Results of autohemotherapy

Autohemotherapy is a medical procedure during which a person’s own blood is administered in order to activate the immune system. This method is based on the assumption of scientists about the “memory” of blood, which, when administered repeatedly, can find the source of pathology and suppress its development.

What's happened

During classical manipulation, your own fresh blood is injected intramuscularly or intravenously. The main thing is not to add any other substances or drugs. To protect against infiltrates, apply a heating pad to the injection site.

The essence of the method is that repeated injection of blood stimulates the body’s protective properties, thanks to which it is possible to get rid of various chronic pathologies. The procedure is safe and effective.

Autohemotherapy should be performed in a clinic with sterile conditions to avoid infection. Despite its high effectiveness, this method of treatment is not recommended for everyone.

Kinds

In addition to the classic version, there are other types of the procedure. Stepped autohemotherapy is characterized by the addition of homeopathic remedies to the blood and a reduction in the number of sessions.

For skin problems and infectious furunculosis, antibacterial drugs are used. This will speed up the healing process. During biopuncture, venous blood is taken, after which the painful areas are treated.

Autohemotherapy with ozone is successfully used in gynecology, urology, and cosmetology due to its increased therapeutic effect. This type also helps to overcome chronic fatigue.

Another type of procedure is the use of autologous blood. In this case, to improve the result, the blood is exposed to low temperatures, ultraviolet radiation, and laser.

Indications

The following indications for the use of such manipulation should be highlighted:

• Chronic infection with cytomegalovirus .
• Long-term inflammation of the uterus and ovaries.
• Adhesions in the pelvic area.
• The presence of multiple papillomas , condylomas.
• Climax.
• Infertility.
• Purulent lesions of soft tissue structures.
• Weakening of the immune system.
• Insufficient functionality of the thyroid gland, chronic fatigue.

This type of treatment is often used by patients with problem skin when antibiotics, special ointments and lotions do not help. Autohemotherapy for acne is extremely effective due to the stimulation of the body's protective properties, thereby eliminating toxins and waste.

Despite the high results, it is still important to take proper care of your skin every day. Autohemotherapy is also used for allergies, bronchial asthma, and psoriasis. Blood infusion allows you to adjust hormonal levels and rejuvenate the body.

Fighting acne with autohemotherapy

In cosmetology, the autohemotherapy procedure is most in demand for solving acne problems. Some patients have to try many remedies before they can get rid of their acne. These are various preparations for external use - masks, lotions, creams and products that need to be taken internally - antibiotics, herbal medicines. Autohemotherapy is a modern alternative to tablets and ointments.

With acne, it is necessary to stimulate a person’s protective abilities with the help of waste and toxins entering the blood, which in most cases are the main source of the problem. As a result of treatment, the patient’s immunity increases, which makes it possible to defeat pustular infections.

The effectiveness of the procedure is enhanced when combined with daily skin care activities. In 80% of cases, autohemotherapy has a positive effect on the patient's skin condition. In addition to acne, the indication for the procedure may be the need to rejuvenate the face and body.

In addition to quick results and a minimum of contraindications, autohemotherapy has another advantage over other methods of treatment - low cost. This makes the method accessible to any person without contraindications for whom other health options have proven ineffective. The procedure is widely used in many medical fields. The dosage of blood, the injection site and the number of injections are determined by the doctor on an individual basis.

Autohemotherapy is a manipulation that involves administering venous blood to the patient. The procedure is performed intramuscularly. For each pathological condition, the doctor adheres to a specific administration regimen, and the goal of treatment for any diagnosis is a nonspecific increase in immunity. Additionally, blood ozonation is prescribed. The treatment is well tolerated and has few side effects.

The patient should become familiar with the indications and contraindications for autohemotherapy before starting treatment. The application of the technique is based on a homeopathic approach: in the blood of a sick person there are microbes with toxins, which, when administered in small doses, stimulate the healing process.

The procedure in question is used in the practice of empirical medicine. Doctors in this field use data from personal or other people’s experience without scientific research. The result of autohemotherapy can be positive, negative or zero. Autohemotherapy is indicated in the following cases:

• long-term chronic inflammation occurring in the respiratory system, reproductive system, joints;
• intestinal and stomach ulcers;
• wounds that heal slowly;
• trophic ulcer on the skin;
• purulent rash;
• acne;
• furunculosis;
• herpes;
• infertility;
• allergy.

Among the main contraindications to autohemotherapy, experts identify malaria and acute nephritis. The technique is not recommended for use in cases of decompensated diabetes, severe renal and liver failure, cancer, or HIV infection. Treatment is not carried out:

• children under 5 years old;
• during pregnancy;
• during lactation.

If the procedure is performed correctly, side effects will be excluded or hardly noticeable. Failure to maintain sterility increases the risk of infection, allergies, and chills. If side effects occur in combination, therapy is interrupted.

Contraindications

Autohemotherapy is prescribed in many cases, but sometimes manipulation cannot be carried out. The procedure is prohibited if the following contraindications exist:

• Acute infarction .
• Severe mental disorders.
• Arrhythmias.
• Epileptic seizures.
• Malignant neoplasms.
• Acute tuberculosis .
• Heart, kidney or liver failure .

You cannot undergo a transfusion of your own blood during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Temporary restrictions include menstruation, alcohol intoxication, exacerbation of infectious diseases with increased body temperature.

Autohemotherapy - what is it, scheme, reviews

Autohemotherapy is a fairly old method of treating a number of diseases by injecting the patient subcutaneously or intramuscularly with his own blood taken from a vein. The good thing about this method is that it stimulates the body’s own defenses to fight the disease.

It is used in dermatology, and now also in cosmetology, it gives good results in the treatment of acne, helps with furunculosis, and gets rid of papillomas. But, unfortunately, when the method ceased to be a purely medical method of treatment with strict indications and contraindications, dissatisfied clients began to appear for whom autohemotherapy did not help get rid of problems, despite the financial and time costs.

Let's figure out in what cases it is worth undergoing an autohemotherapy session, what you need to do before deciding on the procedures, what else to find out about these procedures from your friend if this treatment helped her.

Why doesn't it help everyone?

Medicine involves a systematic approach to the problem of treating any disease, when the doctor’s attention is directed to the entire body, and not to individual symptoms.

But in relation to cosmetic skin defects, such as pimples, blackheads, boils, this approach is often not applied, because:

• people with cosmetic problems do not go to doctors, they use the experience of friends and acquaintances who have “helped” or information from advertisements and videos as a guide to action;
• people turn to doctors, but do not complete the examination due to constant redirection from one specialist to another;
• the doctor prescribes to the patient a procedure that is in the institution’s price list, despite the fact that the procedure itself cannot provide the required effect (for example, some salons sell autohemotherapy as a rejuvenating procedure for facial skin).

Add to this the intrusive marketing from manufacturers and sellers of cosmetics, medicines, and cosmetic procedures, and you will get the answer to why we have so many people who “have tried everything, but nothing helps.”

If it begins to be sold as a salon service, before which the patient is not prescribed any tests or examinations, then the effect is not guaranteed. You may be lucky, or you may not be lucky.

What problems can be solved by introducing autologous blood?

In response to subcutaneous or intramuscular injection of blood, a number of changes in metabolism develop in the body, protective mechanisms are activated, and reactions are intensified aimed at increasing the body’s resistance to unfavorable factors.

The most striking manifestation of the changes occurring in the human body are reactions from the immune system, when the body itself begins to cope with a number of problems:

• sluggish infectious and purulent processes are resolved;
• papillomas and warts disappear;
• the skin is cleansed of annoying acne and boils;
• the body successfully resists seasonal ARVI;
• Herpes does not recur.

This short list can be used as indications for autohemotherapy in cosmetology.

What advertising promises should you not believe?

• Autohemotherapy to get rid of acne.

Maybe it will save you, maybe not. If the cause of acne is pathogenic flora, then undoubtedly an increase in immunity and the body’s ability to resist infection will lead to the disappearance of the rash or a decrease in the number of its elements on the skin.

If the issue is hormonal status, the presence of Helicobacter or diseases of the genital area, then the introduction of your own blood may not produce results.

• Normalizes the functioning of the endocrine system.

A very general formulation that allows any potential client of the salon to put any meaning into it. Injecting your own blood will not allow you to stop taking thyroxine for people with low thyroid function or for giving insulin to people with diabetes.

Therefore, it is better to ask the doctor specific questions about the disease or problem that you have during the consultation.

• Removes waste and toxins from the body.

Let’s not be distracted by the unscientific nature of the word “waste,” but simply agree that this term will mean the metabolic products of human body cells, which should be excreted by the sweat glands, kidneys and liver.

In case of renal or liver failure, autohemotherapy will not replace hemodialysis or hemosorption.

And it is much more effective to cleanse the body of waste and toxins on an ongoing basis with the help of a balanced diet, regular exercise, water procedures, and normalization of intestinal function.

• Restores performance and increases vitality.

Self-hypnosis is everything to us. Depression, constant lack of sleep, overwork cannot be cured by injecting your own blood into the fifth point. You need rest, good sleep, a change of scenery, meeting with friends, positive emotions every day. All this cannot be replaced by a medical procedure.

What else do you need to know?

• The use of medications for its implementation.

Currently, the main method of autohemotherapy is the injection of fresh blood from a vein into the patient’s gluteal muscle. But this is also the name for various methods in which medicinal or homeopathic preparations are added to venous blood before its administration.

What does it mean? If a friend tells you about real miracles with the skin after autohemotherapy, do not forget to clarify what else was injected into her.

If it was an antibiotic, then it is not at all necessary to spoil your veins. It is enough to take a course of antibiotics in tablets or capsules and get the same effect.

In some cases, injections of autologous blood are alternated with the administration of calcium gluconate. This course also differs from the usual course of autohemotherapy in how both of its components act separately and in combination, and what effect can be obtained from the procedure.

• The use of topical drugs or oral agents simultaneously with autohemotherapy.

Complex treatment gives better results over a longer period of time. If, with the introduction of autologous blood, a person was prescribed local mash, oral medications, recommended to change skincare cosmetics, completely abandon decorative products and certain food products for a while, then any of these factors or their combined effect could lead to an improvement in the condition of the skin.

Autohemotherapy itself, without other measures, could have no effect.

• This procedure is absolutely safe and harmless.

This is a medical procedure and a whole science of treating diseases by introducing one’s own blood into the patient’s tissues. As a medical science, it should be prescribed by professionals in their field, and not by managers selling salon services in white coats.

And as a medical procedure, the injection of autologous blood should be carried out in a treatment room with sterility so that the procedure does not cause more harm than good. It is worth carrying out at home only if the procedure is performed by a nurse or doctor. The method also has its contraindications and side effects.

Contraindications

These procedures are not prescribed or performed in the following cases:

• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• mental illness in the acute stage;
• epilepsy;
• arrhythmias;
• oncology of any localization;
• acute myocardial infarction.

Temporary contraindications for this procedure are:

• alcohol consumption, in which the patient comes to the procedure in a state of intoxication;
• general severe condition of the body;
• feverish condition and some others at the discretion of the attending physician.

Autohemotherapy regimens

Currently, several schemes have been developed, among them there are classic ones, used unchanged since the times of the Soviet Union, and modern proprietary ones, which are used by doctors in their clinics to treat diseases of various profiles. The most commonly used are the following.

The technique of the procedure is simple: blood is taken from a vein in the arm and injected into the gluteal muscle. During the first procedure, 2 ml of blood is taken, during the second 4 ml, and so on until the blood volume reaches 10 ml at a time.

Injections are carried out every day or every other day. In some cases, after reaching a volume of 10 ml, several more procedures are performed, during which the volume of injected blood is gradually reduced to 2 ml.

• Minor autohemotherapy with ozone

First, 5 ml of a mixture of ozone and oxygen is drawn into the syringe, and then up to 10 ml of blood is taken from a vein. The contents of the syringe are carefully mixed and injected intramuscularly.

100-150 ml of the patient’s blood is collected into a special sterile container, an anticoagulant (a drug that prevents the blood from clotting) is added, and 100-300 ml of a mixture of ozone and oxygen is injected into it. The contents of the container are mixed for 5-10 minutes and then administered intravenously to the patient.

• Stepped according to Reckeweg.

The procedure is divided into four stages. During each stage, venous blood is enriched with one of the homeopathic medicines and administered to the patient intramuscularly.

Venous blood is injected under the skin in the area where acupuncture points are located. Side effects:

• increased body temperature;
• the appearance of compaction and pain at the site of blood injection into the muscle or under the skin;
• hematomas;
• the appearance of infiltrates in the muscle followed by suppuration;
• deterioration of well-being, activation of the disease process in the body.

How often can you do it

Typically, breaks of at least three months are prescribed between courses of procedures. Only a doctor can answer this question in more detail. In some cases, repeated courses may not be necessary.

Preparation

Autohemotherapy does not require any serious preparation. Before the first session, it is extremely important to fully examine the body for contraindications, since the procedure in this case can lead to consequences and worsening of the condition.

To do this, before the manipulation you should consult a doctor and undergo a full diagnosis. If the course will take place in a cosmetology salon, then you need to take the choice of institution seriously. The specialist must be highly qualified and have extensive experience working with this type of therapy.

Progress

After a full examination, a treatment option is selected. Most often, they resort to the classic step-by-step scheme, when pure venous blood is injected.

The collection occurs from the vessels of the upper extremities, after which the blood is immediately injected intramuscularly or subcutaneously to prevent clotting. In most cases, the plasma is infused into the upper buttock area.

At the first session, 2 milliliters are injected. In subsequent procedures, the volume is increased by 2 ml until it reaches 10 ml, after which the dose is reversed to 2 ml.

If in the middle of the course, when the amount of injected blood reaches its maximum size, a pronounced pain syndrome occurs at the injection site, signaling poor tolerance, then the injections are given after 2-3 days. Often the scheme is adjusted towards softening.

In this case, the volume increases by 1 ml, but manipulation is carried out daily. Thus, the patient tolerates the therapeutic course more easily. However, the level of efficiency in such a situation is somewhat reduced.

Treatment of furunculosis with autohemotherapy

To treat furunculosis, autohemotherapy is used both in its pure form and autohemotherapy with ozone, antibiotics, homeopathic substances and other components. This technique has been used since the beginning of the 20th century. This method of getting rid of boils is also called a blood transfusion, but it is slightly different from the standard method of transfusion from donor to patient.

Autohemotherapy can be used for furunculosis as a radical measure to eliminate the disease.

What is the procedure?

In autohemotherapy, the patient's personal blood is injected subcutaneously, intravenously or intramuscularly. Autohemotherapy is one of the traditional methods of getting rid of boils. The method for treating boils has been tested over a long period and, with sufficient qualifications of the health worker, is completely safe.

Operating principle

The procedure consists of collecting the patient's venous blood and then injecting it under the skin, intramuscularly or intravenously. With such manipulation, the body associates its own blood with a foreign substance. The process of maximum production of protective cells begins, which subsequently recognize the blood as “native”. Therefore, the action of the produced cells is redirected to pathological processes in the body.

The effect of autohemotherapy is to activate the immune system.

The results of such procedures:

• activation of protective processes in the body;
• activation of metabolic reactions;
• increased vitality;
• activation of brain and physical activity;
• accelerating wound healing and stopping the development of purulent processes;
• accelerating the removal of waste and toxins from the body.

Scheme of autohemotherapy for boils

The technique according to the classical scheme is quite simple: blood is taken from a vein and injected into the gluteal muscle. The treatment regimen consists of 10–20 procedures. For the first 10 days, the introduction is increasing. On the first day, 1 ml is administered, then every day the blood volume is increased by 1 ml, and on the 10th day it is 10 ml. Then a descending scheme is applied - by 1 ml every day. There are schemes of 10 procedures. The blood volume is increased every day by 2 ml, brought to 10 ml, then decreased daily by 2 ml and brought to 2 ml. If the procedure is prescribed along with medications, then they are additionally added to the syringe before injection into the muscle.

Major autohemotherapy is somewhat reminiscent of a blood transfusion procedure. It can only be carried out by a qualified specialist. For this, venous blood is taken in a large volume (100-150 ml). Then it is specially prepared for re-injection into the vein, it is specially shaken, an ozonation technique is carried out, medicinal substances are introduced, or a special device is used for ultraviolet treatment (directly during the re-infusion of blood). The procedure must be done according to a strict regimen using Heparin.

Can the procedure be done at home?

You can carry out the classic autohemotherapy procedure to get rid of furunculosis at home after a little practice. But only the doctor determines the advisability of the procedure from the “benefit/harm” perspective. The treatment regimen is determined solely by the attending physician. Only with the help of properly selected therapy can you get a positive result from the procedure.

Contraindications and side effects

Autohemotherapy for furunculosis is not carried out for pregnant women, cancer patients, people with diseases of the cardiovascular system or mental health.
Due to the high likelihood of side effects in childhood, as well as the specifics of the procedure itself, it is extremely rarely prescribed to children. Contraindications and side effects of autohemotherapy for furunculosis:

• elevated temperature;
• period of menopause and postmenopause;
• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• acute myocardial infarction and severe forms of arrhythmia;
• therapeutic course of antibiotics for concomitant diseases;
• herpetic diseases;
• inflammation of the appendages;
• mental disorders;
• oncological diseases.

The disadvantage of the procedure is that the blood itself is a complex substance that slowly dissolves in muscle tissue. As a result, compactions and hematomas may occur. Side effects after manipulation are extremely rare. If there is an elevated body temperature after the procedure, or pain at the injection site of the blood product, a correction is made in the therapy regimen or it is canceled completely.

Therapy prognosis

If the cause of furunculosis is associated with disturbances in the immune system, infectious diseases, metabolic disorders in the body and problems with the gastrointestinal tract, then the prognosis after the procedure is positive. In case of hormonal imbalances, such treatment will be extremely limited. Furunculosis requires complex treatment. The autohemotherapy procedure does not in itself give a clearly positive result. A healthy lifestyle, treatment with vitamins, adherence to a daily routine, and avoidance of stress are accompanying factors in applying the entire treatment regimen for furunculosis prescribed by the doctor.

Duration and frequency of the procedure

The manipulation does not take much time. Most often, the collected blood is injected almost immediately to prevent clotting. If not classical, but other autohemotherapy is performed, then short-term treatment with ozone, low temperatures, antibacterial or homeopathic drugs, X-ray or ultraviolet radiation occurs. This is done to improve the effectiveness of the procedure.

One course consists of 10-15 injections. The duration of treatment depends on the patient's condition, the severity of the disease and should be determined by the doctor. The more advanced the pathology, the longer it takes to transfuse your own blood.

The number of injections and the volume of plasma is selected by a specialist strictly individually for each patient. It is not recommended to perform autohemotherapy more than several times a year. In extreme cases, the manipulation is repeated every three months.

Side effects

Despite the safety and high effectiveness, the procedure sometimes leads to complications. If the dose of blood exceeds the maximum value, then an increase in body temperature, the appearance of painful sensations in muscle tissue, and an inflammatory process in the injection area are possible.

At the injection site, the blood is absorbed more slowly, as a result of which the pain syndrome persists for a certain period. Sometimes hematomas, swelling or compactions appear. It is extremely rare that autohemotherapy leads to the opposite effect, causing the patient’s condition to sharply worsen.

If the patient has increased blood clotting, then even a few minutes of manipulation is enough time for the plasma to clot in the syringe. As a result, the patient is prescribed plenty of fluids and the use of foods that help thin the blood.

Such therapy should be approached with extreme caution even in the presence of a common cold. It is important to wait for a complete cure, since after normalization of body temperature and elimination of the acute period, autohemotherapy can worsen the condition and aggravate the pathology.

Results of the procedure

To determine the result of the manipulation, the patient is given a blood test before and after therapy. If autohemotherapy is carried out correctly, after treatment the level of leukocytes in the blood increases. This indicates the normalization of vital processes in the body and an increase in the immune system.

Autohemotherapy is a cosmetic and therapeutic procedure carried out by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection of blood taken from his own vein to the patient. This technique is based on the principle of “treating like with like.” According to scientists, blood, the main part of which is water, “remembers” information about the pathologies present in the body and, upon repeated administration, finds the source of the disease and destroys it.

The first successful experience of autohemotherapy was described by the surgeon August Bier in 1905, who used this procedure to create artificial hematomas for the treatment of fractures. Subsequently, specialists made attempts to strengthen the immunity of patients with chronic inflammatory and infectious diseases, furunculosis, etc. using autohemotherapy.

Today, autohemotherapy is part of immunocorrective therapy and has become widespread in cosmetology.

Advantages and disadvantages

This manipulation is considered safe, does not require any special preparatory process, and proceeds quickly so that the blood does not clot. The procedure is often performed at home due to its ease of implementation. However, it is better to contact an experienced specialist in a clinic or beauty salon in order to achieve maximum results and not harm yourself by getting an infection.

Another advantage of this treatment is the large number of indications. Autohemotherapy effectively copes with skin diseases, infectious pathologies, joint diseases, gynecological problems, papillomatosis, menopause and infertility.

In addition, the procedure strengthens the immune system, activating protective properties, normalizes metabolism, restores working capacity, and cleanses the body of toxins, poisons, and toxic substances. The manipulation also improves blood circulation, has a positive effect on the functioning of the thyroid gland, and accelerates the regeneration of tissue structures. The latter applies most of all to long-term non-healing wounds, trophic ulcers in diabetes mellitus, and varicose veins.

What problems can be solved by introducing autologous blood?

In response to subcutaneous or intramuscular injection of blood, a number of changes in metabolism develop in the body, protective mechanisms are activated, and reactions are intensified aimed at increasing the body’s resistance to unfavorable factors.

The most striking manifestation of the changes occurring in the human body are reactions from the immune system, when the body itself begins to cope with a number of problems:

• sluggish infectious and purulent processes are resolved;
• papillomas and warts disappear;
• the skin is cleansed of annoying acne and boils;
• the body successfully resists seasonal ARVI;
• Herpes does not recur.

This short list can be used as indications for autohemotherapy in cosmetology.
