So Monsieur Vuichard, whoever and wherever you may be, it seems your 'technique' has been sent to room 101, never to see the light of day again.

It might have been an interesting idea if it wasn't for the 'apply full power' part which, as TC has highlighted will just make things worse in VRS and, since the definition of SWP is that you don't have any power left, is pointless when dealing with SWP.

Since modern rotor systems with bigger hinge offsets retain control power much better than teetering heads, it is possible that the lateral cyclic might help, but no more than forward cyclic will.

Application of pedal may or may not be effective but not as effective as pushing the nose down.

Short answer - stick to the basics as described by TC and others.
