Tissue theraрy

As it has penetrated ever deeper into the secrets of nature, science has brought to light remarkable processes which take place in the living organism on the borderline between life and death. Investigation of these processes has produced a new method of treatment by tissue preparations, which offers wide possibilities to medical practice. The founder of this method is the famous scientist, Academician Vladimir Petrovitsch Filatov.

The idea of tissue therapy grew out of clinical and experimental investigation of problems connected with transplanting the comea.

Before Filatov it was believed that in order to transplant the comea successfully, the fresh tissue of a living person had to be used. As for tissue taken from a corpse, doctors conceded that it was possible to use it only if it was removed from the eye of the deceased immediately after death.

Death, as it known, does not signify a simultaneous cessation of life in all the cells of the human organism, some of the cells and even entire tissue continue to live and to fight for their existence. In view of this doctors did try to use the comea of a corpse, however, that it was necessary to perform the operation as quickly as possible.

Filatov does just the opposite: he takes tissue from corpses, but is in no hurry to graft it to the eye of his patient. He first keeps the tissue for several days in a cold place. Extensive clinical and laboratory research enabled Academician Filatov to establish that when tissue is separated from the organism and placed in an unfavorable environment, it is subjected to biochemical changes. Deprived of their sources of nutrition, the cooled tissue cells make a last effort to prolong their life and produce substances that increase the tissue ` s power of endurance, tremendously. These substances produced by living tissue on verge of death Academician Filatov calls " biogenic stimulators". The author of the theory of biogenic stimulators assert that " appearance of biogenic stimulators under the influence of unfavorable factors of environment is a law of living nature in general. Biogenic stimulators are produced wherever there is a struggle for life".

The complete chemical composition of biogenic stimulators is still unknown but thanks to the work of Academician Filatov, scientists have learned to create the conditions under which they are produced, to obtain and utilize them for medical purposes.

In order to produce biogenic stimulators in animal tissue the latter is cooled, but not too much, so that it should retain its ability to fight for existence and not perish. As a rule the tissue is kept for five to seven days at a temperature between two and four degrees above zero Centrigrade.

Other conditions are required in order to produce biogenic stimulators in vegetable tissue. Since plant tissue will perish if deprived of light for a long period of time, Academician Filatov subjected leaves of aloe, agave, and plantain and the tops of sugar beets to a " blackout " and there by obtained from them preparations containing biogenic stimulators. Academician Filatov`s research fully confirmed the presence of biogenic stimulators in the tissue treated according to his method. On one occasion the patient brought to Academician Filatov.

Decided to perform the operation by stages: first to substitute the defective comea in the other, unoperated aye, had grown more clear.

It was then apparent that the biogenic stimulators introduced into the patient` s organism with transplanted tissue has exerted their influence on the defective comea.

The theory of biogenic stimulators throws new light on the entire process of curing a patient by transplanting tissue. It was formerly believed that the only purpose of such operations was to replace one piece of tissue by another. Now, however, it has been established that it not the tissue itself which exerts a beneficial influence on the organism of the patient, but the highly active biogenic stimulators contained it. These substances activate all the vital processes in the patient ` s organism, intensify tissue metabolism and physiological functions, and increase the organism ` s resistance to toxious influences. It follows that biogenic stimulators do not act specifically on one or another tissue or pathogenic agent, but influence the entire organism as a whole and the nervous system first and foremost. For that reason transplantation of tissue may produce good results in the treatment of various diseases. In certain cases tissue transplantation may be substituted by injections of an extract obtained from tissue enriched by biogenic stimulators.

Biogenic stimulators may be obtained from a wide variety of sources. In addition to animal and plant tissue, Academician Filatov obtain tissue therapy preparation from medical mud, silt from fresh- water lakes and other material containing the remains of animal or plant organism, which perished in the fight for their existence under unfavourable conditions.

It has likewise been established that biogenic stimulators are also produced in the human organism in cases of injury, under the action of ultra- violet or X- rays, during muscular fatigue and certain illnesses.

Biogenic stimulators are exceedingly stable. They do not their vitality even when subjected for an hour to the influence of temperature as high as 120 degrees Centigrade. They are soluble in water and are capable of distillation when the water they are contamed in is boiled. It is interesting to note that of vegetable origin act on the tissue and organism of.

The doctrine of biogenic of stimulators created by science has proved of immense value not only for medicine, but also for agriculture.

With the help of these substances it is possible to exert influence on cattle to raise the milk yields and secure increased fecundity, and also to influence the germination of seed and the growth of plants in the desired direction.

The Govemment has appraised Academician Filatovs scientific work very highly.

Large numbers of scientists are successfully developing the scientific principles advanced by Academician Filatov and enriching them by new experience.
