Reality TV Watch and make a decision!

There was no scenario for the reality show what so ever. However, the life of the heroes on the show was filled with interesting events and cases. Surely, there were scandals and arguments. Down below, we suggest to recall the past, most interesting events of the show.

Gleb’s arresting.

The American participant of the show happened to get into a police department. One and a half weeks prior to departure, he got into jail for irrespective attitude towards judge in the court. He also never came for a hearing of his case, which was the reason he also went to jail. Also, just before the departure to Kyrgyzstan, Gleb overdosed.

The arrival of the show cast.

First to arrive were Ekaterina Antipova, and Anatolyi Nesmeyanov, both are from Magadan. That was their first trip so far away from home. Later, Andrey Kroshanov, Irina Anisimova, and Italian, who met on the plane on the way to Kyrgyzstan, arrived. Luckily for Gleb, who arrived a bit later, the American law system, gave him a chance, and allowed him to travel to get a treatment.

Every participant of the show arrived together with co-dependent persons; only Irina came alone as she had no one to be around her during the treatment but her little daughter whom she left with her relatives for the time being.

Andrey’s withdrawal syndrome

The first night at the clinic was unbearable for Andrey. He suffered a withdrawal syndrome. His body was in pain, shaking, and he could not fall asleep. His poor wife Olga, seeing all his sufferings almost fainted. She was by his side all the time during the show. Later, her support and care for her husband, evoke an enormous sympathy among doctors and the filming crew. There was a feeling that they have a special connection, energetic connection which reflects the state of her husband on her.

Meeting with doctors

During the first meeting with doctor and the cast, the doctors have pointed out the main rules of the participation in the show. Since that day, the cast was cut off from the external world. There was no access to the Internet neither to telephone. Only once a week they could make a phone call to their close ones.

A special uniform, with the logos of the World League Mind Free of Drugs and the Medical Center of Dr. Nazaraliev, was designed for doctors and for the cast.

The candidatures for elimination from the project

From the very beginning of the show, doctors had doubts about the Italian. Sometimes, his behavior confused not only doctors, but other participants. During his interviews with doctors, he was convincing the team that he was ready to quit and wants to finish with his past and start a new life. However, during the show, he kept on talking about drugs from time to time.

Irina Anisimova, on the other hand was very closed. The medical specialists decided that she has not enough motivation in order to undergo treatment successfully. Strong motive is one of the main conditions at the clinic of Dr. Nazaraliev.

Blockade

Each participant was assigned 4-5 session of Central Cholinolitic Blockade. During the procedure, patients were put asleep, and did not experience any pain or discomfort. After the blockade, such symptoms as weakness, mood swings are very common for patients, though the craving for drugs is already lessened at this stage of treatment dramatically.

Hip Hop

Gleb is in love with music and never left his music player. Here, in Kyrgyzstan, he started learning about Russian hip-hop spending all free time in front of the TV. After the release of cravings for drugs, most of all he missed talking with his peers and friends, and also he missed a lot hi sport cars.

Conflict with a psychologist

I am a drug addicted, mother, what shall I do? Shall I admit my daughter to an orphan house? – Irina was crying on the phone to her husband. This conflict had mental and moral aspects. Irina was accused and judged by a psychologist Fatima Raimkulova, as well as her colleagues-patients, for being a bad mother.

Dreams

Drug addicts are rarely see dreams in comparison with healthy ones. After the blockade, some participants regain the ability to see dreams. 

The dream of Ekaterina from Magadan, had an obsessive character. She dreamt of injecting herself, the clothes of blood, high blood pressure, then hallucinations and crawling centipedes.

Alex in contrary was dreaming about future. He dreamt of catching a plane and flying back home in order to watch a first series of the Reality Show Doctor Life. But when he arrives, he can’t find it. It is good that some dreams stay dreams.

The arguments and fights between the Italian and his father

The relationship of Italian and his father on the project are far away from ideal; the fights between them were constant. The father tried to control basically everything, even the treatment process. He literally annoyed doctors by asking how many drop systems were assigned to his son, why, for how long, and what are the medications.

Initially, the Italian was talking warmly about his dad, but later he started accusing him of being greedy, demonstrating some sort of Infantilism.

Panic on the project

Seems that any isolated community, in our case our participants, is willing to scarify anything for a minute of a conversation with a close one outside the project. Fears and anxieties pass from one hero to another. They induce fears and pass it around. Leitmotiv of the 4^th episode was fear and anxiety. The group was overwhelmed with panic, as the presence in the clinic at one point came to a routine, and plenty of time appeared for the patients to start thinking about their future. They widely discussed the term that heroin can wait, and were scared to not being able to withstand drugs after the release from the hospital.

Birthday

Just a few months ago, Irina Anisimova has not even suspected that she will celebrate her 29^th birthday in a foreign country so far away from home, in the warm company of her new friends. This year, her birthday fell along with her rebirth-treatment in the clinic of Doctor Nazaraliev. She was smiling all evening, saying that usually she hates birthdays, but this day is like no others, extremely special for her. My friends gave me presents, flowers, paintings and a whip, which I use to get rid of the devils J Participants did not wish her lots of money in life, a success in work or similar, they simply wished her to start believing in herself and begin to live a new life.

Overall improvement

After a mass of medicamentous procedures, conversations with a psychologist, the participants felt much better. Many gained appetite, great face color and a positive mood. Doctors were also tuned in a positive mode. The blockade subject was no longer actual and it was closed. That stage was successfully completed.

Andrey Kroshanov was happy to see his healed wounds on legs and arms. He admitted that he was feeling great! Soon, he stopped limping, and was moving independently and confidently without experiencing any discomfort or pain.

Chucking a tantrum with hashish

He was assuring the staff and other patients, that the hashish, which he openly gave to his father, was not serving as a reason to look like a hero.

-My aim was to prove doctors and my father that I no longer have interest in drugs, thus I passed the drugs to my father. The rest of people perceived it differently, shares Italian. However, after this incident, the rest of the participants of the show, turned away from Italian, and never regained trust among collective. The Italian was persuasive in proving that he had different intentions, but his excuses and stories about how a huge, black negro with scars, gave him a present in the bar, were not bought by any member of the group. The viewers memorized these lines, and Italian lost his trust. Sadly, he was soon dismissed from the race for the absence of self-critics and strong motives which he proved he did not have.

The completion of the first treatment stage

Regardless the fact that many participants of the Reality Show had latent diseases, doctors were able to correct their overall health conditions the best possible way!

What is more important is that we blocked the pain syndrome and rid of pathological craving for drugs. Everything went smooth and with no accidents- commented the head of the intensive department Doctor Edil Abykashev. The participants underwent a mass of procedures. In the last 17 days, we performed 35 Sessions of Blockade, 19 sessions of plazmapheresis and 80 sessions of laser therapy, 80 sessions of trans-cranial electro stimulation and 816 drop down systems.

Visiting Tashtar-Ata

At the foothills of the Sacred Mountain Tashtar Ata, translated from Kyrgyz as the Father of Stones, based on the principle f cognitive metaphor, the participants of the show chose their own, soul stones, which reflect their internal condition.  At the very beginning of the reality show, each participant laid individual tile, which symbolized the given chance to start a new life. These tiles will be concreted in the steps which lead to the mountain of salvation Tashtar Ata, which became a symbolic place for drug addicts who come there for their solvation. Each participant chose a stone, which is later to be thrown off the shoulders as a heavy burden.

Work with stone

Before throwing the stone of in to the pile of thousands stones on the Salvation mountain, the participants spent a long time with it.  The stone as a collector of pain, fears and anxieties was always besides patients during the whole treatment process. It serves as material symbol on which people project all their negativity.

Drifting on the project

The participant from USA, Gleb Antonov, was not expecting to do something he adores doing while getting treated in the clinic. Meeting with local drifters was surprising! He could finally talk about his passion in one of the garages, sharing all he knows with another drifters. Guys also told him about drifting in Kyrgyzstan, shown his their auto park and later even had a chance to test an old airport way which was located 45 km away from the city.  Gleb was very fast and furious. Patients learnt that fun get be there without additional stimulation and drugs.

Games

Feeling much better, the participants started learning how to improve its communicative abilities. They were offered various psychological trainings including games. Everyone acted as school kids while performing some sort of assignments. The broken phone game, demonstrated how the disinformation and gossips could appear.  At this stage, heroes having difficulties totally controlling and reaching the state of Dzen, as they still haven’t yet obtained the alternative for their narcotic way of life.

Trip to Issyk Kul

On the South Side of the Issyk Kul lake, living in traditional yurts, the participants had spent a week. That is where they learnt about a program Mindcrafting, gave the vow of silence, mastered breathing psycho techniques, and enjoyed the Dervish Dance. All these techniques helped them to regain confidence and believe in their inner self.

Conversation with Professor Nazaraliev

All patients had a great chance to talk with professor in informal atmosphere, sitting on the chair like good old friends. Patients found out that professor’s daughter was the first one to undergo the Mindcrafting program when she was only 7 years old, besides, professor still practicing the techniques himself almost every day.

The most important factor is to conquer yourselves!- was doctor saying, at the sam time preparing patients for the upcoming difficulties.

Bania- Bath

It is a separate chapter in the whole rehabilitation period. Smeared all over the whole body with the healing argil, looking like cartoon personages and making fun of each other, the participants undergo a special procedure called detoxication. Doctor reminds to participants, that unhealthy salts and heavy metals must be eliminated from body system. Only after completing such procedure we can be assured that bodies of the patients are no longer preserve the traces of narcotization and all toxins are withdrawn. This procedure is followed by hot steamed bath and swimming in healing waters of Issyk-Kul lake.

The Vow of Silence

Each participant had to spend the whole day in silence, alone in isolated yurt.  This therapy helps patients to accumulate energy, collect all thought and place them in order and tune themselves to a new direction in live. According to doctors, only two patients Andrey and Italian were not assigned to this session, as these two guys had similar experience before when they were doing times in prison.

Arguments on the project

For 5 days, together with psychologist, the participants were constructing from stones a labyrinth. This became a real test. Irina was almost fainting on the third day of work. Katerina was complaining about pain in her back, Anatoly injured his thumb, and Victor simply started harassing and threatening the psychologist. Later, the situation became even hotter, but in spite of all issues the labyrinth was eventually finished. During the ceremony of rebirth, each participant silently asked for forgiveness from close ones. Everyone wanted to pass the labyrinth and enter a new, life, with understanding of a new, positive, reborn I am.

The cast is leaving the project

Returning from Issyk Kul back to the clinic, no one knew that only six out of eight will be allowed to continue the treatment race. After the medical commission, the Italian and Alex were sent home, and only Alex will be able to return to complete his treatment after the vocations.

Pilgrimage

In the frames of a final stage, the four participants were assigned to complete the pilgrimage. These were: Anatolyi Nesmeyanov, Andrey Kroshanov, Gleb Antonov and Irina Anisimova. Each one had to walk for 250 km, carrying its stone of burden towards the mountain of Salvation Tashtar-Ata.

Two participants are disqualified

The leaders of pilgrimage became Anatoly and Andrey. They were eager to complete pilgrimage from the beginning of their treatment. Doctors were positive about their preferences as well. In spite of pain in legs, blisters and exhaustion, they did not give up. The pilgrims had to follow a specially designed route. Gleb has broken the rule and used short cuts. Besides, he thrashed his stone into small pieces. He was disqualified. Following Gleb, Irina who was always complaining that she has no power to continue the race was also disqualified. She mistakenly assumed that at this stage her treatment is successfully finished, she walked as much as she could thus she is healthy. Her choice was made.

SEPT

Ekaterina Antipova and Victor Malleker went through a 3 days of serious tension. They were prepared for a Stress Energetic Psycho Therapy while their colleague were walking for 250 km. towards Tashtar Ata carrying along the stones of burden. The methods of final treatment stage for each participant were assigned basing on participants psychological abilities, physical endurance and the level of initial motivation to heal. The procedure SEPT itself for many participants seemed very dangerous and threatening, though they did not see what was happening in the operational room, they were just obeying doctor’s commands and felt shivering in bodies. After the completion of SEPT, the heroes felt release, physical as well as psychological, similar to a re-birth, and fell asleep for several hours. Later they woke up with new power and energy and entered a new life, life with no drugs in it. Now, they have confidence in their future. Their new world shines with new bright colors.

The Finale. The Tashtar-Ata

Their close ones, doctors and friends believed in them. They proved it right! Swallen legs, hands, dried faces from winds, tired and exhausted pilgrims finally came. Only two had made it- Anatoly Nesmeyanov and Andrey Kroshanov.

Another two finalists also came to Tashtar-Ata- Victor Malleker and Ekaterina Antipova. The brave and strong four walked up to the pile of stones and threw their heavy burden of the past into the heart of the mountain. Now they are free and ready to start a new life!

This project has given them a second chance to live, as well as changed them cordially. Now everything will only depend on them.
