What do you think of traditional medicine? Don't you trust? Do you think that a number of pseudo-healers seriously discredit traditional medicine methods? I bet with you. Do not rush to close this page, I hasten to assure you that by postponing the article proposed while waiting for your knowledge in traditional medicine to be more than sufficient, you risk refusing knowledge which at certain times can prove to be irreplaceable. And in particular, this applies to a product such as vodka. Most people experienced in the use of this drink should have decided to master all use cases to perfection. Yes, vodka has been known in USA for a long time since the first hundred years, and during this time extensive experience has been gained in the use of this drink. Nevertheless, I want to rediscover vodka for you. As medicine. And Boris Pokrovsky's wonderful book "Garlic and Vodka in Traditional Medicine", published in 2005, which is sold by a few dozen online bookstores, will help me in this regard.

The book gives recipes for getting rid of many diseases, including infectious diseases. For example, treat the flu.

So far, nothing new at first glance, this recipe is used by some surgeons without the first symptoms of the flu. Well, well, anyone can cope with the flu, let's treat a more serious pathology - pneumonia.

Here. Please note that the tool is effective whatever the pathogen and does not require hospitalization of the patient. The dosage is questionable, the flu is treated with half a glass, and only drops have been allocated for pneumonia. It’s interesting, but what if the recovery doesn’t take place on the promised fifth day?

Let's move from the respiratory sphere to skin diseases. Are you probably expecting recipes for lotion, solution for external use? No. Only vodka and only inside!

Yes, if the dermatitis with such treatment does not go away on its own in 3 months, then it is probably a serious disease... In the section for the treatment of skin pathology, there is an interesting link, obviously for gourmets in the medical field:

Do you think that vodka with its irritant effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa can treat gastritis, cholecystitis, colitis, peptic ulcer? The book gives the following recipes:

Interestingly, the author sometimes indicates vodka in grams, and sometimes in liters. The gastritis will be cured by taking half a liter of vodka without additives (a wonderful addition!), And a free diet of 30 drops for half a glass (the author's preferred measure of volume) should be continued for two months. Gastritis, of course, will go away by drinking 250 g of vodka from 40 g of plantain and after half a glass of vodka with half a calendula tablet. All recipes for the treatment of peptic ulcer, regardless of form and stage, start with at least half a liter of vodka with slight variations in the form of chokeberry, althea or roots. cabbage. It is estimated that in general this subject is very close to the author. Particular attention was drawn to such a recipe:

Indeed, go try to find these acacias, any bark, and a decent person always has potatoes on hand.

By trying to analyze these lines, I mean that the author of the book is a great connoisseur of the clinic of various diseases. And by secondary symptoms, it probably means a trembling of the fingers, swelling under the eyes, an enlarged liver and an irresistible desire for vodka. In general, it is not clear why all these impurities in its recipes? All that mountain ash, grass - why? After all, the essence is still the same. Whatever pathology the patient suffers from, vodka will be recommended. With this in mind, the title of the book "Garlic and vodka in traditional medicine" is unclear. Why dishonor the good name of garlic - the vampire savior and a warehouse of rare earth selenium? You can simply write "Vodka for all diseases" or "How to become an alcoholic: ambulatory and hospital solutions to the problem". The circulation of the book is 30,000 copies and something suggests that it is not the last edition. According to official figures, in USA, in the past year, 41,000 adult workers have died from alcohol intoxication; in comparison, ten thousand fewer people died in road crashes.

By the way, we completely forgot about the children, what does Boris Pokrovsky recommend to them? Or is it common for them to stay in the hospital and receive infusions, while their parents can have fun at home in a few days? Quote: "All of these recipes are designed for an adult. For this reason, children 1 year to 3 years of age should reduce the dose of tinctures 3 to 5 times; 3 to 7 years, 2 to 3 times; and finally , children from 7 to 14 years old, the dose indicated in the recipes should be reduced by 1.5 to 2 times. "

I am glad that the book does not contain recipes for children under 1 year old and pregnant women. The author may have simply forgotten them.
