A Girl with an X-ray vision
01/14/2004 19:02
Moscow’s medical workers discovered a magnificent gift of a sixteen-year-old girl Natalya Demkina from Saransk. The girl possesses “dual vision”. She is capable of discerning a person’s internal organs without using X-ray or ultrasound.

In a month after that incident, the teenager was able to surprise her mother with her unique quality. “I see a crimped tube similar to our vacuum cleaner inside of you. I also see two beans and a tomato that resembles a bulls’ heart,” states the girl. Back then, she was not aware of medical terminology and could not provide a proper name for a heart, a liver, a kidney, or intestines. She simply compared what she saw to fruits and vegetables.

Natasha is capable of distinguishing even the tiniest pathology on a molecular level in the deepest corners of a human body, which are usually left undetected by regular ultrasound. “It’s like having double vision. I can switch from one to the other in no time if I need to know a person’s health problem,” says the teenager. “I see an entire human organism. It is difficult to explain how I determine specific illnesses. There are certain impulses that I feel from the damaged organs. The secondary vision works only in daytime and is asleep at night.”
What’s happening here is that a kid with a good basic first-grader’s sense of “what guts look like” has found some adults who wish to believe that she has miraculous “powers”.
But what’s really happening here is that Pravda has quite unashamedly turned into a tabloid and regularly runs credulous stories about UFOs, aliens, telepathy, and yes, girl children with miraculous “powers”.
What’s Russian for “woowoo”?
