How to struggle with an allergy in the south? (Article continuation "Allergic paradise")
I always thought how bad it is that in such an allergic region there are no offices for the Buteyko method in polyclinics. After all, it is one thing when a private methodologist who, despite all desire, cannot accept many patients is engaged in allergy treatment. And it would be perfect on a different basis if allergy treatment were set up so that patients, coming to the state polyclinic, could visit, among other offices, an office where they would be accepted by experts in the Buteyko method. It would, of course, be good. But while such kind of treatment of the allergy remains only an unrealizable dream. The Buteyko method disturbs those who receive big money for selling expensive tablets. And where big money is involved, no arguments of reason will help. Money speaks for itself. And to argue against the arguments of those who do not have enough money, the business is practically unpromising…
In that small provincial town where I could live in the south, I was even told about a local doctor who ostensibly went to Novosibirsk in due time. There she studied the Buteyko method. She treated her own asthma. And then she began to treat patients in this southern town using the Buteyko method… It would seem, where else! In a region where allergy treatment using the Buteyko method is needed literally constantly, at last they began to train patients in the Buteyko method in a usual city polyclinic. I just wrote above how good it would be for those who wish to receive reliable treatment of an allergy with the help of the drug-free Buteyko method.
I would be the first to welcome such treatment of an allergy. But, alas, new patients spoke about this woman doctor only in the past tense and almost in a half-whisper. They spoke like this: "She tried to train in the Buteyko method in a polyclinic. But from the load, her own illness began to come back. And she stopped conducting these sessions." As a result, no treatment of the allergy by the Buteyko method came out of it…
There was no allergy treatment using the Buteyko method in any polyclinic of that small southern town. It did not happen, and it is a great pity! The attempts of that doctor could only be welcomed from the bottom of the heart. Allergy treatment did not take place. But it is quite possible to understand the physician who, after concentrated work with many patients, began to have her own illness come back. After all, nobody allowed this woman doctor to engage within the walls of a federal medical institution only in treating patients with the Buteyko method while preserving a normal working day. No! What asthma treatment here, what allergy treatment using the Buteyko method during working hours in a state institution? Asthma treatment, allergy treatment using the Buteyko method — please! But only after the main work!! After. In a big, so to speak, load… And the big (over the working day) loads, this still yesterday terribly ill doctor could not sustain. Accordingly, the calculation was made…
The Buteyko method could rescue many people who now require allergy treatment in the fertile and warm southern region! Many sufferers could essentially ease their sufferings. I am not even talking here about full treatment of the allergy by the Buteyko method. I am talking about a существенном simplification of the sufferings of those poor fellows who are tightly adhered today to tablets and injections… Treatment of an allergy by means of injections leads them to more and more new kinds of allergy. Already medicinal! Do they need it? No, in no event!! Would the Buteyko method help to ease treatment of the allergy by the Buteyko method without any medicines their sufferings? Certainly it would help!!! So what is the matter? Why in this allergic paradise is this method (as everywhere) in neglect and stagnation? Is allergy treatment not problem №1 here?
No, allergy treatment in this region is problem №1! But for the Buteyko method to be taken up everywhere here, it is necessary that it be taken up at least across all Russia. Otherwise people will simply be afraid to undergo allergy treatment using the Buteyko method… After all, the first question that comes to mind is: why is this remarkable method almost unknown to the sick? Why! If it is so good. If asthma treatment using the Buteyko method passes without any tablets and injections… Why then do the people who take the Hippocratic Oath not hasten to do good to the sick with this remarkable method? For the ordinary patient, the history of medicine is poorly known. If they knew it well, then it would become clear that the situation with allergy treatment in big medicine is not at all an exception.
Konstantin Pavlovich on this occasion repeated that each of the diseases of civilization that is eased or completely eliminated by means of the Buteyko method today demands up to fifty years from present physicians for them to recognize it as an accomplished fact. Allergy treatment here is not an exception. We want the medical semi-official organ to recognize allergy treatment by the Buteyko method — that means we should wait half a century… And do the patients requiring allergy treatment have such a long term? No, certainly not! But them, clearly, nobody asks. If those who decide to introduce or not to introduce training in the Buteyko method for all requiring allergy treatment had been shown the torments of those who are torn apart from within by the smell of ragweed… And after all, in August it spares nobody. I saw how the mayor of a large southern city did not take a scarf away from his nose in August. He suffered mercilessly! He required allergy treatment no less than others. But even his powers were not enough to order the physicians!
