You can't buy health! I never saw grandma cry

In the circle of scientists there are only two concepts: science and opinion. The former gives accurate knowledge of things, while the latter breeds ignorance. Therefore, the sacred should communicate only to enlightened people who are already sufficiently acquainted with the principles and importance of such subjects: but by no means convey the sacred to the profane until they have been initiated into the mysteries of science.

Very often the best medicine is to do without it.

Disease always comes either from an excess or from a deficiency, that is, from an imbalance.

Diseases that come from overwork are cured by rest, and those that come from idleness are cured by work.

Desperate, the patient brings himself closer to death.

Hippocrates examining a child. Hippocrates (circa 460 BC, between 377 and 356 BC), famous ancient Greek physician

No matter how excited the patient is, no matter what the reasons for this excitement are, the doctor, first of all, must calm the patient with his appearance and word.

The doctor should always encourage the patient.

Excessive food causes disease.

The treatment of a disease requires not only the skill of a doctor and medicine, but also a lot of care and affection towards the patient.

If you are unable to change your lifestyle, then no one and nothing will help you.

The doctor must always be calm.

Doctors, like philosophers, respect the gods. For although they can heal a lot, they, more than others, have the opportunity and opportunity to see and understand that there is much that surpasses their strength and skill, is accomplished by itself, not subject to anything but the will from above.

The disease does not fall on the head like a bolt from the blue. It is the result of constant violations of the laws of nature. Constantly expanding and accumulating, these disturbances suddenly erupt in the form of a disease, but this suddenness is only apparent.

The doctor must be polite and open to people, since severity makes him inaccessible to both the healthy and the sick.

The doctor must be prudent, and his prudence must always be noticeable, his prudence must be manifested both in the arrangement of his life and in trifles. And all this is necessary in order for people to believe him, because they can entrust their health only to someone who is respected, who has a good reputation and who has good fame. Only a proper life can bring a person good fame and make him respected by others.

The doctor should not be cowardly. The sick will not believe a person who is weak in spirit.

In the circle of scientists there are only two concepts: science and opinion. The former gives accurate knowledge of things, while the latter breeds ignorance. Therefore, the sacred should communicate only to enlightened people who are already sufficiently acquainted with the principles and importance of such subjects: but by no means convey the sacred to the profane until they have been initiated into the mysteries of science.

The study of medicine can be compared to farming; innate talent is the good soil of the earth; teacher's instructions are seeds; to begin early in the study of medicine is to sow seeds at a good and decent time of the year. Good morality is a well-dissolved air that nourishes the seeds and promotes their ripening. Love for the pursuit of one's science contains the significance of all the methods and labors necessary for the useful cultivation of the soil of the earth; finally, a considerable amount of time alone is able to bring all labors to a useful ripening.

In all fairness, medicine is the noblest of all sciences and arts. But from the ignorance of the people involved in it, or those who are not ashamed to boldly judge the doctor in an unconscious way, she, from a long time ago, began to lose her high dignity. Such a decline of it seems to be due to the fact that for the intervention of the ignorant in medicine, nowhere is a decent punishment assigned to them, except for dishonor, which has no effect on the dishonorable. Many of these people can be likened to actors who, although they take on the appearance of actors, dress like them and even act, but are not actors: it’s exactly the same with doctors - there are a lot of them by name, but very few in their case. .

When the brain is healthy and in a calm state, a person thinks sensibly.

The brain contains our mind, and madness, and insanity, and all our fears and horrors, including dreams, as well as all our abilities and negligence.

Work and rest heal the body and soul.

It is necessary to treat not only the disease, but also to counteract the causes that cause it.

Some diseases come only from lifestyle.

Nothing happens without a reason. If something happened, then you can be sure that there was a reason for it.

The wise do not seek entertainment, they know how to do business - that is, they are businesslike, in meetings of worthy people - they are serious, benevolent and always ready to answer the question, they are demanding to arguers. They are prudent and when meeting people like themselves, cautious in dealing with strangers. With everyone they are modest, restrained, when shouting they are silent, in answers they are witty, in speeches they are short. Always indulgent, ready for the noble use of the occasion. They are patient in waiting, content with little. Everything that they have managed to comprehend from the sciences, they are ready to give for general use, grateful and confident in a kind word, always pay attention to the truth in the subject that they are well aware of. Such are the wise.

Practical wisdom, directed to specific circumstances, becomes an art that leads to well-being and good fame.

Work, good spirits and the striving of the mind for perfection, for knowledge lead to results that adorn life.

Every business is improved by the mastery of technology. Every skill is gained by practice.

Fear and sadness, which have taken possession of a person for a long time, are conducive to illness.

Any excitement and strong manifestation of feelings is dangerous. In everything, a slow transition from one to another is important.

Any excess is contrary to nature.

Never put off treatment until later.

Burning yourself, shine to others.

Neither satiety, nor hunger, and nothing else is good if you transcend the measure of nature.

The human soul develops until death.

This will be of interest to you:

Gymnastics, physical exercises, walking should firmly enter the daily life of everyone who wants to maintain working capacity, health, a full and joyful life.

Persons who are daily subjected to labor endure them, even if they are weak and old, more easily than people who are strong and young, without habit.

The doctor heals, nature heals. published

YOUR LETTERS ARE THE MOST EXPENSIVE THING WE HAVE

SIMPLE AS A TURP

The messenger came to me in 1998. Before, I did not know about this newspaper. My knee joints are very sore - the veins on my left leg are inflamed - the result of a cold on agricultural work in late autumn in the 80s. Somehow I went with my illness to cry to a neighbor, and she gave me the number of the messenger and advised me to read. Now I constantly buy "ZOZH". True, I tried everything that is written about the treatment of joints, - unfortunately, nothing helped me radically. I temporarily relieve the pain with sunflower oil, however, I don’t remember from which issue in 1998 I took the recipe. The thing is, I gave my file to a woman whose husband had a stroke and never got it back. And I also have kerosene infused with green walnuts. Also a good tool. I rub it at night so as not to annoy anyone with the smell. I get up in the morning and am able to move.

And I decided to write to you after reading the article “The Commandments of the School of Hippocrates” about milk in No. 18. I do not agree with the article itself, and, most importantly, with its categorical nature. I am not a scientist, not a health worker, but just a building materials technologist and I don’t know what happens inside the body after drinking milk. However, I know from the experience of my life that during the war and after, in the difficult post-war years, the cow saved the whole family from starvation. And not only ours. Milk was, in fact, the only food after potatoes and bread. Until now, who are still alive, walk on their own feet and work. At the same time, I do not remember that we were ill with something during our school years. At that time (50s - 60s), the food was more natural, local, and we lived easier and more cheerfully. I had a mother-in-law, so she drank milk with sugar: 1/3 cup of sugar, and the rest - milk. True, she lost her teeth early, but her heart, legs, and liver never hurt. She herself mowed the meadow to old age, dug potatoes and lived, thank God, 89 years and 6 months.

A man lived in our house. Retired military. Often lay in the hospital - everything treated the heart. So one doctor advised him to eat granulated sugar. He started with a teaspoon, gradually added to a glass and "descended" back. Sugar cured the heart and lived up to 80 years without seizures. So, I think nutrition is different for every body.

Sorry for the letter. It probably goes against the grain. But I don't like it when they impose their ideas on others: sometimes vegetarianism, sometimes a raw food diet ... And why does the messenger so often refer to the opinion of foreign authorities? Do we, in Russia, do not have our own, to whom you can listen. I love Russia very much, I was born here, I grew up here on my own bread and milk, I breathe my native air here. I love our forests, rivers, meadows, people, and I am always indignant when people treat their native nature in a barbaric way - after all, it gives us life. I like to wander through the forests, collect herbs, mushrooms, berries. Especially in autumn... I always remember Pushkin's poems:

Sad time! Oh charm!

I like your farewell beauty

I love the magnificent nature of wilting,

In crimson and gold-clad forests.

In their vestibule there is noise and fresh breath...

And I forget the world - and in sweet silence

I am sweetly lulled by my imagination,

And poetry awakens in me ... "

Here it is - truly native!

P.S. As one woman once said to John the Theologian at a sermon: “You are a true preacher, Chrysostom, but your sermons are not clear to us, you speak too cleverly.” I sometimes want to say the same words to the messenger: “Your articles are good, but they are not for the minds of many pensioners, the diagnoses of diseases are written in a scientific way and, when reading, it is not clear what hurts a person, but the newspaper is read by people who do not have a medical education . Once again, sorry for the letter. It turned out to be long, and maybe not so ... I wish the Herald to get fat, add credibility and subscribers.

"ZOZH": The reader in bewilderment may ask the question: "Why did you, in fact, publish this letter? It is, so to speak, anti-scientific. Sugar - glasses, milk - liters."

It is truly anti-scientific. But it reflects the opinion of a large part of our readers, ordinary people who will never understand why they suddenly started talking about the dangers of milk or the dangers of sugar. Now is not the time to explain why, especially since we have explained it more than once. But this is a point of view. She exists. And we would like to wish Lyudmila Zakharovna good health, if only for the love that she feels for Russia. As for milk, it is sold in abundance in the most civilized countries. If it's for sale, then it's for sale. What about science?.. Science says that you should drink it with caution. Especially adults and the elderly. You can't argue against science, as they say. Well, you decide on your own.

I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOU

(UPPER RESPIRATORY QATAR, INFLUENZA, ANGINA, LUNG INFLAMMATORY, RHINITIS, OTITIS, BRONCHOPNEUMONIA. TREATMENT OF UPPER RESPIRATORY QATAR, INFLUENZA, ANGINA, LUNG INFLAMMATORY, BRONCHOPNEUMONIA)

It so happened that I only learned about the healthy lifestyle bulletin last year. I'm sorry that so much time has been wasted. Will have to make up. And now - about myself: Orlova Maria Filippovna, recently turned 80 years old. See, you have to hurry! A medical worker, she graduated from the Barnaul obstetrical feldsher school and, as an excellent student, ended up in. Voronezh Medical Institute. After 2 courses - war, and I - at the front. She went through the hell of war in a sapper battalion. She rose to the rank of senior lieutenant of the medical service. After being wounded and severely shell-shocked at the age of 23, he became a disabled person of the 2nd group. Plus, she picked up tuberculosis from the front.

No, I didn't give up. Having “deceived” people, myself, nature, I managed to work by hook or by crook for more than 40 years. I missed all the official and non-traditional medicine through myself, and I have something to say. However, I am going to write only about what I myself experienced, and what helped me and my loved ones. What do we encounter most often? With colds. And with what we are not treated, being poisoned by "chemistry".

Meanwhile, everything ingenious is simple and - I will add - accessible. Nature itself gave us a natural antibiotic - aspen. It does not just kill, it mows down the microbial evil spirits in our body.

Recipe. Before bud break (April, May), it is necessary to collect buds and bark, preferably from a young aspen. There are fewer kidneys: 1 part and 3-4 parts of the bark. Everything is dried in the shade. The bark is passed through a meat grinder, and the kidneys through a coffee grinder. Alcohol tincture is made 1:10. If on alcohol, infused for 2 weeks; on vodka - 3-4 weeks. The liquid must be constantly shaken and kept in a dark place. After the specified period, the tincture is ready for use. Take according to age. Adults 30 to 40 drops 3 times a day, ny. Children from 7-10 drops to 15-20 drops - by age.

It treats all colds: catarrh of the upper respiratory tract, flu, tonsillitis, pneumonia, rhinitis, otitis and the like. There is evidence that aspen even overcomes pathogens of diphtheria, dysentery and typhoid fever.

I have perfectly cured children with bronchopneumonia (where medicine did not help well), in a short time, especially when I connected hot wraps according to Zalmanov (but this is only in severe cases). I myself have long forgotten what it is to catch a cold and get sick, although in the recent past I was sick 5-6 times a year, and my nose rarely breathed normally.

Of course, I didn't open anything. This has long been known. We - children - were treated like that by our parents. They simply brewed aspen and added honey to the contents (this is bitter). Of course, the question is ripening: why is our health care silent about aspen? One smart person answered a similar question to me: "Then you will have to close more than one pharmaceutical plant. And this is a business, and money rules the world! And what about health? Save yourself, whoever can!"

And another piece of advice: do not pounce on the poor aspen barbarously. This is the most intelligent tree - it grows only in ecologically clean areas. As a Siberian, I know what kind of aspen thickets there are. But in the Moscow region, the aspen has disappeared, and if there is one, then it is sick.

Address: 121359, Moscow, st. Ak. Pavlova, 1,2, bldg. 1, apt. 27. Orlova Maria Filippovna.

ZOZH: We hope that this letter from Maria Filippovna is only the beginning. If you have something to say, you should say it! We are waiting for the continuation.

LOVE FLOWERS AND STARRY NIGHTS

In 1997, I subscribed to "ZOZH" on the advice of my friends, and now I myself advise everyone to subscribe to the newspaper.

I am 63 years old, disabled of the second group. My whole life is a struggle with a bunch of diseases. The appendix and gallbladder were removed. Well, then angina pectoris, ischemia, arrhythmia, widespread osteochondrosis with unbearable retrosternal pain. Constant weakness and pain in the legs ... Later, doctors discovered a cyst and stones in the kidney ...

Under the influence of "healthy lifestyle" I began to do a little bit of everything, at the same time listening to my body and, as it were, studying it. I re-read Malakhov, Bragg, Shelton, Semenov, Ivanov, Bolotov, Gogulan ... Finally settled on the system of exercises according to K. Nishi. When I started to master, I thought that I would go to a psychiatric hospital. It seemed to me that I would never overcome these six exercises with the text "I feel good, and every day it will be easier for me ...". However, I gradually got over it. After 2 months, chest pains disappeared, the cause of which the doctors could not explain. Then the arrhythmia and shortness of breath disappeared, the pressure returned to normal.

Now I walk briskly 5 times a week for 2-5 km a day, not counting trips to the market and shopping. On the crossbar in the doorway I pull myself up (if possible carefully) 2-5 times. I love flowers and starry nights. My husband and I have a garden plot where we spend our leisure time. I love this quiet corner with a green lawn where you can relax and meditate...

In conclusion, I want to say: we must rely only on ourselves. And don't stop half way. Skills will come, good mood will come.

KEROSIN REALLY HELPED

(RHEUMATOIC POLYARTHRITIS, TREATMENT OF RHEUMATIC POLYARTHRITIS)

I am a disabled person of the first group due to rheumatic polyarthritis. Since 1970, I have been treated with bicillin, penicillin and hormonal drugs. Finally, crutches. Official medicine turned out to be powerless: I drank ortofen - you can move around a little for 3-4 hours, the time of action has passed - you are again a living corpse on the bed. But the recipe from "ZOZH" really helped me. She began to feel much better when she underwent a course of treatment with green walnuts on purified kerosene - the ROE dropped to 16.

And I am also very grateful to the messenger for interviews with hereditary herbalists. There are fewer of them left on earth.

EXCITED AND AMAZING THE FATE OF PEOPLE

I have been writing the newsletter for two years. And I'm so used to it that I can't wait for the next issue. "Healthy lifestyle" has become a reference book for me and for my daughter. But the husband and son with the daughter-in-law (both, by the way, doctors) are not interested.

First of all, I read the section “Respond!” I am excited and amazed by the fate of people. Behind the diagnoses, by the way, those that you sometimes don’t find in textbooks on medicine (I am also a doctor), I see people’s suffering. And I think: “How ignorant we are!” It makes you want to scream; “Why don’t you read, don’t read the materials of “ZOZH”, where almost all of your questions have answers?!”

I involuntarily link the materials of the bulletin with the laws, traditions, and problems of official medicine. I'm outraged! And I scream from my impotence to influence the situation. The only thing I can do is after I listen to the complaints of my patients (they still come to me, although I am already 67 years old), to advise them to subscribe to the HLS newsletter, which, in a related way, listens sensitively to readers, makes it possible to correspond with people of our vast Russia (and not only Russia), to share useful tips. And most importantly, it inspires faith in life, teaches how to overcome ailments, difficulties on the way to a healthy lifestyle, and helps to survive.

I am a sick person. After retiring, she took up cattle breeding and gardening with her husband. I do my small business both with pleasure and out of need - I help unemployed children. I learned to survive and survive difficulties from childhood. It took place in the Kuban during the war and after. That time and the present are similar. The country is in ruins. I'm not afraid for myself. Scary for the youth.

Well, now some practical tips for survival from my own experience.

Instead of expensive washing powders, you can use lye, which is made from wood ash. Especially good lye is obtained from aspen firewood and sunflower stems. I haven't bought powder in a long time. I wash with plain soap and lye. And great! The skin of the hands does not suffer and the money is safer.

From the many tips and recipes, you need to choose what currently suits you. For example, once a week in the bath I rub myself with salt. 10 minutes each. I rub my whole body - from ears to feet. Then I rinse. I wash my hair separately with soap and shampoo. I lie down in bed, wrap myself in clean linen, warmly cover myself and sweat. If I have enough strength, I rinse again with warm water. I don’t eat anything before the bath, I take a no-shpy pill for two hours. After the bath, I drink tea. So I've been on it for six months now. What do I have? Improved skin turgor

all joints are more mobile, it is easier for the heart, kidneys, I feel healthier.

NEVER SEEN GRANDMA CRYING

I read the "Editor's Column" in Bulletin No. 15 (147) and decided to respond. Materials such as "Green Willow" are a must.

I think everyone is interested in knowing about our roots, how our great-grandfathers lived, what kind of life they had and how they survived. After all, it has never been easy to live in Rus', and perhaps such articles will be a recipe for survival in our time. Survival optimism is also a cure! Reading about our ancestors, you involuntarily admire their ability not to whimper, but to look for a way out of the situation. Exit worthy, calm, stubborn. They had some wisdom, which, unfortunately, is not now.

My grandmother had 14 children. Grandfather died of starvation after the war. I want to say that I have never seen my grandmother crying. She did not raise her voice to anyone, did not swear at anyone. She was always confident and collected. And she worked slowly, calmly, laconic. Lived 99 years. All complained: "In the other world, all the rakes broke, they are looking for me, and I'm here." I still admire her tenacity to this day. Although life has not been easy.

"HOLY CEDAR"

I am disabled of the first group (severe degree of anemia and hyperthyroidism). I have been writing the newsletter for three years. I am very glad that it unites all people suffering from various ailments, both physical and mental. It is the “healthy lifestyle” that gives hope for recovery to everyone who at some point has come to terms with his fate as a disabled person and an eternal sufferer.

By sharing traditional medicine recipes that have been tried and tested on ourselves and others, we help each other find hope and find our own path to a healthy lifestyle. I remember that in one of the letters there was a remark in the sense that (that all recipes can be found in the flow of medical literature of the current book market, but the author apparently forgot about the cost of books. Today only wealthy people can afford them, and “healthy lifestyle” is available to everyone The value of the materials printed here is that we are treated by the main healers of the Earth: Mother Nature, the divine Word, age-old folk wisdom and doctors from God.

According to the HLS recipes, I develop a treatment for myself every month, which prolongs my life. I share my knowledge with sick people and give lectures for healthy people. After all, it is better to prevent a disease than to treat it for years.

If there is a forest in your area, take your family or friends for a walk for health - you will be richly rewarded.

I would especially like to draw attention to the healing pantry of coniferous forests. They are unique: everything is healing in them - the air you breathe, fallen needles, cedar cones, a transparent resinous tear on the bark of a mighty cedar.

The bulletin has already published recipes using the gifts of these forests (tinctures from walnut husks, coniferous baths, ointments using resin, and so on). I would like to continue the topic.

In cotton clothes, roll over the coniferous cover - and a cosmetic compress for your body is ready, and annoying insects will fly around you. In a puddle or stream filled with needles, walk barefoot - here is a coniferous bath, a cold will leave you.

Nuts will satisfy the protein deficiency of the body. At home, you can get cedar oil. Take a tablespoon three times a day before meals - this will relieve your body of pain in the stomach, increase immunity, improve blood hemoglobin. Use the mass obtained after squeezing the nut grains as a food additive in soups, meat dishes, and baked goods. Your guests will be enchanted by these dishes. Most importantly, do not forget to leave empty cones: they can work wonders. Steam them in a saucepan and you can enjoy the smell of a coniferous forest all year long without even leaving your home (recommended for people with limited mobility). Do inhalations if you have a cold, and use the water decoction for baths and baths. There will be no harm from these procedures, only benefit, and pep will increase.

A cone dried in the sun or in the oven will be a good iplicator and home massage therapist for you. Fold the dried cones into a bag made of natural dense fabric, sew it up, put it on the floor, lie down on this ruffy “rug”. Do not forget, by the way, to turn on pleasant music ... Make a relaxed body turns to the right, to the left, stretch, if you wish, then just “dance” with your back to the sounds of music, as far as your imagination allows. Then you can do this while standing on the "mat" with bare feet. This type of massage is suitable for both adults and children.

Broken branches or young trees that have been killed by someone should not be left to dry in the forest. Make a panel out of them or sew a healing bath rug. Do the sketches yourself, just do not forget that when you make blanks, the thickness of the round parts should not be less than 2 cm, and it is advisable to always leave the longitudinal ones with the bark. Thanks to the coniferous rug, your children will never have flat feet, it also treats neuroses.

Suck resinous "tears" of cedar - all microbes will be destroyed, gums will be strengthened. Children can mix the resin with honey (in a water bath), then cool in the refrigerator and give as chewing gum or "healing candy". If a child swallows it, there is no big trouble. Make wood toys for your children, coniferous brooms for a bath, etc. After all, in the old days all toys were made from natural materials (wood, straw, bark), natural fabrics (linen, cotton). Maybe this was the secret of Russian prowess and heroic power.

Items made from coniferous trees will serve you for 2-3 years - about the same time they retain their healing properties. Then make new ones, and collect the obsolete “age”, dry it and, inviting friends, kindle a fire so that they can say goodbye to you with a warm, living flame. And you thank them for the health they gave you.

All the above recipes are just a small part of the memo I compiled, which is called "Sacred Cedar". It is bought by both the sick and the healthy. If you can add something to this memo, you will help people even more. For example, I continue to work on it, supplementing it with new recipes that I have tested on myself.

CONVERSATIONS WITH PROFESSOR IVANCHENKO

Lymph nodes - bastions of the body

So there is only one advice for you: read Ivanchenko carefully. And references to the lack of medical education, as well as the latter in general, do no honor and do not serve as an excuse. There is such a thing - self-education, an irrepressible craving for knowledge. Moreover, in this case, the subject of knowledge is yourself. In this regard, many of our readers have truly succeeded and today they will not yield to other certified physicians. Conversations with Ivanchenko are the path along this path.

Yes, you seem to have already shared everything, - I muttered gloomily, because the first number did not add up, and then there was the professor with his eternal “Parisian secrets”.

In this case, answer me, why do we need lymph nodes? - Professor pretended to miss the replica deaf ears.

Why, why... So you tell me "why". Probably to gather lymphocytes into a fist to fight viruses, bacteria and other rubbish ...

Well, that's too close. Let's go in order ... Lymph nodes are the main organ of the antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal and generally anti-infective defense of the body. I hope you know this.

Well, basically...

Then let's go further. The role of the lymph nodes varies depending on the age of the person. In childhood, this is protection against infection, because already in children there is a primary introduction of staphylococci, streptococci, mycoplasmas, chlamydia, candida, on which active lymphocytes are formed in the lymph nodes that produce protective antibodies. But did you know that the tonsils are, in essence, the same lymph nodes, only in contact with the external environment? They have the same lymphoid tissue... And another question, as they say, "on the backfill": can you name the main organ of the body's anti-stress defense?

Um, probably the nervous system. After all, all the stresses are piled on her?

The nervous system in this case is just a superstructure. The main blow of a stress attack falls again on the lymph nodes. It is known that under the influence of stress, the adrenal cortex releases special hormones glucocorticoids into the blood. So, the latter suppress the lymphoid tissue, causing its depletion and atrophy. The more stress, the more exhausted the lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, tonsils, appendix. In old age, with increasing stress, the situation worsens. That is why it is during this period that tumors develop, and infections proceed sluggishly, with a low temperature and are almost untreatable.

But there must be some kind of anti-stress protection?

Alas, not much money. The most effective among them are meditation, auto-training, moods like those offered by Nikolai Sytin, some physical exercises - jogging, swimming, walking. Winter swimming can also be included here. That is, everything that gives positive emotions.

Don't you think that this is a different topic?

And I'm not going to develop it. I remember very well that today we are talking about lymph nodes.

By the way, what are they?

Figuratively, these are bags stuffed with lymphocytes and lymphoblasts.

Lymphoblasts? Something new.

We'll talk about this. Here's a new fact for you. It turns out that in children, the primary infection with chlamydia occurs not through sexual contact, but from ... cats. Now even a special "Cat-scratch disease" has been described. This is an inflammation of the lymph nodes caused by chpamidia penetrating through damaged skin: scratches, bites. In their place, pustules develop, and then inflammation: local lymph nodes swell, the temperature rises. Nobody thinks about a cat, a small problem is an abscess. But after a few years, parents are at a loss: where does chlamydia come from in the genitourinary system and other organs of the child? And no antibiotics are taken. The fact is that if the infection has got into the lymph nodes, then the so-called reaction of blast transformation of lymphocytes occurs in them. It lies in the fact that rejuvenation of lymphocytes occurs, that is, their transformation into younger cells - lymphoblasts.

It turns out that in order to “rejuvenate”, you need to pick up an infection?

This is surprising. And a very interesting mechanism. It turns out that upon receipt of foreign substances - antigens, blood lymphocytes, contacting with them, perceive antigenic information from them and straight to the lymph nodes, where they transfer it to the lymphocytes of the lymph nodes. In the latter, a blast-transformation reaction occurs with an increase in temperature, swelling of the glands, reddening of the skin over them, and the like. Doctors are looking for hidden foci of a dormant infection (SODI), but they can’t find it in any way. About cat scratches, which were many years ago, have long been forgotten. But it is they who then manifest themselves in the form of many infectious and allergic diseases such as lupus erythematosus, prolonged septic endocarditis, rheumatism, polyarthritis, splenitis (enlargement and inflammation of the spleen), lymphadenitis (inflammation of the lymph nodes) and others.

And the cause of all the cat scratch?

Naturally, I exaggerated somewhat, outlined the worst option. But look how many children walk with lymphadenitis. At least the submandibular lymph nodes. We are so accustomed to this that it is taken for granted the presence of chronic tonsillitis or adenoids in children. For many years they walk with enlarged, swollen glands behind the ears or under the arms, and these are the sources of all the same chronic diseases - collagenoses such as rheumatoid arthritis and even severe systemic diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease ... Few people know that pain in on the left side are often associated not with the pancreas, but are the result of an enlarged spleen (as well as lymph nodes) due to a chronic viral, microbial infection. The same chlamydia enter the walls of blood vessels and provoke the deposition of cholesterol on them. Here is the development of atherosclerosis. And then - coronary heart disease, heart attack and stroke.

Yes, these very scratches lead to gloomy thoughts. But if these scratches have taken place, then how to be treated? I foresee in advance a reference to the fact that with the help of the CRD in your center you find the cause, then destroy chlamydia and other evil spirits with the help of the CRT.

Here you did not guess. In our Center (095-919-84-40), to identify the causes of infectious and allergic diseases, methods have been developed to determine not only chlamydial infection, but also food allergens, environmental toxins (various pollutants that weaken the lymphatic system), stressors and even mental attacks.

Can readers do something similar themselves?

Not completely, but something is possible. For example, you can use the recommendations of the American professor Robert Atkins, who treats in his hospital (for 10 thousand people!) In New York, almost all of the above diseases only ... with food supplements.

For example, you can use the following recipe: vitamin C (ascorbic acid) - 3-6 g per day, vitamin A - 20-40 thousand IU

(international units), vitamin E-400-800 ME, vitamin B6- 100-200 mg, selenium - 200-400 mcg, para-aminobenzoic acid - 500-1500 mg.

In addition to this, linseed oil - 1 teaspoon 3 times a day before meals, pantothenic acid - 600-1200 mg per day, as well as a number of herbs - licorice root (decoction at the rate of 1 teaspoon per glass of water, boil for 15 minutes, insist 1 hour) and an infusion of milk thistle herb (prepared at the rate of 1 tablespoon per glass of boiling water, leave for an hour, strain). Herbs drink one third of a glass 3 times a day before meals.

Having visited the Atkins hospital, I was convinced in reality that his words were right. By the way, we also tried to use nutritional supplements. Indeed, they help in 50-70 percent of cases with many infectious-allergic and even autoimmune diseases. There is only one important nuance: the above recipe is basic. In addition to it, individual inclusions of those substances that are not enough for a particular patient are necessary. Atkins, for example, the missing additives such as cobalt, nickel, copper are determined by a blood test. In our Center - with the help of CRD. In principle, this is a huge problem for Russia ...

Maybe you have something else to offer for the treatment of such serious diseases?

For many years I have been using the method of squeezing the lymph nodes.

Is it possible to massage swollen lymph nodes?

Curious question. Until recent years, recommendations were considered classic, prohibiting all kinds of mechanical influences (for example, massage) with lymphadenitis. It was believed that this could contribute to the spread of infection. However, recent studies by St. Petersburg scientists disproved this axiom. In chronic lymphadenitis, they carried out deep (!) compression of the lymph nodes and got excellent results.

But it must be very painful, right?

Of course, pressing is done to the maximum tolerable pain. Usually at first these are trial shallow pressures (5-10 seconds), then their strength increases, and at the end of the session they are maximum. This is something like a deep self-massage that lasts 30-40 seconds. Then rest - one or two minutes. Let's move on to the next lymph node. Again: pressure and rest. In general, no more than 4-5 groups of lymph nodes per session (for example, submandibular, parotid, occipital and axillary). The pressure itself is done either with the thumbs or with 2-3-4 fingers of both hands brought together, as a rule, symmetrically and simultaneously on both sides.

I have read several massage manuals, and everywhere it is written that you need to bypass the lymph nodes and generally massage only in the direction of the lymph flow, that is, from the periphery of the limb to the center.

This is true for Western massage. The peculiarity of the deep pressing method is that it is done under the protection of antiseptic, anti-inflammatory herbs. This will prevent the spread of infection. For example, you can use the triad I proposed (tansy, cloves, wormwood), described in "HLS" No. 8 for 1999. Another way is to use the anti-inflammatory antiseptic collection No. 308, also proposed by me. It consists of the following plants: licorice root (powder) - 1 teaspoon, elecampane tall (rhizome and root) - 1 teaspoon, dandelion root - 1 teaspoon, burdock root - 1 tablespoon. Pour the crushed roots with 1.5 cups of water, simmer, leave for 2 hours, strain. Drink 1/3 cup 3 times a day half an hour before meals. From the second day, you can start cautious, and every day more and more deep pressure.

What does this method give?

In my practice, cases of curing lymphadenitis, asthma, polyarthritis, hypertension, depression, angina and others are not uncommon using this method. Interestingly, it also helps with many dystrophic diseases. For example, paradontosis, hepatosis (fatty liver), pancreatosis (pancreatic dystrophy) and so on.

And the last question that readers often ask: is it possible to recover from chronic diseases for life?

Some scientists express the opinion that a person gets sick on average hundreds or even thousands (!) of times in his life. Indeed, almost daily an avalanche of microbes, ecotoxins, stresses falls on him. They cause chronic diseases of civilization. Therefore, a modern pampered person is practically almost constantly sick.

What is the way out?

First, eliminate all of the above causes of chronic diseases. Secondly, to use hardening more widely: not only with the sun, air, water, but also with food, in a word, with various fields - magnetic, electromagnetic, geopathogenic ...

This, in fact, is the essence of my wish to the readers of "ZOZH" in the new year: try to become environmentally friendly, hardened physically, mentally strong people. Then you will not be afraid of any viruses, germs and stress for life.

WE DO NOT INVENT ANYTHING, OUR READERS

ESPECIALLY

IN THE XXI CENTURY, Alas, WITH THE OLD TOPIC

Sadly, but the step into the new millennium does not at all save us from the saddest topic on the pages of the messenger - oncology. Let's face it, we have a wealth of material on this subject in our portfolio, from theoretical research to treatments that use herbs, diets, faith, and much, much more.

Literally until recently, we preferred Shevchenko's method - the treatment of cancer with a mixture of vodka and unrefined sunflower oil. Even today we remain true to this method, because letters from readers convince us of its certain effectiveness. Alas, today there is no panacea for the plague of the 20th century, even in official medicine. There is no need to talk about the folk. Another glaring misfortune is that official medicine - the one that really alleviates the situation with cancer - is extremely expensive and beyond the reach of the vast majority of our readers. These people can only hope for God, the reserve capabilities of their body and those same folk methods.

This is not so little. Tincture of hemlock, celandine, fungus, fly agaric, milestone poisonous ... Actually, folk remedies for the treatment of cancer are more than enough. Much less brilliant healers. There was such a grandfather, Mikhail Vasilyevich Golyuk. Treated cancer with herbs. Was Valery Tishchenko. Treated cancer with hemlock tincture. Golyuk died, and Tishchenko is now in America. Sent a letter to ZOZH. He complained that he was not understood in Russia, but whether he really cured anyone, who knows. We have not received a single letter from people treated with hemlock tincture, although it is possible that there are successful experiences of such treatment. Mikhail Petrovich Todika lived in Chisinau. An amazing person who treated many diseases, including cancer, with green walnut tincture on purified kerosene. In the near future, we will undoubtedly continue this topic, because the drug Todika really relieves the suffering of people with many diseases. Klavdia Khabarova sent us a detailed letter from Voronezh, who was being treated exactly according to the Todik method, with the help of Moscow oncologist Dmitry Nikolaevich Vasiliev. We will probably publish the letter in the next issue. We also contacted Vasiliev. So the treatment of cancer by the method of Todik, we hope, will also come into service with our readers. Well, today let's turn to our already favorite drug - Shevchenko's mixture, which readers constantly write about. Let's repeat this once again: the mixture is not a panacea. Along with positive experience, there are many negative examples. In the same way, however, as in official medicine. Therefore, you make the choice yourself. We only publish lines from the letters of our readers. At the same time, we do not invent anything, and it makes no sense for them to invent.

THE DOCTOR LISTENED AND DID NOT BELIEVE

(CANCER, ONCOLOGY. CANCER TREATMENT, ONCOLOGY)

I wish happiness, health and joy to everyone who prepares a healthy lifestyle, Nikolai Viktorovich Shevchenko. You have restored my father's faith in himself. To him

77 years old. In the spring, I began to notice that he had a hoarse voice. He did not experience any pain, did not complain about anything, and categorically refused to see a doctor. When we finally forced him to do it, it turned out that he had stage 3 laryngeal cancer.

I myself am a paramedic. In 1996, my mother died of ovarian cancer. After her death, I became more interested in everything related to cancer. I got acquainted, of course, with the Shevchenko method.

Dad was irradiated for a whole month and a half. In the end, the doctors said that there was nothing else to help him, and if he wanted to live, then he needed to be operated on. My father is a man with a strong character. In the hospital, I saw enough of all those operated on, especially for cancer of the larynx. I took it and refused. I returned home on June 15, and on the 16th I already drank the “medicine”. In September - this is almost two months later - I showed it to our "hospital" ENT doctor, and he was very surprised that most of the tumor had disappeared. A month later, we went to oncology, and there the doctor who offered my father an operation said that everything was clear in his throat. I told her how and with what my father was treated. She listened, lowering her eyes, and did not show much interest in the story. Well, God bless her. Just how many people could help with advice.

I myself drink now once a day the mixture, as it were, for prevention. Even writing is uncomfortable, but my chronic constipation (about 20 years) has passed. Significantly decreased and varicose veins on the legs. I continue to drink the mixture.

Now I have a convincing request about my father: what should he do next? Keep drinking or quit?

S. Tretyakov. Krasnoyarsk region

"ZOZH": This is, in fact, the eternal question - what to do next? Unfortunately, due to the huge number of letters, Shevchenko stopped consulting with us. Doctors Vladimir Sergeevich Nuzhdov and Pavel Vladimirovich Khoroshev help the messenger today in this work. But we know very well what Shevchenko would say in such a case: keep drinking. Our consultants adhere to the same point of view. As for the address of S. Tretyakova, it is in the editorial office.

WE WISHED EACH OTHER HEALTH

(MELANOMA, CANCER, ONCOLOGY. TREATMENT OF MELANOMA, CANCER, ONCOLOGY)

I am 56 years old. Disabled person of the 2nd group for oncological disease. Melanoma. There were three operations, four chemo. When I arrived at the fifth, they didn’t do it - there was too bad a blood test. They offered a transfusion - I refused. I am allergic to many medicines.

My daughter took me home. At that time I could not even walk. I myself am a paramedic by profession. She worked in medicine for 33 years. But trouble has touched - and like a blind kitten: how to help yourself, with what?

Before that, I read a lot about alternative medicine. The first books - Valentina Travinka. They helped me mentally. I was treated according to Malakhov for a year and a half, and then Maya Gogulan's book “Say goodbye to illnesses” fell into my hands. I think this book saved me. I began to drink the juices of herbs, salads, berries, fruits - fortunately, it was summer - and my blood began to recover little by little.

I did everything, as it is written in the book, according to the Katsuzo Nishi system: a hard bed, exercises, a contrast shower up to 11 times a day, juices, separate meals. By the way, the composition of juices depends on the season. In spring and summer - dandelion leaves, nettle, chicory, spinach, celery, carrots - everything that is in the garden. In autumn - rowan berries, apples, carrots, cabbage, beets, pumpkins, zucchini. In winter - viburnum, chokeberry, all the same carrots, beets, cabbage.

After three months of such treatment, I went to my oncologist, told me how I got up, and she supported me: “You found your treatment.” Two years have passed since the last operation, and a year and a half after the last chemotherapy. I understand that it is too early to draw any conclusions. But I walk, work around the house, do absolutely everything and feel like a normal person. I live! The Lord God helps me. I firmly believe in my healing and pray.

P.S. Today I met a woman. Three years ago she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Prepared for the operation. In the department, someone gave her a healthy lifestyle bulletin to read, which spoke about Shevchenko's method. She believed in this method and left the oncology dispensary. He drinks "30 + 30", strictly adheres to a diet, goes to see an oncologist as an outpatient, works, looks great, all tests are normal. We wished each other health.

V.G. Nizhny Novgorod region.

"ZOZH": The author of the letter asked not to give her address and not to call her. Yes, in fact, about vodka with butter - only the last paragraph. Nevertheless, we publish the letter, because it is full of optimism and faith in victory. And there is no doubt that victory will come, because the author of the letter is doing everything right. Diet, juice therapy, faith in healing, hardening, support for loved ones - all this and much more will certainly pour water into the mill of success.

CANCER CAN BE PREVENTED AND CURED

TRY TO KILL TWO HARES

(CANCER, ONCOLOGY. CANCER TREATMENT, ONCOLOGY)

Recently, in materials about the treatment and prevention of cancer, we have been paying a lot of attention to diet. And this is no coincidence. Today, the vast majority of doctors and medical scientists involved in the problems of oncological diseases directly link their occurrence and development with malnutrition. Of course, this is not the only reason for the disaster that has befallen humanity, but it is very significant. There is every reason to believe that in the method of N. Shevchenko, at least 50 percent of success belongs to the diet he proposed. In this regard, it will be useful for our readers to get acquainted with the views of foreign experts on the relationship between diet and breast cancer. The material was prepared by our correspondent Elena Pecherskaya.

The diet that you choose for yourself, of course, is not the only factor that can prevent or accelerate the development of breast cancer. However, this is what is most dependent on you. So why not make the most of the opportunities that open up? First of all, studies on diet and cancer show that you should consume as many vegetables and fruits as possible. If this is difficult for you for some reason, drink more fresh vegetable juices. In addition, there is every reason to believe that foods high in beta-carotene reduce the risk of developing a tumor. Therefore, orange-colored fruits and vegetables (carrots, pumpkins, apricots or dried apricots), as well as dishes and juices from them, should take pride of place on your table.

Equally important are vegetables from the extensive cruciferous family. All types of cabbage are good, but especially broccoli, which contains indole-3-carbinol, an estrogen-lowering hormone that has been linked to breast cancer.

Tomatoes should not be overlooked because they contain the beneficial substance lycopene, which also lowers the risk of developing cancer.

Of all types of fish, salmon is the most useful, especially rich in omega-3 fatty acids. According to some data, women whose tissues contain large amounts of these acids are less prone to cancer.

Components called limonoids are found in the skin and white skin of an orange. Under laboratory conditions, these substances have a depressing effect on cancer cells. Interestingly, they end up in the finished orange juice due to the strong compression of the fruit during its manufacture. So, this is also your possible ally in the fight against formidable danger!

Alas, refined white flour and similar products can contribute to the onset of the disease. Therefore, it is recommended to saturate your menu with whole grains and especially bran as much as possible. Bran can reduce the level of estrogen, which provokes the development of a tumor.

A special component that is part of green tea slows down the growth of malignant cells in laboratory animals. Therefore, this healthy and thirst-quenching drink should become a familiar part of the menu.

Women in Mediterranean countries, where they traditionally consume a lot of olive oil, are less likely to get breast cancer, as evidenced by statistics. Use this healthy and tasty type of oil to season ready meals.

Ordinary garlic kills cancer cells in the laboratory. However, if you want to achieve an effective therapeutic effect, we advise you to use only "aged garlic". Before adding it to the cooking dish, peel and chop the cloves, and then

let them lie down like this for 10-15 minutes. In order for the components that can fight malignant cells to “ripen” in garlic, it takes time.

Stop consuming margarine. Most varieties of this product include an extremely harmful type of fat obtained artificially from vegetable oil. These fats may increase the risk of developing breast cancer.

Use flaxseed oil to season ready meals. The lignans contained in it stop the growth of mammary tumors in laboratory animals.

Drink low fat milk. Why not fat free? - you ask. Because one of the components of milk fat is a special acid that slows down the growth of tumor tissue in experimental conditions and in laboratory animals.

Yes, a diet is not a 100% guarantee of success. But, meanwhile, according to the British Medical Journal, about 80 percent of breast cancer cases are associated with malnutrition. And one more thing: a diet composed according to the proposed principles helps to fight not only tumors, but also diseases of the cardiovascular system. Thus you kill two birds with one stone!

"ZOZH": It may very well be that some of our readers, especially pensioners, the material will seem like a kind of mockery. What kind of diet is there for 400-500 rubles, of which you need to pay part of the utility bills and allocate some funds for the pharmacy?!

And yet ... Carrots are practically everywhere. Pumpkin? You can afford a kilogram of pumpkin for a week, but it is better to grow it in the garden. In Russia, it is more difficult with apricots, but you can get by with cheap varieties of dried apricots.

Broccoli is practically inaccessible to ordinary people, but ordinary broccoli is also very good. It is clear that tomatoes do not fall on every table in winter. But it is known for sure that lycopene perfectly tolerates heat treatment. Because tomato paste is even better than "live" fruits.

The objection, of course, will cause olive oil. Use linen. If it is, moreover, cold pressed, then there is no price for it! A teaspoon in the morning and in the evening - prevention not only from cancer ...

So, friends, wind your head and "get out", based on Russian conditions.

NOTES OF A RURAL HELP

HOW TO KEEP THE COLD IN THE HOUSE

In fact, today there is no more relevant topic than the flu. However, what does up-to-date mean? The flu is on the way. Surrounded us on all sides. And in the western part of Russia, and in the east. Some new, very nasty strain. The Western media sow a slight panic, reporting deaths, however, mainly among the elderly. In Moscow, Grippferon is heavily advertised in the press. There are wild queues behind him in pharmacies. Everything that appears, in very, by the way, limited quantities, is snapped up immediately. Meanwhile, doctors close to HLS say that Grippferon is a little better than human interferon, and they simply “sneezed” on the last flu. They call a certain effective French drug, but it costs a lot of money. In connection with the impending danger, we decided to repeat the material of Nikolai Nikolayevich Shtab, which was published last year at about the same time: the same flimsy winter mixed with thaws, high humidity, a warning about the possible arrival of influenza - however, the flu did not come then, which - got scared. But today it's making up for lost time. Therefore, today we decided to repeat the simple but effective advice of the Headquarters.

So, what should a mere mortal do during an epidemic of influenza and acute respiratory infections, when, as a rule, there are no effective remedies in pharmacies or they are at exorbitant prices.

The first thing I would advise you to do is to add more raw vegetables to your daily diet, especially carrots, cabbage, and beets. Immediately make it a rule to have garlic and onions on the table. The more you eat, the better.

Try to get an anti-flu serum. It is not bad to pull it into your nose at least once or twice a week, especially if you are going to crowded places - a bazaar, a tram, a theater.

It is extremely important at this time to avoid hypothermia, especially the legs. Legs are the first and main conductor of a cold. If your body is supercooled, then as soon as you come home, take all measures to warm up your legs. Especially the soles of the feet. Any thermal procedures are suitable for this, but it is best to pour mustard into socks or rub the soles of the feet with any rubbing: pepper-camphor, turpentine (with oil). Vodka is good for this purpose, but moonshine is better. Drink hot tea with linden and raspberry flowers. Yes, I almost forgot: immediately buy a bottle of iodine at the pharmacy.

If a patient has already appeared in your family, he sneezes 3-4 times in a row, then do not wait for the liquid to flow from the nose. Start prevention immediately. The best remedy would be:

take 1 liter of boiled cooled water, drip 5% pharmaceutical iodine (6-8 drops) into it, mix well, add 1 teaspoon of table salt, shake the mixture again, pour the liquid into your palm, pull it into your nose, rinse your larynx. Make 3-4 such rinses in a row. The remaining liquid, no matter how disgusting, drink it. All! No acute respiratory disease will overpower you, especially if you managed to carry out this event as a preventive measure. If you are late, and the disease has begun, then in this case the proposed measure will alleviate your suffering, shorten the time of illness and protect against complications.

It is very good to grind raw onions to a mushy mass (garlic is also suitable), pour into a glass and breathe this mass 2-3 times a day for 3-5 minutes, inhaling through the nose, and exhaling through the mouth,

Well, now what to do if you did not have time to carry out any of the proposed procedures. A barking cough overcomes you, eyes like those of a rabbit, red and painful, a stream runs from your nose. The first 4-5 days of water and iodine-salt mixture must be done. In addition, I suggest the following procedures. Take out the blooming wild rosemary. Take a certain amount of it and pour the same amount of vegetable oil, leave for 20 days, shaking occasionally, strain. By the way, I advise you to prepare this potion in advance and always have it in your locker at hand.

When the disease began, take out and instill 3-5 drops into each nostril, drawing as deep as possible into the nose. Repeat 3-4 times a day. An excellent remedy for both the common cold and infection, it also relieves headaches. If there is no wild rosemary, which may well be, fasting is very effective, especially dry, without drinking any liquid - 1-2 days. At the same time, it makes sense to take baths with one of the following components: either a birch leaf, or chamomile, or oak bark, or St. John's wort. Pour a handful of raw materials into 1 liter of boiling water, leave for 3-4 hours and pour into a bath. After fasting, you can drink raw juices from citrus fruits or blackcurrants in unlimited quantities.

What else. I advise you to take enemas from infusion of chamomile, yarrow, calendula flowers or St. John's wort for 3-4 days in a row.

Rinse the nose with fresh beetroot juice, instilling 5-7 drops into each nostril. For the same purpose and in the same way, Kalanchoe juice is used.

Lemon juice is also good.

If there is nothing at hand, rinse your nose and larynx with evaporated urine.

Well, now the actions with a temperature reaction. In this case, the body develops immunity against the disease. If he is not disturbed, then, as a rule, after the 4th day the patient begins to recover. And just do not feed the patient with various delicacies. His body will have to spend 70 percent of its energy on digesting food, and not on developing immunity. If at this time antibiotics sulfonamides are given to the patient, then this also extremely burdens the work of the digestive organs and the nervous system, which also greatly slows down the fight against infection. In general, there is such a very true folk wisdom: "If you treat the flu or acute respiratory infections, then you will manage it no earlier than two weeks, and if you do not treat it, then 4-5 days will be enough." They also say in a different way: "The flu is cured with medicines in a week, and without medicines - in 7 days." I do not mean that you do not resort to any means - the listed ones are definitely necessary - just wind your head and do not complicate the patient's situation. Moreover, drug treatment not only lengthens the recovery time, but also often leads to complications. Naturally, if the disease drags on for more than 5-7 days and the high temperature persists, then the patient should be shown to the doctor.

And, finally, how to deal with acute respiratory infections with a barking cough, tearing the sternum, scratching the throat and haunting the patient?

What happens in the respiratory organs when they are affected by influenza and acute respiratory infections. First, the sensitivity of the mucous membranes in the respiratory organs, the “cough center”, sharply increases. The slightest suspended dust in the room, cold air, a pungent smell irritate the mucous membrane, and a cough occurs. Meanwhile, if you listen to the lungs, then everything is clear in them. This means that the main task of treatment is to reduce the sensitivity of the respiratory mucosa. Many at the same time are taken to drink expectorants. I don’t see any point in this, because there is absolutely nothing to expectorate for the first week.

What is the right way to do it here? There are several simple remedies.

1. Grass thyme and sweet clover, pine buds, wild rosemary - take everything in equal parts. Pour a tablespoon of the mixture with a glass of boiling water, leave for 4 hours, take 1 tablespoon before meals.

2. Black radish (juice) - 1 part, honey - 2 parts. Mix, take 1 tablespoon 3-4 times a day for 3-5 days.

Z. Spike lavender -10 g, cudweed (flowers) - 20 g, decorative peony (flowers) -20 g, peppermint (leaf) - 50 g. Pour 20 g of the mixture with 0.5 liters of boiling water, leave for 2 hours, strain, take 1-2 glasses a day with a strong cough. Influenza and acute respiratory infections are not dangerous in and of themselves. However, they can give the most dangerous complications, especially in the respiratory and nervous systems. Particularly vigilant in this regard should be the first two weeks after the illness. During this period, it is necessary to avoid hypothermia, overwork, provide a full, varied diet, enriched with vitamins. That is, having recovered outwardly, for some time still be careful, remembering that in the face of the flu you have a rather insidious enemy.

TIPS OF THE PEOPLE'S HEALER

FORWARD, REMOVING THE “STONE FROM THE SOUL”

Recently, traditional healers have been writing to us more and more often. It's nice. Their bits of experience are invaluable. They help people survive in our difficult time and use the available means and methods of treatment. Another such letter came from the Serpukhov district of the Moscow region from Alexander Andreevich Makagonov. Perhaps his advice is not new in everything, our sophisticated readers probably have some of them in service, but the main thing is that they are simple. And it is captivating. In addition, Alexander Andreevich wrote about the so-called "home repentance." Recently, our authors have been exploiting the theme of the healing of the soul. Say, not to cure the disease physically, if the soul is sick. Well, how to treat this soul, not to experience anger, envy, forgive insults, and so on and so forth? How does all this look in practice? Here is what Alexander Andreevich offers in this regard.

So, in order for a sick person to start treatment according to the recipes and methods of this or that healer, one must understand an important thing. First, you need to deal with your past: remember the problems, your mistakes, troubles, hardships, that is, remove the "stone from the soul." Only after this work, the treatment is most effective and really helps the patient to heal. The essence of the technique is as follows. You are in the evening in the kitchen, in the room - no matter where. The main thing is not to interfere with loved ones. Arrange your icons (that is, on the feast of which icon were born), light a candle consecrated in the church and read aloud the prayer “Our Father” three times. You can call for help and all your saints.

Then say: "I am ready to work, that is, to forgive." Remember your main offender - a person, at the thought of which you are overwhelmed by irritation, anger, a desire to punish, perhaps even kill. Remember also the person, name, surname, or just a person who once "stepped on a sore spot" there or annoyed him in life, say out loud: "Forgive me, for Christ's sake." If you are really ready to forgive and are already ripe for forgiveness, then spiritual relief inevitably comes. Tears may appear, it will become easier to breathe, however, everyone here may have their own sensations.

This work does not always happen immediately. It all depends on your willingness to forgive. And how do you know that you have completed the task? It's simple. You have reached your goal if the next day's memories of your offender living in this world do not cause you any negative emotions. And so go on. From offender to offender, if any. All this is called home repentance. If you have stepped into this field, then good luck to you and your health will slowly grow stronger in collaboration with faith, hope and hard work.

And I also ask everyone very much: take a step - do not stop. Health has been wasted for years, so don't expect quick results. Work for your own good and for yourself. All my recipes have been tested. There is no doubt about their strength and effectiveness.

(FLU, RUNNING NOSE, COLD. TREATMENT, PREVENTION OF FLU, RINSE, COLDS)

Real restoration of the immune system, restoration of the functions of the stomach, esophagus, large intestine, liver, as well as the vessels of the extremities and, most importantly, the vessels of the brain, protection against colds and acute respiratory infections.

Take 3 large lemons and 3 heads of garlic. Peel the garlic. Grind everything in a meat grinder, add 1 liter and 250 g of good water (I take only spring water). Mix, insist in a warm place for a day, strain through cheesecloth, squeeze the thick. It turns out the composition of 1 liter 300-350 ml. Keep refrigerated. Drink 50 g on an empty stomach, half an hour before meals in the morning and at bedtime. If it burns a lot, drink a little water.

Contraindications: individual intolerance to lemon, garlic; ridge kidney disease; increased acidity.

Against colds - gargle every 2 hours with this composition before going to bed. Sometimes 3-5 procedures are enough. The course is defined as follows: they drank 1.3 liters, counted how many days it took, take the same amount of a break. And then see for yourself whether you continue to drink garlic with lemon or not. According to herbal medicine, such a course lasts 21 days and 21 days of rest. Only after these 42 days can we say whether it helped or not. I wish you all perseverance and discipline.

Arthritis, arthrosis, gout, bruises.

This problem happened to me when I was still working. Someone suggested: insert aloe into the anus. So I inserted it, cutting off the thorns. It's gone in 2-3 days.

The second time a bump popped up already at retirement age. She ran through the village to look for aloe. One grandmother asks: “Why do you need this aloe?” I'm explaining to her. Here

she brings me a black piece of var (resin), with which they rub the dratva when filing boots, and says: “Roll up five peas from the var and drink one every hour - it will remove everything with your hand and never be again.” Aloe I never found, I had to swallow these peas. Imagine: the next day I was healthy, and for 15 years there was no relapse. But in 1997, I overstrained myself, and a bump popped out of me. I didn’t find Vara this time and used the recipe that the person who suffered from this ailment gave me. Collect your urine at one time in a pot or enamel pan, cover with a lid and put on fire. As soon as it boils, remove and put in the place where you will warm up. Pour 1 tablespoon of soda - a violent reaction will immediately begin - and sit on this pot as soon as possible, wrapped in a blanket to keep warm longer.

Breathe in hot steam, take a steam bath as much as you can. Who cannot, pour cold water into a ladle and wash your face. And after the parka, try, like me, whip your legs with a nettle broom. Then stretch your joints for 20-30 minutes on the floor. After the park, be sure to wrap yourself warmly - and go to bed until the morning. During the night, the whole body warms up.

She was also treated with May dust from under the hay. Put it in a tank, pour boiling water over it. When it cools down a bit, sit in the tank with your arms and legs and sit as long as you can.

(KIDNEY CYST. TREATMENT FOR KIDNEY CYSTS

I read in the "Healthy Lifestyle" how one woman got rid of a cyst on her kidneys with the help of burdock leaves. I was found to have cysts on both kidneys, a 2 cm stone and pyelonephritis. The operation in December was postponed until June, during which time the stones dispersed with the help of the rosehip root.

Harvest the root in early spring or late autumn. I boiled it a little and drank it like tea - delicious. Been drinking for a month. In May, burdock leaves appeared. I brewed and drank without a norm for a month, even intermittently. In June, I went for an operation - the stones were not found, the cysts became smaller.

I treat any wound like this: I roll up a cotton cloth with a cigarette, light it, then blow it out and smoke the wound with smoke. Everything heals right away.

Last year my toe ached. There was pus around the nail. I decided to apply red clay through a rag, wrapped it with a woolen sock. A few minutes later: no pain, slept peacefully. Repeated 4 pm for 2-3 hours. The pus came out, the nail turned black, then came down ... a new one grew under it.

About two months ago she fell, hurt her leg, blackened her lower leg. When the pain began to pass, it began to vomit from the bone, and the leg swelled up. I applied the clay again, and everything went away.

Meanwhile, heavy bleeding began, which lasted about six months. And then one day a distant relative, having learned about our grief, advised us to make baths from the bark and oak branches.

It was winter. I found an oak tree and broke branches with difficulty. I boiled them for half an hour in a six-liter saucepan until the water turned reddish. Then she insisted for about an hour or a little more.

She poured a warm broth (in no case hot) into a plastic basin (it cools quickly in an iron one) about half the broth. You need to sit in the pelvis for at least 30 minutes. The other half was warmed up again and topped up about every 10 minutes to maintain a constant temperature in the basin. Such baths should be done at night, at least 10-15 days.

AND MORE ABOUT

SNOWDROPS

(ALLERGY TO COLD. TREATMENT FOR ALLERGY TO COLD)

I want to make a clarification to the note “Let's wait for the snowdrops” (No. 19 for 1999). In Russia, snowdrops are called the first spring flowers. In the Stavropol Territory, it is a “white galanthus” or “snowdrop” from the bulbous family (“snowdrop” is its official name).

In the Middle lane, this is the "blue scylla". Following it blooms "sleep-grass" (lumbago) from the buttercup family, a poisonous plant (in our area it is called "samsonchik").

Behind the Ural ridge, the first to bloom is the lumbago with yellow and purple shaggy bells. Both species are equally poisonous. This is what the author of the letter “Let's wait for the snowdrops” writes about. I want to draw attention to the fact that the plant is poisonous, so you need to monitor the condition of the heart, liver, kidneys - someone has something weak.

And further. My 3-year-old grandson was allergic to the cold - his cheeks turned bright red in the winter. One woman advised me to give him a decoction of young viburnum twigs to drink. I also began to cook compote from viburnum fruits and give my grandson water. I drank as much as I wanted. He was gone in 2 weeks.

As already mentioned, the book "On a healthy lifestyle", περὶ διαίτης ὑγιεινῆς, de diaeta (victu) salubri, was in antiquity one with the book "On the Nature of Man" and was singled out by Littre. Indeed, it is a completely independent work, dealing with a diet for healthy people without any connection with the previous one. Galen considered its author to be Polybius, the son-in-law of Hippocrates.
The book is written in a simple, understandable language and gives instructions on the diet at different times of the year (ch. 1), for people of different constitutions and ages (ch. 2), instructions on walking (ch. 3), advice for those who want to lose weight and gain weight (ch. 4), the rules for when and how it is advisable to take emetics and give enemas for dietetic purposes (Chapter 5); followed by bathing (ch. 6) and a chapter on gymnastic exercises (7). The last two chapters are omitted in the translation, as they are not relevant to the topic. Many places in the book are connected with "Aphorisms" and "On Airs, Waters and Localities", representing the further development of the thoughts expressed there, therefore the origin of the book from a circle of people close to Hippocrates is beyond doubt.
Literature see On the Nature of Man.

Private people should lead this way of life: in winter they should eat as much as possible, and drink as little as possible; drink be wine, perhaps less diluted, and food bread and all fried foods; but greens at this time of the year should be consumed as little as possible. From such a lifestyle, the body will be the warmest and driest. But when spring comes, more drinks should be introduced into oneself, namely wine diluted with a large amount of water, and drunk in sips, and foods should be used softer and smaller; completely eliminate bread, and use mazu; meat should also be eliminated and everything fried should be replaced with boiled. Also, greens should be used already a little, so that a person prepares for summer by eating softer foods; boiled meat, boiled and raw vegetables, and drinks, as much as possible and as diluted as possible; and do it gradually, so that there is not a big change at once. In the summer, one should eat both a soft ointment, and a plentiful and diluted drink, and all boiled vegetables; all this should be used in the summer, so that the body is moist and soft, because this season is warm and dry and it makes the body hot and dry. Therefore, it is necessary to protect them from this by this established way of life. In exactly the same way as from winter to spring, one should also pass from spring to summer, namely, reducing food and increasing drink, and in the same way, doing the opposite, from summer to winter. In autumn, the dishes should be consumed in larger quantities and drier, and just as fish and meat, while drinks in smaller quantities and less diluted, so that the winter is good for a person; and let him use drinks that are purer and in less quantity, and food that is as plentiful and dry as possible. In fact, from this he will be both the most healthy and the least chilled, since this time of the year is very cold and wet.
2. With fleshy, soft and red physiques, it is useful to eat dry food for most of the year, because their nature is moist. But those who are hard, skinny, red and black must always eat the more moist kind of food, since their bodies are dry. Younger bodies benefit from a kind of food that is softer and more moist, for this age is dry and their bodies are tight. The old should spend most of their time in a drier way of life, because at this age the bodies are wet, soft and cold. So, in accordance with age, season, habit, country, locality, physique, we should also arrange a way of life so that we can withstand the coming heat and cold, for only in this way is the best health achieved.
3. Then in winter you should take a walk quickly, and in summer slowly, but you should not take a path in the continuation of the heat of the sun. It is useful for stout people to walk faster, and for skinny people, more slowly. Baths should also be taken frequently in summer and less frequently in winter. It is more useful to wash thin than fat. Again, clean clothes should be worn in winter, but in summer they should be saturated with olive oil.
4. If fat people want to lose weight, then they should do all physical exercises on an empty stomach and start eating, still choking after work and not cooling down, and first drink diluted and not particularly cold wine. In the same way, fish and meat should be taken cooked with sesame or with sweet sauce and other seasonings of this kind; at the same time, let it all be fatty, because in this way you can get enough of as little as possible. In addition, food should be taken once, abstained from bathing, sleeping in a hard place and walking around as unclothed as possible. Those who, being thin, want to become fat, should do the opposite of this, and likewise should not undertake any physical exercise on an empty stomach.
5. Vomiting and klysters should be used in this way: during the six months of winter, one should induce vomiting, because this time is longer than summer, mucus is produced and diseases are excited around the head and that area that is above the abdominal obstruction. But when summer comes, klisters should be used, for this season is hot and the body is more full of bile; also the lower back and knees feel heaviness, there is a feeling of heat and the stomach is troubled by pains. Therefore, the body must cool, and everything that rises must lead down from these places. But burly and more moist enemas are more useful salty and thin, and more dry, lean and weak, more fat and thick. Fatty and thick enemas are those prepared from milk, pea decoction, and the like, and thin and salty enemas from brine, sea water, and the like. Vomiting should be caused in this way: in obese and thin people on an empty stomach after a run or a quick walk around noon. An emetic is prepared from half a hyssop pounded in water: take after adding vinegar and adding salt to make it as pleasant as possible, and at first you need to drink a little, and then more quickly. But the thinner and weaker ones should “Vomit after eating and in this way: after a warm bath, they will drink a cotillion of pure wine in advance, then they will take all kinds of dishes and let them not drink either during meals or after it, but are kept for as long as required. to run ten stadia. Then, mix for them to drink triple wine, bitter, sweet and sour, and let them drink first undiluted, in sips, at large intervals, and then more diluted, quickly and to their fullest. Who is accustomed to vomit every month twice, for it is better to do it for two days in a row than on the 15th day, but the opposite is usually done.For those who are accustomed to throwing away food by vomiting, or whose stools are not easy to pass, for all these it is useful to eat often during the day. and to eat every kind of food, both meat and fish, prepared in various ways, and also to drink wine of two or three kinds.For those who do not throw away food by vomiting and have moist stomachs, for these all the diet opposite to this is useful.
6. Small children should be bathed in warm water for a long time and given to drink wine diluted with water and not quite cold; they should be given such wine because it is the least irritating to the stomach and bloating. This is to do so that the children will convulse less, grow more and have a healthier color. Women, on the other hand, should be fed with a drier kind of food, because, on the one hand, drier foods are better adapted to the softness of female muscles, and on the other hand, purer drinks are better for the uterus and for nourishing the fetus.
7. For those who do gymnastics, it is useful to run and wrestle in winter, and in summer there is little wrestling and not running at all, but a lot of walking in the cool. Those who get tired from running should fight, and those who get tired from fighting should run, because in this way any part of the body, tired from work, can best be warmed, strengthened and rested. Those who, at the end of gymnastic exercises, get diarrhea and at the same time pass stools that look like food and undigested, should reduce their gymnastic exercises by at least a third, and food by half, for it is obvious that their stomach cannot warm up so much that digest copious amounts. Let their food be bread, baked as well as possible, dipped in wine, and their drinks as little as possible and as little diluted as possible, and let no walks be taken after the meal. During this time it is useful to eat only once a day, because in this way the stomach can best warm up and overcome the food taken. This kind of diarrhea occurs most often in physiques endowed with a dense body, when someone, in spite of this, is forced to eat meat, because the veins, hardened, cannot receive the food that reaches them. Such a nature is changeable; it turns in one direction or another, and in such bodies the good state is maintained at a height only for a short time. But physiques, looser and hairier, allow this eating of meat on command, endure labor better, and remain in good condition for a longer time. For those who regurgitate their food the next day, and whose pit of stomach rises (no doubt from indigestion), longer sleep is beneficial. In addition, they must be forced to other bodily labors, drink purer wine and in large quantities, and at this time take food in less quantity, for it is obvious that the stomach, due to weakness and cold, cannot digest many foods. Those who are overwhelmed by thirst should eliminate some of the food and bodily exercises and drink wine diluted with water and as cold as possible. For those who have pains in the viscera from gymnastic exercises or from any other work, it is useful to rest and abstain from food. Let them drink such a drink, which, in the smallest amount, produces very abundant urine, so that the veins that are in the viscera do not become distended from overflow, because swelling and fevers arise from this.

Private people, ἰδιώται, according to Galen, are those who, not in public service, go about their business; they have enough time to take care of their health.
