Biography
Waismann was born in Brazil in 1958.[4] He studied medicine at Brazil's Serra dos Órgãos University Center in Teresópolis, where he received his doctor degree in 1981.[4] He immigrated the same year to Israel and was drafted to a military service in the Givati Brigade, where he served as a doctor. After completing his service with the Israel Defense Forces, Waismann worked as a doctor in the intensive care unit in the Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon. In 1989, Waismann was drafted to the Israeli Police, as a Superintendent, serving as the Jerusalem county doctor.[5][6]
In 1994, Waismann established intensive care unit for treating addiction to opiates.[5] In 2002 he helped to establish a treatment center in Jalandhar, India using the ANR method.[7] In 2012,[8] Waismann established an ANR unit for treatment of addiction in the Barzilai Medical Center.[9][10] In 2013, Waismann opened a clinic to treat addicts in the FMI hospital in Switzerland.[11] Waismann also served as a consultant for the ASA Bangasa foundation in Indonesia.[12]
Waismann also served as the medical director for addiction treatment in the LOGO center and San Raffaele Hospital in Italy.[13][14][15] In October 2018 Waismann was invited to speak at the United Nations human rights convention about methods to cope with the international opiates crisis[16][17][18]
ANR Method for treating opiate addiction
From 1993, Waismann started to treat opiate addiction using a relatively new technique named Ultra Rapid Opiate Detoxification (UROD).[19][20] This method was used until 1997, when Waismann redefined this treatment method and renamed it ANR - Accelerated Neuro-Regulation. The principle on which the ANR therapy is based is the acceleration of the withdrawal symptoms while the patient is under sedation to prevent redundant pain and suffering as a result from these withdrawal symptoms. When the patient is under deep sedation in an intensive care unit, specific drugs are used to block the additional opioid receptors caused by frequent opioid use that generate the craving for the drug in the brain.[21] During this time, the medical staff accelerates the regulation between the levels of endorphins and the opioid receptors until achieving a balance between them.[22] The ANR treatment method is currently conducted in a number of medical centers in India, Switzerland, Israel, and from 2019 in the state of Florida, USA.[23][24]
