The secret wisdom of the human body Alexander Solomonovich Zalmanov

Scientists about the concept of A.S. Zalmanov

Zalmanov and capillaries (excerpt from the article by Prof. M. Mancini)

Agile, full of humor, small stature, with discerning eyes, with an eternal cigarette in his mouth and extremely sensitive hands, this man lived a life similar to a novel. To pay for his studies, Alexander Zalmanov was a judicial chronicler, a train inspector in the Moscow Region trains, a senior foreman at construction sites and an author of amateur plays. He devoted himself to the study of medicine, but in the fourth year of his studies he interrupted them in order to thoroughly familiarize himself with the legal sciences, literature and philosophy. "Technique alone is not enough," he said, "to create a doctor and study a person."

Then he returned to medicine and soon found himself one of the best Russian specialists. For his political convictions, which did not agree much with the directives of the tsarist government, he was exiled, went to Germany and entered the University of Heidelberg. There he became a student of the prominent neurologist Erb and visited other major specialists of the time.

In Italy (Rome), he came to Forlanini, the creator of pneumothorax. For several years he was director of a sanatorium near Geneva. Then he returned to Germany, to Heidelberg - to Krel; in Cologne he worked with Moritz, in Vienna - with Winternitz, in Marburg - with Bradech, and in Paris - with the famous cardiologist Guichard.

This is a restless person, a wanderer, insatiable inquisitive. He feels that he lacks a common, so to speak, panoramic comprehension of the human body, bodily unity, synthetic man.

This unity, which he stubbornly seeks, disappears, disintegrates into multiple specializations. Knowledge of one organ or organ system does not make it possible to see the patient as a whole, in all its integrity, and since without this it is impossible to make a correct diagnosis and successfully treat, Dr. Zalmanov continues to search.

The First World War broke out. He returned to Russia, was in charge of a military hospital, was wounded, and received a medal. After the revolution, he was entrusted with reorganizing the fight against tuberculosis, he runs the health resorts in the People's Commissariat for Health, where they treat with waters. He was entrusted to treat Lenin. And one evening long ago in 1921, in a modest apartment in the Kremlin, Lenin, satisfied with the work of his doctor, asked him, as they ask in fairy tales, if he wanted anything? His every desire will be immediately satisfied. And Dr. Zalmanov changed his habits for the second time, gave up his easy life and fame and returned to Germany.

For many years the insatiable "curious", eternally dissatisfied, visits the most famous clinics and the most famous institutes. He consistently works in the clinics of Kraus, Bergman, Gies, Sondek, Goldscheider, Schleier, Munk, in the pediatric clinics of Czerny, Eckert, Opitz, in the Lazar radiology clinic, in the Klemperer and Ulrik tuberculosis clinic, at the Lubarsch and Ressi pathological anatomy institute, in the cutaneous the Buschke and Stokel clinic, in the neurological clinic - Bongfer, at the Oppenheimer Institute of Biochemistry.

He studied, working with leading scientists, all areas of medicine; his awareness, without exaggeration, is exceptional and goes beyond the ordinary. He wanted to introduce unity and logic into an area where division reigns. He wanted to decipher what specialization made inaccessible to this deciphering: the human body in its solemn integrity and indivisible unity. The core of Zalmanov's theory is the study of an organism based on the system of blood capillaries. He argued that there is not a single disease accompanied by morphological changes, there is not a single functional disorder in which the state of the capillaries would not be the primary factor.

A. Zalmanov's thoughts are presented in the book, which has already been published in the Italian edition (A. Zalmanov. “Secrets and Wisdom of the Body.” Milan).

Wise about the mysterious wisdom of the body (Thoughts of Prof. F. Friedbert about the book of A. Zalmanov)

What can you hear from true experts in China and the Far East that they, during a long search and study, and even when it seemed to them that they were on the verge of discovering incomprehensible secrets, in fact they were convinced that they did not know anything.

The question is not much better with our ideas about life, with the ideas about our own body. No matter how many separate discoveries have been made since the time of the great Hippocrates, i.e. for 2500 years, they all remained partial, half-hearted discoveries, since in most cases, instead of considering the phenomena associated with a single cosmic universe, theoretical explanations were based on one-sided and contradictory views that led to partial or complete errors.

And in the end, after careful and careful study, it has to be argued that the history of medicine is nothing more than the history of medical errors.

Taking into account the above, it becomes clear what significance the mysterious wisdom of our body has when it is healthy and when it is sick. In order to be able to understand this mysterious wisdom, medicine of our days must completely get rid of mechanical thinking and try to move along new roads, as Alexander Zalmanov does in his book "Secrets and Wisdom of the Body", to which he gave a very figurative subtitle "Medicine of the Depths ".

The author discards seemingly spectacular external phenomena and invades the depths of life, like a mysterious wizard who has learned the wisdom of the East. We are talking about a doctor who deeply disagrees with modern medicine and offers it an open battle. A doctor of medicine who graduated from the universities of Russia, Germany and Italy, practiced in the field of medicine in the Soviet Union, who worked for 8 years in various clinics in Europe with the most famous doctors of his time, as a result of lengthy observations and reflections, he devoted himself to empirical medicine, since, according to his in his own words, the science of a sick person should remain primarily a problem of human observation. In contrast to the statements about local diseases, diseases of individual organs, Zalmanov argues that the disease always affects the whole person, proceeds from the dynamics of a living, pulsating organism and indicates the importance of blood circulation and the physiology of capillaries.

The prevailing significance of the physiology of blood circulation becomes clear if you think about the fact that, according to the data given in Zalmanov's book, the total length of the capillaries in a healthy person is 100,000 km, the length of the renal capillaries is 60 km, the surface of the capillary endothelium is 6,000 m and the surface of the pulmonary alveoli is almost 8,000 m 2. ...

A dizzying number game! Meanwhile, we are not talking about memorizing individual numbers in meters and kilometers as dead ballast in science, but about approaching the human body as a whole in the relationship of lengths and surfaces, on the broad road of the only correct physiological anatomy.

When the author draws parallels with the natural sciences, especially with modern nuclear physics, then here too he does not adore numbers and scales. In essence, the matter is about how, with the help of different sciences, to arrive at uniform truths, subject to universal laws.

On this seeming detour in principled discussions, the author builds the whole dynamics of the human body, based on blood circulation in completely new dimensions, as opposed to the usual clinical point of view. The importance of this view of the integrity of the human body was demonstrated at a medical meeting in Ulm by Dr. Solman from Munich in his presentation on the importance of spinal kinetics for the eye, confirmed by X-rays.

We suddenly begin to understand the enormous importance of the diaphragm as a "second heart" for the venous blood and lymphatic bed. We now understand what a change in the volume of organs means, both physiologically and pathologically; take at least the lungs during inhalation and exhalation, and we will understand the deep meaning of "airing" our body. From such knowledge, naturally, deep conclusions for practice grow. So, using just one example of pulmonary tuberculosis (Dr. Zalmanov has been working on tuberculosis for 26 years with his own method and has great authority on this, still such a dangerous disease), Zalmanov's point of view, proceeding from physiology, pathology, diagnostics and therapy, becomes clear. This point of view comes from deep interdependencies, from the dynamics of life. Based on this, he inevitably comes to a natural approach to the body, in which, along with hydro- and balneotherapy, he attaches great importance to the principles of self-regulation of the body, which frees itself from toxic and harmful substances by drainage. At the same time, the author devotes minimal space to medicines.

I want to briefly say once again: we must give this book a special place in our medical literature. It was created by the author on the basis of deep knowledge and vast practical experience. She can give invaluable a lot to every physician in whose heart she will find a response and who understands the need to raise the level of his biological knowledge. The book is written in a fascinatingly interesting way, and acquaintance with it leaves an indescribable impression.

Academician B.N.Klosovsky About A.Zalmanov's book "Secrets and Wisdom of the Body" (Deep Medicine)

The facts and reasoning given in his book by A. Zalmanov are aimed at convincing doctors in various pathological conditions of the body, instead of an inexhaustible amount of chemical and pharmacological agents, to widely use physical methods of treatment.

A. A. Zalmanov, on the basis of more than 60 years of experience as a practical doctor, came to the conclusion that the main reasons leading to the pathology of one or another organ, and later on the whole organism, are disorders of the functioning of the humoral systems of the body - lymphatic, circulatory and especially its capillary parts. Therefore, the author of the book rebels against the introduction of medicinal substances, especially the introduction of them by injection. He calls for an in-depth study of humoral pathology, i.e. to the study of the qualitative and quantitative accounting of disorders occurring in the composition of the fluids of the human body.

A. Zalmanov considers violations of the physiology of capillaries as one of the main points of human diseases. To what he noticed with his keen and thoughtful eye of a practitioner and generalized into the theory of the pathogenesis of most diseases, experimental science came after numerous experiments on animals and testing them in the clinic.

We cannot but agree with A. Zalmanov regarding the view that metabolism occurs at the capillary level. Our joint with E.N. Kosmarskoy research, summarized in the monograph "The active and inhibitory state of the brain" (1962).

We have shown that the blood circulation of one or another organ cannot be regarded as nutrition of an organ or cell with arterial blood. Each organ or cell must be provided with two systems, namely a system that brings arterial blood, and a system that ensures the outflow of venous blood with the metabolic products of an organ or cell. Both systems must work accurately and in conjunction. If one of the systems fails, and the other does not cope with the overload, pathological processes arise in the body that ultimately lead to illness.

That is why A. Zalmanov focuses all his attention on maintaining the normal functioning of these two systems: on restoring the correct capillary circulation, on freeing the body from the products of reverse metamorphosis accumulated in the venous bed of blood vessels. For this, the author recommends methods of treatment such as the use of leeches. However, he focuses much of his attention on the hydrotherapeutic procedures that he developed in detail and described in his book. These are mainly thermal baths with various impurities (with white turpentine emulsion or yellow solution). A. Zalmanov notes that white turpentine emulsion is able to increase blood pressure, yellow, on the contrary, to lower it.

In some cases, their use alternates both with each other and with the addition of hay and walnut leaves to the baths.

A. Zalmanov also recommends local wraps or immersion in an increasing temperature bath of individual parts of the body, for example, arms and legs, thereby not only achieving local expansion of capillaries, but also improving blood circulation by reflex in distant parts of the body. The foregoing allows us to think about a broad perspective for a more in-depth study of the interdependence of blood supply to individual parts of the body.

It should be noted that A. Zalmanov carries out all his appointments not trivially according to a stencil, but after a thorough biochemical study of the composition of body fluids. In this regard, the author's views on the importance of the diaphragm as a "second heart" for the body, which promotes the outflow of lymphatic fluid and venous blood into the venous bloodstream, are interesting.

A. Zalmanov's book calls on the doctor to be critical of the use of various medicinal substances, which in some cases bring relief to one organ or another, at the same time disrupting the function of another organ. As a result of the huge number of various chemical-pharmaceutical substances produced daily, it is not possible for a practitioner to observe their positive effect in some cases, or negative in others. In this respect, the sad fate of such a "wonderful" sedative as the tranquilizer released by West German industry is a good example.

This remedy met its purpose, and the persons who applied it really experienced calming, had a good restful sleep. However, the use of this drug in pregnant women led in almost 100% of cases to the birth of children with various deformities, especially with phocomelia. And only after using this sedative for a number of years, after the appearance of more than one thousand ugly children, practical doctors noticed its negative properties.

Many doctors began to notice that other newest chemical and pharmaceutical agents ultimately lead the body not to a cure, but to new diseases. In this regard, several monographs have appeared in the literature, treating about medicinal agents that cause diseases (for example, G. Alexander. "Complications during drug therapy". M., 1958).

A. Zalmanov's book leads the doctor to rational therapy and prevention aimed at restoring the disturbed functions of the body as a whole or in its individual parts, at preventing diseases and aging of the body, at prolonging its life. Therefore, the return to natural methods of treatment on a new, scientifically developed basis, to which A. Zalmanov's book appeals, must be fully supported. The book, which has been translated into almost all major languages, must be translated into Russian as well.

Zalmanov Alexander Solomonovich

The secret wisdom of the human body

Editor's Foreword to First Edition

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 resistance from the official representatives of medicine. This forces me to say more about her than is usually done. 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 Faculty of Medicine at Moscow University. 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 entered the first year of the Faculty of Law, combining jurisprudence 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 Faculty of Medicine with a Doctor of Medicine degree. Subsequently, he received two more diplomas - Russian and Italian.

During the First World War, Zalmanov returned to Russia and was the senior physician-head of medical trains. After the Great October Socialist Revolution, in 1918, he worked as 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. Lenin knew him personally and appreciated him as an experienced doctor. A.S. Zalmanov and to this day the certificate given to him by V.I. Lenin and written in his hand.

Later 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, inspired in him a desire to thoroughly study the issues of capillary circulation and cell metabolism.

Being fluent in five languages, A.S. Zalmanov studied hundreds, if not thousands, of works and for eight years visited hospitals and clinics of the medical faculty in Berlin. At the same time, he worked at the Pathological Institute and the Institutes of Physiology and Colloidal Chemistry.

His book "The Secret Wisdom of the Human Body" was first published in France in 1958, and then translated into German and Italian. Now A.S. Zalmanov is 88 years old and 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 being 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 casual, lively, imaginative and emotional conversation with the reader. This must be taken into account when evaluating a book.

Sometimes this manner contributes to a fuller understanding of the issues that the author is talking about. But more often it makes it difficult. However, this is still an external, stylistic feature of the book, and not an assessment of its essence. What is the essence of A.S. Zalmanov, the provisions he developed?

Over the course of millions of years, the organisms of animals and humans have developed, in the process of adapting to the environment, a remarkable property - to resist harmful influences. This feature, very figuratively named by I.P. Pavlov as a "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 will notice right away that A.S. Zalmanov does not at all deny the importance of these funds in general. But one cannot but agree with him when he writes: "Modern therapy with antibiotics 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 help maintain the body's own defense mechanisms at the proper level. 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 serums.

Of course, it would be ridiculous to deny the benefits of vaccination and various sera. This would mean going “against reason, in defiance of the elements,” but it is impossible not to reckon with this side effect.

Moreover, A.S. Zalmanov (this especially applies, of course, to foreign medicine), when he speaks out against the unbridled use of all kinds of patented and generic chemotherapeutic agents that are flooding more and more medicine in Europe and America from year to year.

At the same time, it is curious that, opposing Ehrlich's Terapia sterilisans magna, he turns out to be very close to the ideas that were once developed by our greatest scientist, Academician A.D. Speransky. Let us note by the way 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.

Thus, the main idea of ​​A.S. Zalmanov basically boils down to the fact that one should pay special attention to all-round support and stimulation of the body's natural protective resources.

There is nothing incongruous or incorrect 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, more precisely - on the metabolic processes occurring at the level of this part of the vascular bed.

Is this idea nonsense, or is it a good reason? I believe the second is true. Unfortunately, very little attention is paid to capillary circulation in the general mass of works devoted to the circulatory apparatus. True, over the past 10-15 years, attention has been paid abroad to the problem of microcirculation. Several symposia and conferences have been held on this important issue. Our interest in this problem revived only 3-5 years ago.

Alexander (Abram) Solomonovich Zalmanov was born in Russia in 1875. After graduating from the gymnasium, he entered the Faculty of Medicine at Moscow University. However, having already entered the 4th year, he left the Faculty of Medicine.

In 1896 Zalmanov entered the first year of the Faculty of Law, combining jurisprudence 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.

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.

Lenin knew him personally and appreciated him as an experienced doctor. A.S. Zalmanov still keeps the certificate given to him by V. I. Lenin and written by his hand.

Later A.S. Zalmanov worked a lot in various clinics in the largest cities in Europe. The monograph by A. Krogh on the physiology of capillaries, awarded the Nobel Prize, inspired in him a desire to thoroughly study the issues of capillary circulation and cell metabolism.

His book "The Secret Wisdom of the Human Body" was first published in France in 1958, and then translated into German and Italian.

The secret wisdom of the human body

The book combines three works by A. S. Zalmanov: "Secrets and Wisdom of the Body" (1958), "Miracle of Life" (1960) and "Thousands of Ways to Recovery" (1965).

In these works, the author outlined the results of his many years of experience in the treatment of numerous chronic diseases, the theoretical basis of which was the idea of ​​the most important role of the capillary system in the development of pathological conditions and in recovery.

Alexander/ 02/11/2016 As far as I understand, the best version of the book was published by Phoenix Publishing House. Please sell the book to someone.

Alexander/ 11.02.2016 ZALMANOV-GENIUS. In my practice I try to be guided by the ideas of the TEACHER. I am looking for followers of the great master to exchange experience. Farming on its modern scale strangles the mind of the doctor.

Guest/ 10.02.2016 It was not the doctors who did this with medicine, but the lawmakers lost education and medicine. And it surprises me that everyone can see what is happening and no one has realized that something needs to be done until they have lost everything. And doctors who want to preserve the art of healing disperse to paid centers

Nabis/ 25.11.2015 A.S. Zalmanov is the greatest, scientist, doctor. Thanks for his books. Everything is simple, accessible, brilliant!

Valentine/ 09/10/2015 Thank you for your feedback, tell me where you can download his 66-year-old book ??? Zalmanov SUPER doctor, this is a very big problem !!!

Tatiana S./ 3.04.2014 Following the links, you get to Ozone, where the book "The Secret Wisdom of the Human Body" is offered (which is not currently on sale at Ozone). Shown is the cover of Zalmanov's book, which was published in Moscow, in 1991, ed. "Young Guard" "Dialect". It actually has 224 pages. Translated from French by Z.D. Damperova, translated from German (!) And edited by NuMu Vertkin and S.I. Vysheslavtseva. And this is only the first book. The other two are not included. I found one in the internet and downloaded it. This information is for those who want to find all three books.
Zalmanov is a great doctor, physiologist and man. Such doctors, scientists and intellectuals, can hardly be raised and educated by modern education.

Tolyan/ 25.11.2012 I took skip baths for about six months every day for 20-25 minutes .... no result .... maybe this is due to pharmaceutical preparations ... maybe not what is needed ... but experience application is not optimistic .... Zalmanov writes that there will be coronary improvements ... but I did not feel them.

Mark/ 03/18/2011 Tatiana,
which edition of the book is the most complete?

Surah/ 3.11.2010 Someone tell me the name of the book in French

Tatyana/ 12.06.2009 I didn't like it very much! Compared to the same book published in the USSR in 66 g, it sucks! It seems that it was not a medic who translated it and was too literal. Here, for example: In this book: "In every living and plant organism, we find in a relatively small volume a huge expansion and superficial contraction." Also in book 1966: "In every living and plant organism, a surface is enclosed in a relatively limited volume of enormous dimensions." And in such a clumsy language the whole book is written. Better to read the original. Or the 66g book, although it is cut down.

Sergey Gedzira/ 4.03.2009 Now A.S. Zalmanov is 88 years old and he continues to work actively. What year "now" are we living in?

Leko/ 21.01.2009 Book - The Greatest! And about the amazing results of a simple hot chest wrap can not be retelled. Everyone wants to shout: "People! It's so easy! So free! So effective! Do it and you will be healthy!"

This feature, very figuratively named by I.P. Pavlov as a "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 will notice right away that A.S. Zalmanov does not at all deny the importance of these funds in general. But one cannot but agree with him when he writes: "Modern therapy with antibiotics 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 help maintain the body's own defense mechanisms at the proper level. 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 serums.
Of course, it would be ridiculous to deny the benefits of vaccination and various sera. This would mean going “against reason, in defiance of the elements,” but it is impossible not to reckon with this side effect.
Moreover, A.S. Zalmanov (this especially applies, of course, to foreign medicine), when he speaks out against the unbridled use of all kinds of patented and generic chemotherapeutic agents that are flooding more and more medicine in Europe and America from year to year.
At the same time, it is curious that, opposing Ehrlich's Terapia sterilisans magna, he turns out to be very close to the ideas that were once developed by our greatest scientist, Academician AD. Speransky. Let us note by the way 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.
Thus, the main idea of ​​A.S. Zalmanov basically boils down to the fact that one should pay special attention to all-round support and stimulation of the body's natural protective resources.
There is nothing incongruous or incorrect 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, more precisely - on the metabolic processes occurring at the level of this part of the vascular bed.
Is this idea nonsense, or is it a good reason? I believe the second is true. Unfortunately, very little attention is paid to capillary circulation in the general mass of works devoted to the circulatory apparatus. True, over the past 10-15 years, attention has been paid abroad to the problem of microcirculation. Several symposia and conferences have been held on this important issue. Our interest in this problem revived only 3-5 years ago.
And regardless of the exaggerations that A.S. Zalmanov, we must admit that in his assessment of the importance of the processes occurring at the level of the capillaries, he is right.
So, if we talk about the grounds on which A.S. Zalmanov is building his "deep therapy", then one cannot but admit their physiological nature.
Now it should be said about the most difficult thing that is contained in the book by A.S. Zalmanov, - about the methods of therapeutic action he offers for various diseases. We must pay tribute to the author: offering various kinds of baths and balneological procedures, he by no means forgets or ignores other methods of influence. I repeat, it is enough to look at his therapeutic index to be sure of this.
What, in essence, are the proposed by A.S. Zalmanov
therapeutic procedures? Acquaintance with them convinces us that this is, of course, one of the types of nonspecific therapy, perhaps one of the best, selected on the basis of rich experience. This is the general assessment of the content of A.S. Zalmanov, who is able to make a doctor by training, a physiologist by specialty, for many years associated with the clinic, which is the author of this preface.
Do the content of the book and the opinions of its author need a critical attitude towards them? Of course it is! But any book needs a critical attitude to its content. Without this attitude to any book, no books should be read at all. It should be borne in mind that, although A.S. Zalmanov and “not a fanatic”, as he himself writes about this, he did not manage to avoid exaggerations and mistakes. Some of his judgments are naive, and his formulations are loose. Sometimes, succumbing to emotions, he loses sight of important details, sometimes he writes too broadly.
And yet it would be a mistake if the book "The Secret Wisdom of the Human Body" by A.S. Zalmanova was regarded as "nonsense", as another attempt to find a "panacea" for all diseases. The medicine that this book is aimed at still contains an element of art, and it is a matter of the doctor's talent, experience and knowledge to extract from the book of A.S. Zalmanov useful. Extract and test in practice. It should be considered that its author is a knowledgeable doctor with considerable practical experience behind him.
Of course, the book "The Secret Wisdom of the Human Body" would greatly benefit if it were written in a different manner and were accompanied by extracts from case histories, statistical material, etc. etc. But in its present form, it deserves attention, and most importantly - an impartial attitude.
And finally, one last remark. The book bears the stamp of 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 very closely associated with the clinic. But at the same time, this stamp does not at all mean that the book of A.S. Zalmanova was approved 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.

The history of the invention and development of the method

Method therapy with turpentine baths according to Zalmanov gained fame relatively recently. Zalmanov's book "The Secret Wisdom of the Human Body", published in Paris in 1958, opened capillarotherapy to the world and had a major impact on medicine. In the Soviet Union, this work was published 5 years later in a small print run and soon became a bibliographic rarity.



Abram (Alexander) Solomonovich Zalmanov


Zalmanov was looking for a therapeutic method that had a beneficial effect on the entire body at once, since he did not consider it expedient to influence a separate organ or tissue. Turpentine baths became the basis of the famous capillary therapy, which improves the state of the entire biological system called “man”. The mechanism of their therapeutic action is simple, like everything ingenious: turpentine irritates skin receptors, causing reflex opening and blood filling of reserve capillaries. Because of this, the supply of oxygen, glucose and other nutrients to the cells increases, venous blood flow is stimulated, and the removal of decay products from the intercellular fluid, cells and blood itself is accelerated.

Fact

For centuries we have been living in conditions of heat deficiency, which is why we are attracted to rest in tropical resorts, and baths, saunas and hot baths serve as an excellent healing remedy for a variety of ailments. Needless to say, an organism suffering from diseases is more sensitive to a lack of heat than a healthy one.

Heat treatment used for a long time by a variety of peoples. Observant healers of the past have appreciated the properties of water that can be used as a cleansing agent, as well as a medium that ensures close contact with the skin and an even heat transfer. Perhaps, it is the tradition of short-term (4–5 minutes) hot baths that Japan owes to the record low percentage of patients with rheumatism and cardiovascular disorders. How widespread bathing is in this country can be judged at least by the number of public institutions that provide this service to the population.

Fact

Before the 1923 earthquake, there were 800 bathrooms in Tokyo alone. To get a sense of the scale, imagine that about 400,000 people could take a bath during a day in Tokyo. Moreover, the cost of this pleasure did not exceed 1 sous, that is, baths were available to all, without exception, segments of the population.


The famous Japanese bath - ofuro


Scientists have proven that heat is energy, the role of which in the body is similar to nutrition. The energy balance of the body is equally dependent on these two components, and one type of energy can compensate for the lack of the other: a lack of heat requires an increase in the amount of nutrients, some of which are spent on heating the body. The opposite is also true: external heat leads to more efficient absorption and use of nutrients, which makes it possible to reduce their consumption. In addition, having enough heat allows the body not to store nutrients in adipose tissue to protect it from the cold.

External heat serves as an additional source of energy, helping the weakened body to fight off viruses and bacteria. Moreover, the bacteria themselves become less dangerous at high temperatures. The brilliant scientist Louis Pasteur discovered that under conditions of high temperature (42.5 ° C), strains of anthrax bacilli lose their infectiousness. This property was used to make a vaccine against anthrax, but later the method of hyperthermia was never studied.

Naturally, each human organism is unique, and each has its own thermal optimum. There are more and less cold-resistant people. But the emerging need for warmth must necessarily be satisfied in full and not be considered a manifestation of effeminacy. No one argues about the need to eat well, so why is it often considered unnecessary to provide the body with heat energy above the minimum?

The need for warmth does not mean that you need to wrap yourself up and avoid any cold. For the development of the adaptive capabilities of the body, and therefore for health in general, the alternation of cold and heat is much more useful than a constant temperature. Therefore, a healthy person in the summer heat is useful cold rubdowns, and in winter - hot baths.



An increase in temperature is a protective reaction of the body to the penetration of infection


The body has its own defensive reactions to the intake of infectious agents or foreign proteins associated with an increase in temperature. Fever mobilizes leukocytes to fight against hostile microorganisms, and also speeds up the metabolism, which is necessary for the rapid neutralization of toxic elements. The processes occurring in the body with a fever and taking a hot bath are very similar, but there are significant differences. First of all, the heat from the baths is sterile, there is no infection in the body, which means that all mobilized forces are spent not on fighting invading microbes, but on building new cells, restoring damage and renewing tissues and organs. An increase in temperature in infectious diseases increases the number of leukocytes, increases acidity, and is accompanied by increased protein breakdown. The general state of health is deteriorating. In hyperthermic baths, protein synthesis prevails over its breakdown, acid-base balance and blood biochemical parameters remain normal, and a person feels better.

Of course, you should not use hot baths at elevated temperatures: you can disrupt the thermoregulation of the body and get an uncontrolled rise or fall in body temperature. But a long-term chronic illness, when the body's defenses are depleted and, despite the presence of infection, the temperature does not rise or rises slightly, is a direct indication for the use of hot baths. Baths prescribed according to a certain scheme can awaken the body's defenses and help recovery.



Hot baths are the most affordable way to improve your well-being


Modern practice shows the great efficiency of the method when using turpentine baths according to Zalmanov. Deforming arthritis and old ankylosis, before which simple hot baths were powerless, are quite amenable to treatment with turpentine baths. Cases of treatment of ankylosis of the arm of thirty years ago and ankylosis of the leg, which lasted 6 years, were recorded.

From clinical practice

The ability to walk came back to me only thanks to the turpentine baths. I took yellow and mixed baths in courses for six months, and the arthrosis of the knee and hip joints receded! My blood pressure returned to normal. For a long time I lived with an elevated (up to 300 mm Hg), and now I understand how wonderful it is to feel like a healthy person! I have not yet fully returned to mobility, but there is confidence in the correctness of the chosen treatment.

Olga T., 43 years old, Yekaterinburg

What is turpentine? There are people who are prejudiced against it, in their perception it is a caustic liquid used in paint and varnish production, which has no prospects in the field of medicine. And even the explanation that medical turpentine is made using a different technology and is fundamentally different from the technical one does not get rid of such an attitude. Therefore, in medicine, more attractive-sounding names are often used: turpentine oil, or sap.

Fact

Turpentine is a liquid product of the distillation of the resin of coniferous trees, a mixture of organic substances, mainly terpenes. Turpentine has a local irritating, analgesic and antimicrobial effect, is a part of many pharmaceutical ointments and is widely used in official medicine and veterinary medicine as a means of inhalation for respiratory diseases.


Pine - a source of gum turpentine


The healing qualities of turpentine have been known for a long time. Even in ancient Egypt, compresses and poultices from dried pine or fir needles were used to treat wounds and stop bleeding. For the same purposes, turpentine oil was also used, which at that time they already knew how to make. During the plague epidemic in the 16th century, the only effective means of preventing infection with a fatal disease were bactericidal fumes of turpentine.

Note

In Russian traditional medicine, turpentine occupied an honorable place. Published in 1868, "People's Clinic" is written about pine resin, which helps to treat rheumatism, gout, wounds and joint pains of any origin. Comprehensively educated surgeon Pirogov, using turpentine, achieved good healing of wounds after amputation of limbs during the Russian-Turkish war of 1877. Zhivitsa really helped save many lives.

Before Zalmanov, turpentine was used exclusively in the form of an active ingredient in medicinal ointments, rubbing and compresses. The problem of using turpentine in aqueous solutions is that this substance does not mix with water, forming a thin film on its surface. If you use pure turpentine, only a small area of ​​the skin will come into contact with it, which will be burned as a result, while turpentine will have no effect on the rest of the human body.

In 1904, the famous Russian doctor, who received a doctorate in medicine in Germany (1901) and Italy (1903), managed to create two methods of emulsifying turpentine, allowing the substance to mix with water. After that, it became possible to use gum turpentine in hydrotherapy. Zalmanov developed two types of bath turpentine preparations with the opposite effect on blood pressure in the vessels: a white emulsion that increases blood pressure and a yellow solution that lowers the pressure. By mixing drugs in one bath, you can achieve the optimal effect on pressure and capillaries for a particular person at the moment with existing diseases.

Zalmanov deeply studied the problems of balneology, working at the best resorts in Russia, Italy, Germany and France. He came to the idea of ​​turpentine baths in the course of researching the healing effects of water on the human body. Having made sure that hot and cold baths can affect the functional state of capillaries, regulate water exchange, restore the energy saturation of depleted cells and tissues, normalize vascular permeability, that is, restore the health of the body in a comprehensive manner, Zalmanov was the first to use salt and herbal supplements in baths. Then he began to prescribe to patients not only general baths, but also hand or foot baths, and later, reflecting on the improvement of Valinsky's hyperthermic baths, he decided to use the famous turpentine gum for the procedures.

In 1918, A.S. Zalmanov was appointed head of the Main Resort Administration and Chairman of the State Commission for the Fight against Tuberculosis. The scientist disseminated the method of hydrotherapy and the use of turpentine baths in sanatoriums and hospitals. Until now, this procedure is used in hospitals, sanatoriums and resorts in Russia and other countries that were part of the USSR and preserved the best traditions of the Soviet medical school.

An excellent clinician who knew how to carefully examine the patient and accurately diagnose, the personal doctor of Lenin and Krupskaya, Zalmanov understood all the imperfection of medical methods and tried to find harmless methods of therapy. In search of new knowledge, with the permission of the leader, he went abroad. After the death of Vladimir Ilyich, Zalmanov was forbidden to return to the Soviet Union, all his requests for this remained unanswered. So he ended up in Europe. He worked in several large clinics, wrote books and refused to replace the Soviet passport, calling himself a citizen of the USSR until his death.

In 1920, Danish physiologist August Krogh received the Nobel Prize for his research in the physiology of capillaries at the microscopic level. Zalmanov, who followed all the innovations in medical science, realized that it was in the area of ​​capillary blood flow and metabolism at the cell level that the answer to the question that tormented him was: how to help the body heal itself? He worked through many articles on this topic in the most detailed way, analyzed the work of capillaries (at the Pathological Institute, Institute of Physiology and Colloidal Chemistry), while continuing to practice at the clinic of the Faculty of Medicine in Berlin and other medical institutions. As a result, the Russian doctor found practical application for the brilliant discovery of the Danish physiologist.



Physiologist August Krogh, who studied capillary circulation


During World War II, Zalmanov lived in Paris. His name was known in Germany, according to his method, the elite of the Third Reich was treated, therefore, even refusing to head the Paris hospital and treat German soldiers, the doctor remained alive. He was not damaged by his Jewish origin, or Soviet citizenship, or the fact that he secretly provided medical assistance to the fighters of the French Resistance.

After the war, Zalmanov theoretically substantiated capillary therapy, popularized the technique among colleagues and trained students-successors. In 1946, the scientist held several conferences in Switzerland and France. Violent activity gave the result: in 1952, turpentine baths as a therapeutic method received official recognition from the French Ministry of Health. The queue for an appointment with the "capillary healer" was scheduled for two years in advance.

The success did not turn the doctor's head and did not prevent him from continuing to work methodically on the formulation of his theory. In 1956 the book "Secrets and Wisdom of the Body" was published, in 1958 - "The Secret Wisdom of the Human Body", in 1960 - "The Miracle of Life". In them, the scientist reveals the essence of capillarotherapy, shares his observations and practical results. Shortly before the death of Zalmanov, his last work, "Thousands of Ways to Recovery" (1965), was published.

The book "The Secret Wisdom of the Human Body" was published with an appendix containing comprehensive information on the technique of turpentine baths. As soon as it was published, Zalmanov sent one copy to Moscow, to the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences. A world-renowned scientist asked to publish a book in Russian and send young specialists to him for training, so that he could pass on the experience of healing diseases that were considered incurable, completely free of charge. There was no answer this time either.

Zalmanov's book appeared in Russia anyway. One of the doctors of the departmental polyclinic of the USSR Academy of Sciences got hold of the French version and, after reading it, decided to treat one of his patients with turpentine. The effect exceeded all expectations, then the doctor and his sympathizers tried to publish Zalmanov's books in Russia.

This was achieved in 1966, when the genius doctor, who so relied on the recognition of his methods in his homeland, was no longer alive. Zalmanov died at the age of 90, maintaining excellent health, good memory and clarity of thought until the last day. He really managed to create an effective recipe for longevity and overcome the most unpleasant moments of old age.

In the books of Zalmanov, which were published in Soviet Russia, corrections were made in the recipes for emulsifying turpentine so that the reader could not prepare the solution at home and self-medicate.

In the rest of the world, turpentine baths gained popularity during the lifetime of their creator. They are still successfully used in the sanatoriums of Italy, Switzerland, Germany and, of course, France. They also knew about this method and its effectiveness in Russia. First, Zalmanov baths were used in Kremlin clinics, and later - in the Central Institute of Physiotherapy and Balneology.



Yuri Yakovlevich Kamenev - student of Zalmanov


Under Brezhnev, the therapist Y. Kamenev, who served in the Armed Forces and therefore did not obey the Ministry of Health, showed courage by defending a thesis according to the Zalmanov method, whom official medicine at that time accused of quackery. Kamenev did not confine himself to one bold act, introducing treatment with turpentine baths at the department of advanced therapy for doctors of the St. Petersburg Military Medical Academy named after S. M. Kirov.

Today turpentine baths are available to all social strata of the population. Research at the Research Institute of Balneology revealed the normalization of blood composition as a result of therapy with turpentine baths, convincingly proving their benefits. Since then, Zalmanov baths have become popular in the spa treatment of various diseases. They can be done at home by purchasing a ready-made emulsion or solution and exactly following all the instructions for preparing and taking a bath.

Zalmanov's name has been cleared of all suspicions of charlatanism, his therapeutic technique is recognized, books are published, and his museum has been opened at the Military Medical Academy, which houses the scientist's archive, transferred by his family in 1979. The relatives had to work hard to fulfill the last will of the doctor and take the archive and library home - for 7 years they were not given permission to do this, until the family sent to Russia a Zalmanov certificate signed by Lenin and a pass to the Kremlin in his name. But even now, when the name of the scientist is widely known, his archive has not yet been studied by anyone and ideas have not yet taken their rightful place in official medicine.

Although some progress is still there: private clinics use turpentine baths along with other naturopathic methods of therapy, there is literature on the treatment of capillaries, the industry produces bath solutions at home, some of them are added with herbal extracts and essential oils, which make the smell more pleasant ... There are many sites where people share their experience of taking turpentine baths, there are other resources on the Internet that give medical advice on capillarotherapy and allow you to order solutions.

In many ways, turpentine baths owe their popularity to Yuri Yakovlevich Kamenev and his book “A. S. Zalmanov. Capillary therapy and naturotherapy of diseases ”, setting out all the information known by that time about gum baths in simple and understandable language.

AS Zalmanov wrote: “If a means is found to expand the capillaries when they are compressed by a spasm, a means to stop the paralyzing atony when they are dilated; if an opportunity is found to improve their insufficient permeability or curb their exuberant permeability, then the nutrition of tissues and cells will be improved, the supply of cells with oxygen will be established, tissue drainage will be facilitated, the energy balance of the affected tissues will be increased; if we improve, establish tissue nutrition, the cells in a state of bionecrosis (necrosis) will be brought back to life, and the elimination (removal) of cell waste will be ensured in order to avoid slow but dangerous protein intoxication (poisoning). "

The doctor devoted his whole life to finding this remedy. In medical practice, he used all the physiotherapeutic methods known at that time, but their effectiveness seemed insufficient to Zalmanov. It took time, an active search for an answer and an acquaintance with the method of hot baths of Valinsky to find an effective remedy for many diseases - turpentine baths.

The main Benefits Gum baths, distinguishing them from other physiotherapeutic methods, consist in a complex effect on the capillary network and in the convenience of their use. Zalmanov baths are one of the few methods of treatment that does not contradict the physiology of the human body, but, on the contrary, contributes to the manifestation of its own regenerative capabilities. Baths do not violate the internal balance of the body and the biochemical composition of its tissues and at the same time have a beneficial effect on metabolism. They do not cause pathological changes in internal organs and do not violate their functions, which is what they differ from pharmacological treatment with its side effects according to the principle "we treat one thing, we cripple the other." A person taking turpentine baths is insured against medical error, wrong choice of medicine and wrong dosage.

Pharmacological agents are another matter: they are toxic, while the side effects of new drugs do not become known immediately, but after several years of widespread use. This has happened before: the history of pharmacology is replete with examples of how many popular drugs were subsequently banned because of their carcinogenic or toxic effects. Therefore, medicines should be taken very carefully: the poisoned body will not feel better because the drug that has disturbed its health will later be banned.



Unjustified addiction to pills is dangerous

Fact

Among medicines, only two have overcome the 100-year barrier. These are aspirin and Zalman solutions for turpentine baths, which is very significant. Moreover, aspirin has been found to have many side effects, the harmful effects of which can be avoided only with careful, short-term use and when monitoring a blood test.

In general, if the condition is not critical, it is better to resort to naturopathic remedies, leaving chemical and surgical methods for extreme cases. If baths are as effective as medicines, and there is no harm from them, is it worth poisoning your body with pharmacological drugs?

Turpentine baths cope with the task of restoring the work of the capillary bed so successfully that they can become the basis for the treatment of any known disease. The mechanism of their effect on blood circulation is multifaceted and worthy of detailed consideration.
