Nanocycles method by S Afanasiev

I have in my possession a book in Russian which translated is called "Nanocycles Method" by S Afanasiev, Prof of Geology at Moscow University. It has references to studies in salt mines that determine very long strata dates and find certain cycles present. Afanasiev finds that the cycles are due to lunar orbital variations and as the lunar orbit is known rather accurately determines an accurate calibration system. As far as I know this method is unknown in the English speaking world. When I applied it to the Elatina formation cycles presented by G Williams, it shows that the several cycles present are exactly what are expected and accurately dates the formation. I would be happy to write something about this, but when I did so in wikipedia it was deleted because the people there had not heard of it. Of course they hadn't, it is in Russian.
