A DOCTOR WITHOUT DRUGS

From Budapest Sun

Zoltan Vargha performs foot massage, but not the traditional foot massage or reflexology that works only on the skin surface. He can find the smallest abnormality and diagnose with incredible accuracy using the so-called "Vargha technique."

Doctor Vargha told the Budapest Sun: "We put an end to medicine dependency and we trigger impulses by neural stimuli. It is a very individual treatment because everybody's body is different. We do not harm the body because we do not take in any chemicals but can define exactly when an illness started."

Vargha got his medical degree in Tirgu Mures and escaped from Transylvania during the Caucescu regime in 1986. He swam the frigid waters of the Szamos river to get to Hungary. He has since traveled all around the world and claims to have healed many Hungarian celebrities, as well as Yoko. He would not reveal anything specific about their individual treatments.

Doctor Vargha's techniques are applied in the clinics of Germany, Dubai and Cuba. He also has two institutes in Budapest with 24 trained assistants.
