Subjects of lectures

Vladimir Zhdanov is a supporter of the idea of sobriety. In his lectures he relies on the theories developed by Shichko, Uglov, Basharin and other devotees of life without alcohol. Subsequently, Vladimir Georgievich began to use only the scientific developments of the psychophysiologist Shichko.

The key topics of Zhdanov's speeches and lectures are: "On curative starvation", "On the benefits of honey", "On quenching with cold water", "On the shadow government", "On the harm of yeast bread", "On psychics". Also, the hero of this article conducts courses on restoring vision and getting rid of bad habits (smoking, drugs, alcohol).

Key Concept

As the central idea of his work, Professor Zhdanov Vladimir singles out sobriety. And this concept is interpreted by him from the point of view of Shichko, ie, as freedom from drugs, tobacco, alcohol and other addictions at a subconscious level. The ideas promoted by the hero of this article are consistent with a number of major foreign studies.

Other topics of lectures

• In his speeches, Vladimir Zhdanov often talks about psychics who can see the aura. The latter, according to the professor, destroys heavy music, smoking, alcohol and profanity.
• Pseudoscientific, in the opinion of many, the theory of telegony Vladimir Georgievich considers more important than mathematics.
• In almost every speech, the professor states that thermophilic yeast and bread based on them are extremely harmful to health.
• Zhdanov advocates tempering with cold water. He also tells about the system of Porfiry Ivanov called "Baby".
• In his lectures, Vladimir Georgievich divides all food products into three groups: "carbohydrates," "live food," and "squirrels." Further, he states that digesting carbohydrates needs an alkaline medium, and for proteins it is acidic. Therefore, it is harmful to combine these classes of products.

Criticism

Vladimir Zhdanov, whose comments are very ambiguous, is regularly criticized by scientists. Alexei Nadezhdin (head of the children's department at the Center for Addiction) praised the professor's lectures, but made a very significant amendment. According to Zhdanov, the primary factor that adversely affects the brain when drinking alcohol is the adhesion of red blood cells. Nadezhdin said that this is only one of the reasons. The key factor, according to the narcologist, is the direct action of ethanol on the membranes of nerve cells.

The deputy director of the Moscow Narcology Center, Oleg Buzik, who holds a Ph.D., also shared with the correspondent of the publication "Neskuchny Sad" his views on Zhdanov's teachings. Vladimir Georgievich's arguments he called "horror stories based on the substitution of concepts." In addition, Buzik was critical of Zhudanov's disrespectful statements about drug addicts.

Associate professor and practicing psychologist Denis Novikov estimated the methods that Vladimir Georgievich uses in his speeches, calling them "elementary coding" and mental manipulation. Novikov believes that the professor's lectures are designed not so much for patients with alcoholism, but for their relatives. Close patients find in his speeches an outlet to their own feelings and aggression, accumulated during a life with a drunkard.
