He was an ordinary music teacher from Chelyabinsk, who put the entire Soviet Union on a needle … More precisely, on a set of needles that were independently sewn to a small rug by everyone who wanted to be healed of any disease.
Ivan Ivanovich Kuznetsov, the creator of the immortal panacea for ailments and physical weakness of a person - iplikator Kuznetsov. Only now the iplikator killed not only the inventor's wife, but also himself.
The invention of the iplicator
Kuznetsov once poisoned cockroaches in his apartment. Well, like any Russian person, he did not take care of basic security measures. The result was a burn of the lungs, which did not respond to drug treatment. Leaving hope for doctors, the future inventor decides to help himself.
Having studied the basis of Chinese traditional medicine, in particular acupuncture - the effect on the human body with special needles in certain places, Kuznetsov creates the first prototype of an iplikator - a piece of foam with sewing needles integrated into it. Yes, yes, in the original the iplikator had sewing needles, but what we are used to seeing is a version adapted for the market. He personally experienced Soviet acupuncture. And the most amazing thing is that the method worked! Ivan Ivanovich recovered, which was confirmed by tests and X-rays. There was no limit to the amazement of the doctors. The self-healer was advised to go to Moscow, show his invention to scientists, so that it could serve the people.
In Moscow, experts from the Ministry of Health at Kuznetsov, of course, only laughed. Perhaps due to its obstinate and not always predictable nature, this only provoked the inventor and helped him not to abandon his idea of popularizing know-how.

Without any patent for his invention, without medical documents confirming the effectiveness of treatment, Kuznetsov begins the practice of acupuncture. For 20 years, a teacher from Chelyabinsk has been treating those who have been abandoned by official medicine. The glory of the healer is growing and strengthening, despite the extraordinary approach and methods.
Take off your pants
Ivan Ivanovich received in the office at the Institute of Physical Culture. Together with him, the restoration of athletes with the help of massage was done by Roman Kashigin, whose memories, in fact,
- the only evidence of Kuznetsov's treatment methods:
According to the recollections of the same Kashigin, Kuznetsov always began his treatment from the patient's fifth point, probably believing that here is the focus of the nerve endings of the human body.
Cherished patent
They say that genius always borders on madness … And Kuznetsov looked the same. Bald, in a greasy suit, which he did not take off even when he went to bed, and he slept exclusively on his iplikator. And only four hours a day. Instead of one leg, he had a prosthesis, so he walked, leaning on a cane, in the other hand he carried an eternal shabby briefcase made of leather, which he did not let out of his hands even in the toilet, fearing that enemies would steal documentation for obtaining a patent and valuable diaries about their practice. I did not wash, believing that soap is the source of all diseases, in the sense that it destroys the protective layer on the skin. He ate sour dairy products, which he kept on the battery, added a piece of butter to them, sometimes soaking bread.
You might think that this is completely an exaggeration, but the fact that Ivan Ivanovich respected fermented milk is a fact. This is confirmed by the words of his grandson, Vladimir Kuznetsov, who also spoke about his recipe for colds and infectious diseases. Dissolve potassium permanganate in six liters of water, pour potassium permanganate until the water turns cherry color. This portion of the solution must be taken orally. Prepare the same volume for rinsing the mouth and nose and for enemas. After that, you need to drink three liters of milk and lie on the iplikator. Milk, as Kuznetsov assured, will restore the population of beneficial bacteria, which were destroyed by potassium permanganate along with the bad ones.
Despite the controversial approach to the treatment of diseases, and Kuznetsov believed that the iplikator could help even the most hopeless, his admirers only increased. Having accumulated experience and "evidence base" in the form of diary entries and reviews of grateful clients, Ivan Ivanovich decided to storm the panel of experts from the Ministry of Health for the second time. And then he decides to go all-in, offering to provide him with a "difficult" patient. And such is found - an official from the party apparatus. Kuznetsov cured him! As a token of gratitude, the party worker helped his savior to receive the coveted document.
The abduction of Kuznetsov's wife
Despite the fact that the fame of Kuznetsov's invention thundered throughout the Union, the company did not last long, and the cooperative went bankrupt. After that, some enterprising people came to Kuznetsov, who persuaded him to sell the patent for the iplikator. But could Kuznetsov have done this? The inventor's wife disappears, and the kidnappers demand a ransom for her, but not money, but a patent for a famous invention.
Ivan Ivanovich could not soberly assess the situation and refused. The criminals are killing the unfortunate wife of Kuznetsov. After that, the inventor noticeably passed - he grew old. However, he continued the active work of the healer and developed the idea of creating a needle-like spacesuit from which air would be pumped out: the vacuum should enhance the healing effect. But this modification killed its creator. Valery Pukov, who worked with Kuznetsov in the last years of his life, recalls:
And, as always, the fate turned out to be ironic. Ivan Kuznetsov could not help but believe in UFOs and other universes. And when he had the opportunity, he bought an apartment, remaining with his greasy suit and worn briefcase, in a high-rise building to be closer to the aliens. And he went to them in his spacesuit.
It is worth noting that there is so little official evidence of how Kuznetsov lived that it is almost impossible to compare the facts and find the truth. For example, according to one of the versions, he did not buy an apartment, but received it as an honored inventor. By the way, Kuznetsov had no problems with obtaining a patent for the spacesuit. At least that's what his grandson Vladimir says:
It was probably fanaticism that killed Kuznetsov - what is four seconds for someone who drank six liters of potassium permanganate …
