'My fatal mistake': the main 'TV healer' of the USSR Anatoly Kashpirovsky lives in New York and treats Americans

The main "telehealer" of the USSR, the "Vinnitsa hypnotist" and psychotherapist Anatoly Kashpirovsky, who is still known throughout the post-Soviet space, now spends a lot of time in New York and heals Americans. At the turn of the 1980-1990s, the popularity of this person went through the roof. He collected millions of viewers, and there were always full houses at his sessions in different cities and countries, writes Lenta.ru.

In August 2020, Anatoly Kashpirovsky turned 81. But according to him, age is not a hindrance to him, and he does not feel like a pensioner at all, he maintains his physical shape with regular exercises and, as before, can make a "wheel".

“I feel like a person who is easy to walk, easy to breathe, easy to sleep. I can eat what I want. I have no complaints about myself. First, I have never smoked or consumed alcohol. Sometimes, of course, I could try my tongue, but I never had a craving for this. This is one side of the coin. Then, I train at home. I have shells. There is a horizontal bar and a pair of dumbbells. I do exercises on the press, I still roll the wheel, ”says Kashpirovsky.

Now the "telehealer" conducts many sessions in New York and treats people from tooth decay and obesity in the conference rooms of metropolitan hotels. He also regularly visits the countries of the former USSR with "healing tours". For a session, Kashpirovsky takes from $ 35, writes 360tv.ru.

In the USA, a specialist usually meets with clients in one of the hotels on Brighton Beach, where many people from the USSR live, write "News".

According to assistant Kashpirovsky, in the United States he has no end to customers.

“He has either speeches or private consultations. Interest in him has not died away! ” - said the assistant healer.

For $ 35, customers are promised to help lose weight, cure tooth decay and relieve allergies. Sometimes sessions are held under the romances, which Kashpirovsky himself performs. The healer also spends "three-minute distance." They are dedicated to various topics, for example, getting rid of snoring and nose correction.

After many years, Kashpirovsky never revealed the secret of his treatment method.

“My work affects tissue, somatic disorders. And when changes occur, they cannot be felt, because it is a molecular level, we cannot feel molecules, ”he explained.

Kashpirovsky in New York

Kashpirovsky chose Brighton Beach (“Little Odessa” in New York) to carry out from there no less than a worldwide psychological action to save the world from snoring. Leading American, British, Italian and other world media outlets were silent about this. But the Brighton newspapers trumpeted about the "event of the century", without stopping, however, modestly pointing out on the margins of messages: "as an advertisement," writes "TVNZ".

“On June 29, 2017, at exactly 19:30 in New York, in the hall of the National restaurant, I conducted an unprecedented psychological action - a worldwide remote nose correction with the restoration of normal nasal breathing and getting rid of snoring. The fantastic nature of this unusual action lies not only in the instant (in three minutes) correction of the nose of thousands of people, but also in the absolute absence of any visual, audio and video contacts with me as the source of this programming, ”says Kashpirovsky.

An announcement was posted in advance on Kashpirovsky’s official website: “Those who wish to participate in the action can be located both in New York itself and far beyond its borders. Virtually anywhere in the world. Exactly at 19:30 (New York time), those who wish should be lying or sitting for three minutes with a focused look at any object in front of them, in no case trying to fall asleep or feel something. It is not recommended to touch your nose one hour before the start and six hours after the action. ”

Prior to this, in May, “a specialist in psychological treatment,” as Kashpirovsky calls himself, conducted a remote action to rid the world's inhabitants of congenital heart defects.

Kashpirovsky and the USA

“I just come to the USA and rent an apartment here. Ordinary modest apartments, not like the stars, who have everything differently. In fact, I don't need anything. Ordinary furnishings - there is a table, a refrigerator, a bed. A couple of rooms - that's all, ”says the“ TV healer ”.

“Moving to the USA was the second biggest blooper in my life. I never had to go to the USA. Even on tourist trips. It was absolutely unnecessary. The country is good, but not for me. I'm the banana that doesn't grow at the North Pole. I adore Ukraine, Belarus, Russia. I love the Soviet Union. This is my homeland. That's all. I have several homelands: Kazakhstan, where I took my first steps, Belarus, where I went to first grade, Ukraine, where I graduated from school, ”he says.

What do our immigrants think about Kashpirovsky’s sessions in the USA

“Imagine, I’m walking along the main Brighton and see a poster:“ Kashpirovsky Anatoly Mikhailovich conducts sessions… invites… Accepts… ”I thought that this person disappeared somewhere along with the collapse of the Union. And he, it turns out, here in New York, is alive and well, works, helps people, cures ailments, earns money in the hall of the National restaurant. I go inside, find out: a ticket for a group cure - 35 dollars. You cannot get an autograph or take a joint selfie. In the same place, along with the tickets, the salt charged by Kashpirovsky and his photograph are sold ", - writes columnist Oleg B.

“In my presence, my grandmother, about 90 years old, supported by her homattеnder, took the last dollars out of her wallet to buy a ticket. She scraped together $ 25 in total. It was evident that the wallet was empty, and she also had nothing in the stash. Then the usher took pity and gave her a discount, like a pensioner, selling a ticket that was in short supply at a price below the market price, ”continues Oleg.

“So there are compassionate people in Brighton Beach. Although the manifestation of such humanism is more the exception than the rule here. I didn't buy a ticket then - I regretted $ 35. The ticket lady, seeing me turn around and about to leave, started offering me a $ 10 discount. She said that I could go as a student. I refused, but then I regretted it. After all, it would be interesting to see such a famous person live, to look at the methods he uses to enter a state of trance, to his skills in controlling the audience, to evaluate the reaction of the public. Maybe someday, I'll go again, ”the columnist shares.

Despite all the skepticism regarding his methods on the part of modern scholars and physicians, as well as on condemnation on the part of the Church, Kashpirovsky still has a devoted audience.

“So I want to give up everything, live there, in Medzhibozh - and nothing more! Buy some hut ... But try to buy a hut there - you can’t buy it! ” - the healer admitted in an interview with Dmitry Gordon, complaining about the high cost of real estate in his native places.

Anatoly Kashpirovsky’s relatives still live in Ukraine.

Way to success

In 1989, something was shown on Soviet television that can now only be seen on the Internet or in a movie theater, but in the latter case, only if you are over 18 years old. Then on Soviet screens showed surgery on a person without anesthesia. At the same time, the operated one sang and did not feel pain. She was one of several patients in Tbilisi whose operation was performed without pain relief, she writes. "Ukraine.ru".

This was not the first such video and such an operation. The year before, in March 1988, a television bridge Moscow-Kiev was shown on Soviet television, which was conducted in both Russian and Ukrainian.

It was thanks to him that the graduate of the Vinnitsa Medical Institute, who later became the head of the Republican Center for Psychotherapy in Kiev, Anatoly Kashpirovsky, became famous throughout the country.

Since then, his name has become a household name, and he himself remained in memory as a "telehealer" and almost a magician. Kashpirovsky himself is saddened by such glory: he continues to assert that there is nothing magical in his work, he only mobilizes the hidden forces of the human body.

It all started long before the glory

“It all started long before I got on television. It was working in a mental hospital, this is my childhood and my whole life. I have had performances through the Knowledge Society since 1964 - an incredible number of lectures, demonstrations of psychological experiments. In 1971 he performed pain relief during 17 operations, ”Kashpirovsky tells about his successes.

According to the healer, there was a huge demand for his services, which gave rise to the idea to bring all this to a new level.

“And colossal results came, the demand arose huge. It became 30, 50 people to come. They began to think what to do. What if this is done through television? So that there were not only dances, songs. And such an idea came up, - says the "telehealer". - And then it turned out that one of my patients asked to anesthetize her during surgery to remove a breast tumor. It was in Vinnitsa, she worked as a nurse in our hospital and suffered from a very severe allergy, so she gave a terrible reaction to all medications. She went to an endocrinological dispensary, where she was refused. And I was insulted, called a charlatan. It's just that for doctors of any profile, everything that is not pills, incisions, or medical is crossed out. Although I was already quite famous - I traveled all over the Union even before 1988 through the Knowledge Society. But I haven’t had any television fame yet. ”

“And then I turned to Kiev, to my friend, classmate, doctor of medical sciences, he was in charge of the medical department of the Kiev Institute of Oncology. He says, "We can do." Me: “Then let's do it on TV. This will motivate everyone to do such operations with other people. ” He agreed, "Kashpirovsky recalls.

The main mistakes in life

Central television invited Kashpirovsky to broadcast throughout the Union. He was invited to Ostankino and asked how many programs there will be.

“And then I made the most important joint in my life. I thought like this: in Ukraine there were five, but in the Union let it be six. I remember this day and night, every day. Why did I make such a blunder? I had to continue on! At least a year or two. Thirty gears or at least ten gears. This was my fatal mistake. I could be there for an endless time, ”says the healer.

According to him, over six issues he managed to cure 10 million people from various diseases. He argued that during the sessions it launches self-regulation mechanisms that produce in the human body the medications necessary for recovery. His methods were criticized in the commission of the Russian Academy of Sciences on the fight against pseudoscience and falsification, the Ministry of Health of Russia completely banned Kashpirovsky’s mass sessions in 1993. After that, the therapist announced that he was conducting only health talks. And after he moved to the United States, where he is popular.

“And there was also a mistake when I took my son to the USA. It was all so difficult - school, he did not know the language. I began to come there, but did not move, did not run away, as Malakhov said. Although I am now in the USA, I have not moved. Soon I will be in Moscow, then in Kazakhstan and I don’t know where I will be at all, ”says Kashpirovsky.

“Following my son, my daughter moved to the USA. She is a doctor. This was also a mistake. Life was hard, my girl died under tragic circumstances. As a doctor, she could not get a job in the States. She moved with her husband to Canada and died there. This is the story, ”says the healer.
