Scenar ::

What is it?

The SCENAR is a biofeedback technology that is both diagnostic and therapeutic. It is a small hand held device that was originally developed in Russia as part of their space program. The intention was to help keep astronauts healthy during long periods in space. It has been used in Russian medicine for over twenty-five years and available in the West for almost 10 years.

What does it feel like?

As the device is moved over the surface of the skin a comfortable tingling sensation is felt. In cases of severe pain or acute conditions the sensations may be stronger.

How the SCENAR works

The SCENAR uses biofeedback, enabling the body to heal itself. The SCENAR sends out a series of signals through the skin and measures the response. Each signal is only sent out when a change is recorded in the electrical properties of the skin, in response to the previous signal. Visible reactions include reddening of the skin, numbness, stickiness (the SCENAR will have the feeling of being magnetically dragged), a change in the numerical readout and an increase in the electronic "clattering" of the device. The body can get accustomed to a stable pathological state, which may have been caused by injury, disease or toxicity.

The SCENAR initiates the healing process by stimulating the production of regulatory peptides for the body to use where necessary, thereby re-establishing the body's natural physiological state. Neuro and other regulatory peptides are produced by C-fibres, which comprise 85% of all nerves in the body. C-fibres react most readily to SCENAR electro-stimulation and the peptides produced last up to several hours, meaning the healing process will continue long after the treatment is over. The large quantity of neuropeptides and C-fibres in the Central Nervous System can also result in the treatment on one area aiding with other chemical imbalances, correcting sleeplessness, appetite and behavioural problems.

Results form the SCENAR

In Russia, some 600 practitioners currently use the SCENAR as their principal treatment instrument, with over 50,000 reported cases of individual use. A vast wealth of information on the SCENAR is available from research papers, clinical reports and training manuals. The SCENAR can be used on most types of disease or injury: circulatory, sensory, respiratory, neurological, genito-urinary, musculoskeletal, gastro-intestinal, endocrine, immune and psychological disorders. The SCENAR is also credited with vastly reducing recovery times. Russian athletes have been known not only to compete after serious injuries, but even to break world-records post SCENAR therapy.

In Russian accident and emergency wards the SCENAR is used to aid recovery from cardiac arrest, massive trauma and coma. The SCENAR has recently been shown to aid in improving learning ability, memory, sexual function and improved physical health. Finally trials in Russia have also realised SCENAR's usage for pain management. Both cancer and fracture patients have found more pain relief from the release of natural opioids after SCENAR treatment than from those externally administered.

SCENAR Operation

The SCENAR is run over the spine and abdomen or AFFECTED area. The software records the resistive response to its signals and returns a fresh signal, causing a gentle tingling/stroking sensation. The practitioner is looking for anomalies on the skin surface, which may be highlighted by redness, numbness, stickiness or a change in numerical display or sound. Although these areas may not seem to directly relate to the obvious symptoms, by treating these 'asymmetries' (as the Russians call them) with the SCENAR, the healing process will commence.

Experienced SCENAR practitioners state that, though the SCENAR device may be used after the preliminary training . A chronic problem may require up to 6 weeks SCENAR treatment, with long-lasting effectiveness. Acute problems may just take one or two treatments. It is reported that SCENAR proves effective in 80% of all cases, of which full recovery occurs in two thirds of them and significant healing in the remainder.

SCENAR Overview

Of all the devices reviewed here, few demonstrate the rapid treatment capabilities of the SCENAR. Not only is the SCENAR versatile in its range of treatment, but it also displays an amazing ability to accelerate the healing process. As a stand alone treatment system, the SCENAR is excellent for alleviation of acute symptoms.
