The Girl With X-Ray Eyes
Natasha Demkina, a young girl living in Saransk, Russia, began to receive a lot of media attention around the middle of last month. It started with an article in Pravda, which hailed her as the 'Girl with X-ray vision'. You see, Natasha possesses the unusual ability to peer through human flesh and spot diseases and injuries that are lurking unseen within people's bodies. Or, at least, this is what Pravda claimed. It didn't take long for more newspapers to catch onto the story. The British Sun has been the most relentless about pursuing it. They've actually flown Natasha to London and are now parading her around like some kind of weird curiosity. Does Natasha really have x-ray eyes? Well, I doubt it. But I'm sure The Sun is going to milk this for all it's worth.

Where o' where has Julio run? He beat a hasty retreat when his last series of posts angered just about everybody in the JREF forum (except of course his dedicated Vitor sockpuppet). In case he went to ground before seeing the latest warning from the forum's administrator, I'm posting it here:
"Julio Siqueira - I have cautioned you previously, this is now a warning. Continuing to concentrate on your personal issues with other members will result in further sanctions which may include suspension or banning."

I have to ask that you keep your debate to the JREF, rather than carry it on here. This is an old thread on a forum which has been shut down for all but responses.
The JREF thread has actual responses from people other than the few of you.
Basically, we're tired of you using up the 'recent comments' section due to your arguments.

And this is your concern, why?
Posted by askolnick on Tue Jan 17, 2006 at 04:51 PMBecause I'm a mod?
Posted by Boo in The Land of the Haggii... on Wed Jan 18, 2006 at 01:01 AMIt would have been good if you had stated that.
Posted by aaskolnick on Wed Jan 18, 2006 at 06:49 AMwith respect, boo. this story is running because it now seems that one of the team who 'tested' the girl, andrew skolnick, has been shown to be a hoaxer himself, so the whole debate is now wide open. when this expose ocurred, a skolnick went over to the jref forum and tried to recruit 'help'and tried to denegrate the MOH in the process. i will not be involved with any 'jref' debate from now, boo. i apreciate that that is off topic. but please allow this thread to continue as it is dealing with a very pertinent subject for the MOH. peace and best wishes.
Posted by lucianarchy on Wed Jan 18, 2006 at 07:02 AMMy apologies, aaskolnick, I forgot that the status didn't show up on the old forum.
Posted by Boo in The Land of the Haggii... on Wed Jan 18, 2006 at 07:11 AMThis topic has long since ceased being a discussion and has devolved into constant name calling and insults. Therefore, it will be closed to further posts.
