Probably, the fate of this book will not be ordinary. She had not yet had time to see the light, as she had already met with a rebuff from official representatives of medicine. This compels me to speak of her at greater length than is customary to do so. First, a few words about its author. Alexander (Abram) Solomonovich Zalmanov

At the beginning of our century, along with the revolution in the field of physics and chemistry and the further development of mathematics, we observe a significant lag in medical science. In medicine, we are still in the pre-revolutionary period. One concept replaces another. For decades in medicine, they have been working hard, but without t..

Between the blood and extracellular fluid there is an endothelial barrier - these are capillaries. Their diameter is different. There are very wide capillaries (20-30 microns) and narrower ones (5-6 microns). Capillaries are formed by endothelial cells, some of them are little differentiated, more capable of phagocytosis. These..

Each violation of blood circulation causes a decrease in its volume intended for tissues, and reduces the supply of oxygen. Hypoxemia sets in. Each decrease in the volume of oxygen in the arterial blood causes a violation of blood circulation. And this fact is not sufficiently appreciated by cardiology. Any reduction..

Each living molecule is a functional association of atoms capable, on the one hand, of stimulating attraction or repulsion, and on the other, of connecting with other molecules.

The totality of enzymes is a huge laboratory, which constantly generates interactions of particles of the order of a millionth or a billionth of a millimeter; life triumphs, dominates, orders this tiny chaos, organizing an inexorable and wisdom-filled order, preserving the structure of cells, tissues, organs, regulating a constant temperature, blood circulation, excretion.

The ideas of modern biochemistry, physiology, and pharmacology will remain mere dreams if it is imagined that they can, by their own means, change the majestic stream of life. Life avoids rude, arrhythmic, uncontrollable explosions. Small changes, small chemical reactions at a moderate temperature give the body a resistance stronger than steel and are directed with a precision and subtlety not characteristic of thermite technique. This is the "great wisdom of the organism" (Cannon).
Physicians can do much to preserve and prolong life if they always respect this "wisdom of the body."

There are countless treasures in the old house of classical medicine. But these treasures are scattered in cellars and attics, forgotten, left unattended, covered with dust. To discover these precious bits of knowledge, to make a selection, one must be armed with guiding ideas, a doctrinal sieve to sift out valuable bits.

A pile of marble is not yet a statue. A heap of impressions is not yet a thought. The whiteness of the marble and its purity are necessary to make a good statue. Impartiality, clarity of impressions are necessary for the thought to be clear and strict.

The time will come when biologists, physiologists, doctors, expanding their imperfect optics, will learn with admiration the wisdom of an organism so fragile and at the same time so capable of resistance. A deep understanding of the wisdom of life will penetrate philosophy and science.

Living matter is characterized by the fact that many infinitesimal units (colloidal micelles) have an extremely large surface in relation to the volume of the human body. The mass of colloidal substances in the cytoplasm of the human body is 5 kg in dry form. Since the average size of micelles in the cytoplasm is about 5 millionths of a millimeter, the surface represented by the micelles of the whole body is certainly not less than 2,000,000 m, i.e. 200 ha (Policard, 1944). 100,000 km of capillaries per 200 hectares of living surface! The importance of capillary blood supply is obvious. Carrel (Carrel, 1927), taking into account the amount of nutrient fluid needed to maintain tissue in culture, calculated that the human body's need for blood and lymph is 200,000 liters per day.
Infinitely small, but wonderfully used means, the human body completely irrigates the human body with 5 liters of blood, 2 liters of lymph, 28 liters of extracellular and intracellular fluid.

From an energetic point of view, work productivity is the result of two factors: intensity and capacity (volume). The cell mass is negligible - and the intensity factor is limited. But the dimensions of the surfaces give the capacitance factor an unusually high value.

Chapter 1
Life and death
Life cycles

Life cycles are denoted by two poles:

1) constant assimilation or integration, which is the transformation of inert, dead matter into living, dynamic;

2) constant decay or disintegration, which is the transformation of living matter into inert, dead.

Partial death is, as it were, a sure guarantee of the vital integrity of the organism. Only the constant destruction of the contents of cells, tissues, organs and the whole organism guarantees the ongoing restoration of cells, tissues, organs and the whole organism. The slowdown in assimilation causes a quantitative decrease in vitality, i.e. lack of oxygen, lack of plastic substances, energy minerals, hormones, enzymes. The slowing down of secretions leads to qualitative damage - poisoning by the body's own waste products (retention of urea, sodium chloride, water, calcium, bile).

A very dangerous infection has been known for a long time, arising from the penetration into the body of ptomaines - very toxic alkaloids that are formed during cadaveric decomposition. Millions and millions of cellular microcorpses arise every moment in the human body. They leave the arterial loops of blood capillaries, penetrate into the intercellular fluids, into the lymphatic capillaries, into the portal vein network, into the blood, lymphatic and bile capillaries of the liver, as well as into the brain. Despite numerous opportunities to accumulate and get stuck in various areas of the body, they, however, undergo decay, are removed without harm to the body, provided that the body is not tired.

For a balanced organism that breathes well, is well irrigated with blood, for an organism that has a normal excretion - a system of well-arranged sewage pipes - the invasion of poisonous ptomains does not pose any danger. Such an organism is in a state of desensitization, complete neutralization. An army of living cells is able to multiply and support life in all its manifestations and countless variations. From this point of view, biology approaches modern nuclear physics: the condensation of colossal energy in a very small mass of matter is inherent in both.

In every living plant and animal organism, a surface is enclosed in a relatively limited volume of enormous dimensions. The atom is condensed energy. The release of atomic energy can produce an explosion, destruction. compressed space, the huge surfaces enclosed in our body contain a significant amount of energy in each tiny point. But the stretch of surfaces is enormous. The maximum of space with a minimum of energy at each point is a characteristic of life evolution. When there is a maximum of energy in an infinitely small space, there is a danger of destruction. The accumulation of material force in a small space contains the threat of an explosion. The distribution of material force among the masses gives peace, gives life.

In the embryonic period, from the moment the circulatory organs (heart and blood vessels) appear, microbes introduced by the mother's blood begin to take root, and despite this, intrauterine diseases of the fetus are extremely rare. The symbiosis of an animal organism with microbes is, no doubt, just as necessary for the prolongation of life as the symbiosis of microbes and fungi is for plant life. Animals such as cats and dogs that have not been subjected to dozens of preventive (safety, prophylactic) vaccinations do not know the flu and only very rarely in young age get pneumonia.

The view that a group of antigens attack a "sterile" organism, and that organism retaliates against the enemy with an army of antibodies, becomes erroneous if it is recognized that the so-called sterile life exists only in far-fetched abstract theories.

The eternal death of cells is just as necessary for the animal organism as the fall of flowers and leaves is for trees. The cells remaining after death, as well as liquid tissues (blood and lymph with their moving cells - erythrocytes, leukocytes, lymphocytes) and an infinite number of enzymes decompose, purify, and continuously neutralize the ptomains generated by the protein fragments of the decay of dead cells. Without aggressive germs, this vigilance can be lulled.

Vital energy

Life energy with a predetermined orientation of molecules, with the formation of molecular chains, with the dynamism of the reproduction of cells and species, with the ability to self-repair, with the possibility of rational planning, with its wonderful ability to turn the movement of the contents of the cell into cellular "psychism" and the flow of nerve impulses in the brain, t .e. into thought, creation, art, science, will, desire, into a diverse and multicolored active psychism - this vital energy must be outside the energy forms hidden in inanimate matter. It is impossible to order, it is impossible to counteract the energy of life.

If one wants to change the flow of vital energy in any way, whether in agronomy, horticulture, biology or medicine, one must approach it with infinite respect, with the delicacy of a watchmaker, with irrefutable logic, sharpened vigilance of hand, eye and ear, with constant self-control of every place, every observation. Neither biologists nor doctors have the possibility of increasing the vital energy even by one erg. They can only, like gardeners, remove obstacles that threaten the flourishing of vital energy.

Restoring the freedom of oxygen flow, clearing blocked fluid flows, a climate is created in the body in which the released vital energy will turn into thought, into creation.

Energy balance

Instead of raising the energy balance in the diseased organism, the modern clinic tries to maintain a hot war against various aggressions, completely neglecting the significance of the organism's energy balance. The level of life of the human body is proportional to the amount of energy.

If the body overcomes all attacks on it, then human health is fully secured. If the energy balance is below average, the body will not be able to resist painful aggressions and will become hopelessly ill. Ignorance of this simple but paramount physiological truth, which the old clinic foresaw, has deprived modern medicine of a guiding idea common to all pathology.

Countless antibiotics against various types of microbes and viruses, ultrasound, intravenous injections that dangerously change the composition of the blood, pneumo- and thoracoplasty, amputation of parts of the lung - are considered great achievements in therapy.

A blind, inhuman chemical-physical technology has been created without any respect for the integrity and inviolability of the poor organism.

Is medicine, plunged into insane optimism, finally ready to follow the path of such schizophrenic destruction? Medicine that cripples must give way to medicine that seeks to increase energy balance.

Age is a mirror of disease

In the extremely impoverished world after the two world wars of our century, the interests of states, the interests of nations, urgently demand that the elderly be able to earn a living, instead of being an unproductive burden on society. The states face the problem of increasing the working capacity of older people, the problem of postponing the retirement age. Why should millions and millions of older people vegetate on their meager allowances as their only source of livelihood, or live on so-called savings that are practically non-existent?

In France in 1948 there were 138,000 hospital beds, of which 75,000 were for the elderly. How ridiculous is this figure when you think of the 6.5 million inhabitants over 60 years old. Every effort, every suggestion to keep and increase the activity of these economic pariahs must be closely studied by governments, sociologists, economists and, above all, physicians. The elderly person should be considered not as a soldier, an official, a worker, a taxpayer, not as a nameless number, a statistical unit, but as a being with a diseased body and soul without illusions.

You have to die at 90. It is necessary to preserve social value, human dignity to the last breath. We must give the old man the opportunity to earn; for the state and for taxpayers, this is the healthiest economy; for an old man, this is the only possible life worth living for.

Let us now consider this problem from the point of view of the physiologist and the physician. Let's balance the creative forces of our poor human machine and try to find the most effective and least expensive solutions. First of all, old age means increasing fatigue. Calcium, in combination with phosphates and carbonic salts, moves from bones, from organs where it is useful, to organs where it is harmful, resulting in senile osteomalacia, senile osteoporosis, hyperostosis, deforming rheumatism, bone fragility, senile fractures that do not heal.

The released and wandering calcium is deposited in tendons, ligaments and other organs. Often there is the formation of periarticular nodes, leading to compaction of the spine. The skin becomes dry and loses its elasticity. All surgeons know the slow healing of postoperative wounds in the elderly, the inability to transplant them.

According to Carrel, the speed of healing of wounds is proportional to the degree of cell reproduction. Healing occurs faster in children than in adolescents, faster in young man than the old man. The degree of cell reproduction is the true measure of the degree of aging.

So, secondly, we can say that the histophysiological substrate of old age is cellular aging. Is it possible to influence such cellular decrepitude, is it possible to stop it, is it possible to achieve cellular rejuvenation? Modern physiology and clinics are skeptical and reserved about these issues, especially after the attempts of rejuvenation undertaken by Brown-Sekar, Steinakh, Voronov, Bogomolets. This skepticism is quite justified, especially if we think about the role of capillaries that carry nutrients in their arterial loops to each cell (oxygen, amino acids, glucose, electrolytes, vitamins), and about metabolites, cellular metabolic products that are removed from the body by venous capillary loops.

If the capillaries around the parenchymal cells are blocked, then there is no influx of nutrients; the accumulation of metabolites interferes with the work of cells and reduces or even stops the exchange between micelles. Here is the histophysiological substrate of cellular aging.

Why does this phenomenon occur? They talk about self-combustion of cells, they talk about fatty, mucous, pigmented degeneration and replacement with connective tissue. Fatty degeneration is localized mainly in organs and areas of the body that are poorly irrigated with blood, poorly nourished, and spreads in case of anoxemia.

When a cell has fulfilled its role as a producer of digestible micelloids, it dies, giving way to a younger cell. All metabolites of these colloidal micelles enter the bloodstream and are excreted through the liver, kidneys, skin, but if there are too many of them, they are released into extracellular fluids. It can be assumed that in 5-7 years all cells of the human body are renewed at a rate of 5 to 7 billion cells per day (an exception must be made for nerve cells, in which only part of their cytoplasm is able to recover, while nerve cells cannot be renewed entirely for the entire period of its existence). Thus, the enormous role of the intact excretory organs becomes clear: the liver, kidneys, skin, and intestines.

The key to the so-called senile cellular sclerosis, as well as the key to all cellular transformations in general pathology, is the lack of capillary irrigation in the body. Even partially restoring capillary circulation, thereby automatically restoring "blood supply in all tissues as a whole. Half-dead cells resume normal metabolism. They are released from toxic metabolic products, from metabolites that clog and suppress cell micelles; cells free from metabolites after that again become capable take in nutrients Cellular enzymes are reactivated, cell life is revived Cellular enzymes are born, live, act and die in a very short period of time For example, the conversion of glucose into carbonic anhydride and water requires at least half a dozen aerobic and anaerobic reactions, but all their chain occurs in the striated muscle in less than 1/10 s.

Rejuvenation of the body begins with the skin, which becomes smooth, elastic and better supplied with blood. The temperature of the skin rises, the movements of the joints become more flexible, the breathing becomes more intense, the peripheral blood circulation is revitalized. An increase in blood supply to the coronary arteries improves myocardial nutrition. The activity of the heart is normalized, the rhythm is restored. The brain, thanks to an improved blood supply, becomes more receptive again, associations become more rapid and definite, intellectual and emotional life is revived. Senile numbness, indifference are replaced by an awakened interest in life.

Each breath introduces into the body, especially among residents of large cities, several billion microbes. To destroy them, an additional effort is required from the body. An old man with shallow, poor breathing, with progressive fatigue of the respiratory muscles, is not able to destroy the countless microbes that have entered him. There is senile bronchitis, foci of pneumonia spread, emphysema appears.

The expansion of the pulmonary capillaries, the lumen of the bronchioles and alveoli restores gas exchange, strengthens the muscles of the chest and bronchi, breathing becomes deeper and more intense, the former pale or cyanotic face becomes fresh, acquires a pink tint.

In the elderly, infectious diseases often end fatally, as they develop imperceptibly in a worn out organism; cellular and humoral activity, which could defeat microbial aggression, is greatly reduced. Awakening a cellular reaction through capillary therapy, for example, in the treatment of advanced renal failure, creates conditions in the elderly that allow them to tolerate infectious diseases well and significantly reduce the slow recovery period so characteristic of them.

Speaking of arteriosclerosis, they forget the role of the vaso-vasorum that feeds the walls of the arteries and arterioles. By using capillary therapy, these vaso-vasorums are opened and, in most cases, circulatory disorders in elderly patients are avoided.

An elderly person should always remain under medical supervision. Left without sufficient attention, a slight ailment can lead to death.

An old man should rest before he gets tired, not just after he gets tired. "It is rare to find a 75-year-old who is able to work actively," says Charles Richet in his excellent book "The ability to stay young" (Richet, 1959, p. 164). It is not at all rare, if capillary therapy and a small reasonable gerontotherapy are used methodically.

Along with cellular aging, there is humoral aging caused by kidney failure. We are talking about the accumulation of metabolites in extracellular fluids, lymph and blood plasma. To eliminate this humoral aging, extracellular fluids must be freed from excess metabolites. It is possible to purify these fluids with a food regimen, soda enemas and small doses of diuretics (we never use mercury preparations).

When they talk about old age as a disease, they think first of all about arteriosclerosis, damage to the coronary arteries, damage to the heart valves, a decrease in the elasticity of the arteries, the relative atrophy of their muscle layers, a gradual decrease in arterial contractility, etc., forgetting at the same time about the role of the vase-vasorum. It also does not take into account the fact that organs and large vessels contain only 10% of the amount of circulating blood.

Arteriosclerosis, even in the intraparenchymal branches of the arteries, if it affects tissue nutrition, it is very weak, without causing senile changes in the organ morphology. On the other hand, it is quite logical to fully agree with the opinion of Bastai and Dogliotti (Bastai, Dogliotti, 1938) regarding the role of feeding vessels, i.e. blood and lymph capillaries.

The capillary system itself, in conjunction with the paracapillary (pre- and post-capillary), in a word, the capillary network is so much longer than the arteriovenous network that pathologists should pay more attention to the capillary network when explaining disease processes. Anatomical studies usually do not go beyond the arterioles. Changes in the walls of capillaries should become the basis of the pathological physiology of the future. Research Rondelli (Rondelli), Vassi (Vassi), Salvioli (Salvioli) showed that in extreme old age, the capillaries thin out, writhe, weaken. The blood flow slows down accordingly. The most constant and important phenomenon seen in old people is an almost general decrease in the diameter of the capillaries. Capillaroscopy shows that the loops of capillaries in old people are either dilated or strongly compressed. Their circulation is less affected by heat and massage than in young people; in old people, the blood flow of the nail bed is much slower than in young people; red blood cells move with difficulty, stops and even reverse movement are often observed.

There is a sufficient amount of data to admit that in old people, regardless of all obvious arteriosclerotic processes, there is a change in the structure of the walls of the capillaries, which goes along with aging.

Senile capillaropathy can cause ectasia or stenosis or lead to blockage of the capillary lumen. The latter should be considered as the main factor in biochemical and metabolic disorders of blood circulation in the capillaries. The speed of blood circulation is an important element in the regulation of the exchange between blood and tissues. In old people, the blood flow is reduced by a third (Winternitz).

After the remarkable work of Lewis, Hooker, Klungmuhl, there is no longer any doubt about the ability of capillaries to actively contract. Capillaroscopic observations of Bastei and Doliotti, Moreau and Bartolini (Bartolini) and observations of the formation of histamine "bubbles" indicate that changes in the diameter of the capillaries in old people are more limited and occur more slowly. The relative atony of the capillaries in the elderly, their partial blockage cause an increase in resistance in the peripheral circulation.

The atrophy of numerous nephrons in the kidneys, especially in nephritis, should not be regarded as a specific renal disease, but as an extension of a general capillaropathy. Glomeruli are integral part circulatory systems: they filter the blood and regulate the composition of extracellular fluids.

Reduced capillary contractility, slowing blood flow, reducing the number of open capillaries, increasing resistance in the peripheral circulation cause essential hypertension. The increase in pressure is caused either by increased activity of the adrenal glands (which is rare) or (in most cases) by a significant general decrease in the capillary network.

When capillaropathy affects the renal glomeruli, it leads to renal pressure increase. This is not about renins, vasopressins, etc., but about general capillaritis, about a massive decrease in capillary current by tens of thousands of kilometers due to temporary closure of blood vessels or their final blockage.

From the point of view of hemodynamics, the change in circulation in the capillaries should be considered as the main factor in senile disorders in blood circulation. The insufficiency of countless peripheral hearts is of paramount importance for the development of various pathological conditions, other factors - myocardial insufficiency, decreased metabolism at rest - are secondary.

A decrease in the capillary blood supply to the brain causes circulatory and nutritional disorders of the nerve centers (subhilly, centers of sleep, speech, higher brain centers).

Chapter 2
Physiology
Does human physiology exist?

Until now, we have no real work on human physiology. There is only animal physiology based on countless experiments on laboratory animals. But their composition of extra- and intracellular fluids is completely different from the humoral composition of the human body. For example, the juices of a dog's body contain much less potassium and much more sodium chloride than a human. The percentage of histamine in a dog is different from that in humans. Rabbits, guinea pigs are herbivores, humans are carnivores and omnivores. Frogs and mice in terms of species, moreover, are far from humans. Most of the experiments on laboratory animals were carried out in an atmosphere of coercion. Animals in the experiments are bound, injured physically and morally poisoned. They are kept in poorly ventilated cages, their functions are abnormal.

We do not deny the great importance of animal physiology, but we think that the living conditions of laboratory animals must be taken into account in order to have the right to draw not too hasty conclusions. For there are cases when painful physiological experiments on animals lead to "tortured" conclusions. Below we will try to present some reflections on the true human physiology.

Based on a comparison of some data of classical physiology, we will allow ourselves to imagine several of the most important functions of the human body.

capillaries

The blood capillaries are constantly changing. In certain places, they can multiply or undergo reverse development. When filled with blood, endothelial cells retain their flattened shape. With a delay in the blood flow in the capillary, endothelial cells again form outgrowths (kidneys). At the same time, their initial numerous potencies are revived, and various variants of mesenchymal tissue develop from these cells due to the termination of their normal functions. The capillary diameter changes by 2 and 3 times. At maximum tone, the capillaries are so narrowed that they do not let blood cells through; only plasma can leak out. And vice versa, with a sharp relaxation of the tone of the walls of the capillary, a lot of blood accumulates in their expanded lumen. In the case of shock, this phenomenon is of great importance, since there is a real bleeding into the vasculature of the abdominal cavity as a result of stagnation in the over-expanded network of capillaries.

The motor function of capillaries plays a role in every disease process: in inflammation, in traumatic, toxic, infectious shock, and in trophic disorders. Changes in the lumen of the capillaries also play a very important role in the regulation of blood pressure: when all the capillaries are dilated, there is a strong drop in blood pressure.

capillary permeability. The endothelium is a living filtering membrane, by no means inert, with changing permeability, it controls the exchange between blood and extracellular fluids. In the normal state, the membrane passes small molecules (water, crystalloids, amino acids, urea), but retains protein molecules. In pathological conditions, the permeability of the capillary membrane increases, and then the protein molecules of the blood plasma can seep through the endothelium. The degree of permeability of the capillary wall plays an important role in normal and pathological physiology (with the phenomena of secretion and resorption and in the pathogenesis of edema and inflammation).

The passage of liquids through the walls of capillaries is controlled by the following factors.

1) The total length of the filter surface. It is sometimes huge. Krogh believes that the total surface of the capillaries of an adult is 6300 m, i.e. a belt 1 m wide and more than 6 km long. This is an important factor for metabolic processes, it changes due to changes in the diameter of capillaries (gout, diabetes, chronic rheumatism, arteritis).

2) The permeability of the walls themselves. The endothelial membrane is much more permeable than other membranes in the body. In frogs, endothelial membranes are 300 times more permeable than other cell walls and 100 times more than erythrocyte walls.

3) Pressure on both sides of the membrane. From the outside and from the inside, the pressure is carried out in two opposite directions, the blood pressure contributes to the outward filtration. Under normal conditions, it reaches 40 mm of water in humans. Art. in arterial loops, 22 cm - in venous. As Starling has shown, filtration pressure is opposed by the oncotic pressure of plasma colloids, which tends to hold water in the vessels. This pressure in humans corresponds to 36 mm of water. Art. Being subject to numerous influences, blood pressure is highly variable, which causes the alternation of filtration and absorption of water, as well as all metabolic processes that characterize the life of tissues.

Countless normal and pathological processes are determined by these factors. In this part of the circulatory mechanism there are continuous fluctuations, establishing a middle equilibrium, one of those equilibria of which Claude Bernard (Bernard) said that "they result from a constant and accurate alignment, carried out, as it were, on the most sensitive scales."

Between filtration and suction at the capillary level, there is an endless movement of fluids back and forth in a limited space; fluids are constantly striving for equilibrium.

The capillaries have some resistance adapted to the blood pressure in the area. The fragility of capillaries increases with avitaminosis C (scurvy) and under the influence of histamine, so extreme caution is necessary in the treatment of peptic ulcer. Banks (blood-sucking) increase capillary resistance. The strength of the capillaries depends, apparently, especially on the fibers surrounding them.

Classical hemodynamics considers the heart as a central engine that drives blood into the arteries, transporting nutrients to areas where there is a continuous exchange between blood and tissues, where, according to the classical concept, the capillaries remain inert, passive, like the entire venous circulatory system.

Chauvois (Chauvois, 1957), a former employee of d "Arsonval (d" Arsonval), in his brochure "Place of the Veins" argues that the initial and dominant role belongs to the venous sector of the blood circulation. "The heart does nothing else," he said, "as soon as it ensures that the blood is pushed forward, and it is not it that returns to the blood its primary elements such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, etc."

In fact, after the important work of August Krogh, it must be recognized that the initial and dominant role belongs to the capillaries, which represent pulsating contractile organs. Weiss and Wang (Weiss, Wang, 1936) established this peristalsis (systole) of the capillaries by means of capillaroscopy. Magnus (Magnus) observed the same phenomenon on a piece of intestine, on a tissue culture according to the Carrel method.

Hagen (Hagen) ascertained changes in the diameter of capillaries at different periods of the day, month, year. In the morning, the capillaries are more narrowed than in the evening, the general exchange is lowered. This explains the decrease in internal temperature in the morning and its increase in the evening. In women during the premenstrual period, the number of open capillaries increases, hence a more active metabolism and an increase in temperature. In the period between September and January, capillary spasms and numerous congestions are observed.

This is the reason for seasonal illnesses, including peptic ulcers in September, as well as in March.
Niko observed by capillaroscopy at the Tübingen Medical Clinic the effect of X-rays on the body. In skin erythema caused by x-rays, Niko traced the exudation of serum through the walls of the capillaries; after the cessation of X-ray therapy, there was a massive decrease in skin capillaries. The ailments experienced after a series of X-ray therapy sessions, the appearance of radio-beam dermatitis, were thus clarified as early as 1920. David (David) confirmed Niko's observations. But no one for 32 years thought to do capillaroscopy before applying X-ray therapy to patients suffering from hyperthyroidism, renal insufficiency, i.e. syndromes that are always accompanied by capillary weakness.

During treatment with digitalis (after appropriate preparation of the patient) and small doses of theobromine derivatives (not exceeding 0.5 g per day in two divided doses), there is a disappearance of atonic expansion of the venous loops of capillaries and small post-capillary veins, the disappearance of blood stasis, a decrease in capillary pressure (Weiss, Wang, 1936, and many others).

Diseases of the capillaries: capillaritis (Fahr) or capillaropathy (Zalmanov) constitute the most important chapter in pathology. We have the right to assert that this is the basis of every disease process; without the physiopathology of the capillaries, medicine remains on the surface of phenomena and is unable to understand anything either in general or in particular pathology.

Classical neurology, with its almost mathematical accuracy of diagnosis, is powerless from a therapeutic point of view, because it neglects the blood circulation of the spinal cord and peripheral nerves and thus deprives itself of many means in therapy.

The degree of lesions caused by local capillaropathy depends locally on the anatomical region. Muller (Miiller, 1922) proved this well with the example of salvarsan. The reaction does not lead to serious complications if it is used on the genitals. When exposed to salvarsan on the initial segment of the aorta, swelling of the vaso-vasorum and coronary vessels can lead to sudden death. Finally, in the central nervous system it can lead to a very serious illness.
Periodic stasis or spasms of the capillaries of the fingers underlie the symptoms of "dead fingers", acrocyanosis, Raynaud's disease. Stagnation or periodic spasms in the organs of the labyrinth of the inner ear cause dizziness in Meniere's syndrome.

In patients affected by the so-called angioneurosis, a real vascular storm in the capillaries, precapillaries and postcapillaries is established with a capillaryoscope instead of a normal picture.

Some capillaries are highly atonic, dilated to a maximum in stasis, and in adjacent areas the flow of blood is greatly accelerated; atony and spasms can spread to arteries and veins. At the same time, there is a decrease or an excessive increase in the permeability of the capillary membranes and a tendency to edema according to the method of Gansslen (Gansslen) from Tübingen, which consists in measuring the length of time required for the formation of a pustule when applying a few square millimeters of Spanish fly patch. Tall asthenics most often have dilated tortuous capillaries, while in picnics the capillaries are more easily destroyed.

Varicose veins often begin in the venous loops of capillaries. In women complaining of indefinite diffuse pain (occiput, shoulders, sacro-lumbar region), in which neither articular changes, nor bone deformities, nor signs of neuritis are found, it is often possible to feel the compaction in the muscles; then one must think of intramuscular urticaria, according to Quincke's suggestion. These countless microscopic hematomas around the muscle fibers better explain muscle pain than the hypothesis of the formation of a gelatinous substance.
Ginselmann (Hinselmann) and Nettekorn (Nettekorn) observed in eclampsia diffuse capillary stasis in the skin, in intestinal loops and in the uterus. This stasis is noted in convulsions and high blood pressure.

The old hypothesis of angiospastic anemia of the brain as the cause of eclampsia thus finds objective confirmation in capillaroscopy. Parrisius (Parrisius) stated significant changes in the skin capillaries in almost all cases of glaucoma and Meniere's syndrome.

In infectious diseases, vasomotor paresis affects not only the arteries and arterioles, but the entire capillary network. Hornsh-tetter (Hornstetter) described stagnation in the capillaries in typhoid fever, Jurgenson (Jorgensen) - in influenza. After a period of excitement, when the blood flow is still satisfactory, the stage of capillary paralysis sets in. All capillaries are equally dilated, filled with a bluish-purple blood mass. By continuing observation for several minutes, one can be convinced that there is no trace of blood movement. The same phenomena take place in typhus, scarlet fever, septicemia. Huber observed capillary paralysis in diphtheria. Von Geibner (Heubner, 1931) managed to experimentally induce the same capillary paralysis by means of gold salts.

When we observe how a hypertrophied heart, which has satisfactorily worked for quite a long time, gives up, we can explain the weakness of the myocardium, insufficiently irrigated with blood, by an increase in the gaps between the capillaries. Myocardial fibers became longer and thinner, while the new formation of capillaries, an increase in the number of open capillaries did not accompany an increase in the number and size of myofibrils; hence myocardial anoxemia with its consequences: myomalacia, proliferation of connective tissue, fatty degeneration.

It is known that the lack of oxygen causes a characteristic pain in the muscle. We now know that the flow of oxygen to the heart depends on the irrigation of the vaso-vasorum of the coronary arteries and on the percentage of oxygen in the blood. When the heart is overstrained, when the atmosphere is poor in oxygen, even a healthy person's electrocardiogram shows a decrease in the ST wave and a deformation of the T wave in exactly the same way as in the case of angina pectoris.

Lack of oxygen always causes pain due to malnutrition of the myofibrils; the longer the lack of oxygen, the more micronecrosis appears in the myocardium. The fusion of these micronecrosis may result in a picture of myocardial infarction even without blockage of one of the branches of the coronary artery. Attacks of angina pectoris at rest are much more dangerous than an attack at the moment of tension. Attacks during rest indicate, in essence, a long-term blockage of the vaso-vasorum of the coronary arteries.

Niko discovered changes in the capillaries and increased capillary pressure 6 weeks after scarlet fever, when the rash had already disappeared. Kilin (Kilin) found that increased capillary pressure persists for quite a long time after a drop in temperature. Patients in this category must be strictly monitored: they are easily exposed to the danger of glomerulonephritis. Ophthalmologists are well aware of the changes in arterioles and capillaries of the retina during renal hematogenous diseases. Schleyer (Schleyer) argues that acute hematogenous nephritis is always preceded by general capillaritis, capillary toxicosis of infectious origin. There is not a single disease with morphological changes, there is not a single functional disorder in which the condition of the capillaries does not play a primary role. But, of course, one should never forget about the relationship between the blood flow in the capillaries and other body functions.

You need to think about the interaction of all organs. Respiration, nutrition, excretion of each patient should be carefully studied, but one should not get confused in small details. It is necessary to establish a hierarchy of diagnostic indicators for each patient. The clinic should use laboratory and radiological data, but the final word belongs to the clinic. The laboratory and x-ray are the experts, the clinic is the judge.

capillary blood circulation. Rivers originate from many streams, the water of which is always in motion: it rises, overflows its banks, fills underground irregularities, gives rise to streams that multiply and merge into small channels that feed large pekn. The movement of intermediate waters - the source of blood circulation - is a striking analogy with the sources of rivers. The arterial loop of capillaries squeezes plasma water through its walls. The venous loop absorbs water in the interstitial space bathed by extracellular fluids, which affects the droplets of extracellular fluid and causes changes in its pressure. This is the real beginning of the circulation of organic fluids and, ultimately, blood.

Higher unicellular organisms, possessing - pulsating vacuoles, represent the first step in the circulation of intracellular fluid. The extracellular fluid for unicellular organisms is the sea or river where they live.

The Tübingen school is credited with the use of capillaroscopy data in the clinic; it opened the great chapter of capillaropathy for the physiologist and physician. Unfortunately for the clinic, neither physiologists nor doctors took advantage of these works. It was only in France that Baruk and Racine became interested in the miraculous life of the capillaries. They revealed significant capillaroscopic changes in all pathologically altered tissues, ascertained a violation of capillary circulation in various tissues in those suffering from a breakdown.

In his writings on mental illness, Luys emphasized that in melancholics the cerebral circulation of blood is reduced, while in manic excitement the flow of blood to the brain is increased with simultaneous vasodilation. The results achieved with regard to the treatment of melancholy by electroshock methods are obtained, according to Baruk, from an instantaneous increase in blood circulation in the brain. This strengthening is achieved at the price of too rough and dangerous influence on the blood circulation and on the brain tissue itself.

Baruk, Racine, David and Lerouz experimentally showed that the use of folliculin causes a significant expansion of the vessels of the brain and a rush of blood to it. An attack of catatonia is accompanied by an unusual pallor of the face as a result of vasoconstriction. Baruk and Claude described orthostatic acrocyanosis of the lower extremities with catatonia, which can sometimes simulate arteritis obliterans. With catatonia, psychovascular, psycho-digestive, psycho-respiratory and other psycho-visceral synergies are observed. Using the example of catatonia, one can understand that there is no single and stereotypical treatment even for the same disease.

Description: Probably, the fate of the book "The Secret Wisdom of the Human Organism" will not be ordinary. She had not yet had time to see the light, as she had already met with a rebuff from official representatives of medicine. This compels me to speak of her at greater length than is customary to do so. First, a few words about its author.
Alexander (Abram) Solomonovich Zalmanov was born in Russia in 1875. After graduating from the gymnasium, he entered the Moscow University at the Faculty of Medicine. However, having already passed to the 4th year, he left the Faculty of Medicine, as he was not satisfied with the teaching of medical disciplines.
In 1896, Zalmanov moved to the first year of the Faculty of Law, combining law studies with the study of Russian and general history and comparative linguistics.
In 1899 he was arrested as one of the organizers of the all-Russian student strike, and after that he was expelled from the university.
After his release, deprived of the opportunity to continue his education in Russia, Zalmanov went to Germany, to Heidelberg. Here he graduated from the medical faculty with a doctorate in medicine. Subsequently, he received two more diplomas - Russian and Italian.
During the First World War, Zalmanov returned to Russia and was a senior doctor in charge of ambulance trains. After the Great October Socialist Revolution, in 1918, he worked as the head of the Main Resort Administration and chairman of the State Commission for the Fight against Tuberculosis. In the same year, he was invited to treat N.K. Krupskaya and M.I. Ulyanova, having received a permanent pass to enter the Kremlin. V.I. personally knew him. Lenin also appreciated him as an experienced doctor. A.S. Zalmanov and to this day the certificate given to him by V.I. Lenin and written by him.
In the future, A.S. Zalmanov worked a lot in various clinics in the largest cities in Europe. A. Krogh's monograph on the physiology of capillaries, awarded the Nobel Prize, aroused in him the desire to thoroughly study the issues of capillary blood circulation and cellular metabolism.
Fluent in five languages, A.S. Zalmanov studied hundreds, if not thousands, of papers and visited the hospitals and clinics of the Faculty of Medicine in Berlin for eight years. At the same time, he worked at the Pathological Anatomical Institute and the Institutes of Physiology and Colloidal Chemistry.
His book The Secret Wisdom of the Human Organism was first published in France in 1958 and later translated into German and Italian. Now A.S. Zalmanov is 88 years old and he continues to work actively.
Here is everything that, from my point of view, the reader needs to know about the author, whose book, with some abbreviations, is published in Russian for the first time.
Now about the book and the ideas and thoughts that the author put into it.
The book is not written in the usual manner of a scientific, strictly structured monograph. Rather, it is a relaxed, lively, imaginative and emotional conversation with the reader. This must be taken into account in any evaluation of the book.

Sometimes this manner contributes to a more complete understanding of the issues that the author is talking about. But more often it makes it difficult. However, it is still an external stylistic feature book, rather than assessing it on its merits. What is the essence of A.S. Zalmanov, the provisions he developed?
For millions of years, the body of animals and humans has developed in the process of adapting to environment remarkable property - to resist harmful influences. This feature, very figuratively named by I.P. Pavlov's "physiological measure against disease", allows living organisms to emerge victorious in dangerous situations without any outside help.
It seems to me that in his book A.S. Zalmanov and tries to draw attention to the body's natural defenses and ways to stimulate them. That is why the author so emotionally opposes the indiscriminate use immediately and for any reason of numerous antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents.
I note right away that A.S. Zalmanov does not deny the significance of these funds at all. But one cannot but agree with him when he writes: "Modern antibiotic therapy preys on microbes and at the same time cultivates 'resistant' microbes and mycoses."
One cannot but agree with the author that vaccination and all kinds of vaccinations, starting almost from infancy, cannot contribute to maintaining the body's own defense mechanisms at the proper level. In our country, such an outstanding pathologist as I.V. Davydovsky. It is possible that A.S. Zalmanov is right when he writes that the increase in the number of all kinds of allergic diseases is associated with the flooding of the body with all kinds of sera.
Of course, it would be absurd to deny the benefits of vaccination and various sera. This would mean to go "in spite of reason, in defiance of the elements," but it is impossible not to take into account this side effect.
Moreover, A.S. is right. Zalmanov (this is especially true, of course, of foreign medicine), when he opposes the unrestrained use of all kinds of patented and generic chemotherapeutic agents, which flood medicine more and more every year in Europe and America.
At the same time, it is curious that, speaking out against Ehrlich's Terapia sterilisans magna, he turns out to be very close to the ideas that were once developed by our largest scientist, Academician AD. Speransky. By the way, we note that in general, in many places in his book, A.S. Zalmanov comes close to the ideas of A.S. Speransky about nonspecific reactions and nonspecific therapy.
In this way, the main idea A.S. Zalmanov basically boils down to the fact that special attention should be paid to the full support and stimulation of the body's natural protective resources.
There is nothing incongruous or wrong in this thought.
What idea does A.S. Zalmanov as a basis for stimulating the body's own defense mechanisms? This is “capillary therapy”, or, as he writes, a method of “deep” influence on the capillaries, or rather, on the metabolic processes occurring at the level of this part of the vascular bed.
Is this idea absurd or does it have a good reason? I believe the second is true. Unfortunately, capillary circulation in total mass very little attention is paid to works devoted to the circulatory apparatus. True, over the past 10-15 years, attention has been paid abroad to the problem of microcirculation. There have been several symposiums and conferences devoted to this important problem. In our country, interest in this problem revived only some 3-5 years ago.
And regardless of the exaggerations that A.S. Zalmanov, it must be admitted that in his assessment of the importance of the processes occurring at the level of capillaries, he is right.
So, if we talk about the grounds on which A.S. Zalmanov builds his own "deep therapy", it is impossible not to recognize their physiology.
Now it should be said about the most difficult thing that is contained in the book of A.S. Zalmanov, - about the methods of therapeutic action he proposes for various diseases. We must pay tribute to the author: offering various kinds of baths and balneological procedures, he by no means forgets and does not ignore other methods of influence. I repeat, it is enough to look into his therapeutic index to be sure of this.
What, in essence, are the proposed A.S. Zalmanov
therapeutic procedures? Acquaintance with them convinces that this is, of course, one of the types of non-specific therapy, perhaps one of the best, selected on the basis of rich experience. Such is the general assessment of the content of the book by A.S. Zalmanov, which is able to be done by a doctor by education, a physiologist by profession, who has been associated with the clinic for many years, which is the author of this preface.
Do the content of the book and the opinions of its author require a critical attitude towards them? Of course it is! But any book needs a critical attitude to its content. Without such an attitude towards any book, no books should be read at all. At the same time, it must be borne in mind that, although A.S. Zalmanov and "not a fanatic", as he himself writes about it, he could not avoid exaggerations and mistakes. Some of his judgments are naive, and the formulations are loose. Sometimes, succumbing to emotions, he loses sight of important details, sometimes he writes too generally.
And yet it would be a mistake if the book "The Secret Wisdom of the Human Organism" by A.S. Zalmanova was regarded as "nonsense", as another attempt to find a "panacea" for all diseases. Healing, which this book is aimed at, still contains an element of art, and it is up to the doctor’s talent, his experience and knowledge to extract from the book of A.S. Zalmanov useful. Extract and test in practice. It should be reckoned with the fact that its author is a knowledgeable doctor with considerable practical experience behind him.
Of course, the book The Secret Wisdom of the Human Organism would greatly benefit if it were written in a different manner and if extracts from case histories, statistical material, etc. were attached to it. etc. But in its present form, it deserves attention, and most importantly, an impartial attitude.
And finally, the last remark. The book is stamped by the Institute of Physiology. I.P. Pavlova. This, of course, is not accidental. The team of scientists of the Institute has always been and is now very closely associated with the clinic. But at the same time, this neck does not mean at all that the book by A.S. Zalmanov was tested by the scientists of the Institute. A positive attitude towards her and her assessment entirely reflect only the personal opinion of the author of this preface.

We offer an inquisitive and inquisitive reader quotes from Abram Solomonovich Zalmanov's excellent book "The Secret Wisdom of the Human Body", which I called MAXIM ZALMANOV.

One can rejoice at the wisdom of a contemporary who wrote this book in the first half of the 20th century, or one can grieve with him, because at the beginning of the 21st century everything remains the same in medicine.

MAXIM ZALMANOV

We need to make a list once and for all of our actual scientific knowledge and be aware of our shortcomings and our ignorance.

The paths of the past are too densely strewn with the remnants of numerous doctrines.

We must again learn to know life in its entirety. We must learn to understand anatomy, physiology, pathology and therapy in a new way.

What we know is animal physiology, not human physiology.

We must never forget that many diseases are at the very beginning only tiny deviations from physiological processes. However, very often we are not aware of this.

Illness means for ordinary people that a mysterious enemy has captured the body, heats it up and suffocates it.

Unfortunately, medical thinking has not been able to completely free itself from this demonic point of view to this day. We have a diagram that shows: cause - defeat - symptoms. Treatment has so far been determined primarily by the lesion. But between the cause and the lesion, between the lesion and the symptoms, there is always a tiny disturbance of function at the beginning. And only this functional violation often creates a defeat later.

Leriche believes that illness is a drama in two acts. The first act is played out in the dark silence of our fabrics, without any subdued light. When pains or other disturbing factors appear, we are already in the second act.

There are no local diseases, diseases of organs. It is always the whole person who is ill. There is no topical therapy. Each therapeutic intervention causes small or large changes in the body.

Man knows very little about the brain and he has only the possibility of discovering the world.

Delors writes about it this way: “Our so-called scientific medicine still in children's shoes. She is only 100 years old. She is just entering puberty. Other civilizations have gone far from ours, while others will follow it.

The next revolution in medicine will not cause either anarchy or blind destruction. On the contrary, it will create and build order, it will develop new clear principles and return to the good old principles that have been forgotten.

We need fundamental ideas. Without organization, soldiers are not an army, but a mob.

In medical classes, characters would have to be entered. Illumination and fantasies, yes - creative fantasy.

Observation, patience, perseverance, critical judgment and reflection are the best adjuncts of true medicine.

Deprived of human emotions, technology takes over nuclear physics for the purpose of destruction, which is similar to the instinct of termites. Life avoids rude, arrhythmic, uncontrollable explosions.

These small movements, tiny chemical reactions at an average temperature, give the body a force of resistance that is harder than steel and can be controlled with a certain precision and understanding unthinkable for technicians from the termite race. This is the great "wisdom of life."

Physicians will be able to significantly contribute to the preservation and prolongation of life, if they constantly reckon with this "wisdom of life." But they will be dangerous if they consider themselves as demiurges and allow themselves to forget the wonderful work of life, in which they want to correct the skillful life processes by gross intervention.

There are untold riches in the old building of classical medicine. But these treasures are hidden in cellars, warehouses and forgotten, they are abandoned and covered with dust. To find these spiritual values and make the right choice among them, you need to be armed with the main ideas, the sieve of teaching that filters the grains.

Unselfishness and purity of perception are needed to master a clear thought.

Human bugs and termites hate wise men and knowledgeable people. But the time will come when biologists, physiologists and physicians, after broadening their limited horizons, will bow with reverence and admiration to the wisdom of a body so fragile yet capable of resisting. A deep understanding of the wisdom of life invades the philosophical, spiritual and religious realms.

The dominance of words and the absence of thoughts are, apparently, a reflection of the eternal conflict, causing waves of disorder that overwhelm the cosmic device, destroyed by barbaric, soulless civilizations.

All philosophical systems will break, all methodologies and political mystifications will disappear, humanity will be freed from its burdensome ballast filled with stupidity, superstition and prejudice, it will look at heaven and earth with eyes filled with gratitude and gratitude for being allowed to be admitted to the grandiose spectacle of life.

The release of atomic energy is an explosion, destruction.

Accumulation material energy in a small space is fraught with the danger of an explosion. The distribution of the mass of material energy means peace and life.

The "great sterilization of the body" - Ehrlich's dream - is a utopia and will always remain so.

The opinion that groups of "antigens" are captured by a "sterile" organism, which, for its part, exposes an army of antibodies to the enemy, seems erroneous, if we realize that the so-called "sterile life" exists only as an artificial abstraction.

In the act of conception, inanimate matter is completely freed from physical and chemical laws. Instead of being dissipated, it initiates a process of tremendous concentration of life force, reproduction of living matter, splitting into cells, tissues and organs, and thus eventually an organism arises: a plant, an animal, a person - all three have their own spirit and soul, have demands and instincts and are free in their mechanical and mental movement, so that one cannot generally compare the transformations of living matter with completely different transformations of inanimate matter into energy.

The act of birth is accompanied by the emergence of a certain degree of spirituality, which can develop and have a sufficient breadth of individual freedom.

If we take into account the ideas of the Pavlovian school about conditioned reflexes, if we accept the existence of exteroreceptors and interoreceptors in every organ and in every cell as a given, and if at the same time we reject vitalism as a basic principle, then, if necessary, the plant, animal and man should be considered as a perfect cybernetic machine.

We have no choice: either vitalism, or a living world inhabited by cyborgs.

But if people are cybernetic robots, then human science becomes mechanical, automatic, soulless, meaningless, and we live in the world of cybernetic machines.

If we recognize the cybernetic world, then we must recognize the super-cybernetic being who invented and created cybernetic machines and controls them - the cybernetic god or the god of Chance.

If physicists, chemists, physiologists could free themselves from worldly prejudice, which was born from the opposition of church and science, then they would understand that without the idea of the Creator, who created physical-chemical, biological and astronomical laws, the philosophy of science becomes incomprehensible.

All branches of science are guided by the effort to reveal the plans of the Lord.

Every researcher is unconsciously a preacher.

Every scholar preaches outside the church a theology that defends the presence of God by means inconsistent with divine majesty.

Everywhere, in every cell, you will find a directed choice, a predetermined rhythm of all biochemical reactions, which is fixed once and for all, a certain reaction rate for each particle of protoplasm, a predetermined and established relationship between a particle of chlorophyll and the impact of one ultraviolet ray of the sun. This is a vast world of self-regulation, self-assimilation and self-exclusion.

Today we are in the position of destruction of our negligibly small planet, but we will not do anything with the eternal laws of the universe.

Countless antibiotics against various types of microbes and viruses, ultrasound, intravenous injections that dangerously change the composition of the blood, pneumothorax, chest plastic surgery that destroys the lungs, are considered great achievements in therapy.

A chemical-physical technology has been created, blind and inhuman, having no respect for the integrity of the poor organism and devoid of responsibility for it.

Modern medicine has become a great public danger.

Medicine that cripples must give way to an art of healing that attempts to increase energy balance.

At 90, you should die young. We need to maintain our social significance, our human dignity to the last breath. We must give the old person the opportunity to earn material assistance: for every state and for any taxpayer, this means a healthy economic policy, for an elderly person - the opportunity to live his only life, which is value.

Physiology strives, and this is its indisputable right, to measure everything that is possible.

The clinic, on the contrary, is obliged to take into account all life phenomena and even those that cannot be measured.

The myth of earthly sins will become clear if we realize that man has forgotten the idea of inner breathing, a symbol of spiritual freedom, and the meaning of his “inner ocean”, his juices, with which he is connected with cosmic life.

Is not the life of blood an absolutely extraordinary miracle?

Beneath the visible surface of the river of life, there is an invisible world of deeply moving wonders.

Stricken with blindness, bound to their microscopes, biologists are overwhelmed by the optics of their microscopes instead of becoming great apostles of the miracle of life.

There are no diseases of only one single system. The body is a whole. We have no right to waste time studying sterile systems in the clinic.

The transmission of skin sensations to the nerve centers can also take place without contact, as if our skin were exposed to radiations whose receiving antennae would be processes.

The skin is a huge peripheral brain (rather iron. Approx. Author); it is a relentless watchdog, on constant alert and immediately transmitting every disturbance, every danger, every attack to the brain center.

Biochemistry actually means "the chemistry of life"; chemistry of life phenomena. But neither chemists nor physiologists are able to give any explanation of life. Biochemists do not attempt to pose this fundamental question at all.

Biochemistry is the description of substances that are found in a living organism; she conducts research on the changes of these substances in the body. Biochemistry is unable to carry out actual biochemical reactions in its laboratories.

Everything in the body changes. Everything and everywhere.

Biochemical tests, which occupy a leading place in pathophysiology, are unable to explain the mechanisms or dominant factors of disease changes.

If chemists had the courage to say, "We know very little," or in certain cases, "We know nothing," this particular habit of discovering unnecessary terms and labeled phantoms would disappear. Maybe then they would start thinking, reflecting, comparing facts, and not heaping fragments of chemical knowledge without a plan and without a main idea.

Against every external aggression, whether it be an infection or an injury, the body builds a defense system in order, on the one hand, to destroy the invader, and on the other hand, to restore the inflicted losses, while in cases of tumors, on the contrary, the same organism seems to contribute to its own death. Having ceased his magnificent protection, his wonderful regulation, he seems to be working on his own destruction. It sends capillaries, arterioles, arteries with their ramifications to the accumulation of the initial newly formed cells to feed the tumor cells, which multiply rapidly and grow into large tumors.

He does not fight these deadly phenomena, he supplies the tumors with sufficient nutrition.

He gives the enemy his own supplies, his weapons, his lines of communication, like a commander-in-chief who betrayed his country and betrayed it.

Such observations force us to look for explanations of these phenomena outside the region where the first accumulation of newly formed cells began.

If this supercenter, for some unknown, pathological reasons, no longer fulfills its task, then uncontrolled activity occurs in the areas of the affected tissues, and as a result, excessive reproduction of tumor cells occurs. It is easy to imagine that this overcenter is located in the brain.

The increase in cancer cases in our turbulent era may create a mental climate that is the cause of these brain delusions.

Viruses, lack of drinking, exposure to harmful chemicals are secondary factors (including E.K. factors).

In 1886, the first institute for cancer research and treatment was established in Moscow. About 75 years have passed since then, and now there are at least 400 cancer institutes in the world and at least 20,000 oncologists have devoted their lives to this problem. Every country has a cancer fighting league. Every three years, cancer experts gather for a solemn congress to sum up their diligent research, which is practically an infinite zero - the sum of uncountable zeros!

Why do we face the failures of research throughout a century, undertaken for the most part by able and active people?

The reason is very simple: the cancer cell was studied separately. They did not take the trouble to get to know the cancer patient well, with all his endless reactions.

And when one is limited to studying one cell or one tissue as an isolated organ, one always gets necrology and never biology.

In the presence of neoplasms, the organism itself seems to have played its own role.

Clinical teaching, dominated by extreme specialization, impregnates the thought of students with endless blood samples, bioscopies of individual organs, highly controversial dubious laws; and there is never any mention of natural self-healing.

Clinical and therapeutic thinking must submit to the ubiquitous self-healing and autopharmacology.

The unhealthy abundance of the pharmaceutical arsenal must give way to the use of a minimum of drugs and a maximum of potency if the blockade of the autoregulatory mechanism is to be removed.

A person is wonderfully protected against heat, against severe cold, against microbes, but he remains defenseless against cruelty, envy, against the stupidity of people.

To be effective, medicine must become humble, free from all pseudo-scientific complacency.

To forget the main thing, to delve into the details, to distinguish between them with impeccable accuracy and at the same time to neglect the essential - means to show inexcusable frivolity. A broad view is the basis of planning and successful implementation.

If the fire of searching is extinguished under the ashes of routine, arsonists are needed to rekindle the dying fire.

When preparing a generalized edition of the works of A.S. Zalmanov, the author's arrangement of the material of three books was somewhat changed, namely: in the first book "Secrets and Wisdom of the Body" some questions from the second and third books are included, which are closely related to the similar topics of the first book. Combining them gives, in our opinion, a more complete picture of the problems under discussion than a scatter of the same topics over several books. What is transferred to the book "Secrets and Wisdom of the Body"? The chapter "Life and Death" includes a section from the book "The Miracle of Life" - "Life Energy", in the chapter "Physiology" - the section "Microexplosions and Radioactivity". The chapter "Between Health and Illness" combined all sections of the first and second books on fatigue. In the chapter "Pathology or from health to illness" all the questions devoted to thinking about the problem of cancer are connected. And finally, the seventh chapter on hydrotherapy of the first book ("Secrets and Wisdom of the Body") includes two sections from the book "The Miracle of Life" ("Nosology of turpentine baths" and "Happy meeting: essence of turpentine and turpentine bath") and three section from the book "Thousands of ways to recovery" - "Humoral physiopathology and hydrotherapy", "Thermotherapy (heat treatment)" and "Balneotherapy". At the end of this book, specific results of treatment according to the A.S. Zalmanov system are given, which I received together with doctors in several St. Petersburg medical institutions. It also contains descriptions of the compositions and methods for preparing yellow turpentine solution and white turpentine emulsion, as well as the technique for using hot chest wraps and some other hydroprocedures (all this was sent by A.S. Zalmanov additionally when his work was first published in the Soviet Union). In addition, appendices are given: 1) the diet of the Swiss doctor Bircher-Wenner (also sent by Zalmanov), 2) collections of medicinal herbs used in combination with hydrobalneo-procedures in the treatment of chronic respiratory diseases (chronic bronchitis, pneumonia), diseases of the heart vascular system (hypertension, atherosclerosis of the vessels of the lower extremities, varicose veins, phlebitis and thrombophlebitis), as well as diseases of the musculoskeletal system (arthritis, polyarthritis of various etiologies).
