Zalmanov & mdash; outstanding scientist, three times doctor of medicine (Russia, Germany, Italy), general of the medical service. His book & mdash; it is a lively, imaginative and emotional conversation with the reader about the body's natural defenses and how to stimulate them, a passionate speech against the widespread and often unjustified use of antibiotics and chemotherapeutic drugs, which often have a detrimental effect on the body. The core idea of the book is & mdash; & laquo; the wisdom of the body & raquo ;, its ability to self-regulate as self-healing in various & laquo; breakdowns & raquo ;. Under the influence of the works of A. Krog, who received the Nobel Prize in medicine precisely for his work on the study of the physiology of capillaries, Zalmanov created his concept based on his vast experience in healing numerous patients with chronic diseases. Treatment according to Zalmanov primarily consists in the revival of capillaries to life. He proved that using capillary therapy is possible not only treatment, but also the prevention of aging. His ideas about the dominant role of capillaries in the body, about the need to restore impaired capillary blood flow are more relevant than ever. He developed a method of capillary therapy and the formulation of white, yellow and mixed & laquo; turpentine baths & raquo; helped many, many thousands of patients.
