Unlike the study conducted by Discovery, the results from The Sun came out conclusive that Natasha indeed had special abilities. The journalist, Briony Warden, suffered fractures and injuries to her leg after a car accident that required reconstructive procedures and the use of metal plates. However, Britain’s The Sun was also able to conduct their own study with one of their journalists volunteering. Natasha’s mother was also present in the testing room and Natasha’s friend, who was acting as interpreter, was found to have constantly been sending and receiving text messages during the course of the test. Also, several protocol violations were discovered as Natasha arrived earlier than expected and she was able to interact with two of the volunteers at the facility. For one, Natasha claimed that she could detect each anomaly in just a few minutes, but the entire test took her four hours to make her diagnoses. The study yielded to unsatisfactory results because of several other variables. While Natasha was able to identify some of the conditions correctly, her biggest blow was not being to identify the patient with a metal plate in his head and instead said the patient with the appendix removed had a piece of his skull missing. The following conditions each participant has been a removed appendix, metal staples in the chest left after a surgery, a removed lower section of the esophagus, a removed upper-left section of the lung, a metal plate covering a removed section of the skull, and an artificial hip joint. In order for the researchers to arrive at a conclusive result, Natasha had to identify at least four of the seven conditions. During the test, Natasha was provided with a set of cards with instructions in both English and Russian where she should indicate the abnormalities she has spotted on which participant. To make the test as simple as possible and non-invasive, Natasha only needed to scan seven volunteers six of them with abnormalities or medical conditions while one was completely well and normal.
In March 2004, the Discovery Channel, together with the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP) and the Commission for Scientific Medicine and Mental Health (CSMMH) prepared a simple test to unlock the mystery of Natasha’s x-ray vision. All she needs is a few minutes to scan a person from head to toe. Natasha and her mother claim that she can detect abnormalities in the body with 100 percent accuracy. Some people who have come to her even claim that Natasha was able to find illnesses and problems that they did not know they have in the first place.īecause of the local media covering this phenomenon for almost a year, Natasha has gotten the attention of various other media agencies around the world, most notably the Discovery Channel who sponsored a study that was conducted on Natasha to get to the bottom of how her ability to “scan” people really works. Moreover, Natasha says that her x-ray sight only works in the daytime and, like some kind of plot twist, she cannot use her special ability to scan her own internal organs.Īccording to the media and to the people she scanned, her diagnoses appear to be sometimes more accurate than those made by medical professionals and doctors with the most advanced of equipment.
I can see the full structure of the human body – how internal organs are positioned and how they function… afflicted organs produce a kind of radiation.” “This switching makes no difficulty to me I just need to think about it. I can switch any minute without reason, should I want to see the state of health of a person,” Natasha reveals during one interview. During that time, between 20, Natasha “scanned” her friends and relatives and presented them her observations. Born in 1987 in the Russian city of Saransk, Natasha Demnika discovered her unique ability when she was just about 10 years old.
