Nikolai Levashov

Dieser Artikel wird gerade bearbeitet. Bitte mit Edits warten!

Nikolai Levashow (Nicolai Levashov, russ. Никола́й Ви́кторович Левашо́в, geb. 8. Februar 1961, gest. 11. Juni 2012) war ein russischer antisemitischer Okkultist, Geistheiler, Verschwörungstheoretiker und Buchautor. Levashow verbreitete zu seinen Lebzeiten Wunder vollbringen zu können. In russischen Medien und auch in US-amerikanischen Medien wurde er als Pseudowissenschaftler oder "Scharlatan" kritisiert, während Anhänger ihn als "theoretischen Physiker" bezeichnen. Zwei seiner Bücher dürfen in Russland (zumindest in einigen Regierungsbezirken) wegen ihres antisemitischen und volksverhetzenden Inhalts nicht verkauft werden. Levashow behauptet zahlreiche Diplome und Auszeichnungen erhalten zu haben. Einige der genannten Auszeichnungen wurden nur an ihn vergeben, und unabhängige Informationen zu der behaupteten ausstellenden Organisation fehlen völlig. Levashow ist als Medizinlaie auch engagierter Gegner der modernen evidenzbasierten Medizin, die - so seine Behauptung - die Menschen immer kränker mache.

In seinem Werk "The Final Appeal to Mankind" (engl. Übersetzung) behaupt Levashow eine eigene vereinigte Feldtheorie (unified field theory) entwickelt zu haben.

Ein pseudomedizinisches Behandlungsverfahren SVETL soll auf Nikolai Levashow zurückgehen. Es wird aktuell (2017) auf dem Esoterikmarkt angeboten.

Kurzbiographie

Nikolai Levashow wurde 1961 in Kislovodsk geboren. Nach eigenen Angaben soll er 1984 ein Studium der "Theoretischen Radiophysik" an der Charkow State University absolviert haben. Danach war er zwei Jahre als Offizier bei der russischen Armee tätig. 1991 emigrierte er zusammen mit seiner dritten Ehefrau Svetlana de Rohan-Levashov in die USA, wo er 15 Jahre blieb. In den USA war Levashow als Geistheiler und Buchautor tätig. 2006 kehrte er nach Russland zurück und lebte bis zu seinem Tod durch Herzversagen 2012 in Moskau.

Aktivitäten als Geistheiler und Telepath

Der Medizinlaie Levashow betätigte sich in den USA als Geistheiler. Folge waren Klagen von behandelten Kunden, die sich darüber beschwerten keine Besserung erfahren zu haben und die sich daher weigerten Rechnungen von Levashow zu bezahlen. Mit den Behandlungen von Levashow befasste sich unter anderem Michael Shermer in einem Artikel "Another Alt Med Tragedy", der im Februar 1999 im New Yorker "Skeptic" erschien.^[1]

2003 behauptete Levashow den [Hurrikan Isabel durch telepathische Fähigkeiten in seiner Windgeschwindigkeit gezähmt zu haben, als dieser sich der Küste der USA näherte.

Geschichtsrevisionismus und Antisemitismus

Alexander Hinewitsch

In seinen geschichtsrevisionischtisch-antisemitischen Machwerken "Russian History Viewed through Distorted Mirrors" und "The mirror of my soul" (engl. Übersetzung, 2007) versucht der Autor Levashow dem Leser glaubhaft zu machen, dass die russische Geschichte und auch die Entstehung der Erde (Midgard-Erde) und der menschlichen Zivilisation "distorted" (also verzerrt) dargestellt werde. So werde die russische Geschichte in Wirklichkeit durch Juden und Deutsche verfälscht. Die tatsächliche "vedische" oder "slawisch-arische" Vergangenheit Russlands werde demnach unterdrückt. Die von Juden geleiteten und finanzierten Bolschewiken der Oktoberrevolution von 1917 werden als "schwarze Freimaurer" bezeichnet, und die danach die eigentliche russische Bevölkerung beseitigt habe. Juden ordnet Levashow dabei den so genannten Greys zu, die als soziale Parasiten einer Dunkelwelt und auch als "Unterrasse" (the grey sub-race) bezeichnet werden. "Israeliten" hätten demnach auch ein weltweites parasitisches System aufgebaut ..The Israelites start creating the world-wide parasitic system..[..]..The Israelites create a parasitic state: the Khazar Khaganate.. Des weiteren hätten Juden den ersten und zweiten Weltkrieg angezettelt.
Er formuliert auch eine rassistische Geschichte der Menschheit. Der homo sapiens sei demnach urplötzlich auf der Erde aus dem Weltraum mit Vitmanas-Raumschiffen aufgetaucht, auf der vorher nur schwarze, rote und gelbe Rassen gelebt hätten.

Levashow bezieht sich auch auf so genannte slawisch-arische Weden ("russische Weden"), die auch Gegenstand von Texten des Gründers des Ynglism des russischen Esoterikers Alexander Hinewitsch sind.

Another Alt Med Tragedy

In the next couple of months CBS's Unsolved Mysteries will be airing a program on a "Russian Psychic Healer" named Nicolai Levashov, who claims he has created medical miracles and that "the results have mystified the very doctors who had written their patients off as incurable," according to the pre- production report given to me by the producers of this segment. I was consulted by the segment producer, Janet Jones, and was asked to comment on film about this healer. I was not going to comment on this until the show aired, but recent events compel me to finally say something. Nicolai Levashov says he heals people by going inside their body psychically and tweaking with the damaged cells and tissues. The story segment focuses on two cases: (1) Isabelle Pritchard, who was born with a brain tumor and had four surgeries and numerous chemo and radiation treatments; (2) Susan Strasberg, the actress, diagnosed with breast cancer, was allegedly healed by Levashov. The second case is now another tragedy of Alternative Medicine, since Strasberg recently died of cancer. Here is the Unsolved Mysteries script that was going to be used for the show (they sent me a copy), but will be changed, no doubt, before it airs, since Strasberg was filmed extensively for the program. The script: "Actress Susan Strasberg, the daughter of famed acting teacher Lee Strasberg, calls her involvement with Nicolai's psychic healing "the great adventure of my life." At age 57, she had felt a tiny lump in her breast. A biopsy confirmed her worst fears. She had malignant cancer and needed a double mastectomy. "My mother had died of cancer at 58. I didn't want that to happen to me. I'm 60 now and feeling better than I ever have in my life. I owe it all to Nicolai." Susan refused surgery. A longtime believer in alternative healing methods, she sought help from Nicolai in San Francisco. By the time she went there, her tumor had grown quickly and was considered in a terminal stage. For nearly ten months, she went to Nicolai's office every day for 15 minutes. When she had to go to Europe, he continued the sessions via telephone twice a week. [Psychic healing can allegedly be done over the phone.] Susan had a mammogram a year after the initial diagnosis of cancer. It showed no signs of the tumor. Her New York doctors had no interest in hearing about the Russian healer Susan described to them. She gratefully acknowledges Nicolai's skill by saying, "This must be the medicine for the future. He knows anatomy, biology, chemistry and can diagnose sickness so well. My essence knew this was the right thing to do, to put my life in Nicolai's hands"." Strasberg died of cancer. Her final statement sums up the problem succinctly and tragically. The future of medicine is not in the so-called "alternative" or "complementary" medicine fields. The reason is that almost every claim made in these fields are based on the types of "essences" Strasberg felt as the "right thing to do." As pattern-seeking animals we all tend toward subjective feelings about what "feels" or "seems" right. Sometimes we are right, sometimes we are wrong. The only way to find out is to test the claim with science. Modern medicine has developed a reasonably reliable method to test such claims (not perfect, of course, but the best method we have). Strasberg chose to ignore science and she paid with her life. (Of course, we will never know how the experiment would have come out with traditional methods of treatment, since people still die of cancer, but we DO know how this one came out.) Nicolai Levashov came to the attention of Unsolved Mysteries through a woman named Barbara Koopman, M.D., Ph.D., a close friend of Susan Strasberg. She wrote Unsolved Mysteries a letter recommending that they do a story on him. (I have copies of the letter, all medical reports for Strasberg and the other patients, the Unsolved Mysteries script, etc.) I called Koopman to get a statement about this affair. At first she was very reluctant to speak to me, but since I was friendly and genuinely inquisitive she warmed up and then opened up. She still completely believes in Levashov. Strasberg, she says, lived four years longer than she should of thanks to the psychic's healings of her. Strasberg had the happiest final four years of her life. She should have been dead within months but instead lived years. Her death came suddenly and was a complete surprise to Dr. Koopman and, she says, to others as well. Koopman feels that regardless of the cause of death (the Los Angeles Times obit said it was from cancer), her final years were still a miracle. Levashov is still, in her eyes, a miracle worker. I asked Koopman if she knows how Levashov works his miracles. She explained that it has to do with the interchange of matter and energy, but that this explanation probably makes no sense. Correct there Dr. Koopman. She continued to stress over and over that this outcome should not be considered a tragedy, because Strasberg was so happy at the end. Will Nicolai Levashov be held accountable for Strasberg's death? Of course not. Will such alternative modalities of healing be questioned because of this? Of course not. Will Unsolved Mysteries run the piece and then end it explaining that she died anyway? I seriously doubt it (my guess is that it will be eliminated from the segment so as not to dampen the enthusiasm for the psychic healer's amazing skills - disconfirming evidence is rarely presented on such programs). Unfortunately, countless people are taken in by such hucksters as Levashov, and pay with their lives, but because they are not celebrities we do not hear about them. And the alternative medicine gurus like Deepak Chopra and Andrew Weil are not about to pen a statement saying that perhaps they are wrong about the nonsense they peddle. Tragedies like Strasberg are either ignored, or tallied up to negative thoughts on her part, or by healing methods on the part of this ONE psychic (but the other methods are still acceptable), or, in Koopman's case, that she WAS healed, temporarily anyway. This whole mess sickens me. You are going to see more on alternative medicine in the pages of Skeptic in coming issues. This is a problem of grave concern. Michael Shermer
