Luule Viilma
Estonian physician (1950-2002)
Luule Viilma (6 April 1950 – 20 January 2002) was an Estonian doctor, esotericist and practitioner of alternative medicine. She is best known for her parapsychological book series Teaching of Survival (Ellujäämise õpetus) which outlined her supposed methods of healing by thought.
Biography
Viilma was born in Jõgeva and graduated from the Tartu State University in 1974 as a specialist of gynæcology. She practiced in Rapla Hospital and Haapsalu Hospital. In 1991, she started a private gynæcology practice. In the same year, she became acquainted with parapsychology, which led her to write extensively about supposed "thought healing" methods.
Viilma died in 2002 in a car crash near Kabli.

Why this record matters
The phrase “estonian physician (1950-2002)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3739262. VIAF identifies the subject as 84579664. The Library of Congress control number is no2012144322. 2 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1950, 2002, 1974 and 1991.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
