The living organism can exist in an optimummanner within a short range of the internalmanner within a short range of the internalenvironment parameters.

The external environment changes theseparameters The organism consistently aims toparameters. The organism consistently aims tocompensate such changes in order to restorethe optimum parameters of the activity This isthe optimum parameters of the activity. This isa homeostasis process.

Th h i i li d d f i fThe homeostasis is realized due to formation ofadaptive reactions which constitute a result of the

f factivity of functional and adaptive systems in thebody.

If there are any dysfunctions of these systems, anyvarious diseases and states are formed andvarious diseases and states are formed andmanifested as different complaints.

The official and alternative (holistic) medicine havedifferent approaches to a disease treatmentprocess.

SCENAR Therapy –SCENAR Therapy –New Medical Technology

R i TRussia, Taganrog, RITM OKB ZAO

The core element of SCENAR technology isThe core element of SCENAR technology is the BODY OF A PATIENT!

SCENAR‐therapy is the first medical technologywhere the treatment process (where when andwhere the treatment process (where, when andhow long to treat) is controlled by the patient’sbody rather than by the operator (specialist)body rather than by the operator (specialist).

Yu.V. Gorfinkel: 

“We must help the body help itself ”We must help the body help itself.

SCENAR‐therapy has evidenced its higheffectiveness in treatment of various diseases andstates throughout its existence.

This technology is applied in various areas of themedicine both in acute states or reanimation and inaggravation of chronic problems.SCENAR‐therapy is used as a basic therapy and an

accompanying therapy, or as combined with any othermethods for the patients’ complex treatment.

Basic factors of high effectiveness of 

SCENAR‐therapy :

‐ availability of pauses (giving time to the nerve fiber tohave rest and to restore)have rest and to restore).

2. Nondestructive effect is achieved due to the shortduration of the impulse (50 100 µs)duration of the impulse (50‐100 µs).3.

h h l h hSCENAR‐therapy is a philosophic concept withits own ideology relating to :

th ld d‐ the world around us,‐ notions of the health and disease,‐ unity and interrelation of organs and systems ofunity and interrelation of organs and systems ofthe organism as a whole.‐ the organism as a component of theenvironment.

Formation of a treatment process underSCENAR‐therapy principles that essentiallySCENAR therapy principles that essentiallyreflect the laws of the World.

Each individual is a part of the World and reflectsits structure in fullits structure in full.

The man constitutes something more than its body.This is a whole and mutually dependent system ofthe body, emotions, the brain and spirit.

The health keeping depends on this unity harmony.

The biocybernetic “BODY – DEVICE” system

• The SCENAR technology incorporates a cyberneticsystem of monitoring of the therapeutic treatmentand optimum adjustment of the signals.

• The system follows the rhythms of the body,operating in harmony with the body as an integralpart of it and providing real‐time adjustment. Thebody of a patient gradually leans how to functionproperly, depending on the situation and the geneticprogram.

• The Specialist’s task in the system «Operator‐ Device– Patient» is to observe the treatment process correct– Patient» is to observe the treatment process, correctthe patient’s current state and control this systemefficiency.y

• The Patient’s function in this system is to observecarefully and actively the dynamics of complains andy y y phealth during the therapy, to performrecommendations given by the specialist and changeits way of life properly.

• The function of SCENAR Device in the system is toi di i f i l f h iindicate informational areas for therapeuticstimulation, to form therapeutic impulses andcorrect them during the stimulation processcorrect them during the stimulation process.

Conclusions:

1. The core of a disease is formed by differentdisorders of homeostasis. Therefore, treatmenth ld b d i dshould be targeted at restoration andnormalization of functions of the adaptationsystems supporting the homeostasissystems supporting the homeostasis.

2. The new medical technology appeared at thej ti f h li ti d ffi i l di i djunction of holistic and official medicine; andthis technology combines the philosophy of aman harmonization as one whole system as aman harmonization as one whole system, as apersonality and modern technical solutions.
