Two-faced cold: a vaccine for all diseases. Part 1

At the beginning of the two thousandth, the inhabitants of Nizhny Novgorod with the onset of winter observed an amazing picture: in the central square of the city, an intelligent, slender middle-aged woman in an unfastened linen jacket over a light dress neatly forced snowdrifts, trying not to lose short autumn ankle boots in them. The omniscient folk rumor whispered that the lady was not crazy at all, and shocked the people only for their own health and youth. And she was not going to a psychiatric hospital at all, but to serve at a medical institute at one of the scientific departments.

We, students, escorted the frost-resistant professor with admiring glances, left scarves and warm pullovers at home, hoping for eternal youth and good health.

There were people in our time ...

That time, it should be noted, was rich in examples of hardening. Each yard had an ice-free puddle - these were the “children” of the famous king of walruses, Porfiry Ivanov, pouring two buckets of water on themselves in the morning, overflowing with energy and love for themselves and the teacher Porfiry.

Today, at a wormwood, on a normal non-baptismal day, it is easier to see a real walrus, mustachioed and pinniped, than a person who regularly takes ice baths. People with full buckets on a frosty morning also turned up. Perhaps this is the reason that in Russia the number of people with the flu and colds has increased: in the late nineties, one in three was sick, now every second is sick. According to the site Epidemiologist. ru and the head of the Ministry of Health Veronika Skvortsova, in 2000 only 38 people died from the flu, and in 2016, only in January, the flu claimed 107 lives! The most famous virus fighter Gennady Onishchenko asked the population not to panic and ... open the windows.

Are you kidding me? Not at all. Besides the fact that airing lowers the concentration of the virus in the room, this simple preventative act lowers the ambient temperature. Half an hour and indoors + 8 ° С - it's time to take cold air baths! In the Soviet Union, air baths were administered along with injections and pills. They treated psoriasis and hypertension, sciatica and myositis, and even tuberculosis.

In the 21st century, cold is also treated, the method is called cryotherapy, 1 minute of such therapy in Karlovy Vary, for example, will cost 2 thousand rubles. Of course, in modern cryosaunas the temperature is not + 8 ° C, but −170 ° C, but the physiological mechanisms and the effect that walking is not closer on your own balcony, that standing in a chamber at a pompous resort, by and large, is the same.

How the cold heals

Human skin is equipped with a huge number of receptors that track the vibrational, mechanical, temperature and even gravitational effects. There are especially many points in the epidermis that respond to cold: they are 10 times more than nerve endings that recognize heat. If at the same time all the Krause cones (as the human cold sensors are called, and for a minute, 250 thousand of them) react to the cold, a real revolution will take place in the brain with the situation in place, taking over the telegraph, train stations and expropriating property.

The immune system for 10 minutes increases the number of lymphocytes in the blood. This is similar to the effect of vaccination: immunity from the disease is developed. The only difference is that the “cold vaccine” is effective against all diseases at once.

The nervous system first compresses the blood vessels, depriving the skin of blood, and then relaxes, so that new capillaries that did not work before are opened, venules are cleared (the very vascular networks disappear). A person becomes insensitive to pain for some time. Migraines, neuralgia, colic and muscle spasms pass.

Real miracles happen in the cold with the respiratory system: the lungs include their own thermogenesis: they begin to burn fat directly in the pulmonary alveoli without the use of enzymes! Here she is - a tablet for weight loss, flies right through the window. The mechanism of pulmonary thermogenesis has so far been explained by science indistinctly, but the fact remains.

Hemoglobin level rises in the blood, cellular mitochondria produce more energy, strength and endurance increase. The skin synthesizes more collagen, the facial muscles relax, smoothing deep wrinkles on the forehead and around the mouth, and this does not require botox and gold threads.

How to organize a cold air bath

1. Cool indoor air to 15 degrees.
2. Undress to underwear.
3. Walk for 10-15 minutes, making energetic movements: walking, simple exercises, dance steps or just clean up the room, the main thing is not to stop and move all the time.

Over the next 10 days, lower the temperature by 1-2 degrees and increase the time. Bring the temperature to + 8 ° C, and the time to 30 minutes. Keep this mode until spring arrives and the air overboard warms up above 8 degrees. Then you can add water quenching, and next winter take a chance and take a minus air bath - there is no limit to human adaptation.

Heroes - not you!

The famous painter Ilya Repin in his estate "Penates" near St. Petersburg built a bedroom called "Airplane", in which there were no glass in the lattice window openings. In winter and summer, the artist slept practically on the street, sometimes waking up completely covered with snow. He lived until 86 years old, practically did not get sick, worked until the last day. A more recent example is Maria Dyakova, she is not strong in painting, but nevertheless, all the country's leading television channels noted the stories about this hardened Mordovian pensioner. The former teacher sleeps in a garden under a plum, in snowy or rainy days she hides herself in a greenhouse film, she does not wear outerwear in winter. He assures that she has been cured of cancer, feels young and vigorous and actually looks younger than her 65 years.

Trust but check

To take out a bed in the courtyard, or even, like the British, to abandon central heating (English houses do not heat up above 15 degrees in winter), few will decide, and rightly so! Reasonable skepticism, in everything related to health, is useful. Let them determine that a person is able to produce so much heat in a day that a 30 liter boiler with water will boil, nevertheless, cold for a person along with hunger is the main threat to survival. By the way, it’s easy to freeze your feet at freezing temperatures, and get a heart attack just forgetting to wear mittens in the cold. How? Read about this in the sequel, at the same time you will learn: why the Germans and Japanese are the best experts in hardening; at what age a person is most frost-resistant; why shivering is a sign of youth and why a glass of warm water warms, but a glass of tea is not.

A little later, but approximately in the same years when a lightly dressed learned lady was walking along the snowdrifts in Nizhny Novgorod, we, at that time already five minutes after graduates from the Institute of Rehabilitation, were anxiously awaiting diploma defense, and suddenly found out that there would be no chairman in the selection committee . The dear head of the rehabilitation department, as usual, doused himself with cold water in the morning according to the method of Porfiry Ivanov and suffered a serious heart attack.
