During the Second World War, the surgeon Ivan Ivanovich Shcheglov, widely used a hypertonic (saturated) solution of table salt in the defeat of bones and joints.
On extensive and dirty wounds, he applied a loose, abundantly moistened with a hypertonic solution, a large napkin.
After 3-4 days, the wound became clean and pink, the temperature dropped to normal, after which a plaster cast was applied. Then the wounded man went to the rear.
According to the Shcheglov method, it is even possible to treat caries complicated by granuloma with salt swabs.
Let's look at the effect of a hypertensive solution on closed pathological processes in the body, such as cholecystitis, nephritis, chronic appendicitis, rheumocarditis, post-influenza inflammatory processes in the lungs, articular rheumatism, osteomyelitis, abscess after injections, etc.
Back in 1964, in a polyclinic under the supervision of an experienced surgeon who diagnosed and selected patients, chronic appendicitis was cured in 6 days with salt dressings in two patients, shoulder abscess was cured in 9 days without autopsy, knee bursitis was eliminated in 5-6 days, which did not respond to any means of conservative treatment.
These facts indicate that the saline solution, having absorbent properties, absorbs only liquid from the tissues and spares erythrocytes, leukocytes and living cells of the tissues themselves.
A hypertonic solution of table salt is a sorbent, I once tried it on myself with a 2-3 degree burn. Desperate to relieve the pain with pharmacy remedies, I applied a salt bandage to the burn. After a minute, the acute pain passed, only a slight burning sensation remained, and after 10-15 minutes I fell asleep calmly. In the morning there was no pain, and after a few days the burn healed like a normal wound.
One day I stopped at an apartment where children had whooping cough. To save the children from suffering, continuous and debilitating cough, I put salt bandages on their backs. After an hour and a half, the cough subsided and did not resume until morning. After four bandages, the disease disappeared without a trace.
A five-and-a-half-year-old child was poisoned at dinner with substandard food. The medications didn't help. Around noon, I put a saline bandage on his stomach. After an hour and a half, nausea and diarrhea stopped, pain gradually decreased, and after five hours all signs of poisoning disappeared.
Convinced of the positive effect of salt dressings on normal pathological processes, I decided to use their healing properties for the treatment of tumors. The polyclinic surgeon offered me to work with a patient who had a cancerous mole on her face.
The methods used in such cases by official medicine did not help the woman – for six months of treatment, the mole turned purple, increased in volume. I started using salt stickers. After the first sticker, the tumor paled and decreased, after the second, the result improved even more, and after the fourth sticker, the mole acquired a natural color and appearance that it had before rebirth. With the fifth sticker, the treatment ended without surgery.
In 1966, a student with a breast adenoma approached me. The doctor who diagnosed her recommended surgery. I advised the patient to apply salt bandages on her chest for several days before the operation. The bandages helped – no surgical intervention was required.
After 9 years, I called my patient. She replied that she had successfully graduated from university, felt well, there had been no relapses of the disease, and only small seals on her chest remained in memory of the adenoma. I think these are purified cells of former tumors, harmless to the body.
At the end of 1969, another woman, a researcher at the museum, came to me with cancerous tumors of both mammary glands. Her diagnosis and referral for surgery were signed by a professor of medicine. Salt helped again – the tumor resolved without surgery. However, this woman also had seals on the site of tumors.
At the end of the same year, I had the experience of treating prostate adenoma. In the regional hospital, the patient was strongly recommended surgery. But he decided to try out salt pads first. After nine procedures, the patient recovered. He is healthy now.
For 3 years, the woman suffered from white blood – her hemoglobin content in the blood dropped catastrophically. Every 19 days, the patient received a blood transfusion, which somehow supported her.
Having found out that before the illness, the patient had worked for many years at a shoe factory with chemical dyes, I also understood the cause of the disease – poisoning with subsequent violation of the hematopoietic function of the bone marrow. And I recommended saline bandages to her, alternating bandages "blouses" and bandages "trousers" at night for three weeks.
The woman took the advice, and by the end of the treatment cycle, the hemoglobin content in the patient's blood began to grow. Three months later I met my patient, she was perfectly healthy.
Summarizing the results of my 25-year observations on the use of hypertonic salt solution for medicinal purposes, I came to the following conclusions.
1. A 10% solution of table salt is an active sorbent. Salt interacts with water not only through direct contact, but also through air, material, and body tissues. Taken inside the body, salt absorbs and retains fluid in cavities, cells, localizing it in its locations. Applied externally (salt dressings), salt makes contact with tissue fluid and, sucking, absorbs it through the skin and mucous membrane.
The volume of liquid absorbed by the bandage is directly proportional to the volume of air displaced from the bandage. Therefore, the effect of a salt dressing depends on how breathable (hygroscopic) it is, which, in turn, depends on the material used for the dressing, its thickness.
2. The salt dressing acts locally: only on the diseased organ, the affected area, penetrating into the depth. As the fluid is absorbed from the subcutaneous layer, tissue fluid from deeper layers rises into it, dragging along the pathogenic principle: microbes, viruses, inorganic substances, poisons, etc.
Thus, during the action of the bandage, the fluid is renewed in the tissues of the diseased organ and their disinfection - purification from the pathogenic factor, and hence the elimination of the pathological process. At the same time, the tissues act as a kind of filter that passes through microorganisms and particles of matter having a volume less than the lumen of the interstitial pore.
3. A bandage with a hypertonic solution of table salt acts constantly. The therapeutic result is achieved within 7-10 days. In some cases, a longer period is required.
Conditions for the use of saline solution
1. Saline solution can only be used in a bandage, but in no case in a compress, because the bandage must be breathable.
2. The concentration of salt in the solution should not exceed 10%. Dressing from a solution of a higher concentration causes pain in the area of application and destruction of capillaries in the tissues. 8% solution – 2 teaspoons of table salt per 250 ml of water – is used in bandages for children, 10% solution for adults - 2 teaspoons of table salt per 200 ml of water. You can take ordinary water, not necessarily distilled.
3. Before treatment, wash the body with warm water and soap, and after the procedure, wash off the salt from the body with a warm, damp towel.
4. The dressing material should be hygroscopic and clean, without residues of fat, ointment, alcohol, iodine. The skin of the body should also be clean. For a bandage, it is better to use linen or cotton fabric, but not new, but repeatedly washed. The ideal option is gauze.
The salt dressing is made only of hygroscopic, well-soaked cotton material in water - repeatedly washed, not new, not kitchen and not starched, "waffle" towels in 3-4 layers and thin, also well-soaked, medical gauze in 8-10 layers, as well as hygroscopic, better viscose, cotton wool for tampons.
5. Linen, cotton material, towel is folded in no more than 4 layers, gauze - up to 8 layers. Only with an air-permeable bandage, the tissue fluid is sucked out.
6. Due to the circulation of the solution and air, the bandage causes a feeling of coolness. Therefore, the bandage should be soaked with a hot hypertonic solution (60-70 degrees). Before applying the bandage, you can cool it slightly by shaking it in the air.
7. The dressing should be of medium humidity, not very dry, but not too wet. Keep the bandage on the sore spot for 10-15 hours.
8. Nothing can be put on top of the bandage. But in order to fix the bandage soaked in the solution, it is necessary to bind it tightly enough to the body: with a wide bandage on the trunk, abdomen, chest, and narrow - on the fingers, hands, feet, face, head.
The shoulder belt should be bandaged with an eight, through the armpits from the back. In case of pulmonary processes (in case of bleeding, do not apply in any case!) the bandage is placed on the back, trying to get to the sore spot as accurately as possible. The chest should be bandaged tightly, but without squeezing the breath.
P.S. The compress can also be used for cosmetic purposes – it removes the "bags" under the eyes and cleanses the skin
In medical practice, a 10% solution of table salt (stone and no other) is usually used = 100 g per 1 liter of water. For the treatment of the liver, pancreas, spleen, kidneys and for head bandages, it is better to use 8-9% solution = 80-90 g of salt per 1 liter of water). Salt for the solution must be taken strictly by weight, the container (jar) with the solution should be kept closed so that it does not evaporate and does not change its concentration.
