We hold in estimation all users of the DENS-therapy and wish success. A.M.Lavrukov, Doctor or Science, Medicine «DiaDENS.com», www.diadens.com, [email protected] 7 INTRODUCTION Dao is in endless movement. Being in endless movement cannot reach the end. Having not reached the end it returns (to its origin). Daodejing, para 25, IV-VB.C. One cannot assign to particles of substance inside the body some new forces which would not act outside the organism. Du Bois-Reymond, 1845 Only a mother's womb protects adequately a future man against an exposure to the environment. After the birth, immediately after omphalotomy, a child is left to his own resources and finds himself in the adverse environment of the big, enigmatic world full of danger. The newcomer will be exposed to heat, cold, potentially dangerous food, physical damage, psychological injury. There will be contacts with viruses, microbes and other exogenous irritants. From the date of birth and during the entire life adaptation, i.e. maintenance of stability of one's internal environment by self-regulation, becomes the main problem of a man. Little can be changed in inborn properties of a man, however, it is quite realistic to help somebody to adapt to the life at the higher, more comfortable level of existence. Laid in the basis of all adaptive abilities of a man, reactions of adaptation, are reflexes (from Latin reflexus — turned back, reflected). Any reflex activity starts from the receiving by the body of information about changing conditions of the environment which represents the reason for triggering off reactions of adaptation, readjustment of the function and structure of the organism towards the new level which would ensure the safety existence of the body in the changed conditions. As soon as this takes place, information about achievement of the useful result of the adaptive reaction goes into certain structures of the central nervous system, the reflex ring comes apart and the functional system which was created by the body in order to solve this problem gets disconnected having left the adaptive fermentative structural trace. So, important in reactions of adaptation is not the action as it is but compulsory achievement of the useful result in order to maintain stability of the internal environment of the living body at any changes of the external environment. The latter «...is the compulsory provision for the free and independent life» (K. Bernard, 1945). The ability of the body for adaptation, or the adaptive energy, is not limitless. Reserves of the adaptive energy are comparable with inherited riches. The adaptive energy is divided into the surface and deep energies. The surface adaptive energy is spent by us every minute, every day, and the stage of its depletion after short-term loads on the human body is reversible (replenishment takes place, for example, during a sleep). The deep adaptive energy is stored as a reserve. We start using it when there is no the possibility for replenishing the surface energy due to the action of durable and/or frequent but excessive and surplus (different in quality) exogenous and endogenous irritants. During this period, the so-called adaptation diseases are formed. Complete depletion of the adaptive energy is irreversible. When its reserves are depleted the aging and death come. «We still do not know for sure what exactly is depleted, however, it is clear that not reserves of calories: in the period of resistance to the aggressive exposure to environmental factors the ordinary eating takes place» (G.Selye, 1956). In other words, the stability of the internal environment of a man — homeostasis (from Greek homoios — similar and stasis — state) in the course of the reaction of adaptation as a response to the threat to the stability of the internal environment is regulated by the body with the help of synthesis of special substances (hormones, neurotransmitters, neuropeptides) the required amount and proportion of which is determined by the organism. This natural mechanism of reactions of adaptation meets normal requirements of resistance. However, if these requirements to the organism are durable and/or increased, the existing level of development of mechanisms of self-regulation and energy reserves for maintaining homeostasis becomes insufficient, and the organism, in order to maintain the internal stability, should change to the higher level of adaptation (according to G.Selye, to reach heterostasis; from Greek heteros — another and stasis — state). Otherwise, due to depletion, deficit of these or that endogenous biochemical controls, which can be also because of the genotype predisposition («weak link»), disequilibrium deficit-excessive pathologic processes on bioenergy, functional and morphological (structural) levels take place. In other words, a state of illness, distress, takes place. The following methods can be applied in order to achieve the new stable state of movable equilibrium of the body internal environment (heterostasis): 1. To carry out pharmacological replacement of deficient endogenous substances (for instance, adrenocorticotropic hormone, somatotropic hormone, oxytocin, insulin, some hormones of thy roid gland, probiotics, etc). «DiaDENS.com», www.diadens.com, [email protected] 8 2. To carry out pharmacological stimulation of endogenous processes of synthesis of deficient substances (for instance, with the help of superdoses of vitamins, specific and nonspecific immunostimulation, inoculations, etc.) or pharmacological depression of the endogenous excessive synthesis of biochemical compounds (for instance, using anti-estrogen preparations, hormonal and nonsteroidal proinflammatory agents, anticholinergic drugs, adrenergic blockers, etc). 3. To use the information and energy method of exposure to the receptor mechanism of the skin with the purpose of "training* of self-regulating potential possibilities of the body, modulating of processes of self-protection, recovering of the endoge nous ability of adequate work of «the pharmacological factory of the body», increasing of the threshold of adaptation. Due to dynamic electric neurostimulation of skin nervous elements we maintain and develop processes of self-regulation of the internal environment of the body, force the latter to discharge own multi purpose biochemical means of adaptation without depletion of adaptive possibilities and adaptation energy. It is necessary to familiarize ourselves with theoretical concepts of ancient Chinese, with their ideas about «the energy» originative and administrative origin of the existence. The notion, form of existence and method of transfer of the energy are not deciphered in manuscripts of ancient Chinese authors, they are not available in terms intelligible for a modern man. It goes simply about some Tsi energy which is absolutely of vital importance and which exists even beyond living things (initially Dao). Consumption of Tsi energy from outside and regulation of its circulation inside the organism represent the basis of life, and the variety of life is the result of a rhythmic transfer of Tsi energy from one form into another. Formed in this way are two opposite and simultaneously inseparable from each other origins of Life — Yin- Yang. Functional system «man — environment" was formed on the basis of these ideas in Ancient China. Health and viability of a man are measured by the possibility to maintain the permanent dynamic balance of two origins (i.e. stability of the internal environment, according to the European understanding). According to the theoretical concept given above, the Chinese diagnostic and therapy were first of all directed towards the reveal of the nature and place of fault in circulation of the energy with the purpose of its re-distribution. At first sight, a modern man may take this as a mystery and absurd. However, if we in our thoughts try to get rid of our preconceptions and remember that the energy is an abstract notion, it is a general qualitative measure of various forms of motion, it is not generated in anything and does not disappear anywhere but just transfers from one form into another (first law of thermodynamics); if we know that a single organism represents a specific unit of the metabolic process and in this function acts as an independent dynamic open biological system which exchanges with the external environment by substance and energy (see laws of thermodynamics) we will see that the concept of energy circulation does not contradict modern ideas about the every living thing. Simply starting our talk about bioenergyin- formatics we deal with ideas which are little known to modern biological sciences, we deal with biophysics of the body as a whole but part of all Existing things — subject which does not exist so far. However, the permanent biophysical informational and energy continuum must exist since high sensitivity of biological objects to electromagnetic processes exists. The wide and successful use of electric neurostimulation therapy apparatus DENAS with the purpose of correction of a number of pathological states may serve as an example of the latter. «DiaDENS.com», www.diadens.com, [email protected] 9 PART ONE MELIUS NON INCIPIENT, QUAM DESINENT CHAPTER 1. BRIEF HISTORICAL NOTE The Life is the unity of three flows: flow of substance, flow of energy, flow of information. Academician V.A.Engelgard 1. Eastern Traditions About 5,000 years ago, in China, folk doctors found empirically on the human skin certain zones or points stimulation of which by injection or cauterization led to disappearance of painful effects. (Huang di Neijing, III B.C.). This method, based on certain philosophical principles of the transfer of the vital energy Tsi was called zhen-jiu. In 1026, the first "Atlas of Points" came into existence (Wang Wei-yi. 600 active points). In Japan, Vietnam, Korea, Mongolia and India zhen-jiu therapy received wide recognition in 6-11 centuries. It was actively used till 17 century after which it ceased to apply. In 1955, in China zhen-jiu therapy revived after establishing a research institute of zhen-jiu therapy. The study of this technique was for the first time included into the syllabus of medical institutions. The Europe learnt the method of acupuncture and cauterization in the 17 century. It was widely used in the 19 century. The interest to this method grew especially in 20s-40s of the 20 century. In Russia, first mentioning of acupuncture may be found in scientific papers of a number of authors of the 19 century and beginning of the 20 century (P. Charukovsky, 1828; A.A.Tatarinova, 1853; P.A.Kornievsky, 1863, 1878; A.Ya.Violina, 1903; V.V.Korsakov, 1928). The regular study and use of this method in Russia was initiated by the Health Ministry of USSR in 1957. In the 20 century, in line with improvement of the method of corporal acupuncture, new systems of treatment of certain active points (zones) by acupuncture and cauterization, including points of the auricle (er-zhen-lao, auriculopuncture, Paul Nogier), of feet and hands (Su Jok acupuncture, Ch.V.Pak) started developing. Known at present are more than 1,700 biologically active points (zones). For many centuries in Japan, the zone massage amma was used as part of the national folk medicine. In 40s of the 20 century, Tokiuro Namikoshi re-interpreted and modernized the ancient system and gave it the name "shiatsu". According to the Japanese Ministry of Health, "shiatsu" is such kind of treatment at which fingers of hands and palm are used for pressurizing certain points (zones) of the body with the purpose of normalizing regulatory processes in the organism, preserving and improving health". (Namikoshi T., 1987). Since 1956, the shiatsu-therapy has gained widespread acceptance in may countries of the world as one of nonin-vasive methods of the first medical aid easy for every person. In the West, this aid got the name contact treatment or acupressure (Houston R, 1992). 2. European Curiosity Even ancient scientists assumed that some "inf luence" is transferred via nerves - from the brain to muscles and from the sense organs to the brain. Italian doctor and scientist L. Galvani while conducting experiments with a frog paw, on 26 September 1786, discovered "the animal energy* and marked the beginning of electrobiology. He hypothesized that paralysis may be connected with the disturbed nerve isolation and epilepsy, with a heavy electric discharge in the brain. "...ln the future, I will apply all efforts for development of the new direction in medicine - electromedicine", wrote L. Galvani ("Tractate on Force of Electricity at Muscular Movements*, 1791). 1796 - Italian physicist Alessandro Volta discovered the Volta effect and chemical sources of current. ”Can it (electric fluid) be the reason of all sensations (except for the tongue) in other sense organs?”, he thought. 1784-1812 - Czech scientist I.Prokhaska introduced into physiology a notion of some nerve force which is transferred via nerve fibers at the body exposure to the "Stimulation matters" and term "reflex" for designation of the reaction of the body which appears in response to the action of this stimulus. The force of this reaction corresponds to the force of the stimuls. As distinct from R. Descartes, he believed that the reflex act may appear not only due to the effect of external stimuli but also due to the effect of internal ones. «DiaDENS.com», www.diadens.com, [email protected] 10
