The technique became known again only after Sun Yat Sen's revolution, Humes adds. He learned of UFI massage when he read in a 1967 edition of the Larousse Encyclopedia that massage combined with liberal hashish use could help cure drug addiction.
In 1967 Humes was running a drug "detoxification center" in Rome. He at first tried to aid heroin addicts with just massage--but with few results. Then he used massage and cannabis--and the results "were spectacular."
The two biggest difficulties UFI faces are the negative associations people have with massage parlors and the "nolo me tangere [don't touch me] syndrome," Humes says.
These obstacles keep serious sufferers of "anxiety syndrome" from accepting UFI treatment, Humes says.
The anxiety tension problem is a nationwide epidemic "as serious as the bubonic plague," Humes says, explaining that a tension epidemic is more frightening "because the symptoms are harder to detect."
