The Mad Russian

Yefim Shubentsov's isn't a doctor but claims his method of curing tobacco, alcohol and other addictions is 98 percent effective. And as we'll see, e keeps the secret in the palm of his hand.

He's called the mad russian, the poof doctor. With the wave of his hands and what sounds like a sneeze, this man called Yefim is said to be able to erase in just minutes the bad habits people have formed over a lifetime.

He says, "I remove desire. I can erase in your mind whatever you want."

In his thick Russian accent Yefim insists that in one three hour session in his Brookline, Massachusetts classroom will cure anyone of what ails them... overeating, smoking, phobias, even chronic pain.

And he does it all with words and his hands but those hands never actually touch you. Mary Sicord lost fifty pounds after a visit to Yefim. She says, "He has this power to erase these particular foods that were a weakness for me."

The healer helped chef Robin Holly quit smoking after forty years. She says, "He sort of radiates an energy through his hands, almost like a magician."

Yefim claims there's nothing mystical about his methods. He credits a science called bio-energetics. He says he's able to physically manipulate the invisible electric force field that surrounds every person's body. He says he even transforms the energy in the brain back to it's original form, the way it existed before a person, say, became addicted to cigarettes.

He tells us, "I can feel it physically, so I give a more strong signal back."

Even Harvard University has studied Yefim. Dr. Douglas Powell says "He was being observed by some of our most skeptical medical and psychological staff."

Powell says after six months of observation, Harvard couldn't explain how Yefim heals but they did answer the most important question. Does it work?

He says, "I would say yes, it did work."
