Natasha Demkina from Russia's Saransk first got popular in London and then disgraced in New York. The world learned about the unique ability of the 17-year-old girl at the beginning of the year. Newspapers reported about the X-ray girl who could see through people like a medical apparatus. Natasha"s talent became evident at the age of 10.Once the girl suddenly said she saw her mom"s blood running through the veins. However, neither the girl nor her mother got surprised with the incredible talent. Soon, the girl started using medical terms correctly. That was especially astonishing as there were no doctors in the family at all.Friends of Natasha"s mother became the first patients of the unique girl. A line of patients from different cities of the country lined up near Natasha"s door the year when the girl was leaving school. Natasha X-rayed ten thousand people over the seven years since her talent became evident. The Russian girl got really popular in January 2004: British journalists brought her to London, and Natasha did successful diagnostics of patients right during a live show on TV. The popular Discover Channel decided to make a film about the unique Russian girl. Natasha Demkina concluded a contract with the TV channel for six months according to which she was prohibited to give interviews to other mass media. Over the period since that time, Natasha left school with honors. She successfully passed entrance examinations to Moscow"s Semashko State Stomatological University. Some time ago, the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper gathered "X-ray" people from all parts of the CIS for a congress. Unfortunately, Natasha could not come to the congress. But the newspaper staff was surprised to know that the Commission for Paranormal Phenomena in New York discredited the Russian "X-ray" girl. What is more, Britain"s The Guardian called Natasha a quack.

When the Komsomolskaya Pravda journalist met the girl the latter angrily said she was no X-ray. She explains that the X-ray unit seriously differs from her ability: the unit does scanning of the whole organism completely, but Natasha scans every organ separately to see condition of the whole organism. The journalist decided to try Natasha"s ability and asked the girl if she could see anything in her gums. At that, the gums were closed tightly. Both girls fixed their eyes on each other for some seconds and then Natasha pronounced a stunning diagnosis. The X-ray girl managed to see a pin screwed into the tooth canal after nerve extraction a year ago and even a hardening on the inner side of the gum.

I'm confused, why is the title "X-ray girl exposed", from reading the whole article it sounds like they haven't exposed anything - just tried desperately to trick a young girl with an amazing gift because medical science so far has no explanation for what she can see.

I always figured everyone said she had X-Ray eyes because that was the closest expalnation for her gift, she always claimed she could see organs and blood which of course an X-Ray can't - if that's all they are exposing then they haven't "exposed" anything except their own lack of understanding of medical science.

I've fought this girls cause on this site from day one, and when I saw the title of this news report I thought I'd have to admit I was wrong after all, but reading the full report I feel slightly disgusted at how this girl was treated by people soley out to discredit and debunk her through deception and trickery.

I think by 'exposed' it means that she's been 'exposed' on Television, as in she's demonstrated her ability to a large audience. I don't think it's supposed to mean she has been exposed as a fraud.

They picked a poor choice of words, i'll change the title to something more apropriate.

its good people try to discredit these ridiculous claims of superhuman powers. I for one do think its possible, but Im not believing it just yet, I also think the term "X-Ray" is inappropriate to describe her talent I believe it could be something more similar to remote viewing...she communicates with the persons body using her brain to manipulate her electrical energies and magnetic fields...kind of like kreskin the famous spoon bender.
but of course I have no idea what Im talkin about

i recon it would be wicked who cares if they gave her a weird name it fits good to me

Does anyone know if they did indeed prove this, is there actually any truth at all?

They should call her "crazy eyes girl" or "girl with them eye things" or maybe even "blind as a monkey with an mri machine"

Its pravda... and James Randi still seems to be offering that 1 mil... my bet is that its fake (mostly because it comes from pravda, just like the story Boriska -- Boy from Mars and Russia Conquered Mars 30 Years Ago)

This poor girl is just a pawn that those with power and money are using to make more money!

Does she know that she can win $1mil from a sceptic?

lol, yeah with that 1 million, she can open up a business to suck innocent people's money out from under them. Russia, has and always will be a cooky, wierd, and extremely interesting place

If this girl can see your organs through your cloths, she must stare quite a while at a guy before agreeing to go on a DATE.


SOL again!
