Gravity blood surgery - methods of hemocorrection and treatment of autoimmune diseases using hemocorrection

Plasmapheresis is a medical procedure aimed at high-quality blood purification. During this process, blood is collected, processed, and then returned back into the bloodstream. The technique allows you to separate plasma - the liquid component - and purify it from toxic and harmful compounds.

The method is very useful for diseases, the course of which is aggravated by the presence of poisons and toxic components in the blood. It makes it possible to alleviate the course of the disease and achieve positive dynamics in a short time.

Indications and contraindications for

Blood plasmapheresis is indicated for the treatment of:

• drug addiction, substance abuse;
• thrombocythemia;
• sickle cell anemia;
• leukocytosis;
• congenital myasthenia;
• oncology;
• psoriasis, herpes;
• diabetes mellitus;
• adrenal insufficiency;
• pathologies of the respiratory system;
• various ailments of the cardiovascular system;
• ophthalmological disorders;
• different types of intoxication;
• vasculitis.

Plasmapheresis is also performed for allergies, HIV infection, rheumatoid arthritis, bronchial asthma, Quincke's edema, and neuropathies. With its help, you can stop the spread of inflammatory processes and improve the functioning of the immune system. It is also used during the period of preparation for surgical treatment, if the operation cannot be performed due to unsatisfactory previous blood composition.

The method has some contraindications. Thus, it is not used for bleeding disorders, internal bleeding, severe anemia, arterial hypertension, or during the rehabilitation period after a heart attack or stroke.

The decision about whether a patient can undergo the procedure is always made by a qualified specialist. This is not a technique that you can just go through on your own.

Advantages of performing the procedure at the Yusupov Hospital

Plasmapheresis at the Yusupov Hospital is carried out by experienced specialists who, during the procedure, monitor the appearance of any changes in the patients’ condition and, if necessary, make adjustments. To perform plasmapheresis, the Yusupov Hospital has the latest equipment that ensures the highest quality of its implementation. Patients are housed in comfortable, cozy, clean rooms, the equipment of which corresponds to the latest technology.

The experienced medical staff of the Yusupov Hospital provides round-the-clock professional care to patients. You can get up-to-date information about the nuances of preparing for the plasmapheresis procedure and its cost, and make an appointment with a specialist online or by calling the Yusupov Hospital. The contact center operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, seven days a week.

Classification of cleansing event

The following types of plasmapheresis exist:

• Discrete (aka centrifugal). Involves plasma purification by centrifugation. It makes it possible to reduce the content of antibodies, immune complexes, toxins, hormones, antigens, proteins and even lipids in biological fluid. Its disadvantages include the lack of selectivity and the need to replace removed components with special medical solutions or donor material. Blood is taken from a peripheral vein. Then it is transferred to a centrifuge and separated into plasma and red blood cells. The latter is reintroduced together with the plasma-substituting composition. The plasma is disposed of.
• Membrane. A method of purifying blood outside the patient’s body, which is carried out in an automatic, continuous mode. Not all plasma taken from the patient is removed, but only the toxic components contained in it. The utilized plasma volume is replaced with special medications. During this treatment, not one, but two catheters are inserted. According to the first, blood is taken, and according to the second, it is returned immediately after purification.
• Cascade. This type of plasma filtration is similar to membrane filtration, but involves the use of two filters. With its help, you can qualitatively remove fibrinogen, lipoproteins, triglycerides, viruses, pathological immune complexes, and immunoglobulins.

The doctor decides which type of plasmapheresis is indicated for a particular patient. In this case, the characteristics of the clinical situation and the person’s health status must be taken into account.

Possible complications

Complications may develop if the medical staff performing the procedure does not properly comply with all instructions. Plasmapheresis may be accompanied by the following complications:

1. Formation of blood clots and hemolysis in the device. Thrombosis can be prevented by the use of adequate doses of heparin;
2. Allergic reactions to the materials of the plasmapheresis device. The ultra-modern equipment of the Yusupov Hospital eliminates these phenomena;
3. Phlebitis - a section of the vein that is punctured for blood sampling can become inflamed;
4. Embolism;
5. Bleeding – occurs with an overdose of drugs that reduce clotting rates. The likelihood of bleeding is increased in persons suffering from peptic ulcers of the digestive system;
6. Sepsis, HIV infection (human immunodeficiency virus). At the Yusupov Hospital, plasmapheresis is performed only with sterile disposable needles and instruments, due to which the likelihood of infection is reduced to zero; the clinic has a license to provide transfusiology.

Nowadays, plasmapheresis is the most effective auxiliary method used to treat most diseases. Contrary to popular belief, this procedure does not have a general strengthening and rejuvenating effect. The majority of patients who have undergone plasmapheresis at the Yusupov Hospital leave positive reviews about this procedure. Their well-being improves, their performance increases, and they feel a surge of strength.

The benefits of plasmapheresis are as follows:

• strengthening the body's defenses;
• reducing the level of “bad” cholesterol in the blood;
• acceleration of metabolic processes;
• improving cell oxygen saturation.

Before undergoing plasmapheresis at the Oncology Clinic of the Yusupov Hospital, patients are prescribed a comprehensive examination to identify diseases for which this procedure is contraindicated. Thanks to the ultra-modern equipment of the clinic, the research results obtained are of maximum accuracy. After plasmapheresis sessions performed at the Yusupov Hospital, complications do not develop.

How is blood purification done?

The essence of blood purification is its separation using special medical equipment. The procedure itself is quite simple and, importantly, painless (the patient experiences discomfort only at the stage of installing catheters). It takes about two hours.

Therapy is carried out in the treatment room. The person sits comfortably on the couch. One or two catheters are inserted into him. The resulting blood is placed in a filter device and returned after processing.

Throughout the entire session, the doctor stays next to the patient and monitors changes in his well-being - measures blood pressure, evaluates heart function.

Preparing the body

Blood is a liquid that absorbs all the waste products of our body. Now mentally conduct an experiment. There are two riverbeds: one covered with clean pebbles, and the second with garbage. Both flow with water from the same source. Which channel will deliver clean water to the sea, and which will deliver polluted water? It's not hard to guess.

Therefore, even before cleaning the “liquid” in our body (and this is the literal translation of the ancient Indo-European prototypes of the word “blood” in many languages), we should clean the “banks and bed” - that is, the body, namely the stomach and intestines, after all, most of the “impurity” comes through food .

Even people leading a healthy lifestyle, before one-day fasting, should limit themselves to light food in the second half of the previous day, and also not overload the stomach immediately the next day. As experienced healthy lifestyle instructors say: “you need to enter a hunger strike gently and exit it gently.”

As for those who are accustomed to not limiting themselves to anything in everyday life, they need to refrain for several days from :

1. nicotine (and any other drugs);
2. alcohol;
3. fatty, spicy, salty, fried;
4. sparkling water, any energy drinks;
5. sweets, flour, fast food and overeating in general.

It is known that the toxins of nicotine and alcohol enter directly into the blood and remain there for many hours (after a single drink of alcohol) and even days (with constant smoking). Toxins from food also remain in the body for a long time (it is intoxication that causes frequent headaches, malaise without illness, “withdrawal”).

If you do not abstain for several days and abruptly switch the body to cleansing, the concentration of highly toxic poisons in the blood will be very high, and in the absence of the usual nutrients, this will lead to unbearable headaches, dizziness, and surges in blood pressure. Everything can very easily end in hospitalization.

Benefits of plasmapheresis

Plasmapheresis is an adjuvant therapy method. It has a beneficial effect on the human body. As a result of its implementation:

• A powerful detoxification effect is achieved. The blood is cleansed of poisons and toxins, and its composition is significantly improved. This has a positive effect on a person’s health and speeds up recovery from almost any disease.
• Stable functioning of vital organs is established. The technique has a particularly beneficial effect on the activity of the heart and the condition of blood vessels.
• Provides stimulation of the immune system. As blood passes through the filter system, blood cells come into contact with the filters. This forces the immune system to be on alert in case of repeated contact with unfamiliar elements.

Alcohol - fight!

“I suffer from alcoholism. I'm going to code, but I want to clean the blood first. Is it worth doing? Oleg, Kimry

- Costs. But keep in mind: during plasmapheresis, along with alcohol toxins, enzymes that break down alcohol are also washed out of the blood, which increases sensitivity to alcohol. Therefore, drinking alcohol (even in small doses) after this procedure is absolutely contraindicated and even dangerous. So, after undergoing plasmapheresis, it is better for you to immediately be coded for alcohol dependence.

The use of plasmapheresis in the treatment of drug addiction and alcoholism

When helping people with drug or alcohol addiction, blood testing is very often performed. It is especially relevant for binge drinking, overdose, abstinence, and ethanol intoxication.

Plasmapheresis helps to quickly improve the well-being of addicts and reduce their cravings for illegal substances. It is for this reason that it is often included in the therapeutic regimen when providing drug treatment to this category of patients.

With the help of the technique, metabolic processes are brought into order, the likelihood of complications dangerous to health and life is reduced, and the psycho-emotional state improves.

How to treat a sick person at home

There are several ways you can help a patient yourself:

1. sorbent (activated carbon at the rate of 1 tablet per 10 kg of weight);
2. taking liquids (juice, tea with lemon, herbal or oatmeal infusion, water containing useful minerals);
3. taking medications (diuretic, aspirin, glycine, valerian, vitamin C, succinic acid, Essentiale).

Before cleaning the blood, provide the patient with plenty of fluids, liquid and light food, and the medications listed. Monitor the patient's condition until the ambulance arrives. Watch your diet, give a glass of warm water before each meal. Eliminate fatty, salty, spicy foods from your diet, and do not drink coffee. You can add a spoon of honey, a slice of lemon or grated ginger root to the tea. The liquid you drink should be at room temperature.

Cleaning blood from alcohol at home is responsible for:

1. restoration of blood circulation;
2. delivery of oxygen to cells;
3. improvement of filtration, liver adsorption;
4. normalization of the urinary system;
5. removal of toxic substances;
6. enrichment of tissues with nutritional elements;
7. preventing dehydration.

Preventive measures against the consequences of withdrawal are needed to quickly improve your well-being. Elimination of symptoms of mild hangover lasts a day, withdrawal symptoms last at least several days. They relieve nausea, headaches, relieve nervous tension, but in emergency cases they remain powerless. If the clinical picture is severe, consult a narcologist. When the condition worsens, you should immediately call the drug treatment hotline.

Medication methods

Blood purification drugs are divided into several groups:

• statins are medications that cleanse the blood and lymph, lower cholesterol levels, and have virtually no side effects. This group includes simvastatin, lovastatin, pravastatin and others;
• sequestrants - lipid-lowering tablets that bind liver and bile fatty acids, lower cholesterol, prevent the development of coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis (for example, cholisteramine);
• fibrates reduce the secretion of fats and the formation of cholesterol. Long-term use is fraught with the formation of stones in the liver and gall bladder. This can include bezamidine, lipanor, gevilon, atromidine and others;
• B vitamins and ascorbic acid.

Home techniques

It is very important to remember that any cleansing process is a serious shock to the body. Therefore, it is better to carry out the procedure in consultation with the doctor, setting a date and agreeing on the necessary provisions.

It is recommended to cleanse the blood in the spring, but before doing so, take care to remove toxins from the liver. If harmful substances remain in this organ, the effect after complete cleansing will be insignificant and short-lived.

It should be remembered that traditional methods will not work immediately, unlike hardware plasmapheresis.

To properly purify blood at home, you must follow the recommendations for preparation, collection of raw materials, dosage of drugs, know the exact recipe, and follow each step when preparing the product.

For maximum effect, potions must be used for a long time. A good blood purifier for burdock, string, nettle, dandelion, yarrow, pine needles.

If I become a donor, let them teach me!

Plasmapheresis is not only a therapeutic procedure, but also a donor procedure. Perhaps what I say will be a discovery for the reader, but the main consumable material of the blood service is not red blood cells, but fresh frozen plasma. In general, the ratio of erythromass and plasma consumption in any clinic ranges from 1/10 to 1/50. And primarily because for a seriously ill patient, blood cells - oxygen transport - are not as important as coagulation factors and proteins. Therefore, plasma procurement is the most important task of blood transfusion stations and departments. However, compared to plasma, which can be stored in a frozen state for a year without harm, blood cells can withstand a maximum of a month. And even then, by the end of the term, they are of little use; it is a stretch to call them cells. Rather, these are already corpses of red blood cells. Sometimes you hear the question: Isn’t this harmful? - What? - Well, donate blood, do plasmapheresis? Everything is harmful if you don’t have a sense of proportion, and when you pick your nose, you’re bound to someday bury your finger in the vault of your skull. There are rules for donation: blood is donated no more than once every 2 months, plasma no more than once every 2 weeks, and platelets no more than once a week. All these components are very necessary. And, considering that red blood cells are stored for up to 35 days, and platelets for 3-5 days in a special shaker, you can imagine how important donation is.

What needs to be eaten in order for blood viscosity to be normal?

• Vitamins. It is very important that the body has enough vitamins A, C, E, B. It is these elements that allow you to normalize blood flow, the amount of lipids, and glucose in the blood. But there is another side to the coin. Excessive intake of vitamin C may cause an increase in blood viscosity. This is due to the fact that ascorbic acid reduces potassium in the blood, which leads to disruption of water-salt metabolism. There is an increase in urination, less fluid, and the blood becomes more viscous.
• Water-salt balance. It is also important that the body has enough minerals and salts. Last but not least is water balance.
• Amino acids. To normalize metabolism, it is necessary to consume amino acids. Taurine plays an important role in this process.
• Phytoncides. They have a great effect on the functioning of the intestines and maintain the correct balance in it.
• Cellulose. A huge amount of fiber is found in vegetables and fruits. It is important that they are fresh and not subject to heat treatment. It is fiber that promotes water retention in the body.

To lower blood viscosity , it is not always necessary to take medications. You can reduce it by changing your diet. Next, we will take a closer look at the list of products that can solve this problem without the use of medications.

To structure the article, we divided all these products into five main groups.

Fruits and vegetables

According to experts, it is fruits and vegetables that can optimize the functioning of the heart and blood vessels. The problem that people with high blood viscosity face is low vascular tone. The following list of products will help you cope with this:

1. Lemons. Of course, along with lemons, other citrus fruits will have the same effect, because they also contain a lot of ascorbic acid and vitamin K. They normalize fat metabolism in the body and do not allow harmful fats to accumulate. And they, in turn, through the development of vascular atherosclerosis, can lead to the development of thrombosis. You should not drink pure lemon juice. After all, it has a rather aggressive effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa. Before use, you should dilute it in water. You can consume no more than 100 grams of lemon juice per day in diluted form.
2. Pomegranate. Everyone knows that if heart pathology develops, you need to drink pomegranate juice. It also contains a lot of ascorbic acid, but that's not all. It contains vitamin P and B6 and a number of amino acids. They are able to optimize heart function, give normal tone to blood vessels and help lower blood pressure. Women over 50 should pay attention to this product. The pulp and zest contain a considerable amount of vitamin K. The variety of pomegranate dishes is amazing. Therefore, anyone will find a convenient form to receive this useful product.
3. Ginger. It contains one of the largest amounts of vitamin B, which is important for the body. It is able to remain in the composition of ginger, despite drying, cooking and other thermal processes. It is also rich in selenium, zinc, copper, manganese and iron. It is these elements that help normalize the level of hemoglobin and red blood cells. Experts recommend drinking ginger tea in order to remove toxins and toxic substances from the body.
4. Garlic. Rich in phytoncides, which are very important for blood vessels and the heart. But it also contains many different vitamins and selenium. These substances help reduce blood viscosity. Garlic plays an important role in liver detoxification.
5. Beet. Due to its fibrous and high fiber content, it is able to retain water in the body. Don’t worry about these beneficial properties disappearing after cooking. In no case, on the contrary, fiber only activates its properties under the influence of temperature. In addition, beets have a pleasant sweet taste, so they are often used in salads, side dishes and even desserts.

what to eat to reduce blood viscosity

Berries

The berries contain a lot of amino acids and vitamin C. Their consumption leads to optimization of the breakdown of lipids by the liver. There are four main berries that can improve the functioning of blood vessels and the heart. These include:

1. Kalina. It has many essential oils that promote normal functioning of the heart and immune system. But in this case, you should not resort to drying the berries. After all, only fresh viburnum contains these nutrients.
2. Cranberry. Very rich in vitamins B, K and PP. They optimize the functioning of the human endocrine system. And if you consider that it is closely related to the immune system, it has a double effect on the body. These two most important systems in the human body will allow you to regulate metabolism and thereby avoid the development of metabolic processes in the body.
3. Black currant. An invaluable bush in the countryside, because everything in it is useful: from berries to leaves. It contains a colossal amount of ascorbic acid, which is actively involved in lipid metabolism. To completely saturate your body with vitamin C, you need to eat only 30 berries a day. But that's not all. Thanks to the large number of useful microelements in the composition, namely copper and lead, muscles are strengthened. This leads to improved vascular tone.
4. Mulberry. Perhaps it is the most useful of all the berries presented that can thin the blood. This is especially true for black mulberry, which contains a lot of phytoncides and essential oil.

berries that reduce blood viscosity

Drink

There are many studies that have shown the benefits of various herbs, teas and infusions to combat excessive blood viscosity, and in itself, drinking plenty of fluids and proper water balance can help a person with such a problem. The healthiest drinks include:

1. Green tea. It is famous for its high amount of antioxidants. This is necessary to oxidize cells and reduce the risk of thrombosis and lysis of red blood cells. And the mood after green tea will be much better, because it contains substances that stimulate the production of the hormone of happiness.
2. Cocoa. To the delight of lovers of chocolate and other cocoa products, it is recognized that daily consumption of 30 grams of cocoa will have a beneficial effect on the condition of the heart and blood vessels. This happens because cocoa actively helps absorb carbohydrates and lipids.
3. Fresh and natural juice. To make it as healthy as possible, you need to leave a lot of pulp in the juice. After all, it contains a lot of fiber, vitamin B and C. As for the choice of juice, it is best to take apple, apricot, pomegranate juice. It is worth considering the fact that the content of nutrients in canned juice is much less than in fresh juice.

fresh juices with pulp to reduce blood viscosity
In addition to the above products, there are others that also have a beneficial effect on reducing blood viscosity. Their mechanism of action is that they reduce blood alkalinity, which leads to the prevention of thrombosis. These include:

1. Seeds and nuts. They contain a large amount of essential oils and resins. These substances activate the normal metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. But not all nuts are healthy, especially when it comes to peanuts. After all, it contains a lot of complex fats and proteins. But pistachios and walnuts are 100% healthy. They are high in omega fats. As for seeds, it is useful to eat poppy seeds, dill, sunflowers and peppers.
2. Dried fruits. It would seem that fresh berries and fruits are considered to be the healthiest. But it is worth considering the fact that when properly dried, the berries retain a lot of fructose and fiber. Despite these beneficial properties, you should not eat too much of them. This is because excessive consumption of dried fruits can lead to the development of hypervitaminosis C and increased blood sugar levels. The maximum daily dose of dried fruits should be two tablespoons.
3. Porridge. But not all of it. It is mainly worth consuming cereals based on cereals, namely buckwheat, oats and wheat. But you should not overuse rice, because it contains a lot of starch. Of course, taking into account the above information, porridge with dried fruits will be a real combo in terms of usefulness. This combination normalizes the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and fills the body with the necessary vitamins and microelements.
4. Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. These acids are abundant in fatty fish, oils and nuts. This is a great way to improve the performance of brain cells by improving the condition of cell membranes. This avoids the development of erythrocyte lysis and thrombosis. A cost-effective option for obtaining omega acids is to consume fish oil.
5. Linseed oil. This is a great choice for vegans who don't eat fish. It is worth considering the fact that it should be consumed exclusively in its raw form. When frying, all the beneficial substances disappear.
6. Honey. It is very important to eat at least a small amount of bee products. After all, they contain many useful trace elements, metals and salts. Regarding carbohydrates, in honey they are represented by a small amount of fructose. Propolis contains a lot of phytoncides and oils, which have a positive effect on the immune system. Therefore, it is not in vain that everyone always drinks tea with honey when suffering from respiratory diseases.
7. Spices, including turmeric. Turmeric contains an antioxidant that allows the blood to be better saturated with oxygen and maintains the heart in normal tone. The same effect is found in saffron, basil, thyme, etc.
8. Apple cider vinegar. It has a huge range of organic-based acids. They can lead to optimization of the gastrointestinal tract and break down lipids. Grape vinegar affects the body in the same way, but you should be careful with it, because it contains more alkali, and this can be very harmful to a person with gastrointestinal pathology.
9. Soda. Can increase the alkalinity of blood plasma. This helps thin the blood and prevent the formation of blood clots. Despite such a good effect of soda on the body and blood condition, you should not abuse it. This is because it contains a lot of sodium, which has a toxic effect on the nervous system.
10. Ginkgo biloba. This is a universal activator of the cardiovascular system. It is able to normalize blood pressure. But you don’t need to drink a lot of ginkgo biloba, because it can cause energy deficiency. You should consume no more than 15 grams.
11. Artichoke. Able to normalize the balance of water and electrolytes. In addition, it contains a huge amount of vitamin K, which is simply necessary for normal heart function. It is worth noting another advantage of the artichoke, because all the beneficial substances in it can be preserved even during heat treatment and preservation.
12. Kalanchoe. It contains a lot of resinous essential oils, which give it a viscosity and sticky consistency. This plant is often used in folk medicine to treat heart pathologies, optimize vascular tone and reduce the amount of toxins in the body.

nuts for blood thinning
You need to be very careful when consuming Kalanchoe and aloe, because they are strong allergens. A test should be carried out before any use of these substances. That is, apply a small amount of the plant and monitor the absence of pathological reactions.
