Medical Leeches. Fundamentals of Eustress Activation of Defense Systems. Girulain Method. A Guide for Doctors and Health Professionals

This edition was created as a manual for training doctors and health professionals based on the Girulain method of eustress activation of defense systems.

The book will also be useful for readers interested in natural methods of health restoration, and for anyone who wants to learn about the possibilities of using natural remedies for treatment, health improvement, and strengthening well-being. The publication further develops the approach from the 2006 monograph on hirudotherapy, which became the first officially approved educational manual on hirudotherapy for the system of postgraduate education for doctors ("Treatment with Leeches: Theory and Practice of Hirudotherapy. A Guide for Physicians," 2006). This work first formulated the concept of the body's protective-adaptive potential.

The author substantiated and proposed a method of using leeches to enhance it through dosed eustress. This approach creates new opportunities for treating various conditions, primarily in cases where classical therapy proves to be insufficiently effective. It also allows for achieving maximum results from a minimal number of procedures.

The reader is presented with extensive information on hirudotherapy: the history of leech application, the biology of the leech, the theory of the Girulain Method, and the peculiarities of eustress activation of the body's defense systems.

The guide is equipped with quality illustrations and a list of recommended literature for independent study. Additionally, the book includes a detailed medical reference on hirudotherapy with recommendations for point selection for more than 55 diseases and pathological conditions.
