SCIENTIFIC HIRUDOTHERAPY AND HIRUDOLOGY AGAINST THE OBSCURANTIS
On
September 1, 2018, Georgia, the 3d Symposium of the International
Association of Hirudotherapeutists and Hirudologists (IAHH) begins its work. On
the agenda of the Symposium is the presentation and discussion of innovations
that ensure the effectiveness of hirudotherapy as a method of evidence-based
medicine in the complex treatment of various pathological conditions. This
problem and the problem of recognizing a medical leech as a medicinal product
has been on the agenda of modern hirudology over the past decades. In order to
consolidate the efforts of doctors and hirudologists of different countries the
International Association was organized in 2013, which continues the traditions
of the Russian hirudotherapy and of the countries the former Soviet Union in the middle of XX century. We can not accept the active
processes of discrediting hirudotherapy and mixing it with very dubious
medieval methods of "cure", such as shamanism, astrology,
parapsychology, extrasensory and other types of "healing". IAHH
distances itself from so-called "folk" medicine "and the theses
of reports devoted to" folk healing" will not be accepted for
publication. Therefore, it is supposed to strictly evaluate the content of the
abstracts, which will be published as a brochure. Abstracts must be sent to
prof. Baskova I.P. The deadline for accepting theses is July 31, 2018.The volume of it can not be
more than 3 pages in Russian and in English. (Interval between lines 1.5, font
Time New Roman).
