Russian scientists claim a beating on the naked buttocks with a cane is the perfect way to cure everything from depression to alcoholism.
Researchers at Novosibirsk say caning releases endorphins, the bodys natural happy chemicals, Izvestia reports.
Endorphins lead to feelings of euphoria, a reduction of appetite, the release of sex hormones and an enhancement of the immune response. They also have a similar effect on pain to drugs such as morphine and codeine, but do not lead to addiction or dependence.
The scientists, headed by Biologist Dr Sergei Speransky, claim corporal punishment similar to that doled out regularly in British schools in the last century helps people overcome addiction and depression. Dr Speransky, of the Novosibirsk Institute of Medicine, said: The treatment works. Im not sadistic, at least not in the classical sense, but I do advocate caning.
The scientists recommend a standard treatment course of 30 sessions with 60 of the best, delivered on the buttocks by a person of average build. Dr Marina Chuhrova who also took part in preparing the report said she had 10 patients she caned regularly.
She added: At first they didnt like it, but when they started to feel the benefits they kept asking for more. The Russian team says they are now charging for the caning sessions getting £57 per patient for a standard treatment.
And now you know the rest of the story.
Judgenfuhrer Greer: "If caning is not sadistic, then we Pinellas County
murderers will just stick with Nazi-Crematoria-proven death by starvation.
If you Russians can make it more sadistic, we will consider it here, too."
"Thank you comrade, may I have another?"
WHACK!
"Thank you, comrade..."
You've gotta see this.
When I lived in Alaska an old woman came over from Siberia and offered "Honey Massage" as a cure for what ails you. OK I went for it for low back pain - honey was applied and she "spanked" the area - saying "Now you must just suffer" - it went on for 15 minutes - got the blood flowing - I guess!
Good stuff - Prolotherapy is the modern version and works better with less "suffering"

"Now you must just suffer"
ROTFLOL. Thanks for the laugh. Sheesh.
The floggings will continue until morale improves...
I know a lot of politicians who've earned first tier team status in the experimental trials. Perhaps we could pair XX swats per XX minutes of pontificating to the media or in the money grabbing Congress?
If only we had used canes at Abu Gharib instead of panties....
Man - when she said that I knew I was in for it - but it worked! no pain for weeks.
Glad yu got a laugh - I almost cracked up - in pain - when she said it in her thick Russian accent...
Ms. S&M meet Mr. Junk Science...
Sounds like she's a dominatrix
Haha ping.
I think that book is on my son's fifth grade reading list.
no comment! haha
This is a bit warped
Fifty-seven British pounds? That's $106.59 US! Heck, I know a lady who charges less than half that.
I read about her on the Internet.
Really.
From the country that gave us Rasputin and the Skoptsy cults? Whod a thunk it?
