Jacob Bogatin & Alternative Medicine

The traditional definition of glaucoma is that this term embraces the big group of various eye diseases, characterized by a constant or periodic increase of intraocular pressure, due to the infringement of outflow of fluid from an eye that can lead to visual function disorders and even to the atrophy of an optic nerve with its possible cupping.

According to Jacob Bogatin Glaucoma can be further subdivided by:

1. Origin:

- Primary – that is connected with infringement of drainage system of an eye and as consequence leads to the deterioration of an intraocular fluid outflow;

- Secondary, which results from other diseases of an eye (inflammations, cataract, diabetic changes, a thrombosis, a trauma, a tumour etc.) or after eye surgeries;

- Mixed that is congenital, connected with other congenital anomalies.

2. Age of the patient:

3. Mechanism of increase of intraocular pressure (open-angle, angle-closure).

4. Level of intraocular pressure:

- With increased intraocular pressure;

- With normal indicators intraocular pressure

5. Degree of involvement of an optic nerve (initial, developed, advanced and terminal).

6. Clinical course – stabilized and not stabilized.

Hereditary glaucoma susceptibility is a well-known fact. If somebody from your blood relatives was ill or is has glaucoma, you are at risk.

Jacob Bogatin claims that there are several risk factors influencing the occurrence and progressing of glaucoma process. Local factors can be allocated such as myopic refraction (short-sightedness) and some general ones as when the patient is more than 60-65 years old, heredity, diabetes, low blood pressure, thyroid gland diseases, etc.

Intraocular pressure is of great importance in diagnosing glaucoma that is defined by the difference of the intraocular fluid inflow and outflow when the excess fluid remains in the eye the pressure is increasing.

Intraocular pressure is neither the common nor the constant quantity for different age groups with various refraction (short-sightedness or far-sightedness), and it also depends on constitutional features of the person (sex, figure, temperament, etc.). That is why it is recommended to use special prescription spectacles.

J. Bogatin: “You can not feel the increased pressure, but ignoring it does not make it less dangerous. The higher pressure is, the longer it remains at high levels, and the more the optic nerve is damaged that gradually leads to its atrophy and the “death” of the eye”.

Migraine is one of the most ancient and widespread diseases known to the mankind. Many outstanding people suffered from this disease: July Caesar, Isaak Newton, Charles Marx, Charles Darvin, Frederic Chopin, Zigmund Freud, E.Poe, A.P.Chekhov, P.I.Tchaikovsky, etc.

Migraine preventive treatment

According to Jacob Bogatin some factors can cause migraine occurrence, therefore they are recommended to be avoided. They are the following factors:

* Stress and depression
* Malnutrition or hunger
* Smoking
* Foodstuff (cheese, chocolate, nuts, fish, the Chinese meal and bananas)
* Lack or surplus of a sleep
* The drinks the contain caffeine (coffee, tea and coke)
* Alcohol, especially red wine and sparkling wine
* Contraceptives intake
* Travel flights and biorhythms infringement connected with them
* Change of a climate and habitual conditions
* Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menstruation or climax)

It is sometimes difficult to define the reasons causing migraine - frequently it is not one factor but their combination. However even the found out trigger can cause only some attacks of migraine but far not all of them. But Jacob Bogatin states that besides, the risk factors are strictly individual and what is dangerous for one can be absolutely safe for another.

Migraine diagnostics

To diagnose migraine it is enough for therapist to learn about symptoms and frequency of attacks. Inspection and some analyses should be carried out as well.

Also the doctor can advise to keep a diary within 2-3 months to track the scheme of attacks occurrence. If a certain scheme is traced during the migraine attacks it points out to the action of certain factors.

Migraine treatment

If you feel migraine approach, immediately stop all the activities, lie down in a dark room where street noise does not reach and take a paracetamol or aspirin. If these measures appear inefficient the doctor may prescribe other medicaments. J.Bogatin claims that these medicines are effective only in case if they are taken at the very beginning of the attack, especially if the headache is accompanied by nausea.

If you experience migraine torments once or twice a week the doctor will prescribe a medicine for the preventive treatment.

If migraine arises under the influence of a certain factor it is better to avoid this factor in the future.

“Our health on 80% depends on our way of life” - that is what doctors say. But statistics shows that most people especially in developing countries do not take this statement into a consideration. A healthy way of life doesn’t just denote only keeping fit and healthy food. Actually it is formed by many other factors. In order to understand the benefits of a healthy living we have to analyze the essential factor of a healthy way of life.

First of all we take food. “We are what we eat” and people should never forget it. I don’t have a purpose to list the tips for a healthy eating. I just would like to mention that every person should think before eating something and analyse what consequences it will bring to their body. Of course, you can close your eyes on small amounts of “unhealthy food” and take fast weight loss pills. For example, eating a hamburger doesn’t bring harm but leading the way of life that includes every day fast food consumption may even result in hospitalization for some groups of people. Some substances are not likely to be eaten at all. Particularly salt, sugar, some kinds of oil. To sum up, the main benefit of eating healthy food is feeling comfort in your stomach.

The other essential factor of healthy way of life is keeping fit. The way how you actually do it doesn’t really matter. I mean, at least a person should do something about his/her body and do not lead a sitting way of life. It doesn’t matter if it is jogging, swimming or visiting a gym. In other words you should give some regular exercises to your body. It is not so difficult but the result is obvious - you will feel fresh and full of energy.

Keeping fit and eating healty food is important and no one denies it. But one should take it for granted that it is not enough to stay healthy. Also we should not forget about bad habits and about a huge amount of harm they bring to our body. Smoking, drinking alcohol, taking drugs are the most burning problems of a modern society. Young people can’t imagine their life without having fun and entertain themselves. But the fact is that having fun nowadays is closely connected with alcohol, drugs and tobacco. This problem should be solved first of all on psychological level. When people understand what harm these habits bring to their health, they might realize that it is hight time to give up smoking, drinking, taking drugs but unfortunately it happens rather late.

In addition there are some factors that have a direct influence on our health but they do not depend on our behaviour. For example, we can not change anything living in a bad enviroment, we can’t influence it. But anyway, we can always choose where to live: in the village or in a city.

Taking into consideration all that factors mentioned above will for sure bring positive result. Not only our body but our soul should feel comfortable. Only when we succeed in solving our health problems we will succeed in a family life and our career. Anyway, is is much easier to live healthy, we just need to understand this. So everyone has a choice to decide what way to choose.

Clinical forms of hypertensive illness are defined by the level of arterial pressure as it leads to the possible damages of various organs, like heart, brain, eye retina or kidneys. Depending on features of clinical data of hypertensive illness, activity of substances and expressive degree vascular defeats can be divided into hyperadrenergical, normo - hypo-and hyperfine disease forms.

The hyperadrenergical form can be found in approximately 15 % of patients, mainly at initial stages of development of hypertensive illness of young patients. The initial (”early”) variant on the clinical displays reminds a boundary arterial hypertensia. It is caused by concentration increase catecholamines — adrenaline or noradrenaline in blood plasma and presents a feeling of a distinct pulsation in a head, palpitation, reddening or persons blanching as well as fever, sensation of internal pressure, alarm, pulse increase, number of warm reductions (in rest to 90—95 ud/minutes). Arterial pressure becomes labile: blood pressure increase to the critical level thus leading to a hypertensive crisis development. Diagnostic center usually defines this stage of hypertensive illness and if clinical signs are not registered a person should consider the level of catecholamines blood and urine plasma.

Jacob Bogatin claims that normo - and hyporenine forms of hypertensive illness develop at average and late age. Women at a climatic stage experience this form more often. It causes a low activity of rennin in plasma and increases the level of aldosterone, detaining in an organism by sodium and liquid increasing volume of circulating blood. Thus this form is usually called a sodium - and volume dependant. For nephritic kind patients the symptoms are the following ones: eyelids puffiness, body puffiness in the morning, hands sponginess, passing oliguria. These symptoms are vividly noticeable after salty food intake and the use of a considerable quantity of liquid.

Hyperfine form of hypertensive illness can be found at15—20 % of patients with a developed or rather quickly progressing disease. This stage is also applicable to young men due to the rennin increase in blood plasma. As a rule this form proceeds hard and is accompanied by the increase of arterial pressure up to 230/130 mm hg and more. Thus the flow of the disease may result kidneys arteriosclerosis.

The sleeplessness is more often considered to be a consequence or any mental infringement as well as a heavy over fatigue of a person. It is necessary to distinguish two cores of dreams infringement nature.

If an impossibility to fall asleep is caused by a mental reason (for example, depression or the raised uneasiness) the specific treatment of this mental frustration will eliminate sleeplessness.

The second reason for an insomnia which is serious as well is that a person may undergo a chronic intellectual over fatigue with the clear signs like the following ones: a constant desire to sleep during the day time, inability or complicated awakening and weakness and fatigue from insignificant loadings.

Even to actually fall asleep may be a huge problem for a person as much energy is required for “switching off” a brain and in case of fatigue the required mental operation is not possible. Constant fatigue prevents information loading to the brain and a person has not time to be switched to rest and quantity of the vital dream is reduced. Anyhow, as Jacob Bogatin states there is always a situation when it is necessary to begin treatment of a chronic sleeplessness as later on the efficiency and productivity of any activity will ultimately essentially decrease.

Of course, the timely consultation of a doctor or psychiatrist often helps to find out the true reason of an illness and to prescribe a correct and timely therapy at one. Overall, there are many successful psychiatric clinics and sleep studies centers in the United States and in Europe that have huge possibilities to treat sleeplessness either by the use of medical medicines or on a psychological level without any pills or medicines used.

Anyway, are there any other reasons that cause the absence of sleep? Sure! Jacob Bogatin outlines the basic things that have vital importance for a person and that can prevent him or her from a healthy sleep:
1) Financial problems;
2) Grief;
3) Unhappy love;
4) Sexual problems;
5) Fear and uncertainty.
Such problems do not give your brain a rest and it doesn’t have enough strength to “switch off”. Thus it results in strong over fatigue. In such a case a medicamentous treatment of sleeplessness is less effective than a real help and consultation of a psychoanalyst.

Treatment of the sleeplessness though having an insoluble character at a given stage of vital problems often leads to the production of some alternative sleeping medicines (sedative preparations). The idea of such pills is the following: due to the psychotropic drugs a brain compels to stop its day time activity but soon the former condition returns with a rising level of brain activity. Similar methods of such a treatment are very dangerous and Jacob Bogatin is absolutely against any kind of such a cure method as the short-term period of simplification and sleep after medicines does not allow brain to have a rest and to continue the activity necessary to solve problems that have actually remained with a person.

The latest developments in psychiatry resulted in a theory that proclaims a full abstention from pills or any chemicals. Just give your body a one-hour sleep or better say nap during a day and more than a half of problems are gone away!

Jacob Bogatin also recommends to unload your emotions and feelings! It is necessary for any normal person to be engaged in his or her favorite activity and hobby. The closing stage of a natural sleeplessness treatment is a physiological stimulation: morning exercises, water procedures, open air hangouts, wandering through woods and cycling.

Unfortunately nothing mentioned above will be of much help for a long time if the primary problem of sleeplessness is not solved. Having solved it you do not need other treatment unless your psychologist or psychotherapist advises the contrary.
