Folk, traditional and scientific medicine - they all exist in parallel and somehow influence our life. Doctors warn: there are techniques for improving the quality of life, relieving pain and speeding up recovery, but it is impossible to rely entirely on them only when it comes to chronic and serious illnesses.
PHYTOTHERAPY
Treatment with herbal remedies. More than 2.5 thousand medicinal plants are found in traditional folk medicine in Russia, but according to the law on medicines only 250 plants are allowed for use. Phytotherapy is effective in chronic diseases, and also speeds up recovery in the case of viral diseases and inflammatory processes. Means of plant origin are slow and can accumulate in the body, so in excess quantities are dangerous. So you can not always use them, be sure to take a break.
Problem
Anna, 70 years old: Anna diagnosed with leukemia refused to be treated with chemotherapy. From the Internet, she learned that some of the poisonous plants help with cancer.
Result
Anna took the infusion of aconite on the recommendation in the instructions, gradually increasing the dose from 1 drop to 20. Having reached 14 drops, she felt very unwell. And two hours after that Anna was taken away by the ambulance with a severe intoxication.
Expert opinion
Unfortunately, this is not an isolated case. A wide propagation of poisonous plants for healing from various types of cancer is carried out everywhere. On the one hand, some of them are really used as a medicine, but in micro doses. Acquire such drugs without prescribing a doctor in the pharmacy can not! As for the specific case, the aconite is extremely poisonous. In Ancient China and Ancient Greece the juice of this plant was greased with arrows - the amazed man died instantly. And according to legend it was with the help of aconite that Genghis Khan was killed: the skull-cap he wore was saturated with poisonous infusion. In general, any phytotherapeutic drugs in the fight against such a serious disease are ineffective. They can accelerate the recovery period after chemotherapy, but no more.
HOMEOPATHY
Homeopathic preparations based on plant components have an impact precisely on those processes that require correction. For example, metabolism or vascular reactions. Such drugs are very effective, but they are not. In addition, it is important to remember that over-the-counter homeopathic medicines can only relieve the symptoms of the disease, and not cure it.
Problem
Veronica, 40years: after moving to Israel, skin problems started: "teenage" acne on the face, peeling and red crusts on the body. Cosmetologists did not solve the problem.
Result
The homeopath literally prepared a medicine in front of his eyes and prescribed only two doses. After the first dose, the itching and burning of the skin disappeared, and after the second, all skin manifestations disappeared.
Expert opinion
Cosmetologists were powerless, because the symptoms indicate a metabolic disorder. This can be a reaction to moving and climate, changing the composition of water or diet. Homeopathic preparations perfectly cope with the correction of exactly physiological processes, but only if they are selected individually. Homeopathic means of mass production can get rid of external manifestations, but not eliminate the root cause of the problem.
EASTERN METHODS
Unfortunately, not all oriental health-improving systems have been so thoroughly studied that they can be unequivocally recommended for use in Russia. It is worth considering the differences in cultures, living conditions, air quality, water and food. Under close scrutiny of medical professionals now there are such systems as Chinese health, Tibetan medicine, ayurveda and yoga.
Problem
Natalia, 25 years old: after reading about the extraordinary benefits of cleansing procedures for the body, I bought a collection of Tibetan herbs from the pharmacy and started a course of purification.
Result
Natalia literally did not leave the toilet for a few days, and a week later she had severe pains in the stomach and intestines, after which she decided to seek help from a doctor.
Expert opinion
All cleaning fees have a laxative effect, and so-called purification occurs precisely due to it. Use such fees (and in no case: not Chinese or Tibetan origin) can only 1-2 days and only in order to quickly lose weight. Otherwise, you will get yourself a bunch of troubles associated with the activity of the gastrointestinal tract, starting from dysbiosis and ending with a violation of the intestinal peristalsis. It would be superfluous to note that the official sale of medicines of Chinese or Tibetan medicine in Russia is prohibited! Doctors can not give any guarantee that they will not cause harm to health, much less guarantee their healing effect.
MANUAL THERAPY
It is aimed at identifying and eliminating defects in the functions of bones, joints, ligaments and muscles. This is the main way of general recovery of the body and treatment of the spine due to the impact on it.
Problem
Maria, 18years old. has received a microtrauma of a back on training.
Result
In addition to the subluxation of the vertebrae, the doctor diagnosed a slight curvature of the spine and prescribed 10 sessions. Pain from the subluxation passed, but there was still discomfort in the back.
Expert opinion
In this case, it was enough to eliminate the subluxation of the vertebra, and in one session, because the girl is young and in good physical shape. But correcting the curvature of the spine is not always necessary: this is the cause of discomfort in our situation. Very few people have a perfect bend. And if the patient has minor deviations, to which he is already accustomed, the task of an experienced manual therapist is to work out his muscular frame and ligaments so that they can best support the spine in the habitual condition for him.
REFLEXOLOGY
This is a way to influence pathological processes through biologically active points located on the skin. Used for neurological diseases or pain relief.
Problem
Marina, 20 years old: suffered three operations on the spine after a car accident. Analgesics with pain could not cope.
Result
The pain really started to go away, besides, Marina herself had learned to take pain with the help of acupressure.
Expert opinion
This method is often used in the postoperative period or in emergency cases to quickly relieve the pain syndrome. This high efficiency is explained in different ways. From the point of view of Chinese medicine, these points are connected with the organs by energy channels. When exposed to them, there is a redistribution of vital energy - the energy of "chi" - through the right channels. From the point of view of academic medicine, the impact on them controls the "excitation-inhibition" reflex. Thus you can get rid of the pain, but you can not eliminate the root cause. It must be treated with the usual methods.
PEOPLE'S HEALING
This bioenergetic effect: hand treatment, contactless X-ray. Doctors recognize: people who have healing abilities, there are, but explain the nature of this phenomenon can not yet. Since 2006, the official licensing of healers' activities has been introduced, they are issued with confirming certificates.
Problem
Michael, 30years old. found out that he had hepatitis C with a high degree of fibrosis (reversible destruction) of the liver. From the antiviral therapy, hair began to drop out, there was eczema, nausea and constant fatigue.
Result
The healer treated Mikhail with tongue-in-the-face water. Six months later he returned to the hepatology center, but with cirrhosis of the liver.
Expert opinion
Any type of hepatitis should be treated solely by means of official medicine. Antiviral drugs do worsen the quality of life - a doctor should warn this. But immediately after the end of the course the body is quickly restored. As for folk, traditional and scientific medicine, the first causes the most controversial emotions and opinions. The abilities of traditional healers go far beyond our understanding of the work of consciousness. In special centers specialists try every possible way to check the availability of a certain gift and offer everyone who wants to get an official healer license: bring with them the patient's testimonials and undergo a kind of testing. Subjects are asked to "charge" water or to diagnose a particular person, conduct brain research in people with phenomenal abilities: it has a number of significant differences. Of the several thousand applicants, only 50 have received licenses. But, according to official data, there are more than 100,000 people registered in Russia who practice this type of activity!
APITERAPY
Treatment of bee products: bee venom, propolis, beeswax, wax, honey. Apitherapy helps to cleanse the body, increases efficiency and endurance, and also strengthens the immune system.
Problem
Galina, 30 years old: unsuccessfully tried to cope with conjunctivitis with antiviral drugs. From the telecast I learned about the treatment of inflammatory processes with the help of honey drops.
Result
The course was really successful, conjunctivitis finally went through a week of treatment.
Expert opinion
The anti-inflammatory properties of honey are well known to us. However, all beekeeping products are strong allergens, and a young woman is very fortunate that this type of honey did not cause her an allergic reaction. The consequences could be very deplorable - from partial to total loss of vision. Therefore, before treatment, eat a little honey, from which you are going to prepare the drug or apply it to the skin of the back of the hand.
