driving pulses are of electric nature, and interruptions in this system have catastrophic
consequences. Never did medicine have the means to influence this system.
Late in the 1970s Soviet military electronics made fantastic
progress. No wonder that it was in this sphere that the discovery at
the junction of electronics and medicine was made. Having investi-
gated the characteristics of signals sent from the brain to all the or-
gans of a healthy organism, electronics experts made a tiny micro-
processor which can imitate such impulses. Their underlying idea
was very simple: if there are some failures in the organism control
system, the microprocessor would compensate.
The electronic pill, once it is in the stomach, comes into con-
tact with nerve endings and begins to send pulses through them.
These pulses get into the central nervous system and arouse reciprocal reaction. The
organism begins to look younger. After 25-30 hours the pill is released naturally. One
pill is sufficient for several months.
In 1984 the security bodies stamped the discovery as classified. Hundreds of ex-
periments were staged on dogs, after which each of the inventors swallowed several
pills and thoroughly recorded their observations:
"...20-40 minutes after taking the pill a person begins to feel inside his body a
self-contained electro-stimulant, and a little later, its movement inside the body...
Women who have given birth to a baby, experience a feeling close to pregnancy,
some men note the unusual sensations and a certain state of anxiety..."
Then the stimulant was tested by patients, and only after that the official clinical
tests of the autonomous electro-stimulant started in the leading clinics of the country,
including the Institute of Surgery, headed by Academician Petrovsky (in those years
the USSR Minister of Public Health). It is also known that once these pills saved the
life of a cosmonaut after a grave operation.
At this stage the story of the electronic pill comes abruptly to an end. It is known
that in ten years this pill was used nearly two million times in the former 4th Main
Department of the Ministry of Public Health. It was used to cure the patients of spe-
cial elite clinics. The pill was produced by the military-industrial complex, in ex-
tremely limited numbers.
The pill project was almost lost once the Politburo was dissolved and the un-
known military plant underwent conversion. But thank God people came forward to
save the unique industry. In November 1991 the management of the Public Health
Ministry signed the quality certificate of the self-contained electric stimulant.
Thereby, a permission was granted for a wide use of such stimulants. The pills were
on sale at the chemist's, but even the salesmen could not explain clearly what pains
this strange remedy relieves. After that the Soviet Union disintegrated and the eco-
nomic crisis intensified.
Despite this, scientists go on working on the improvement of the pill. It turned
out that if the surface of the capsule is covered with a thin coating of zinc, copper or
silver, the atoms of metal will get directly into the blood. This will make it possible to
cure with greater success, and in the future to make the pill remote-controlled. Most
likely, our children will use such pills for treatment.
