3FROM THE AUTHOR
I was born in the Altai family physicians. My mom and sister
- Children's doctors. Therefore, in my childhood I was constantly confronted
to talk about medicine. It would seem that with such a "history" to me
direct route into medicine. Subsequently, it just happened. But ...
All my conscious childhood and adolescence I just raved far
not medicine. I wanted to be, probably, as all of our boys
yard pilot. One day my father and I went skiing. After the walk we went to friends for tea, and there first
time in my life I saw a man, a cancer patient. He was very
thin and suffered severely from pain. To me it made a very strong
impression. When we arrived home, I asked my mother, really
can not cure this disease? She said: "Unfortunately,
son, in this stage of our medicine yet powerless. " In eighth grade I accidentally fell into the hands of the book, even now
I do not remember what the name. It describes how talented
healer cure cancer in one man Herbs
and hunger. Hence, the body has reserves and forces capable of
treat such a serious and insidious disease like cancer, I thought. For every poison in nature must necessarily be an antidote. On
each disease in the body should be strength, healing her. After
Animals in nature do not have hospitals, clinics and doctors. They
guided by their natural natural instincts. They know better than any herbalists, some grass at the moment
they need, or just beginning to starve. since then I have
more interested in natural ways of healing. I became
read books about fasting, hypnosis, herbs, acupuncture. I'm
more began to understand: a man - a natural pharmacy, it has
All for the treatment of any disease, it is only necessary to their work, patience,
will open and force those natural medicines in
the benefit of the organism. My decision to enroll in medical school was aware, but I
knew that I would be interested to sit in the clinic and to appoint
tablets. I have to find a specialty and to obtain such knowledge,
by which my future patients would be able to use
its huge hidden opportunities to treat diseases. On
fourth year, I got on supervision of patients with bronchial
asthma. When I went to her house, I saw a blooming woman
with a pink blush on the face and sparkling eyes. On asthma
it is quite a hike. I've wanted to apologize and say,
that mixed ward, but then again asked her name,
name. It turned out - that's exactly it. "You do not be surprised -
she said - that I do not like people with asthma, because I was
twenty-day course of fasting, and now I'm at the exit
from starvation. After the tenth day of fasting I have absolutely
seizures stopped and I stopped using an inhaler. " Her
4
4view, her breath very impressed me. It's one thing to read books
of starvation, and another thing - to see in practice the results of famine. After that, I definitely decided that necessarily know all about this
wonderful technique and be sure to get to specialize in it. Best of all, at the time of limotherapy wrote Professor
YS Nikolaev. His book is written with such enthusiasm and faith
in this natural natural method, that after reading it so
and want to starve. Me starve the entire group. We started
fasting on juices, then tried on the water. Of course, then
Most of my group is all abandoned. I liked it
starve before exams - after fasting head becomes
light, clear, memory is very much improved, and most importantly - by
exams went without any disturbances. After graduating from medical institute I have distributed to the resort
"Goryachinsk", which was located in the Republic of Buryatia on the shore
sacred Lake Baikal. Nature and beauty of these places have bewitched
me, especially energy and severity of Lake Baikal. While working at the resort,
I was fortunate to meet a very interesting person
- Verbulem Vladimir Romanovich. He was a hard
bronchial asthma, it is the first in Buryatia in the home
conditions of hungry twenty-four days. His staff at work
were amazed at the result of fasting, which they
saw. Together, they decided to invite a professor of Buryatia
YS Nikolaev. When the professor came to the republic, they brought
it to us at the resort Goryachinsk. Here and there was my meeting with this
amazing man. Yuri Sergeyevich liked our
resort and nature. He said: "You have the perfect place on Lake Baikal
and conditions for fasting. " He invited
me to come to Moscow to study at an office of RDT (fasting-
dietary therapy). After studying in Moscow, we have opened branch
RTD is hosting at the resort. Of course, it was hard for me to start - our
the staff was skeptical about the starvation and me even for the eyes
called the "hungry doctor." I remember when my first patient
came into the dining room on their way out of starvation, the nutritionist brought
cold salted millet porridge and said "on, eat", he certainly
remember all my advice and waited for me. And if he ate this
cereal? But then, our team, seeing the good results of medical
starvation, was an entirely different attitude to this method, and
Some even took a course of starvation. After two years alone, I was lucky to go yet
time to specialize in RTD in St. Petersburg to Professor
Coconut Alexey. There I first learned about the absolute
(Dry), fasting and its application in the treatment of diseases. I
were patients undergoing wet starvation, and during
of starvation all the symptoms disappeared, but the output
from starvation of the symptoms returned. For me it was
unpleasant moments. I really thought long, how to strengthen
5
5effectiveness of starvation, while, of course, aware that the
longer period of starvation, the better the result, but, unfortunately,
a time when our treatment has been paid, and not every
could afford to take a serious course of fasting. How could strengthen
effect of starvation in the spa environment? Output I
prompted by my dog ? ? (more detail in Chapter SLG in nature). After
order as it knocked down a motorcycle, she refused, not only from food but also on
water. Seven days later she was lying in a dark shed, and only the eighth
Day began to drink and then eat. I thought - this injury is likely to
edema, she instinctively felt that way, and therefore refused to water
it and saved it. Here, unfortunately, after the fishing I fell through the ice
and had to go on a motorcycle and twenty kilometers. Accordingly,
all was frozen to the bone. All right, but then I got
Acute sinusitis (inflammation of the frontal sinus). The pain was hell when
tilted head down, even tears flowed from the pain. My reasoning - such
pain due primarily to edema, no water - no swelling. Of course,
in such a situation, I think no one would have the appetite. Decided -
'll starve without water until the pain will not pass. Only by the fifth day
I went through all the symptoms of the disease, and to date it
I no longer worried. This was my first dry starvation -
Of course, on Lake Baikal to me it was easy to pass it, the more experience
wet hunger I had. But most of all I was struck by treatment
effect obtained in such a short period of time. I have starved patients
and sinusitis, and frontitom, but therapeutic result comes only
after the tenth day of wet-fast. Here they come for treatment came a guy with chronic prostatitis
- I have it already passed fourteen wet starvation. Following the starvation, he was easy but aggravation
still happened. My reasoning: in principle, prostatitis - a
infectious process, any infection like multiply
in water, in any infectious process will be present
edema. The guy was very serious about treatment, and my argument
and beliefs about dry fasting it very much. He
took five days of dry fasting and five days of wet. Exactly
A year later he again came and said that more water-hungry, he
will not, he really liked the effect of dry fasting, said
that exacerbations of this year was not yet. He went seven days of dry
starvation. Often called me and was very pleased with the result. Of course, I'm still afraid to spend the dry fasting for more than seven
days. But I've always been lucky in life interesting, unique people. For family reasons I had to go back to the Altai,
there I was offered a job at the medical center, where they spent
limotherapy. I was sent from Ulan-Ude, the invitation to
medical conference on the RTD. There were doctors who practice
limotherapy, from all over Russia. There I was able to meet
with one of the founders of dry fasting, a professor of folk
Medicine, LA Shchennikova. He spent lasted ten
6
6dry fasting for patients in person he was twenty-
day-long fasting. After the conference, he invited me
to itself in Kislovodsk. There I met with his patients and examined
in practice his method. Of course, his method is very effective, but
get it right for the average unskilled, untrained
man is very, very difficult. After the arrival of Kislovodsk myself
held nine days of dry fasting. Part I walked home and then
went to the Altai Mountains on Lake Teletskoe there, I realized that a serious
dry starvation can take place only on the nature and preferably in the mountains
and near mountain streams. After that I went through a ten-day dry hunger
but only in the Altai Mountains, and all the hunger, we were riding
in the campaign. Given all the advantages and disadvantages of different methods
dry fasting and his experience, now we are dry
fractional starvation (in more detail about it in the book). For seventeen years I have been doing therapeutic starvation. Through
my hands were hundreds of patients. There were very good results,
but it was such, when hunger therapy is failing
effect. I often call, write or simply ask, why
start and how to make from a medical dry fasting was
maximum effect. Now with the development of the Internet and it became
appear about dry fasting. Of course, the information
there are very controversial: some write that after two days of dry
fasting cure cancer, others - that first we must take fifteen
days of dry starvation. I think it wrong, and neither those nor the other. Dry
starvation, in my experience - one of the most effective
methods among all kinds of fasting, but if not properly prepare
and applying it is fraught with serious complications. in principle,
and other methods. Now described many cases of people dying from
trite cosmetic surgery or the misuse of
Poisonous plants. The most offensive, that for this method of grasping, as for
straw at the last moment, when completed all other
methods of treatment and lost time. But, as I always tell my
patients, all must be done in time. This method, like all others, has
its limits, indications and contraindications. Of course, in the treatment of
any disease in the initial stages it has no equal. There is
a lot of horror stories and myths about the dangers of a very large dry fasting. I
did not want to belittle the role of fasting and other forms of treatment. But I believe that every person must be complete, truthful
information and choice. But if someone decided to do their own
his rehabilitation with the help of medical dry fasting,
it must do so competently, to really get
maximum therapeutic effect and to use every opportunity
this technique. My book is intended for those people
and written with a view to providing the most complete and most
reliable information, based on the results of my long
practice and supported by reviews of my patients. Remember:
a man can endure all knowing why or for what he is doing! 7

A man burdened with knowledge of modern civilization on the external

especially Russians, is hard to say. And as a result of huge damage
health. From drugs is no use - why not? There. Pay

America as doctors - some of the richest people. Profit

enormous harm. and not only to themselves. Future children, second and third
generations of Russians. Scientific medicine so strongly associated with chemistry,
scalpel, the plant itself in an impasse. There is a saying: "What
does not kill us, makes us stronger. " I have a feeling that
goal of medicine, especially of Pharmacology - to engage in training
and the strengthening of viruses, bacteria and cancer cells, as before,
only when penicillin appeared, it was fantastic medicine. Probably not many of you know, that were treated with penicillin
many diseases, including hypertension. But he admitted

There is generation of antibiotics and the infection becomes

No, because in the recovery process it is completely passive. This happens in most cases, so it seems to me that
drugs and medicines - is not a method of treatment, and a method that
gives a person the opportunity - the time required him to
find the strength and means to raise the internal forces of the body. I do not
against drugs and I believe that humanity has made in this very
much, but medication should be used only in acute cases,
when it is really necessary. The most important thing - to mobilize
8
8internal reserves of the body to every cell, every organ,
every molecule, every atom of the body were so strong
and harmonious, to bacteria, viruses, toxins were afraid of them. Never
yet mankind goes so far from nature, does not violate the so-
roughly its laws, as now. The first punishment for it - a lot
disease and a rapidly growing feebleness, turning into a deep
degeneration, even the extinction of the human race. Treasury science
blame everything on the plague and all the power forwards in the fight against harmful
microbes, but it only prevents us from understanding the root cause
evil. Nature is not mistaken, there is nothing superfluous. Microbes
always existed and do not interfere with live and develop any
animals or humans. Rather, even helped, as healthy
body, they are absolutely not harmful, and their production is only
that turneth away from natural life. Time to understand that it is not
in microbes, but in our own vices, and against the direct
all efforts. In today's highly toxic environment, the average man to 40 years
- Is intrinsically ill man who for at least one-third
its weight is made up of toxins, that is, salts, poisons dumped
wise inert in the body tissue of the body, mainly
in adipose tissue. The human body - is an amazing mechanism
which protects against toxins your most important organs - the brain
and heart. How? The main way in which the body gets rid
from toxic products - toxins, is to neutralize their
in the liver and excretion by the kidneys. Water-soluble toxins are derived
the kidneys, and fat-soluble bile (a substance
bilirubin) in the intestine and then out with the feces. For other
Substances mechanisms of excretion of the lung
(CO2) and the important role played by the skin. However, the amount of toxins
in the environment of modern civilization than all
permissible norms by hundreds and thousands of targets. Due
This body can not cope with the avalanche of modern toxins,
breaking on the body (I almost said - the man, but
in modern life, this applies to animals). Everyone can
observe dead pigeons on city streets. People - the same patients

the same diseases of civilization, as humans. Where does the excess
toxins? Excess toxins wise body "carries a landfill for
town "that is lays inert, peripheral tissues,
lesion which bears no direct threat to life. These tissues is adipose tissue, the largest number of
which is located subcutaneously and in the retroperitoneal space along the
spine, causing a big belly in men and sediment
fat in the pelvis and hips in women, as well as salt deposits
toxins in the osteo-ligamentous, locomotor. Deposits
toxins in the form of calcium salts in the motor unit causing
notorious osteochondrosis. 9
9Over the years - by the age of forty - the "graveyard" of salts of toxins in the tissue
and ligaments are already extremely full, and then the process of deposition
salts, toxins goes to the vital organs in which
gradually begin to accumulate pathological (painful)
changes. The first well-known example: atherosclerosis,
which basically has the same degenerative origin, that
and osteochondrosis of the ligaments and joints, but there is a vital
transport vessels, narrowing their lumen and disrupting circulation
vital organs. And this is the reason that
cardiovascular heart disease and brain - angina and stroke
- Are the first and the second cause of death for all
including those not elderly. The cause of the major killers of our time are the heart
cardiovascular disease and cancer, which also has major
samointoksikatsii cause in the body. There have been various theories
cancer: infectious and genetic. But forget to pay
attention to the fact that a hundred years ago, when the environment was not so
toxic, cancer, as well as cardiovascular disease, was
a rare disease, but now he is the third death
place. Which part of the most polluted environment? Air. and lung cancer in the world comes first among the cancers. Interestingly, of the cancers of digestive system in the first place
U.S. colon cancer. And in Russia? in Russia in the first place
cancer of the stomach and duodenum. How can
interpret these data? It is obvious that in Russia the most
the cancer has spread at the entrance to the digestive system and in the U.S.
output. What is infectious or genetic theory is
explain? It is obvious that this is due to dietary
population of both countries. It can be assumed that the Americans
food is more malignant in terms of chronic, that is, providing
its malignant effect by the end of the digestive tract,
and in Russia, food is more cancerous in the acute term, ie
exerts its malignant effect directly and immediately
if it enters the stomach. Perhaps this is due to the peculiarities
nutrition of the population of Russia, namely alcoholism and
communication with the northern climate, lack of fiber
food, lack of fresh fruits and vegetables and the prevalence of
consumption of cooked food starch, corn, potatoes and sausage
products consisting of relatively malignant components. in the U.S. because of their northern border is located at a latitude of our
Crimea, low-quality vegetables and fruits are present throughout the
year, but they consume a lot of hormones into the meat and dairy
products and pesticides, and food prepared from
semis, will be accurate to say that Americans are eating out
boxes and bottles. In the U.S., according to statistics, prostate cancer and breast cancer

men and women, respectively. This is due to the consumption of
Hormonal meat and dairy products. How did they live at the same time? Constantly take toxic cytotoxic drugs
and live. What kind of life at the same time? You understand what a life. The body of this category of people severely intoxicated. It represents
a kind of a slop bucket inside which the particles are stored
dead cells and protein mass (it littered with intercellular
space and literally stuffed sometimes lymph
vessels). This "garbage" interferes with the normal functioning
body, interferes with "communication" of cells with each other, reducing the force
electrical signals transmitted by cells to each other. from the point
view naturopathic body of people (again, that we
talking about the majority of the population) is in the so-called third
state. This means that these people are not visibly ill,
however healthy they also did not name. This category
primarily exposed to colds, flu and various other
Diseases. This happens because the body is not littered
resist disease, and, conversely, takes her with
open arms, seeing microbes as liberators, which can be
feed your trash. Conclusion? If you do not want to get into the characteristic statistics
Modern mortality, then you should take
additional and conscious effort to cleanse the body
of constantly accumulating toxins. However, this name
has a technical connotation and therefore does not reflect the tragedy of
consequences associated with defeat slags vital
bodies. Organism - it is not just a pan in which the deferred
some neutral slags - an organism fatally damaged
these slags. Therefore, here to speak about chronic
poisoning of food, household and industrial toxins,
ie, toxins that are medically called chronic
toxemia. Strictly speaking, the main issue is not so much increased
concentrations of toxins in the blood, and increased concentration
toxins in tissues and organs and as a consequence of their rising
damage that would be more correct to call toksikogistiey,
because the root "GIST" means "cloth". It was a very interesting survey conducted in Yekaterinburg:
exposed hair 24 Uralians spectral analysis and found
in the body Hg, Li, Cr in toxic concentrations. Absolutely
certain that these elements are carcinogenic, so do not
be surprised that we are sick with cancer. The most radical and, consequently, the most effective
way to clean toxins from the chronic - is a therapeutic fasting,
natural way to cleanse the body from accumulating
harmful substances. It is useful in terms of mental, spiritual
and physical cleansing. The emergence of medical
11
11fasting is rooted in antiquity. Please
note - no animal when it gets sick, will not eat. Unfortunately, people act differently, not realizing that the lack of
appetite during illness said that to combat it come
body's defenses. Such is the reaction of the organism to
disease. Loss of appetite during illness - this is the inclusion of the fight
the body's defenses. If the temperature rises, so
is mobilization of the body. Of the thousand-year experience
After numerous experiments and careful clinical
study, it became clear that limotherapy (now
it is more commonly referred to by RDT - fasting-diet therapy)
- Sole therapeutic agent. It promotes
radical cleansing and all that purifies - heals. By
speed and effectiveness of getting rid of various ailments method
has no equal, especially when the drug treatment of one
disease exacerbates the other. Or when the patient's intolerance
medicines. We can say that any kind of fasting
benefit, since in this period in an organism occurs
a cleansing of toxic contamination and provides
rest of the central nervous system and digestive organs. When you starve vital energy performs cleaning
work in your body. The organism is self-cleaning, samolechitsya
and self-healing. When you stop eating, your
organism there are wonderful things! If you want to support
the body clean, you have to starve! Try to starve
a few times - you feel that never before felt:
internal cleansing, which leads you to health! Live not aging
impossible, but to extend years of active longevity may be even
in environmental change. Fasting serves two functions. First - prevention:
fasting for about three days the body goes
powered by internal reserves (endogenous feeding). When
This destroyed alien (bacteria and viruses), bad
and abnormal structures at the cellular level. Second - medical:
Fasting allows for deep cleansing of all organs,
with the existing pathology (including embryos of tumors)
during the endogenous nutrition destroyed. All organs lose
in weight. Their recovery is in the process of the correct
clinical nutrition in the recovery period, the duration
which is approximately equal to the duration of fasting. For this
period all the organs as if growing again - but in an updated,
Health Video. Differences between the method of fasting from other methods
recovery
1. It can help in cases of severe chronic diseases,
when no help is no medication. 2. There is no risk, will cure one disease to cause another
12
12as it happens sometimes in the treatment of medication. On the contrary,
providing health-building effect, limotherapy
tidies the whole system of human body. About
Methods of total (wet) starvation written a lot of literature. But this book is devoted to one of the most effective methods
RTD - absolutely dry fasting, which is held without food
and water. Absolute dry fasting reveals new colossal
spare capacity purification of the body and enhance immunity
rights given to him by nature. This is a natural,
versatile and very effective way of cleansing, healing
and rejuvenation of all living beings. DRY Fasting in Nature

running away from home for various reasons, for a long time. Come
home very skinny and hungry, it was fasting with water. But
Once he was hit drunken motorcyclist, when I examined him, he was
in poor condition, but most interesting is that he crawled into the dark
a barn and refused food and water. Any injury - is primarily
edema, and he instinctively felt it. Seven days he neither ate nor
and drank only on the eighth day was eat and drink water. He fully
recovered. So when respected nutritionists talk about the terrible
the dangers of dry fasting, I always tell my patients that if
it was harmful, the nature of time evolution would long ago have cleaned and
use the mechanisms of dry fasting. When I wrote this chapter, I
had to revise and read a lot of literature and information
to show that the absolute (anhydrous starvation) - this is not
fiction adventurers and charlatans, and the natural universal
natural mechanism that helps to survive under unfavorable
conditions or diseases. during the life of every living
13
13the body is constantly exposed to adverse
factors - both external and internal. The result of this
becomes intoxication - poisoning organism harmful
materials coming both from without and the power
inside the body. Toxins from the outside come into our
body through breathing, skin, along with food and water. Inside
toxins are produced as a byproduct of any
life processes: cells divide, the old die, and if
they do not show, will poison the body, with any physical
loads, there is a destruction of muscle fibers, and any
stress, and any normal working of the mind and imagination run
in the body complex biochemical processes during the flow
that "waste material" also turns into toxins
which should be removed from the body. Nature has blessed all
beings remarkable mechanism, reported,
that the body needs to be cleaned of toxins. With the accumulation of
in the body of toxins a person (and any living creature) covers
drowsiness, fatigue sets in, and the body signals that
that he needed sleep. That dream carried the main
detoxification of the body - the release of toxins which have accumulated
per day, or enrolled in an organism, for example, the reception
poisoning of food or alcoholic beverages, followed by sleep
can literally knock you. The same thing could happen after
taking certain medications that cause drowsiness, or
sleeping pills that cause is not a harmless dream, and to
actually harass you, and a very sophisticated manner. Need
understand that if after a meal, you feel very sleepy, so
Your food was unfit for consumption. Therefore, each of
We are constantly faced with the partial dry hunger and hibernation
during sleep. During this organism and does its healing work. in every cell of living matter genetically incorporated mechanisms
living without food and water. in nature, there are two kinds of fasting. First - it's wet fasting when the animal can move
in this case it is drinking water and looking for food, but in severe
illnesses or injuries, it hides in a secluded place, where it
protected from the weather and is located in warm, calm and quiet and where
no one was alarmed. There it rests, and fast without water. It
may, for example, have lost limbs (or wing) to recover
without dressings and surgical operations. in the lives of animals dry
Fasting is an extremely important factor in life. Animals are starving not only when sick or injured, but
and during the winter or summer hibernation (in tropical climates). Some animals are starving before the birth of offspring, often - and in
during his feeding. For example, some birds are starving in
clearing time chicks. Other animals are starving as soon as
birth. Animals also were forced to starve during a drought
and survive, although over a long period can not get any
14
14food and water. One of the varieties of dry starvation in nature
is a condition called hibernation. Cryostasis (Greek anabnfsis - "recovery" from ana - «again and bnos -
"Life") - the state of the organism in which life processes
(Metabolism, etc.) are suspended or are so
slowed, which lacks all visible manifestations of life. Anabiosis
observed a sharp deterioration in living conditions of some
(Low temperature, lack of moisture, etc.) in organisms facing
at different stages of development, upon the occurrence of favorable
conditions are restored the normal level of life
processes - recovery. Thus, suspended animation - biological
adaptation of an organism to adverse external conditions,
developed in the course of evolution. In the case of dehydration, the protoplasm of cells (live
protein) from the state of hydrosol (liquid aspic) becomes
in the state of the hydrogel (such as dry gelatin) and long
time retains the possibility of reverse transition upon the occurrence of
favorable environmental conditions. Once these conditions
created, protoplasm absorbs water - swells, leading
to restore the life processes. Why in the nature of many animal and plant organisms
fall into a different state of suspended animation? The winter season is unfavorable for many in the world
Animals and plants both because of the low temperature, and on
because of drastic reduction of opportunities for food. during
evolutionary development of many species of animals and plants
acquired a kind of adaptive mechanisms to
survive the adverse season. in some species of animals
emerged and established itself instinct to stockpile food, other
developed a different adaptation - migration. Known
remarkably long flights of many birds, migration
some fish species and other members of the animal world. However, in the process of evolution in many animal species observed
and the other a perfect physiological mechanism of adaptation
- The ability to fall into a lifeless at first glance, the state
which in various animal species are manifested in different ways and has
different names (suspended animation, hibernation, hypothermia, etc.). Meanwhile, all these conditions are characterized by inhibition
the function of vital activity to the minimum that
allows him to survive the adverse winter conditions without taking
food and water. in this state of apparent death flow into those
Animals that are unable to provide themselves with food during the winter
and for them there is a risk of death from cold and hunger. and all this
developed in the course of evolution, is subject to severe natural
expediency - the need to preserve the appearance. Hibernation - a widespread phenomenon in nature,
despite the fact that its manifestations are different from the representatives of individual
15
15groups of animals, whether animals with unstable temperature
body (poikilothermic), is also called cold-blooded,
whose body temperature depends on ambient temperature, or
animals with a constant temperature, known as warm-blooded. Among the animals with unstable body temperature in the state
hibernation fall various types of mollusks, crustaceans,
arachnids, insects, fish, amphibians and reptiles, and
of the animals with constant body temperature - a few species of birds
and many species of mammals. In this chapter I have tried to collect
the most interesting facts that exist in nature, as living
beings to adapt to adverse conditions and what

Cold blood is not warm. Who is not given to support the body temperature in winter is one -
freeze, sleep, petrify, to wait out unfavorable conditions
life. That is what all the cold-blooded: molluscs, crustaceans,
spiders, insects, fish, amphibians and reptiles. When
the onset of winter, they hibernate, called Kholodov
stupor. At most, what they can do - take care
Asylum, where the temperature did not drop to below 0 ° C. otherwise
If cells are irreversibly injured tissue formed
the freezing of ice crystals. Crayfish, completely unaware of
the kind of strong reaction in people cause their peaceful winter
rookery, burrow into the mud at the bottom of ponds. Males usually hibernate
groups in the deep wells at the bottom, while females - one at a time in burrows. True, this loneliness will not name because of their short
legs of females bonded with 50 to 500 pieces of fertilized eggs
of which hatch in early summer, crustaceans the size of an ant. If the sludge is frozen, crawfish do not perish and come to life during thawing. Not
they fear and a long stay without water, gradually replacing
it in the gills of the air with a characteristic sound (which is why they say that
out of water crayfish whisper, as if saying goodbye to each other). There in the mud spend the winter water snail Lymnaea stagnalis. Land
snails after the accumulation of essential nutrients
dig burrows, where several wintering could together
"Nap" deep underground at a temperature of 7-8 ° C. Well
cork shelter, they descend to the bottom of the hole and lie
shell up, which, however, also delayed the mucous
substance. With a significant cold snap snails burrow more
deeper, forming a new film and airbags, which play a role
excellent insulator. All metabolic processes are dramatically during
month decay to reach the minimum at which
animal runs almost in a state of suspended animation with subtle
vital functions. and so from October until early April. 16
16Insect attack of the winter season catches at different stages of their 
development: in the form of eggs, larvae, pupae or adults. Each 
form has developed its own approach - at what stage is better to "sleep off". For example, the ladybird and the anopheles mosquito overwinter only in the 
adulthood, and aphids - in the eggshell. But there are those 
that any form of hibernation for good. That's at least home 
flies - they spend the winter in the form of larvae and pupae in the form (in warm 
dung piles) and in adulthood. Duration of sleep 
also different: the butterfly peacock eyes in a state of suspended animation 
five and a half months at a temperature of about 6 ° C, and mulberry 
moth to a month longer at 8,6 ° C. 
Ever since the first signs of cooling off insects 
find it convenient to shelter under rocks, bark of trees, fallen 
foliage, in soil, where after a snowfall remains moderately 
low and uniform temperature. At 0 ° C metabolism of these 
slows to a crawl: respiration is suppressed, the rate of oxidation 
processes is reduced by 10-15 times. To survive such wintering 
preceded by some preparation: accumulate stocks 
fat (they go up to 18% of body weight), the body as much as possible 
dehydrated (larva Galician water content drops from 65 to 
20%). Some species of insects capable of carrying very low 
temperature, such as the meadow moth caterpillars, which 
keep the spark of life to minus 30 ° C! But this is the exception rather 
and not everyone is on the shoulder. Bees, for example, do not fall 
into a prolonged hibernation, the stock of accumulated fat does not exceed 
1,5-2%. Still, at temperatures from 0 to 6 ° C otsepenevayut in this 
state may be 7-8 days. At lower temperatures 
they die. Unfortunately for many lower animals, nature does not 
provided them with tracking mechanism, and a poor choice 
wintering numbness often goes into its logical 
continued. Strangeness of the black fish. Peculiar reaction to a sudden drop in temperature 
water, some species of fish - they fall into a state of shock. After 
brief excitement phase cease to breathe, swim and look 
as dead. Enough, however, that the water warmed, and they quickly 
alive. Detrimental to fish was cooling, resulting in 
to the formation of blood and tissues of ice crystals, damaging 
walls of blood vessels. Back to life, they can only 
in that case, if the freeze applied only to 
superficial tissues. When the fish some time living from 
supply of oxygen in the swim bladder (the assumption that 
frozen fish breathe with gills, it was insolvent). One of the most adapted to a cold fish - the so-called black 
Fish - lives in rivers, lakes and peat bogs of Alaska and Chukotka. Severe climate allows her to recover for a short summer 
period, which she uses for breeding. The rest of the

17, the fish and freeze in burrow into the mud. If the temperature of liquid 
the body does not fall below - 0,3 ° C, with slow thawing, they 
alive. If the blood is frozen - fish die. Local people 
uses the fish as food for dogs. They say that if the dog 
swallow whole frozen fish, then shortly after that she 
Defrosting in the stomach and begins to irritate his wall. in such cases, the dog usually burps fish, and if she gets 
in water, then immediately floats serenely. From freshwater fishes in November in hibernation fall 
Carp, ruff, perch, catfish and others. When water temperature drops below 
8-10 ° C, these fish move to deeper parts of the reservoir, the so- 
called wintering holes, buried in large groups 
in the mud and remain in a state of torpor throughout the winter. this time in the carp heart rate slows down instead of the normal 
25-30 beats per minute to 2-3, and his breath - up to 3-4 breaths per minute. An interesting device has a sturgeon, starlet and beluga - 
their bodies upon the occurrence of extreme cold enveloped with mucus, 
protecting from adverse effects of environmental 
environment, and they fall into hibernation. Some species 
herbivorous fish (grass carp, silver carp) are also over-winter 
groups covered by a thick layer of mucus. Part of the marine fish, too 
tolerate severe frosts in a dream state. Herring in the autumn 
close to the coast of the Arctic Ocean, to sleep on 
the bottom of a small creek. Even the Black Sea anchovy 
moves to the southern regions - Georgian coast and the adjacent coast 
Asia Minor, at which time the fish is weakly active, and food does not use. Salamander from the eternal ice. Amphibians are prepared in advance for winter, summer accumulating 
nutrient stores. And in the fall with a decrease in daytime 
temperature to 8-12 ° C, and night to 3-5 ° C are sent to places 
next winter, sometimes breaking a few miles. One 
Most of them overwinter under water, the other - on land. Under water winter 
lake, grass, quick, long-legged frog. Going 
groups of 10-20 eggs (sometimes up to 100) of different sex and age as well 
sometimes even different species, and buried in mud or submerged hollow. With such a group wintering level of metabolism in frogs almost 
40% lower than in the wintering alone. During hibernation 
frogs breathe only through the skin, heart rate slows, but still, even though 
and extremely slowly, amphibians grow and their sex cells 
ripen. And dream they have shallow, and under adverse 
conditions, they may move to another place in the same pond. The main thing is to happen on time, because the most significant 
danger for them lies in the lack of oxygen. For very severe 
winters happens even mass mortality of amphibians, especially when 
ponds in which they overwinter, freeze to the bottom. Therefore, 
they prefer fast flowing rivers and creeks, streams, canals 
and lakes with rivers flowing into them, that is, choose water, 
18 
18oxygen-rich. during hibernation in amphibians sharply 
increases the diameter of blood vessels in the skin, through which 
they breathe. On land, spend the winter green and gray toad, common 
tree frog, spadefoot toad, yellow-bellied Bombina bombina, salamanders. They 
hibernate in large groups at the foot of the cliffs, in crevices of rocks 
and among tree roots, in holes dug by other animals, 
under a thick layer of leaves and moss. Some species are even capable of 
burrowing into the ground. Newts different species overwinter on land and under water. The first 
usually arranged under rotten stumps and fallen tree trunks 
trees, and if you do not find such comfortable apartments, is being met 
cracks in the soil. Of particular interest are the Siberian 
Triton - salamander inhabiting the vast territory of the Kamchatka 
and Sakhalin Island to the Urals. This is the only caudate amphibian 
north of the Arctic Circle. Even at 0 ° C, it can still move, 
and some individual whales salamander tolerate cooling 
(Of course, in a state of torpor) to -37 ° C. Geologists and builders 
newts were found, frozen into ice blocks excavated. Often 
happened that thawed and put into heated water newts 
revived, ate the food offered to them - flies, spiders, aquarium 
fishes. In 1956 a team of mining in Magadan 
the area found a 14-meter depth newt. When we returned 
in a tent and light the fire, the animal gradually thawed frozen 
and stirred. His life went on as long as 12 hours. At the same time 
hastened to declare this event a great sensation: the alleged 
found fossil newt, which, having been in a state of suspended animation 
two million years, back to life. In fact, Newt was not 
fossil and modern. But the question is how long can 
save the life of the frozen amphibians, remains controversial. Found in another time in Chukotka in a piece of eternal ice of the Siberian 
salamander was subjected to radioisotope investigations. Kiev 
scientists have concluded that his age is between 75 
up to 105 years, while the reptiles were in control 
many times younger. Almost all species of reptiles in northern latitudes fall 
winter hibernation. in most northern areas, it extends 7.8 
months. South of their sleep is shorter. Lizards burrow into the soil, 
arranging themselves burrows on steep dry slopes, which does not threaten 
flood. in a good sunny day they wake up in the 
few hours to bask in the sun and the hunt again 
hiding, falling into a stupor. Land turtles climb on 
half a meter deep into the soil in the natural cover or burrows of moles, 
foxes, rodents, closing with peat moss and wet leaves. Sometimes they wake up sometimes for a week. Marsh 
turtles spend the winter buried in mud ponds. Snakes do not like 
cold. Even in summer, if you put a snake for a few hours 
19 
19in the refrigerator, it can be treated as a piece of rope. Therefore, 
winter quarters and carefully picked up the snake oblyubovyvayut 
long. Usually it is the underground caves and cavities formed 
around a large old tree stumps with rotten roots, or a gap in the rocks. in such shelters is going to a large number of snakes, even different 
species, forming huge balls. they sometimes are between 
several tens to hundreds of snakes, which led to the erroneous 
belief that snakes are going into the coils to warm up. Between 
so the temperature of snakes during hibernation is not very different 
ambient temperature, and gather them together 
simply from a lack of suitable shelters - some of the "community" 
used for decades. How do animals manage to survive 
frozen? Just as in the onset of cold weather 
machines are added to the radiator coolant, freezing at minus 
37 ° C in the body fluids of some cold-winter form 
Antifreeze proteins, which appear in the body when the crystals 
ice contact them and block further crystallization 
water. in many fish, terrestrial arthropods, including spiders 
and mites, the effectiveness of antifreeze proteins is so great 
that prevents ice formation even at minus 15 ° C. Except 
specific proteins in the body of some cold-blooded 
beings produced more and carbohydrates, antifreeze, more 
Mitigating the point of maximum exposure. For example, 
in the tissues of many insects, winter stored carbohydrate antifreeze 
glycerol, successfully preventing freezing. caterpillars 
galloobrazuyuschey butterfly to the middle of winter, glycerol 19% 
the whole body, allowing the supercool down to minus 30 ° C. A hairy 
Arctic butterfly caterpillars in the frozen state 
spend up to 10 months a year at minus 50 ° C and more! Originally 
adapted to low temperatures, water, some fish 
living in the North Atlantic and Arctic 
waters - they are changing the composition of the blood. with decreasing temperature 
water fall in their blood accumulate salt in a concentration 
which is typical for sea water, which enhances cryoprotective 
action, making it difficult to freeze the blood. Relatively recently 
in the blood of these fish are found and special antifreeze proteins, 
lowering the freezing point of solution to an even greater extent, 
than salt. If you have a very harsh winter in, the fall in cold-blooded 
animals (particularly insects) before the first frost in the body 
accumulate protecting ice cryogenic protectors 
which increase the strength of cell membranes and inhibit both 
called osmotic stress, when water from the cells tends 
leak into the extracellular medium with ice, reducing the amount of cells 
and making them vulnerable to ice crystals that pierce the shrunken 
cell membranes. Cryoprotectants are moderated, and exchange 
20 
20substances. the frog, for example, has just begun the formation of ice 
on the surface of the skin, a rapid synthesis of cryoprotectant 
of glucose from liver glycogen. resulting in eight 
hours it saturated all the organs, slowing down to a minimum exchange 
substances, limited power consumption. Record of such 
use of cryoprotectants owned turtles - they 
metabolism drops to a level that ensures the survival without 
oxygen consumption (!) throughout the winter. Moreover, at high 
concentrations of glucose in the body are no phenomena inherent 
a person with a high content of glucose in the blood - diabetes 
and aging. Frost resistance is always cold-blooded animals 
aroused keen interest of scientists. In anabiotic state fall and some species of higher 
plants. Record in this respect, the plant belongs bronets, 
appearing before the prairies of the American continent. Put 
in the herbarium, this plant has sustained more than 11 years in the dried 
state without losing its vitality. Inevitably arises 
question: What helps plants endure severe dehydration 
and fall into a state of suspended animation in which metabolism proceeds 
so slowly that practically almost zero? By 
According to scientists, with dehydration in plants that can fall 
anabiotic in the state is not disrupted the process of respiration, which 
maintains its so-called energy usefulness. When dehydration in plants continue to be produced rich 
energy compounds such as ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Energy 
formed in the process of respiration to almost complete drying 
these plants is transferred almost all cellular structures and all 
cellular content, which is dehydrating, passes 
a jelly-like state, and the cells can for years to maintain its 
viability. WHETHER there are BIRDS, ВПАДА ЮЩИЕ in HIBERNATION? Thus, we found that most of the animals with unstable 
body temperature, which depends on the environmental flow 
in a state of hibernation. But it is surprising that so many animals 
with a constant body temperature, such as birds, can also 
fall into hibernation during adverse seasons. It is known that most birds avoid adverse winter 
conditions through the flight. It became clear that some species of birds 
may fall into such a state in bad seasons 
year. There are observations that some species of swallows 
(Village and rocky) also fall into winter hibernation. State of short-term torpor, which scientists call 
torpid, was observed in newly hatched chicks 
Swifts, which flow into this state when parents 
leave them for several days under adverse conditions 
(For example, during the approaching cyclone). able 
21 
21torpor body temperature of chicks from 39 ° C dropped to 20 ° C 
and even lower heart rate and breathing slows down, and in this state 
They were kept 7-12 days. Reappearing, parents warmed 
their own bodies, and the chicks are returned to life. in favorable 
time, young swifts flew from the nest after 33-35 days, and 
at a disadvantage when they fell into a stupor, they 
were needed 40-50 days. Has long been known that in such a torpid state flow 
and chicks of some species of hummingbirds, if the mother will fly for food 
delayed by more than ten minutes (the only female hummingbirds 
feeding offspring). After her return, warmed 
maternal warmth, they come back to life. Established that 
adults of several hummingbird species in the Americas 
continent are also able to fall into a state of torpor 
in a particularly cold nights, when their body temperature drops to 
8,8 ° C. Proved that the weight of the different kinds of hummingbirds ranging from 1,7 to 
19.1 g, and oxygen consumption in small specimens in a state 
rest - 11-16 ml per 1 g body weight per hour during the flight - 70-85 ml, and 
in a state of torpor only 0.17 ml. Energy consumption in hummingbirds 
high, and there is a danger that hummingbird with body temperature 
44 ° C can not survive without food for a period when they sleep, so 
as they do not have enough energy stocks. When such a situation 
their bodies with excessive cooling at night from exhaustion 
lose the opportunity to warm up again early in its active phase. Meanwhile, as you know, night on the South and Central American 
High Plateau, home to hummingbirds, cold. That is why hummingbirds 
possess a protective mechanism - fall night in torpid 
state, the temperature of their bodies compared with the temperature 
environment, so that they do not give up their heat 
and conserve energy, which is not consumed for the formation of heat 
in the body. In this case, the law of the Dutch physiologist 
Van GOFA, reflecting the relationship between the rate of chemical reactions 
processes and temperature (if the body temperature drops to 10 ° C 
metabolic processes begin to occur more slowly in almost 3 times). So 
If the body temperature drops to a hummingbird 44 ° C to 34 ° C, it will 
to a threefold reduction in metabolism and, accordingly, 
to significant energy conservation. Such regulation of body temperature during torpor was 
detected and purple hummingbird, which, like other hummingbirds, 
easily falls into a torpid state. in a state of torpor 
body temperature of this type of hummingbird commonly close to the temperature 
air, but if the latter falls below 18 ° C body temperature birds 
no longer decreases and remains at 18-20 ° C. 
Stupor, in which empty into some kinds of birds, significantly 
differs from hibernation, typical of many mammals. First of all, the body of birds not only stores energy 
reserves in the form of fat, but on the contrary, spends a considerable part of them. 22 
22while mammals fall into hibernation noticeably 
gained weight, the birds before the numbness strongly lose weight. Here 
why the phenomenon of torpor in birds, according to Soviet biologist R. 
Potapov, should not be called hibernation and hypothermia. Until now, the mechanism of hypothermia in birds is not fully understood. Interestingly, all the birds that can fall into a state 
torpor in a systematic respect are among 
are closely related and have similar physiological 
ecological features. Confluence of these birds in the state 
torpor under adverse conditions of life is 
adaptive physiological response, which states 
in the process of evolution. WHAT mammals Falling UT IN WINTER Hibernation? Like those animals, which we described so far, and at 
mammalian hibernation - a biological adaptation 
to experience the adverse season. Although 
that animals with constant body temperature is usually transferred 
cold climate, lack of suitable food in winter 
has led to the gradual acquisition and consolidation in the 
evolution of some of them this peculiar instinct - 
of adverse winter in a dormant state 
hibernation. First thought that hibernation and torpor 
arise as a result of imperfections in thermoregulation 
system of mammals in cold weather, so that 
able to express a certain "primitive" in the organization 
and defects in the mechanisms of physiological control. recently 
time, careful research of many scientists from different countries 
showed that hibernation should not be explained by 
thermoregulation, on the contrary, it is perfectly adjusted 
physiological state. Hibernating mammals 
preceded by certain physiological preparation of the body. It consists primarily in the accumulation of fat, mainly 
way under the skin into the body cavity, the entire length of the intestines, 
in the thoracic region (the brown adipose tissue). some dormant in winter 
mammalian body fat reaches 25% of the total body weight. For example, all kinds of ground squirrels in the early autumn fattening and intensely 
synthesize carbohydrates, increasing the weight of his body three times over 
with the spring-summer weight. a woodchuck weight of subcutaneous and internal fat 
June 10-15, at July - 250-300 g, and in late August - 750 - 
800 Badger accumulate up to several pounds of fat. Large 
reserves of fat accumulated and members of the family of dormice 
- Garden, forest, and murine Oreshnikova. Of the insectivorous 
mammalian hedgehog, preparing for hibernation, gathering in a secluded 
place moss, leaves, hay, and arranges a nest. But moves in with his 
new home only when the temperature is kept for a long time 
23 
23below 10 ° C. Before that he was abundantly supplied to accumulate energy 
in the form of fat. Hedgehog - one of the few animals that are months 
do not interrupt their winter hibernation, when they will not be quiet 
disturbed by strong external stimuli. Bears a preparation for fasting. Before you lie down 
in hibernation, the bears eat a variety of hard and grass roots, 
which not only cleanse their digestive tract, but 
and remaining all winter in the gut, and subjected to processing 
microflora, delivered into the body trace elements and biologically 
active substances. This herbal tube allows the bear after 
end of hibernation painless empty the bowel. popularly 
bearskin cap appreciated and used as a healing 
funds. Just for good-quality sleep, they strongly 
eat mushrooms mushrooms. In nature this summer bear accumulate a thick layer of subcutaneous 
fat, and just before the onset of winter settles 
in his den for hibernation. Usually den covered 
snow, so that the inside is much warmer than outside. During 
Hibernate accumulated fat reserves used by the body 
bear and as a source of nutrients, as well as protect 
the animal from freezing. His body temperature drops, the rhythm beats 
heart and breathing slows to a crawl. Markedly reduced and the exchange of 
substances in connection with which decreases and the flow of nutrients. It is known that sometimes in the warm winter days or in case of danger 
Bear wakes up and even out of their dens, and then falls asleep 
in the same den, or anywhere else. But usually, the return of his 
to normal life takes place in the spring, when it becomes 
warmer and the temperature of his body increases. Longer 
time, usually until late April in their dens delayed 
only females that give birth to there young. in nature, if winter 
quite warm, especially when a brown bear did not accumulate 
sufficient amount of fat, he can not enter 
in hibernation. in some modern zoos, in which 
Bears kept in special rooms with climate 
equipment, providing a constant temperature of 20-25 ° C 
they do not fall asleep. Canadian bear is in hibernation with meat 
flesh that is abhorrent to meat eaters. When he 
comes out of hibernation, its fresh meats and is considered a great delicacy 
among the peoples of the North. Canadian biologists describe the gut a bear 
which only began to winter, and the meat is at the opening 
after exudes a stench that it was "intolerable", and the meat 
"Nauseating, questionable and unfit to eat." the spring bear 
flesh undergoes a miraculous change, that becomes 
"The most coveted of all the northern food." By this time in his 
digestive tract is very little waste, and "gut without 
smell and completely sterile. You can not find any normal flora 
or bacilli. This complete sterilization and release of odors 
24
24digestive tract, along with the acquisition of fresh bear
flesh - all without the intestines bear four or five months,
and in some cases longer, it would be difficult to explain to those who
talking about a very strong self-poisoning during dry fasting. Since being in hibernation the bear has never suffered from
self-poisoning in the longest period of sleep, then we have
recognize the fact that it does not poison no reabsorption of waste
from the colon. Found a system that protects the bones hibernate
bear. The study revealed the existence of brown bears in the system,
which protects the bones of these animals for a long
period of hibernation. At the same time, this study is the source of
inspiration for new treatments for people who suffer from
loss of bone cells due to physical inactivity. Scientists under
Seth Donahue guidance from the Technical University in Houghton,
Michigan, studied the development of the bones of the species Ursus americanus
(American brown bear), which was not observed bone
loss in the period of hibernation, lasting from five to seven
months. Researchers have focused on the expression of five genes,
related to bone metabolism bear. Donahue and his
colleagues found that the formation of bone remains uniform
and may even reach a peak when the bears start again
be active. The study also shows that the bears do not
observed weakening and thinning of the bones, usually appear
with aging. Scientists have found that calcium, present in the bodies
bears, and are a major component of bones, was subjected to
a virtuous cycle by which bones are protected. The task of Donahue and his team - to develop new treatments
bone in humans, comparing the structure of the hormones that are linked
with the formation of bone in humans and bears. Extremely efficient system is not the first time observed
y bears hibernate. In one study,
published in the journal Nature in 2001, the study bears
the same species showed that they had less loss of muscle strength
during hibernation in comparison with other beings. Scientists who
studied bears for over 4 years, estimated that at the end of a five-month
hibernation bears lose only 23% of muscle strength and about 10 -
15% protein. Unlike them, people who spend the same
amount of time in bed, would have lost 85% of muscle strength
and 90% protein. These bears have a foolproof system also generates a large
number of important questions to be answered. Bear
weigh hundreds of kilograms. Bone in the body of a bear, which remains
immobile for months, under pressure of a large
weight, and besides even more weight presses on the muscles, which consist of
25
25more soft tissue than bone in contact with the ground area
body. Impotent patients in hospitals require careful maintenance. Nurses rotate them during the day, allowing the weight
their bodies distributed among the various fields. Thus
they prevent the formation of disease. Care nurses and doctors
for paralyzed patients is likened to a system that is
with bears. Bone cells represent the most effective
the use of calcium metabolism and the bear keeps muscle
loss at lower levels. The study of why the bone
Bears stronger, can lead to the discovery of a method for treating
osteoporosis. Muscle loss is inevitable in people who
starving, and can even be fatal. Stomachs of starving children
swell due to the fact that the muscles in their bodies are torn because of the
no further accumulation of fat and water. But the accumulation of
is not observed in the bodies of bears, and they avoid such a situation,
which can lead to death. Nevertheless, as happens, the bones of bears and muscle
cells can exhibit such complex structures? As these
cells were deprived of opportunities to think, may regulate entry
and output of calcium from their membranes in such a conscious way? As
it turns out that bears are not at risk of losing muscle as
it occurs in people starving, even if they remain without
food for months? Of course, consciousness, the observed
in the cells that do not belong to the molecules that make them. Atoms such as oxygen, carbon and nitrogen, can not know what to
bears, and therefore can not plan. You can see
understanding how the cells belong to the person possessing
superior intelligence. There can be no doubt that this is our
Lord God Almighty, who created the bear and gave them
metabolism to support their health during the period of hibernation. Polar bear comparison with other relatives
living in the most severe weather conditions. With good
fatness it can withstand cold down to minus 40 ° C. Proved that
pregnant and have not reached sexual maturity the females in the winter flow
in a state of hibernation. For this purpose, they dig in the snow
pit and remain there for several months while those born during this time
Bears do not grow up, not enough will get stronger and does not come warm
weather. Males of the polar bear does not fall into a state of hibernation. A team of scientists led by Dr. Ralph Nelson Winter
1977-1978. held at the Rochester clinic, "Mayo" in the state
South Dakota (USA), a series of experiments to study hibernation
American black bear baribala. The researchers put
a goal: to find out how this kind of bear during the 3-5 -
monthly sleep spends every day up to 4 thousand calories. without receiving food
and water and removing waste from the body. Investigating using radioisotope methods samples taken from
26
26blood and tissues, scientists have come to the assumption that these properties
animal due to special hormones that are pumped in the fall
in his body from the hypothalamus. Metabolic processes at the bears,
in a state of hibernation, were similar to
metabolic processes in the human body
under dry starvation. However, it was found that the organism
Bear carries out these processes much more efficiently. A starving person spends to support life as
fat and muscle tissue. After prolonged fasting
people not only lose weight but also losing strength. Bears, on the contrary,
waking up in the spring, have the same strong muscles, which
had a fall, and do not experience hunger another 2 weeks. Scientists
also found that during hibernation exchange proteins in 5
times more intense than in the active state of the animal. For
ensure that the exchange bears fall stockpile
proteins for winter hibernation, eating at least twelve hours a day. Caloric content of their daily allowance extraordinarily high - up
20 thousand calories. Greatly increased protein metabolism during the winter
hibernation and involves the formation of many waste products.

Sergei Ivanovich Filonov
Who is the author of the book "Dry Limotherapy - Myths and Reality"?
The author's childhood experience of meeting a cancer patient and learning about a book that described a cancer patient being cured with herbs and hunger.
What inspired the author to become a doctor?
Humans tend to react to fasting by losing weight and strength, while animals, on the other hand, can recover their strength and muscle mass after waking up from hibernation.
What is the main difference between the way humans and animals react to fasting?
The author believes that medication should only be used in acute cases and that the body has the ability to heal itself if given the opportunity.
What is the author's opinion on the use of medication?
Hibernation is a state in which the animal's metabolism slows down to conserve energy, whereas torpor is a state in which the animal's body temperature drops and its metabolism slows down, but it can still wake up and become active again.
What is the main difference between hibernation and torpor in animals?
