Thank you for your enquiry about the Scenar Practitioners Society of Ireland. (SPSI)

The SPSI was formed on the 7th of July 2000 by John Garvey and a group of interested students.
The SPSI was established to regulate the use of Scenar (Skenar, Kosmed) in Ireland and to ensure the highest standards of practice and Ethics for the benefit of the public, the clients and the practitioners.
The SPSI is the National Scenar "Umbrella" organisation and the regulatory authority for Ireland.
The SPSI has its own Constitution and Code of Ethics as well as its own Accreditation and Standards Sub-Committee.
The SPSI is open to all, whether from medical, complementary /alternative/holistic backgrounds.
In order to qualify as an RSPSI (Registered, Scenar Practitioners Society of Ireland) one must meet the core curriculum standards required by the SPSI and the Department of Health prior to branching out into ones own qualified health speciality.

Amongst the benefits to members are:
· The highest training standards.
· The protection of the National and Internationally recognised organisation.
· Benefits of shared Scenar Knowledge.
· Discounts of Scenar devices and associated products.
· Share your views and comments through the SPSI Newsletter.
· Receive first hand access to recently translated Russian Scenar research both from the past and present times.
· Air your views at AGMs and courses and on committee meetings and various panels for registered Practitioners.
· The SPSI is a non-profit making society, which redistributes profits to members by way of discounts, reductions and special services.

What is Scenar therapy?
The Scenar (Self-Controlled Energo Neuro Adaptive Regulator) pioneering device was invented by Russian scientists for using in the Space Programme by cosmonauts.
Scenar therapy is a holistic form of treatment, which stimulates the nervous system and teaches it to heal itself. Electrical impulses, the parameters of which are similar to endogenous nerve impulses, are transmitted through the skin to the nervous system. Fast-reacting informational biofeedback means that each impulse is different from the previous one and helps to speed up healing.
Scenar action influences the adaptive processes of the organism and helps harmonise them. In response to Scenar impulses the Nervous System releases neuropeptides, which are broken down into many compounds, which are themselves, bioactive. As a result, balance (homeostasis) is gradually and gently restored.

What does it feel like?
As the device is moved over the surface of the skin a comfortable tingling sensation is felt. In cases of severe pain or acute conditions, the sensation may be stronger.

How Scenar works on a disease?
Clients having Scenar treatment need to take responsibility for their health and are advised to actively participate in the treatment and recovery process. The chemical compounds, released by the nerves, affect not only the problem areas, but also circulate in the blood treating other areas of the body. This goes some way to explaining how old -and often forgotten problems- are brought to the surface for treatment.

What conditions can Scenar treat?
In the UK, the devices are licensed by the British Standards Institute for pain relief only. However, because of the nature of the device, viz. stimulating the nervous system, the Russian experience is that Scenar positively affects all the body systems.

The Russian experience suggests that it can be effective for a very broad range of diseases, including diseases of the digestive, cardio-vascular, respiratory, musculo-skeletal, urinary, reproductive and nervous system.

It is also useful for managing ENT diseases, eye diseases, skin conditions and dental problems. It has also been found beneficial in the treatment of burns, fractures, insect bites, allergic reactions, diseases of blood and disorders involving immune mechanisms; endocrine, nutritional and metabolic disorders; stress and mental depression etc.
It is known to give relief from many types of pain.

How often will I need treatment?
In order to create a continuous flow of circulating regulative peptides Scenar action must be given quite often. For any fresh injury or any acute inflammatory process treatment needs to be intensive, ideally once or even twice daily. For chronic conditions, treatments are ideally given three or four times per week initially. As health improves the frequency may be reduced.

A course of treatment will vary from individual to individual, and takes into account such factors as the stage of the pathological process, the person's age, state of health, and so on.

STANDARDS.
The S.P.S.I has contracted the Irish College of Scenar (I.C.S.) to train students to the S.P.S.I standard.
 

Is it safe?
As the Scenar impulse is similar to endogenous nerve impulses, it is non-damaging and safe. Only people with cardiac pacemakers are not allowed to have Scenar treatment.
Children and pregnant women may be treated.

What about my conventional treatment?
If you are receiving treatment from your doctor, it makes sense to inform him about Scenar therapy. Treatment with Scenar may enable you to reduce or even stop taking some medication and this should be done under the supervision of your doctor.

What else do I need to know?
During the treatment of chronic conditions, occasionally a healing crisis may occur (experienced as a lack of energy and malaise). This arises if ones body is getting rid of toxic energy too rapidly. There are techniques that can be used with the Scenar to manage this.

For best results, it is advisable not to bath or shower for two hours before and after treatment. It may be necessary to shave an area of skin to ensure good communication between the device and the nervous system.

Clients generally experience an increase in energy, more refreshing sleep and an improved sense of well being.

How does it differ from other therapies?
There are several ways in which it differs from other electrical therapies.

Unlike TENS impulses, each Scenar impulse is different from the previous one so the body is able to adapt to the signal, thus breaking the negative habit and encouraging healing.

Scenar impulses are high amplitude so may stimulate C-fibres, which makes up about 85% of the nerves in the body. That explains the quick effectiveness of Scenar therapy in the whole body.
