"The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming" was the name of a comedy movie released in the 1960's. Well, as they say "art imitates life". But sometimes, it is later than predicted. Such is the case with the much delayed but much planned arrival of the wonderful electronic medical device from Russia called RITM SCENAR. FDA cleared and ready to distribute in America, it is the marvel of modern technology. (Yes, for those of you in the know I AM choosing to focus only on this fresh start.)
It made it's official appearance in America at the recent 1st US International Conference on SCENAR therapy held in Las Vegas, September 25-28, 2014. Here Russian and American scientists, health practitioners and potential distributors met to learn from each other and do business together. As a long time SCENAR therapist, SCENAR trainer and now distributor (since April 2014) I felt the full relief and excitement of someone who worked through the travails of getting the SCENAR in America and witnessed the success of such an effort.
In all, the event gathered over 80 (eighty) SCENAR advocates from around the world. Among them were North Americans, Central Americans from Mexico and Costa Rica, Europeans from Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France, the Netherlands, and England as well as colleagues from Australia, New Zealand and Oman (Asia). The conference was sponsored by the SCENAR manufacturing company RITM OKB ZAO and its new US based subsidiary company RITMSCENAR OKB, Inc. The new CEO of the US corporation, Ilya Marder, was introduced during the conference.
Kay and I attended the second half of the conference agenda. We hit the ground running from the moment we arrived, off to meet, greet and do business with OKB and our global colleagues. In an upcoming post I will share about the wonderful people we met, we re-connected with and whom we will collaborate with to co-create success here in the America.
The Conference Agenda
As usual, in America, the conference itself was divided into three parts, first the lectures delivered in English, Russian/English combination and Russian only, where each thought was translated in person from Russian to English. Part two was the product sales at a discount. This included new, even more desirable SCENARS and probes. Part three was my favorite, networking and smoozing with my friends and colleagues of few and many years. Lots of time for this was built in between lectures, meals, etc.The Education
The lectures included beginning SCENAR usage, specialty usage and very advanced diagnostic and treatment sessions. I participated in the latter. The information was well presented, great new knowledge was shared with clear instruction. I do have useful ideas to take back to the practice as well as share in training. I have to say I just wish the lectures could all be delivered in English in America. Some things just get lost in translation. In classes I participated in along with my mentor and first trainer 9 years ago Irina Kossovskaia, MD we helped with what she and I called "language adjustment". Ah, a goal for the future as we grow.The thing about the SCENAR that never ceases to amaze me even after 9 years of use, and that was punctuated at the conference, is all the things it can do. Help repair injuries, stop pain, fix internal disorders, accurately diagnose systemic and nervous system disorders and most amazingly, balance the whole CNS and ANS functions with the protocol called 3 pathways. Now of course given the FDA clearance here in America the focus was on pain related to every condition discussed.
The Product
The devices have been upgraded, updated and modernized. They are now modern looking, streamlined hand-held devices. They have been digitized with colorful screens with easy to use presets. The SCENAR "Super Pro" debuted as the new top of the line RITM SCENAR unit. It is digitized, good looking with colored windows, numbers and graphs, many presets and protocol add-ons the other SCENAR professional devices don't have. This is therapists device. I look forward to putting it through its paces soon. The consumer units are for everyone. They too are sleek, pre-formatted, with many defaults. I like the SCENAR Sport D a lot. And yet my new favorite is the SCENAR Home Expert. There were also probes for every purpose. They are a bit clunky so I am working with OKB to create some new designs. I have a new one I just sent the OKB Director.So much for education and product.
