Association, a precursor of nuclear medicine in Poland, is, at the same
time, an excellent pop music composer, the author of many 'hits' which were
sung all over Poland and his record sales exceeded half a million. He also
is Chairman of the UNICEF Polish Committee, holds positions in many Polish
and international associations, writes books, publishes articles in the
press, helps ......
"TU":
You look wonderful. It is hard to believe that
some of your achievements go back as far as the fifties. How do you do it?
Is it only classic medicine that helps you?
Jerzy
Woy-Wojciechowski: Not only! I am
open to everything which can be useful to a man, I have been very interested
in going back to some forms of natural medicine, new trends, expanding
medical achievements by new techniques, psychological activities, etc. The
matter is delicate and each movement results in enormous responsibility.
Thus, being interested in something does not necessarily mean acceptance.
But before you condemn it, it is good to get acquainted with it. I will
confess to a moment of physical weakness. At some point I began to lose my
strenght and I was diagnosed with aenemia. One of my friends gave me the
address of a man who treats people by means of pressing certain parts of the
body with special blunt steel sticks. It turned out that the 'healer', Mr.
Ferdynand Barbasiewicz, is a doctor of psychology and his treatment is a
kind of acupressure. After a few visits the result was sensational. Today I
can be a blood donor and help others!
CLAVITHERAPY in the opinion
of Janusz Kołodziejczyk, a renowned reflexology specialist, specialist in
gynaecology and a family doctor with a knowledge of acupuncture
Clavitherapy is
a new medical term and what it embodies has only been in existence since the
1960s. Created by Dr Ferdynand BARBASIEWICZ, a Polish psychologist,
clavitherapy is a sum of all the systems of reflexotherapy, micropunctures
and corpopuncture.
Its mechanism of action is
explained in terms of well-established scientific medical knowledge of
neurology and anatomy (the anatomy of the nervous system in particular)
rather than the speculative theory of Chi energy, the Five Elements Theory
and their mutual transformations, the concept of “full” and “empty” organs
etc. – all forming the foundation of the classical Chinese acupuncture.
This
distinction is, however, purely ideological, as reflexotherapy is a
contemporary continuation of acupuncture that utilises its extensive
practical achievements, creatively develops it and explains the effects in
terms of the widespread and approved medical knowledge, clavitherapy,
being the final form of its development and the sum of the entire
reflexotherapy, remains in the same relationship with acupuncture.
Unlike the other methods of
reflexotherapy, clavitherapy:
-
uses the whole surface of the
body rather than its fragments which form the “biologically active points”
-
introduces the session of
„mutual acting out” on the head as a prelude to the diagnosis and/or therapy
-
adds diagnostically altered skin
areas (dandruff of the scalp, algodystrophic, morphologically altered body
surface areas which do not stain following stimulation, morphologically
intact areas which upon stimulation stain in a different manner than their
surroundings as well as other skin changes describes in detail in the next
chapter) and uses them therapeutically
-
creates and uses a unique system
of biocybernetic relationship between the quality of the session and the
patient’s impressions resulting from the session. Thanks to the system a
session carefully carried out IS ALWAYS OPTIMAL with respect to the
patient’s needs resulting from his or her condition
-
introduces, due to the
biocybernetic relationship, a level-by-level principle of restoring the
function of impaired structures of the nervous system (central or “initial
acting out” on the head followed, if necessitated by the course of the
session, by a “targeted acting out” on a lower, peripheral/corporeal level
of the reflex arc).
All you need to have is
“just" a knowledge of the nervous system anatomy, nerve and blood supply of
the organs and body parts. All this knowledge is contained, as far as Poland
is concerned, in “just” one volume of the renowned anatomy textbook by
Bochenek and Reicher. Such a detailed knowledge of the nerve supply to the
integument is absolutely vital as clavitherapy assumes stimulation of the
whole body surface for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. After all, as
previously mentioned, the efficacy of clavitherapy rests in its cybernetic
relationships formulated in a total interdependence between the interior and
the exterior of the human body.
Thanks to all of the above
characteristics, especially the biocybernetic relationship between the
session and its result, and the “initial cortical, central and peripheral
acting”, the efficacy of clavitherapy is incomparably higher than that of
acupuncture and the other components of reflexotherapy, whether considered
individually or as a whole. Also important is the fact that clavitherapy
makes a full use of the entire integument, meaning the whole skin including
the scrotum, which is closely associated with the cerebral cortex, and the
penis, which is associated with the meningeal sac and the spinal cord (F.
Barbasiewicz) and the labia, the mons veneris, the projection on the skin
above the ovaries. In more intimate locations, the patients carry out the
session by themselves. Also, in justified cases, stimulation of the anus,
the perineum, the vermilion and certain areas of the mucous membrane of the
mouth, the tongue etc. is recommended.
Because during clavitherapy
the entire skin is involved, all the potential nervous pathways are
available. This is in contrast to acupuncture, where stimulation is limited
to pathways whose receptors are located in biologically active points. By
making use of the biocybernetic stimulus-response relationship, we are not
only using our knowledge and expertise but also the wisdom of NATURE. And
nature is a powerful and invaluable ally for humble doctors. Years of
experience have proved clavitherapy to be extremely effective in such
nervous system disorders as multiple sclerosis and extremely promising in
atrophic lateral sclerosis, certain cancers, scolioses, allergy and
psychosomatic disorders. Panacea generally arouse suspicion among doctors.
Although clavitherapy is not a panaceum, its extensive applications and
therapeutic efficacy do provoke similar emotions while it should be
inspiring respect and a desire to find out more. Unless, of course, we have
lost our respect for Nature, which usualy proves disastrous in the end.
Sometimes doctors are quite
surprised at the efficacy of reflexive therapy (and clavitherapy in
particular). But does anyone find it surprising that the body can function
properly on its own even though the structure and function of the nervous
system have not been completely elucidated? We simply take it for granted.
In the event of disturbances we call a disease, it is the possibility of a
well-thought-out intervention in the nervous system functions by means its
structures that allows us to reach any organ to act upon it by way of
nervous reflexes to force autoregulation and a vascular response,
SELF-REPAIR and even REGENERATION of the affected organs (obviously only
within the strict limits set by the Nature) resulting in SELFHEALING of the
sick body.
Reflexotherapy may be used
in numerous disorders, always in conditions requiring regulation of the
organ’s functions, self-repair or regeneration of its structure damaged as a
result of functional changes (inflammation, hyperfunction or hypofunction of
the organ, structural changes or losses resulting from abnormal limitation
of the organ’s function). In fact, at the very outset of therapy and
rehabilitation reflexotherapy should be recommended, possibly in its most
refined form of CLAVITHERAPY.
ACTING OUT FOR SURGICAL
AND NON-SURGICAL PURPOSES
A thorough acting out of
the cortical, central system achieved by indirect stimulation of the area of
scheduled surgery and neurosurgery through the skin of the head and
different pathways of the peripheral nerves will promote and accelerate
patient recovery post operation.
Every structural pathology
of the organ and morphological pathology within the operation area generates
strong cortical central tensions in the brain and the entire network of
nerves controlling the region or the organ to be operated on. Moreover, the
psychology of negative emotions of the suffering person as well as anxiety,
inflammation, infections and any (not just analgesic) medication, oedema and
a significant anaemia cause further pathologisation of the area to be
operated on and of the entire weakened organism. Several repetitions of
thorough and successful clavitherapeutic acting out may significantly
improve the patient’s performance by detoxification and reopening of
sufficient blood supply to the body, especially to the area to be operated
on. As we know, where a surgery is performed in an area of poor perfusion
and susceptible to metabolic collapse at the endogenous level, for example,
in a region affected by the freezing feet syndrome, post-operative synopsis
will be very unfavuorable.
A thorough clavitherapeutic
acting out, reopening of the digestive system, the autonomic, sympathetic
(blood supply), and pyramidal (motor activity) nervous systems, regulation
of intrinsic nerve potentials and kindling of the lost conductivity of
nervous impulses along the afferent and the efferent pathways across the
entire body, not just to the area to be operated may also significantly
improve the patient’s performance, which is of utmost importance before,
during and after the surgery. This costs nothing and ensures a more speedy
recovery. On occasion, the pathological changes regress after the acting out
rendering the operation unnecessary.
Statement
of Dr G. K., a specialist in neurology (clinical neurophysiology)
In September 1994 I called
Dr Barbasiewicz to ask him to prepare me for surgery with clavitherapy. I am
53 years old. Two years before I had a malignant melanoma excised from the
back of my left foot. The post-operative course was complicated and
protracted. In September 1994 I was diagnosed with metastatic malignant
melanoma in inguinal lymph nodes and I was offered their removal. I am now a
patient of the Oncology Centre Clinic of Surgery in Warsaw at ul. Wawelska.
I started clavitherapy sessions with Dr Barbasiewicz a week before the
scheduled operation.
I underwent eight
clavitherapy sessions, which were held every day and whose duration was
between 2 and 3 hours. During the sessions Dr Barbasiewicz was carrying out
psychotherapy. After 4 or 5 sessions I started feeling stronger, my mood
improved, I stopped smoking, I started sleeping better and I regained my
appetite. The follow-up blood count revealed an increase in the relative
count of lymphocytes from 13% to 37% with total white blood cells 12,100 G/l
and 6,800 G/l, respectively, and a reduction of bands from 8% to 1%. I took
the lymph node surgical excision well. The post-operative course was
uncomplicated. The histopathologic examination of the material sampled
during the operation revealed foci of metastatic malignant melanoma in the
lymph node without the tumour transgressing the node capsule.
I think the treatment
applied by Dr Barbasiewicz met my expectations. As a result of the sessions
my mental condition improved, my whole body was detoxified and cleansed and
my immune system was stimulated. This was reflected by the improvement in
the differential blood count revealed 14 days after the first examination.
This improvement maintained in the next blood count done at the Clinic.
I would like to emphasise
that for the past few years I have been following with increasing interest
the results of clavitherapy sessions provided by Dr Barbasiewicz to patients
with various illnesses and of various ages. Being a medical doctor
specialising in paediatric neurology and clinical neurophysiology and
familiar with the principles of Chinese medicine, acupuncture treatment and
homeopathy, I highly value Dr Barbasiewicz’s therapy in terms of being able
to induce a relatively rapid and permanent improvement of the mental and
physical health in patients.
- signature and a doctor’s
stamp
Celina, aged 71,
had a cancer of the anal sphincter qualified for surgery. When she appeared
at the Clavitherapy Clinic, the size of the bleeding tumour was that of a
large plum and the patient had numerous large haemorrhoids. After 2 weeks of
clavitherapy sessions the pain and bleeding disappeared completely. The
tumour size decreased to that of a hazelnut, the haemorrhoids reduced their
sizes to be hardly visible. The inflammation of the anus completely resolved
and all the medical examination results were normal as in a healthy person.
After Celina had undergone clavitherapy, her attending surgeon concluded
that her case lost its malignant features and therefore did not qualify for
surgical treatment. A complete resolution of vaginal discharge was also
observed. Celina had also suffered from two serious vision problems: she
could not read or write without spectacles. Now she can read and write
without them.
Alina J. Cz.,
aged 70 – A doctor’s opinion
I presented to the
Clavitherapy Centre on 23 January 2002 with the following symptoms:
1) Bronchial asthma – after
two sessions the symptoms of asthma resolved – my breathing returned to
normal and has been such ever since.
2) A severe infection of
the upper respiratory tract infection and the bronchi – after three sessions
the infection subsided.
3) Low peripheral blood
pressure 90/60 with a heart rate of 110 beats per minute – current BP 105/70
with the heart rate of 97 bpm.
4) Discopathy of the
cervical and lumbar spine with herniated intervertebral disc. Lumbar
kyphosis which has now reverted, I regained lordosis.
5) Vasomotor disturbances –
the feeling of heavy head has now disappeared. My hands and feet do not feel
cold anymore and the level of sweating has returned to normal.
6) Paralytic disturbances
in the form of tics, paraesthesias, numbness and sensory disturbances,
muscle pain - the symptoms subsided.
7) Constipation – currently
bowel movements normal.
8) Sleeping disturbances –
difficulty falling asleep and sleep through the night – the sleep
disturbances largely improved.
9) Herpes – resolved.
10) Glaucoma – increased
intraocular pressure – improved vision for reading.
11) Low mood – improved.
Recommended performance of the Viskat and Catell tests.
12) Reduced span of
movements – improved.
13) Reduced appetite –
improved.
I declare that I will
maintain the positive changes achieved by Dr Barbasiewicz. I regard Dr
Barbasiewicz’s method of treatment as effective for most of my symptoms. The
report was signed and stamped by Dr Alina J-Cz., a specialist in medical
rehabilitation, physical therapy and balneology.
The treatment was witnessed
by Alina’s husband, A.Cz, MD, PhD, who signed the above report. After 11
days of treatment Alina underwent follow-up examinations and her condition
remains as above – good well-being.
IMPORTANT NOTICE! Alina
had a second MRI examination done on 15 February 2002, MRI examination
number 261, which confirm the resolution of the above-described disturbances
and pathological changes in the brain and the cervical spine (discopathy,
herniated intervertebral discetc.) – see attached copy of the MRI
examination description. Please be informed that I have performed much more
of non-invasive clavitherapeutic treatments of discopathy and herniated
intervertebral discs. Herniated intervertebral discs do not require very
difficult and complicated neurosurgical operations with troublesome
complications. Discopathies and herniated intervertebral discs can be
remedied with clavitherapy within 7‑14 days as confirmed by MRI. The
complete documentation is archived at the Clavitherapy Centre.
EXAMPLE: Elżbieta S., a 68-year old doctor from Cracow diagnosed with MS,
worked for 44 years as a dentist in a forced position in an ergonomically
improper workplace.
The
sitting position of a dentist is a left tilt with a left lumbar rotation.
This improper working position caused serious pathologic changes of the
lumbar spine (only that portion of the spine was diagnosed by MRI). As we
know, MRI examination is carried out on the patient in the horizontal
position. If it were performed in the vertical position, the image of the
spine would be more objective, as the spine would then be deformed under its
own load. Here is the description of the MRI scan No. 6365 carried out on 1
September 2003 at the Central Polish Railways Hospital Warsaw-Międzylesie.
The description of the examination was drafted by Iwona Rejniak, MD, PhD, a
radiologist.
“The MRI examination
covered Th11-S4 and revealed: lateral scoliosis of the spine, left rotation
of the vertebrae, posterior central hernia of the pulpous nucleus of the
intervertebral disc L4-L5 causing pressure on the epidural sac and a slight
bilateral narrowing of the lumen of intervertebral openings, a
posterolateral left herniation of the fibrous band of the intervertebral
disc L3-L4 causing a discrete narrowing of the lumen of the respective
intervertebral opening, degenerational sharpening of the anterolateral
margins of the bodies of L1-L2, intact paravertebral tissues.” (signed and
stamped by the doctor)
1. From the first day of
her work as a dentist, for many years, the brain was receiving signals via
afferent pathways that conveyed the following message ”change to an upright
position without tilting and left rotation”. The doctor did not change her
position despite the pain that developed after a certain period of work,
because this is the harmful way a dentist’s workplace is organised. Below is
a list of disturbances with Elżbieta S. presented at the Clavitherapy Centre
with a diagnosis of Disseminated Sclerosis (DS) (SM) – over the 7 days of
clavitherapy some very beneficial improvements were noted, which I quote
from the report:
1.
I couldn’t maintain the Romberg
test even for a second – at present I am able to maintain fully and for a
longer time the standing position with my feet together, my eyes closed and
my hands stretched forward.
2.
I couldn’t stand without
propping even for a second – now I am able to stand without any problems.
3.
Before the therapy I was unable
to stand on one foot – now I can do it.
4.
When I was walking or standing,
I had to prop, and I was dragging my right leg on hyperextended knees - now
I can walk slowly without propping.
5.
I had the dropping feet syndrome
– at present my feet do not drop and I am able to control them.
6.
I had the cold legs syndrome
even on hot days – now my legs are well perfused and warm.
7.
I was unable to rise from a
chair without propping or somebody else’s help – now I can smoothly stand up
unaided.
8.
Over the 44 years of work as a
dentist in a forced position I developed very significant pathologic changes
in the spine, especially in the lumbosacral spine, as confirmed by MRI,
causing severe pain and the above-mentioned functional restrictions.
The pain has now subsided
and I have regained significant performance in the lower limbs. My posture
has improved significantly. The treatment at the Clavitherapy Centre took
only 7 days, and the treatments were performed by Dr Ferdynand Barbasiewcz
himself (signed and stamped by the doctor).
Another example: Dr
Paweł.Kisieliński, an internal medicine specialist from Kalisz, presented
for treatment at the Clavitherapy Centre in 1991 with a diagnosis of
Disseminated Sclerosis -DS (sclerosis multiplex – SM). He was in a very bad
condition. For example, he found it very difficult to walk (the dropping
foot syndrome inter alia). After the 7 days of clavitherapy therapy he
regained full performance, including the capability of running. His wife,
who is also a doctor, after appropriate training, mastered the ability to
apply clavitherapy and up to now, this wonderful and brave doctor couple
manages to keep fit. Better still, they also heal other people with
clavitherapy.
Some doctors, after they
have recovered and regained physical performance, undergo training in
clavitherapy and practice successfully not only in reducing symptoms of DS
(SM).
Attached is a list of doctors who have completed a course in
clavitherapy and witnessed the complex processes of health improvements in
multiple sclerosis with the exclusive use of clavitherapy.
