AUTOHEMOTHERAPY CONTRAINDICATIONS AND SIDE EFFECTS

Features of the autohemotherapy procedure, indications, contraindications and all the nuances of manipulation - all this interests people who have learned about such therapy.

In most cases, autohemotherapy is indicated for patients undergoing complex treatment of pathologies associated with immunodeficiencies.

These are chronic infections, ulcers of the gastrointestinal tract, dermatological diseases, as well as ailments that arise due to age-related changes in the body.

The technique first began to be used at the beginning of the twentieth century. Experts noted the same type of clinical results, in particular the stimulation of protective properties, accelerated recovery after operations and injuries, and increased mental and physical performance.

Today the procedure has become widespread in medicine and cosmetology.

The essence of the method

Autohemotherapy is a therapeutic technique that involves injecting the patient with his own blood. In most cases it is performed intramuscularly.

In essence, this is a transfusion that enhances hematopoiesis and increases the body's resistance to all kinds of diseases.

Scientists believe that human blood circulating through vessels is able to “remember” the processes occurring in the body. After the secondary entry into the body, the cells independently identify sources of inflammation and pathogenic microorganisms, destroying them.

Based on existing reviews from doctors, indications and contraindications, we can conclude that autohemotherapy is aimed at:

• increasing the body's immune defense;
• activation of hematopoietic processes and the hemostatic system.

After using the technique, there are usually no chills, joint damage, increased body temperature and other negative manifestations. The use of autohemotherapy is relevant not only for inpatient settings, but also for outpatient settings.

History of the origin and development of the procedure

The history of autohemotherapy goes back a long way. The application of the method begins at the same time when medicine arose. Scientists have always strived to study blood. There is evidence from the Bible that it was used as a medicine. There are also records on Egyptian papyrus that indicate that the pharaohs took baths with blood. It was also used as medicine.

There are also historical records that in the Vatican, Pope Innocent 8 drank the blood of babies for health.

It is known that in the Middle Ages, animal blood was transfused in order to rejuvenate the body. The healing properties of this method have not been established. But it was believed that such a procedure gives a person supernatural abilities. But these experiments led to deaths. Therefore, bans on such procedures appeared in several European countries. Despite this, humanity has not abandoned the idea of ​​the healing properties of blood.

At the beginning of the 19th century, Bündel performed the world's first blood transfusion from person to person. This is how the scientist saved a woman after giving birth. Before performing this transfusion, he conducted many experiments with animals. He also described symptoms when the transfusion should be stopped.

Further, many scientists began to study this method. Initially, this procedure was performed on women who had lost a lot of it during childbirth. Then they began to use blood transfusions on the battlefields. The German scientist Beer made a great contribution to the development of autohemotherapy. He created artificial hematomas using blood to treat fractures.

During the Russo-Japanese War at the beginning of the 20th century, Russian surgeon Valentin Feliksovich Voino-Yasenetsky used autohemotherapy. The purpose of application is the treatment of soldiers. In his work “Essays on Purulent Surgery,” he described methods of therapy. He used autohemotherapy as an adjuvant in the treatment of various indolent human diseases. This method was widely used before the advent of antibiotics.

All scientists who studied autohemotherapy noted an increase in the body’s performance, tone, the appearance of vitality and, most importantly, the human immune system was strengthened.

Autohemotherapy: indications for use

Subcutaneous or intramuscular injection of fresh venous blood has a beneficial effect on the entire body, strengthens protective functions, and suppresses inflammatory processes.

Among the indications for the use of autohemotherapy are the following conditions.

INDICATIONS

• dermatological pathologies: acne, blackheads, furunculosis, eczema, pustules, neoplasms;
• Chronical bronchitis;
• prolonged pneumonia;
• frequently recurring colds;
• gastrointestinal disorders;
• various immunodeficiency conditions;
• infectious, inflammatory lesions of the urinary system;
• poorly healing trophic ulcers;
• joint damage of an infectious nature;
• internal and nosebleeds;
• severe menopause;
• infertility.

In the presence of any pathologies, the technique cannot replace other methods of treatment: taking medications, surgery. Autohemotherapy is indicated for use as part of complex therapy.

Dermatologist Samir Bashey

The procedure is also used for provocative and diagnostic purposes. Thus, it is relevant when there is a suspicion of hidden infections.

The latest research has proven that autohemotherapy helps alleviate the symptoms of bronchial asthma with an allergic nature.

In the field of cosmetology, the technique is successfully used not only to combat various dermatological ailments, but also to slow down the aging process of the skin.

Autohemotherapy treatment options

Autohemotherapy is not only classical, but also with additional improvements, paying tribute to nanotechnology, autohemotherapy is now carried out with ozonation (additional enrichment of blood with ozone).

Another option involves injecting autologous blood into acupuncture points. It happens that the taken venous blood is additionally irradiated with ultraviolet light, exposed to X-rays, lasers, subjected to osmotic shock, and freezing.

Or another option - homeopathically diluted medications (calcium gluconate, calcium chloride, aloe), even antibiotics, are added to the blood.

Contraindications (8 prohibitions)

Before using autohemotherapy, it is necessary to become familiar with the indications and contraindications.

It is important to identify and comply with the latter, otherwise serious negative consequences may occur. There are a number of restrictions on the procedure.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

1. malignant neoplasms;
2. active tuberculosis;
3. hepatitis and other liver damage;
4. pathologies of the cardiovascular system, kidneys;
5. severe mental disorders;
6. heart attack in the acute stage;
7. period of pregnancy and breastfeeding;
8. age under 18 years.

When performing autohemotherapy, it is not recommended to administer large volumes of blood. This threatens the occurrence of side effects: chills, muscle soreness, fever. Such complications are included in the list of contraindications to the use of the technique.

Major ozone autohemotherapy

In addition to minor autohemotherapy with ozone, there is major ozone autohemotherapy. Indications for this procedure are determined individually. There are several ways to carry out the procedure. Namely, this composition can be administered intravenously, intramuscularly, intraarticularly and subcutaneously. The essence of major autohemotherapy is that blood is taken from a patient’s vein and mixed in a special container with a solution containing ozone. The peculiarity of this method is that the dose of the latter is calculated individually for each patient.

This method allows for a more effective effect on certain tissues of the body.

Features of the procedure

At the first session, about 1 ml of blood is injected subcutaneously into the patient. Over time, its volume increases until it reaches 10 ml. After this, the amount gradually decreases.

Injections that are made under the skin can cause the development of inflammatory processes and other negative consequences. It is important to remember this when giving consent to use the technique.

Dermatologist Sanusi Umar

For intramuscular administration, 2 ml of venous blood is used. Injections are placed in the upper outer square of the buttocks.

A repeat session is carried out after 1 or 2 days with an increase in blood to 4 ml, next time - to 6 ml and so on.

Based on indications, autohemotherapy is used according to the following scheme:

The procedure is always performed in compliance with sterility standards. First, blood is taken from a vein, then injected under the skin or into a muscle.

Other schemes

There are other options for blood transfusions for therapeutic purposes.

After the classical method, the second most popular technique is the staircase technique. It involves diluting the blood taken from the patient with various medications. They are selected taking into account the disease and the purpose of the procedure. For example, there is autohemotherapy with an antibiotic. When treating gastrointestinal pathologies, anti-inflammatory drugs are added to the patient's blood. To eliminate purulent ailments, adsorbent agents are used.

It is possible to carry out the procedure using ozone, which improves the therapeutic effect. Its help is usually used to treat gynecological problems and skin rashes. Some clinics practice the addition of aloe. The juice of this plant activates the body's immune system.

Separately, it is necessary to consider autohemotherapy and acupuncture. In this case, the patient’s blood is reinjected not into the muscles or under the skin, but into special reflex zones. For example, when treating respiratory diseases, points on the palms are chosen. To eliminate the symptoms of epilepsy, the plantar zone is used.

Types of autohemotherapy (5 options)

Like any other therapeutic method, autohemotherapy is constantly being improved. In modern medicine, the following procedure techniques are used:

1. Hemopuncture. Blood is drawn from a patient's vein and then injected in small doses into painful areas throughout the body. The technique involves the use of biomaterial in its pure form or with the addition of homeopathic medicines.
2. Stepped. It is the introduction of blood enriched with drugs. Previously, antibacterial drugs were used for this, but later experts abandoned this method.
3. Use of autologous blood. Before administering the patient's blood, various manipulations are performed with it. This can be ozonation, X-ray or ultraviolet treatment, freezing. This procedure can only be performed in specialized institutions where there is suitable equipment. The doctor must have sufficient experience in this field.
4. Combination with ozone therapy. Autohemotherapy in this case is carried out in compliance with indications and contraindications according to the traditional scheme. The only difference is that the blood is enriched with ozone. There are minor and major ozone autohemotherapy. The latter option involves taking 150 ml of blood, adding ozone and injecting it back into a vein. Experts say that the procedure is aimed at eliminating signs of chronic fatigue.
5. Combination with hirudotherapy. Leeches are placed on problem areas of the patient’s body, then their own blood taken from a vein is injected there.

Treatment regimens

To enhance the effect, manipulation is carried out simultaneously with the introduction of drugs, homeopathic remedies, and ozone. The latter technique is performed in 2 variants - minor and major autohemotherapy. In the first case, venous blood is mixed with an equal part of the oxygen + ozone solution.

In the second case, venous blood first enters a container of 50-150 ml. Then a gas oxygen-ozone mixture is supplied in an amount of 50−300 ml. The composition is administered by infusion into a vein. Effects of therapy:

• immunomodulatory;
• antioxidant;
• improvement of tissue nutrition;
• removal of toxins from the body.

How often you can use the technique of introducing venous blood is decided by the doctor in each case individually. The patient is allowed to take 3 courses per year. The breaks between the two should be more than 3 months. This is explained by the fact that frequent stimulation of the immune system provokes the development of autoimmune pathologies. Due to the prolonged mechanism of exposure to its own venous blood, the body begins to produce antibodies.

Stages of the procedure

There are several schemes for autohemotherapy. The main method is classical. The principle of its implementation is as follows: the patient is injected with venous blood in its pure form intramuscularly or subcutaneously. It can be injected into the upper square of the buttock. You need to act quickly so that it doesn't curl up.

If you perform the manipulation according to the standard scheme, you will need to inject 2 ml of blood. Every day the volume is increased by 2 ml until the maximum dosage is reached (10 ml). The course consists of 10-15 injections. Other methods of performing autohemotherapy:

1. Stepped. The blood is diluted with a homeopathic medicine. The composition is administered intramuscularly once.
2. Autohemotherapy + ozone. The benefit of this method is to enhance the healing properties. The scheme is used in gynecology.
3. Biopuncture. Venous blood is injected into specific acupuncture points. The effect of therapy increases, its duration decreases.
4. Autoblood. Before administration, the blood is treated with ultraviolet light and laser. The serum can be frozen.
5. Autohemotransfusion. A few days before surgery, the patient's own blood is infused.

After manipulation performed using any method, a heating pad is applied to the injection site and an iodine mesh is applied. This is necessary to relieve discomfort and speed up resorption. If treatment is carried out at home, it is recommended to follow several rules:

1. Injections are administered only by a doctor.
2. Application of the classical method of therapy.
3. Compliance with the dose.
4. Sterility.

Use of medications

For skin problems, autohemotherapy is carried out using antibiotics. The main indication for manipulation is the presence of an infection that has caused furunculosis. Before therapy, a full examination is prescribed. Based on the results obtained, the doctor selects the optimal dose. Other drugs that are combined with autohemotherapy:

• Calcium gluconate. Improves the condition of the skin and bones. The drug in large doses harms the functioning of internal organs.
• Aloe. Blood quality improves, the body recovers, tissue regeneration accelerates.
• Penicillin. Promotes rapid recovery of a patient who suffers from infection or inflammation.

Autohemotherapy is used in various fields of medicine. For example, gynecologists prescribe it for disorders of the reproductive system, chronic diseases, inflammation of the female organs, and during menopause. Autohemotherapy is effective against infertility. Dermatology is another area of ​​application of this technique. A positive result is achieved by increasing the body's defenses. This type of acne treatment is common in cosmetology.

It is based on the figure eight principle: blood is taken from the arm. It is then inserted into the opposite buttock. To prevent pain, all actions are performed slowly. In this case, the patient should relax. Blood transfusions for children are indicated when other methods are ineffective and the disease progresses. To treat acne, the child must be over 14 years old. In this case, the following scheme is observed: the initial volume is 1 ml.

The intake is gradually increased to 5 ml. Then the dose is reduced to 1 ml. Treatment lasts 15 days. There is a break of 2-3 days between injections. Children are prescribed only a standard regimen of autohemotherapy, since in pediatrics there is a high risk of side effects.

Question answer

Due to the peculiarities of the technique, it is not recommended to carry it out at home; it is better to do autohemotherapy in specialized institutions.

To understand that the method really works, you need to donate blood for analysis before and after using autohemotherapy. Typically, a course of treatment increases the number of leukocytes, which indicates an improvement in immune defense and a beneficial effect on the human body.

Negative manifestations are observed quite rarely. If any side effects are detected, honey compresses and iodine mesh must be applied to the injection site. If you experience a deterioration in your health or a significant increase in body temperature, you should immediately consult a doctor.

Contraindications for autohemotherapy

• Active form of tuberculosis;
• oncology;
• pregnancy and lactation;
• cardiovascular and renal failure (stages 2, 3);
• acute psychoses;
• epilepsy;
• acute heart attacks, strokes.

Temporary contraindications include menstruation in women, acute infectious diseases with fever, and alcohol intoxication.

There are also comrades who are pathologically afraid of all manipulations with blood, almost to the point of fainting; they should not experiment, but rather prefer other methods of boosting immunity.

Autohemotherapy - side effects

• When large doses of blood (more than 10 ml) are administered, fever, muscle pain, and inflammation at the injection sites may occur.

• The blood at the injection site is not absorbed so quickly, so pain remains there for some time, and sometimes “bumps” and hematomas form.

• With increased blood clotting , it is possible that the blood will clot in the syringe before all the manipulations have time to be carried out. It would seem that everything happens quickly, it literally takes 2-3 minutes, but I personally saw such a development of events. I had to draw blood from a vein and advise the patient to drink more during the course and consume drinks and foods that thin the blood.

• In 5-7% of cases, autohemotherapy does not help, or even a deterioration in well-being is observed.

As an example, a friend started autohemotherapy at the time of a cold, she no longer had a fever, it was day 4 of the disease. It would seem that all the acute phenomena had already subsided, but the start of the course provoked, instead of strengthening the immune system and the quick “victorious” completion of ARVI, a second wave of the disease. And this despite the fact that in a normal state, without exacerbations and acute diseases, the same young lady had good susceptibility to this method of treatment with her blood.

How often can autohemotherapy be done?

Optimally 2 times a year. But, sometimes, as prescribed by a doctor, treatment is indicated every 3 months.

When autohemotherapy will not help

• In case of renal and liver failure, this procedure in no case replaces hemodialysis or hemosorption.
• When they expect a miracle - unprecedented rejuvenation, complete healing in 1 course, etc.

Autohemotherapy in gynecology

The procedure can only be used in a hospital setting in compliance with sterility standards. It can be carried out by a midwife or a qualified nurse.

The main indications for the use of autohemotherapy in gynecology include the following problems.

• inflammatory pathologies: metritis, salpingitis and others;
• formation of adhesions in the internal genital organs;
• severe menopause;
• infectious lesions of the genital tract: herpes, HPV;
• inflammatory processes with purulent discharge;
• infertility.

The use of the technique for the treatment of gynecological diseases is contraindicated in the presence of inflammatory kidney lesions.

If pure blood is used, 5 ml is drawn from a vein and injected into the gluteal muscle, in accordance with intramuscular injections.

At each subsequent session the amount increases by 1 ml. When the volume reaches 10 ml, there is a gradual decrease daily until the amount returns to 5 ml.

The course of use consists of 10 procedures, which are performed every day or every other day.

Obstetrician-gynecologist Marco Pelosi

In gynecology, hemolyzed blood is also used, that is, autologous blood mixed with sterile double-distilled water and subjected to various manipulations.

After autohemotherapy there are practically no complications observed. An increase in temperature and discomfort at the injection sites are possible, however, they are not contraindications to the use of the method.

To get rid of negative manifestations, the doctor changes the dose of the injected material or the method of influencing it.

Autohemotherapy price

The cost of the procedure varies depending on where exactly it will be performed. Thus, in modern Moscow medical centers the price can reach 28 thousand rubles for a course of autohemotherapy consisting of 10 procedures. Far from the capital of Russia, in “simpler” institutions, the cost of a course of treatment can reach 6-7 thousand rubles. A single injection of your own blood costs from 400 to 1000 rubles per injection.

Autohemotherapy in cosmetology

As mentioned above, this procedure is relevant for dermatological diseases. This includes acne, pimples, eczema.

Do not confuse autohemotherapy and plasma lifting. These procedures are different.

Autohemotherapy helps speed up wound healing and eliminate acne. Experience shows that about 80% of patients who have undergone manipulation experience positive changes.

But the effect of the procedure will quickly disappear if a person forgets about home care.

There is also an opinion that with the help of such a procedure it is possible to rejuvenate the face, but there is no exact data, since research is only underway.

This procedure leads to increased immunity. As a result, the body fights infections better. That is why autohemotherapy will help get rid of the rash if its appearance is associated with pathogenic flora. If the cause is hormonal imbalance or pathology of the reproductive system, then the procedure will be powerless.

Dermatologist Ben Behnam

Why doesn't it help everyone?

Since the method is not universal, its therapeutic capabilities are limited to general stimulation of the body. It helps increase defenses in the fight against chronic, sluggish infectious processes.

In this case, autohemotherapy does not affect:

• work of the heart, lungs, kidneys;
• activity of the endocrine system;
• the speed of cleansing the body by the liver, kidneys, and intestines;
• regulation of vital activity by the central nervous and autonomic systems.

For all its advantages (relative harmlessness, absence of chemical compounds in the classic version), the method is considered auxiliary.

It cannot be recommended for critically ill patients who require urgent drug therapy, especially surgery..

Side effects

Even when indications and contraindications are taken into account, sometimes autohemotherapy can lead to negative consequences, as some patient reviews indicate.

This is usually due to the density, viscosity and other properties of the blood. After attending a session, patients may experience the following side effects:

• formation of compactions at puncture sites, painful sensations on palpation;
• the formation of inflammatory processes due to insufficient sterility of instruments;
• rejection of biomaterial by the immune system.

Advantages

The original therapeutic and health-improving technique has many positive characteristics:

• activation of body reserves;
• autohemotherapy is allowed for many diseases;
• strengthening the immune system;
• reduction of relapses in allergic diseases of a chronic nature;
• complex effect on the body;
• the ability to adjust the treatment regimen depending on the patient’s condition;
• improvement of the condition of internal organs and skin;
• symptoms of allergic reactions gradually weaken;
• the possibility of additional blood processing to increase the therapeutic effect.

On a note! The introduction of processed blood enhances the positive effects of the fluid, activates metabolic processes, and accelerates recovery. If you are prone to allergic reactions, the body reacts less frequently to irritants, and the frequency and strength of negative symptoms decreases. A prerequisite for starting therapy is knowledge of the allergen that caused the body’s negative response.

Efficiency of the procedure

Some time after attending the session, you may notice positive changes. Among them are:

• acceleration of wound healing, rehabilitation after injuries;
• faster recovery after surgery;
• healing and cleansing of the skin;
• elimination of inflammatory processes in the body;
• activation of metabolism;
• improvement of well-being and psychological state;
• increasing endurance, vitality, and ability to work;
• removal of toxic substances and waste.

When should this procedure not be done?

Despite the fact that the procedure is considered gentle and leaves no side effects, there are a number of contraindications. These include:

1. Myocardial infarction.
2. Mental disorders.
3. Arrhythmia.
4. Cancer diseases.
5. Pregnancy.
6. Lactation.
7. Menopause and postmenopause.
8. Herpes in various manifestations.
9. Inflammatory processes of female organs, namely appendages.
10. Papillomas.

If a person uses antibiotics, then this procedure is contraindicated for him.

Price per procedure

After studying the indications and contraindications for autohemotherapy, you can contact specialists from public or private medical institutions and find out the price of the service.

The cost of manipulation will depend on the injection site and the appropriate regimen of use.

So, the traditional method will cost about 800 rubles, the stepwise method is more expensive, 1,500 rubles. The most expensive procedure is the one using ozone. Prices for it can reach up to 2000 rubles.

The effectiveness of blood transfusions for acne

Autohemotherapy is actively used in cosmetology and dermatology to treat acne and a number of other skin problems. Among the numerous indications for autohemotherapy, premature aging of the skin is also highlighted. As a result of the procedures, restoration of normal hormonal levels and endocrine gland function is noted.

Autohemotherapy is an excellent alternative to antibiotics in the presence of skin problems that cannot be treated with a variety of external preparations - masks, creams, etc.

When using autohemotherapy against acne, along with the patient’s blood, his own waste, toxins and other “waste” enter his body, under the influence of which the person’s native protective functions are stimulated. As a result, the immune system becomes much stronger and the body has the strength to fight pustular infections.

Despite the effectiveness of autohemotherapy for acne, the patient should remember the importance of regular hygienic skin care. According to average statistical data, the effectiveness of autohemotherapy for acne is about 85%.

Reviews

JULIA, 53 YEARS OLD:

“For several years I suffered from severe symptoms of menopause.
My blood pressure was skyrocketing, I was often dizzy, I didn’t sleep well and constantly felt tired. The doctor advised me to undergo autohemotherapy and talked about the indications and contraindications of the technique in gynecology. At first it was a little scary, but then I decided to try everything.

After the course of injections, I noticed positive changes: more energy appeared, dizziness went away, and my ability to work increased. I recommend!"

ANNA, 24 YEARS OLD:

“My main problem since adolescence has been acne, and what I haven’t done about it.
Still, ugly ulcers appeared on the face, and then they spread to the back and arms. It became completely impossible to tolerate this, and I went to a dermatologist, who prescribed autohemotherapy.

They do it for free at the clinic, and already halfway through the course I noticed an improvement in my condition. There are no side effects, the results can’t help but rejoice.”

Possible complications

Autohemotherapy involves an exacerbation reaction at the beginning of treatment. It is accompanied by:

• increased body temperature;
• increased symptoms of the underlying disease;
• joint and muscle pain.

If such symptoms are mild, treatment continues. When blood is injected under the skin, hematomas often form.

Therefore, almost all doctors refuse this method, preferring the intramuscular route of blood supply. This may also be accompanied by the appearance of painful lumps; if resorption is slow, there may be suppuration at the injection site.

For prevention, local application of iodine mesh after injection is recommended..

The procedure cannot be performed efficiently at home. The technique is among the alternative treatment methods. Until now, its features have not been studied in detail by official medicine. Before going to the session, you must consult a doctor.

Of course, autohemotherapy has many advantages.
But it is more of an auxiliary procedure. It can help fight chronic pathologies and infections, but it will not in any way affect the removal of toxins, the health of the nervous, endocrine system, etc. They are not referred for the procedure if a person urgently needs medication or surgical intervention. Autohemotherapy appeared at the beginning of the last century, but has not yet lost its relevance. With its help, you can get rid of many diseases, strengthen the body's defenses, quickly recover from injuries, and improve the appearance of the skin.

You should first consult with a specialist, undergo a medical examination, and only after that make a decision about the possibility of using the technique.

Reviews from patients and doctors

Most patients respond positively to autohemotherapy. This procedure helps:

• improving performance;
• increasing vitality;
• removing waste and toxins from the body;
• normalization of the blood circulation process;
• improvement of metabolic functions;
• increasing the body's defense mechanisms;
• elimination of purulent processes.

Autohemotherapy allows you to get rid of skin problems, gastrointestinal disorders, and many gynecological ailments in a short period of time. Another important advantage is the low cost of the procedure.

What do doctors say about this treatment method? First of all, doctors warn that it cannot be used as independent therapy. It is better to use in combination with medications prescribed by a doctor. In addition, it is important to choose the right clinic for medical procedures. The final result largely depends on where to perform autohemotherapy. Many patients express dissatisfaction with the result. In most cases, this effect is precisely due to a dubious medical institution, where little attention is paid to the sterility of instruments and the qualifications of specialists.

Some patients, wanting to save money, decide to do without the help of a doctor. They choose to carry out the procedure at home. This approach is strictly prohibited, because it is quite easy to cause infection or complications. In addition, it is difficult for a non-specialist to accurately determine when it is necessary to adjust the dose to reduce the risk of negative reactions. It is not easy for an ordinary person to understand what to do if the temperature rises due to autohemotherapy or the development of allergies.

To perform all manipulations associated with the collection and subsequent administration of biological fluid, absolute sterility and appropriate knowledge in this area are required. Only an experienced doctor can guarantee the patient the safety of his actions and a positive therapeutic effect in the future. If you are prone to various allergic reactions in response to incompetent actions or infection, the consequences are usually severe. It is important to always remember them and not try to self-medicate, deciding to save the family budget.

How realistic will the result be?

The autohemotherapy method is aimed at activating one’s own resources to help fight diseases. Therefore, these opportunities must be present (you must have what needs to be stimulated). The procedures can be performed on relatively healthy people with cosmetic defects (acne, furunculosis), which are associated with weakened immune defenses.

The introduction of one's own blood helps with chronic pathologies with a sluggish course and with isolated organ damage (for example, inflammation of the appendages in women without concomitant diseases). In such cases, you can, figuratively speaking, boost your immunity.

In acute or subacute variants of diseases, acute attacks of pain, circulatory disorders, multiple organ failure, the use of autohemotherapy will not only not give results, but can also significantly increase the risk of decompensation and complications.

It is especially dangerous to undergo autohemotherapy in cosmetology institutions without a preliminary full examination of the body. Even a banal pustular rash is the first manifestation of diabetes mellitus and an imbalance of sex hormones. These diseases have nothing to do with weak immune defenses and are not treated with autohemotherapy.

If the procedures are carried out as general strengthening or rejuvenating, then the result will not appear without changing the eating style, dosed physical activity, water procedures, normalizing bowel function, and completely quitting smoking and alcohol.
