History of S.C.E.N.A.R.

Blind Men and the Elephant
Describing history, any history, is like inviting blind men to describe an elephant - depending on where each stands, the elephant becomes either a large hose, a tail, a big ear, a fat trunk, etc.
The history of S.C.E.N.A.R., although it is a relatively recent one, is just like that. Many myths and stories have grown up around it and, from the perspective of the narrator, each is wholly acurate. True to ISTA's position of neutral reporting, we are not in a position to do more than ask the men and women who have been involved in making S.C.E.N.A.R.'s history to give their version of that bit they witnessed or helped create.
What you read here, which will no doubt expand as time goes by, has been provided by people who are known to ISTA and who have told the story as truthfully as their position alongside this particular elephant permits.
To start this process, we have asked Alexander Karasev to tell his story. He is the acknowledged inventor of initially a TENS machine, then S.C.E.N.A.R. and now COSMODIC. He is a gifted engineer whose vision is ultimately to develop a device that will help prevent people from getting ill. This desire to develop a preventative care device, and corresponding protocols, keeps him at the forefront of all developments in this field, and results in his constant development and design of new Scenar models, and now the first in the COSMODIC range. He readily acknowledges the tremendous support he has had from doctors and other professionals along the way and has ensured that we include their names in S.C.E.N.A.R.'s Roll Call of Honour.
Prof Revenko, the developer of most of the protocols governing classical Scenar Practice, sees the evolution of Scenar as follows
Anybody who wishes to give their version of S.C.E.N.A.R. history, or who wishes to comment on what they here find, is invited to get in touch. Others have been specifically invited to make their contributions. Theirs will be listed here soon, or their acceptance of these histories acknowledged. Where somebody has been invited to contribute, but does not, this too will here be reported.
Dr Yuri Gorfinkel's contribution has been included here, because in this essay, written shortly before his death, he captures the spirit and vision of S.C.E.N.A.R., which ISTA in part exists to help uphold. He gave Scenar its soul and influenced its philosophy in a big way.
Yuri Gorfinkel (1961 to 1998)
Each version of the history is presented in 3-parts -
(1) - the ISTA Interview
(2) - a chronological summary of events, and
(3) - an evolutionary chart of the respective versions of S.C.E.N.A.R. devices concluding with the range of devices currently available.
This is ISTA's listing of the men and women who have in some major way furthered the cause of S.C.E.N.A.R. The list is not closed, nor does it claim to be complete. Additional nominations are invited.
