.
54,
1965).
Using a luminescent microscope,
a successful investigation was made of
the microstructure of
the "kenrak" system
consisting
of so-called Von Han
(named after
the scientist)
corpuscles and the
Von Han tubes which link them.
It
is specifically the "kenrak"
system,
accord-
ing to the data of Korean scientists, which is what connects
the acupuncture
points
to the internal organs.
This
is the first point .
The second point .
Japanese scientists measured
the electrical resis-
tance.
