Professor Zhdanov about the dangers of drinking alcohol. What is discussed in Zhdanov's lectures on the dangers of alcohol
We continue the series of articles devoted to the problem of studying the harm of alcohol on the human body. In this cycle, we bust the sobriety fanatics myths using a scientific approach and authoritative sources, namely internationally recognized peer-reviewed scientific publications.
Today the myth of Professor Vladimir Zhdanov's lectures on the dangers of drinking alcohol will be debunked. The article will use his real words and some excerpts from the famous propaganda commercial "Common Cause", filmed with federal money and broadcast on major Russian TV channels.
Project "Common cause" about the dangers of alcohol
Let's start with the fact that one of the causes of peptic ulcers is the bacterium Helicobacter pylori. Studies show that alcohol actually protects against this infection.
Also, scientific evidence does not show a risk of developing duodenal ulcers in people who consume more than 30 grams of ethanol per day.
What else is decay? Did the authors go to school? Even there they study this process and know that decay is the decomposition of organic matter under the action of many microorganisms. And this advertisement was riveted with federal money, and they did not even bother to consult with specialists. Apparently they decided not to bother and build their entire argument on ready-made research and lectures by Professor Vladimir Zhdanov.
And this man perfectly knows how to compose fairy tales like walking bacteria, the death of brain cells and their excretion in the urine in the morning, the nation's soldering by Jewish Masons, and so on. Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses are harmless children compared to the army of fanatical teetotalers!
If you go to their communities, they are seriously discussing which brands of chocolate contain ethyl alcohol, so that God forbid you don’t buy it. Zhdanovites love topics about how insidious brewers get poor kids drunk, corrupting the nation through cartoons.
And teetotalers do not care that giving children alcohol is generally prohibited by law, and that state policy is aimed at protecting adolescents from alcoholic beverages in every possible way. What soldering can we talk about?
It's amazing how the creators of advertising did not drag earthquakes and movements of air masses into this. Of course, it is very convenient and reassuring to blame the molecule of ethyl alcohol for all the troubles of people.
You don’t even need to understand the issue in order to identify yourself with a group of fact-resistant jingoistic patriots and teetotalers. The followers of Professor Zhdanov and the Common Cause project do not care about scientific facts, numerous studies and statistics. They will easily dismiss the entire scientific base, replacing it with an extremely convenient thesis that the insidious West is soldering our mother Rus' to drink.
And all right, if the Zhdanovites simply didn’t care about the fact that evidence plays a predominant role in science. They are not embarrassed that the reliable harm from tobacco smoking has found scientific confirmation despite the huge number of people who would not want it.
Fans of the lectures of Academician Zhdanov consider themselves obliged to intimidate everyone with horror stories and myths that are simply enchanting in their delusion. They replace knowledge with ideology. And this is pure fanaticism, akin to religious.
Professor Zhdanov and the problem of the harm of alcohol
It is difficult for Zhdanovites to realize that it is not the use of alcohol itself that is the problem, but precisely the purposeful systematic ABUSE. Moderate consumption is about 50 grams of vodka, 200 grams of wine or half a liter of beer. The accumulation system does not work here, as does misleading false statistics.
If you are not confident in yourself, do not like alcohol products for any reason, if you have already had problems and you cannot stop at all, then it is really better for you to give up alcohol.
As well as if you have a bad heredity, since the tendency to alcoholism is due to a number of genetic characteristics.
Getting drunk on weekends and holidays for the rest of your sobriety time is a really bad idea. Just like any abuse, because it has both negative social and physiological consequences. However, you yourself know this, because such an inscription is found on every bottle of alcoholic beverage!
As for Vladimir Zhdanov and the supporters of the Common Cause project, these people do not fight against drunkenness, but come forward with their own ideology, built on lies and. It is worth working not in the field of fairy tale writing and disinformation, but in the field of developing really working methods based not on the placebo effect.
There are drugs whose effectiveness has been scientifically proven in numerous clinical trials. There are gene therapy techniques that show great promise in laboratory animals. There are rehabilitation centers and programs.
And these methods really work due to the observance of scientific principles. This is not the famous cheating with or looking at and treating her with electric shock, but really working ways to get rid of alcohol addiction.
OBJECTIVE: TO CREATE A CORRECT UNDERSTANDING OF THE DANGEROUS EARLY ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION.
ALCOHOLISM DOES MORE WASTE THAN THREE HISTORICAL SCALES TOGETHER: HUNGER, PLAGUE AND WARS. (W. Gladson)
IN AN ANCIENT ANCIENTITY, MAN DISCOVERED THE UNUSUAL LAUGHTERING EFFECT OF SOME DRINKS. THE MOST COMMON MILK, HONEY, FRUIT JUICES, AFTER STANDING IN THE SUN, CHANGE NOT ONLY THEIR APPEARANCE, BUT ALSO ACQUIRED THE ABILITY TO EXCIT, INSULT A FEELING OF LIGHTNESS, CARE, WELL-BEING. PEOPLE DID NOT IMMEDIATELY NOTICE THAT THE NEXT DAY A PERSON PAYS WITH A HEADACHE, WEAKNESS, AND A BAD MOOD. OF COURSE, OUR DISTANT ANCESTORS AND COULD NOT GUESS WHAT A TERRIBLE ENEMY THEY HAVE ACQUIRED. UNFORTUNATELY, THE SAD CONSEQUENCES OF ALCOHOL DRINKING HAVE LESS ATTENTION THAN THE IMPROVEMENT OF MOOD THAT IS ACCELERATED WITH ALCOHOL USE.
IN THE MYTHS, LEGENDS AND TALES OF THE ANCIENT WORLD - EVERYWHERE FEATURES WINE, DRUNK AND RELIGIOUS. DRUNKNESS PROSPERED, AND HIM HAS BEEN FOLLOWED BY ITS UNCHANGEABLE COMPANIONS - DEPRECIATION, CRIME, SEVERE ILLNESSES.
THE MAIN ACTIVE BEGINNING OF DRUNKING OF ANY DRINK IS ALCOHOL - ETHYL OR WINE ALCOHOL.
TAKEN INSIDE, AFTER 5-10 MINUTES IT IS ABSORBED INTO THE BLOOD AND IS DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE ORGANISM. ALCOHOL IS A POISON FOR ANY LIVING CELL. WHEN INTO THE ORGANISM, ALCOHOL VERY SOON DISTURBES THE WORK OF TISSUES AND ORGANS. BURNING QUICKLY, IT TAKES OXYGEN AND WATER FROM THEM. CELLS SHRINK, THEIR ACTIVITY IS DIFFICULT. IF ALCOHOL IS SIGNIFICANTLY AND FREQUENTLY INTRODUCED INTO THE ORGANISM, THE CELLS OF DIFFERENT BODIES DIE IN THE END.
UNDER THE ACTION OF ALCOHOL, ALMOST ALL PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESSES IN THE BODY ARE DISTURBED, AND THIS CAN LEAD TO SEVERE DISEASES. TISSUE OF THE LIVER, KIDNEYS, HEART, VESSELS AND OTHER IS REGENERATED.
The quickest and most detrimental effect of alcohol is on brain cells, while, first of all, the higher parts of the brain suffer. Quickly delivered by the blood stream to the brain, alcohol penetrates the nerve cells, and is destroyed, as a result of which the connection between different parts of the brain is upset.
Alcohol also affects the blood vessels that carry blood to the brain. First, they expand, and blood saturated with alcohol rapidly rushes to the brain, causing a sharp excitation of the nerve centers. This is where the overly cheerful mood and swagger of a drunk person comes from.
Scientists have found that under the influence of alcoholic beverages in the cerebral cortex, after increasing excitation, a sharp weakening of inhibition processes occurs. The cortex ceases to control the work of the lower, so-called subcortical parts of the brain. That is why an intoxicated person, as it were, loses control over himself and a critical attitude towards his behavior, losing restraint and modesty, he says and does what he would never do in a sober state. Each new portion of alcohol paralyzes the higher nerve centers more and more, as if connecting them and not allowing to interfere in the chaotic activity of sharply excited parts of the brain.
The well-known Russian psychiatrist S.S. Korsakov describes this state in this way: “the intoxicated person does not think about the consequences of his words and actions and treats them extremely lightly ... Passions and bad impulses appear without any cover and induces more or less wild actions.” But in a normal state, the same person can be well-mannered and modest, even shy. Everything in his personality that is restrained by upbringing, decency skills, seems to come out. In a state of intoxication, a person can blurt out any secret; he loses his vigilance, ceases to be careful. It is not for nothing that they say: “What a sober man has on his mind, then a drunkard has on his tongue”
What we in everyday life complacently call intoxication is, in essence, nothing more than acute alcohol poisoning, with all the ensuing consequences. It is good if, after a certain time, the body, freed from the poison, gradually returns to its normal state. And if drunkenness continues, and new portions of alcohol systemically enter the body? What then?
Scientists have found that alcohol introduced into the body is not immediately excreted from there, and a certain amount of this substance continues its harmful effect on the organs for 1-2 days, and in some cases even more.
Alcohol causes a pleasant, high mood, and this encourages repeated use of alcohol. At first, if you wish and firmness of character, you can still refuse wine. Otherwise, under the influence of alcohol intoxication (and the persuasion of friends), the will weakens, and the person can no longer resist the craving for alcohol. Under the influence of alcohol, instincts gain space, the will and self-control are weakened, and often people commit misconduct and mistakes that they repent of all their lives.
Alcohol is very dangerous for young people, especially for girls, because their body is more easily exposed to drugs and alcohol during the growth period. From time immemorial, our ancestors considered water and milk to be the only suitable drinks for children. In ancient Greece and Rome, young men were generally forbidden to drink wine until a certain age.

Purpose: to form a correct understanding of the dangers of early alcohol consumption.
Alcoholism does more havoc than the three historical scourges put together: famine, plague, and war.(W.Gladson)
In ancient times, people got acquainted with the unusual amusing effect of certain drinks. The most ordinary milk, honey, fruit juices, standing in the sun, not only changed their appearance, but also acquired the ability to excite, instill a feeling of lightness, carelessness, well-being. People did not immediately notice that the next day a person pays with a headache, weakness, and a bad mood. Of course, our distant ancestors could not even guess what a terrible enemy they had acquired. Unfortunately, the unfortunate consequences of alcohol consumption have attracted less attention than the improvement in mood that accompanies alcohol consumption.
In the myths, legends and tales of the ancient world, wine, intoxication and revelry appear everywhere. Drunkennessflourished, and it was followed by its constant companions - depravity, crimes, serious illnesses.
The main active beginning of intoxication of any drink was alcohol - ethyl, or wine, alcohol.
Taken inside, it is absorbed into the blood after 5-10 minutes and spreads throughout the body. Alcohol is a poison for any living cell. Having penetrated into the body, alcohol very soon upsets the work of tissues and organs. Burning quickly, it robs them of oxygen and water. Cells shrivel, their activity is hampered. With a significant and frequent ingestion of alcohol into the body, the cells of various organs eventually die.
Under the influence of alcohol, almost all physiological processes in the body are disrupted, and this can lead to serious illnesses. the tissue of the liver, kidneys, heart, blood vessels, etc. is reborn.
The quickest and most detrimental effect of alcohol is on brain cells, while, first of all, the higher parts of the brain suffer. Quickly delivered by the blood stream to the brain, alcohol penetrates the nerve cells, and is destroyed, as a result of which the connection between different parts of the brain is upset.
Alcohol also affects the blood vessels that carry blood to the brain. First, they expand, and blood saturated with alcohol rapidly rushes to the brain, causing a sharp excitation of the nerve centers. This is where the overly cheerful mood and swagger of a drunk person comes from.

From time immemorial, our ancestors considered water and milk to be the only suitable drinks for children. In ancient Greece and Rome, young men were generally forbidden to drink wine until a certain age.
Alcohol has a negative effect on offspring. This was known in ancient times. In Greek mythology, the goddess Juno gave birth to the lame Vulcan from the intoxicated Jupiter. The ruler of Sparta, Lycurgus, forbade the use of alcoholic beverages on the wedding day under the threat of severe punishment. Hippocrates pointed out that the cause of idiocy, epilepsy and other neuropsychiatric diseases is the drunkenness of parents who drank wine on the day of conception.
Drinkers (especially women) under the influence of alcohol become cheeky, unrestrained, talkative, not critical enough of their behavior. In a drunken state, a woman loses her shame, feminine dignity, she is prone to frivolous behavior, sexual promiscuity. The consequences of casual sexual relations resulting from intoxication are tragic.
Venereal diseases, the birth of handicapped children - these are not only words, they are crippled lives, a bleak future.
If drunkenness is the result of improper upbringing, weak will, imitation of bad habits, then alcoholism is a serious disease that requires special treatment. Great efforts are needed to re-educate a person who abuses alcohol. Often these efforts are in vain. There is nothing worse than a drunkard husband who makes his wife and children suffer.
Studies have shown that in boys and girls, alcoholism as a severe, difficult to treat disease arises and develops 4 times faster than in adults. The destruction of personality occurs much faster.
It is worth saying that when girls and boys drink wine, organs are affected, but the central nervous system is especially vulnerable, memory drops sharply, the psyche is disturbed, control over one’s actions decreases ...
Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor, Academician and President of the International Association of Psychoanalysts V.G. Zhdanov in the 80s developed a unique and really working method against the mass alcoholization of the Soviet population. It was a kind of lecture lasting several hours, where the scientist told in detail what exactly happens to the body after the penetration of ethyl alcohol, what are the consequences for the body and for the formation of a holistic personality.
General information about the proposed method
Everyone knows that alcohol is harmful to health, but not every drinker is able to refuse such an attractive relaxing remedy and the subsequent moral oblivion. Zhdanov's lectures partly reach human consciousness, and the doctor himself insists that ethyl alcohol is the most global drug for humans. He informs the public that there is no and cannot be an acceptable rate of alcohol, and the effect of ethanol in any case is detrimental, destructive, fraught with irreversible health consequences.
Zhdanov's method is based on the popular method of G. A. Shichko, according to which daily self-hypnosis takes place, followed by getting rid of this bad habit. The founder's proposal is more rigid, since it provides for keeping a diary, filling out questionnaires, moral pressure on the subconscious of an alcoholic. This method is not suitable in the presence of internal phobias of emotional instability. Zhdanov's proposal is a more gentle version of the popular G.A. Shichko. That is why the more popular and well-known professor among the masses has saved more than one generation.
The academician publicly says that alcohol is harmful even in limited doses, but also does not forget to mention the potential threat of smoking, drugs. In his opinion, these are those provoking factors that are easily subject to human consciousness. Nevertheless, Zhdanov sincerely believed in human self-consciousness and inner strength, so he organized his lectures in such a way as to attract as many people as possible to such a topical and relevant topic at all times.
Our regular reader shared an effective method that saved her husband from ALCOHOLISM. It seemed that nothing would help, there were several codings, treatment at the dispensary, nothing helped. An effective method recommended by Elena Malysheva helped. ACTIVE METHOD
Academician Zhdanov is sure that such toxic substances as ethanol, nicotine, heroin were specially developed for the death of all mankind, including the Slavic nation. This is a weapon of mass destruction, specially prepared by the state against the civilian population. All his lectures were political in nature, so in many countries they remained under a big ban. At the beginning of the new millennium, such information and educational activities with elements of propaganda began to sound on radio and television. The doctor urged the masses to give up alcohol, smoking, and other toxic substances.

How often do you drink alcohol?
Do you have a desire to "hangover" the day after drinking alcohol?
Which of the systems do you think alcohol has the greatest negative impact on?
In your opinion, are the measures taken by the government to limit the sale of alcohol sufficient?
According to statistics, Zhdanov's lectures had a beneficial effect on the then society, moreover, they affect human consciousness today. Despite this, the academician very often faced misunderstanding and open confrontation, and received criticism from narcologists, scientists, and representatives of the state apparatus. Such large-scale persecution did not affect the principles, beliefs and ideals of the scientist, and his lectures still gather wide audiences today.
The essence of the lectures
Zhdanov's lectures classify alcoholism into three stages, each of which has its own characteristics, a potential outcome for the alcoholic. The sooner you start effective treatment, the more likely you are to get rid of such a destructive habit. That is why it is important to know that there are three:
- Alcohol abuse several times a week.
- Systematic binges with the formation of withdrawal syndrome.
- Psychological addiction.
The professor insists that, first of all, ethyl alcohol destroys brain cells, which is especially dangerous in the case of child and adolescent alcoholism. According to his theory, the process is dangerous, but reversible, if you stop the intake of excessive doses of ethanol into the body in a timely manner. If the first stage of alcoholism does not cause concern for human health, then the third stage of Zhdanov's lectures is given special attention. This is a neglected form of the disease, during the exacerbation of which the nervous system, internal organs are destroyed, complete degradation of the personality occurs.
V.G. Zhdanov calls on every person to think again before alcohol destroys his body. Particular emphasis is placed on the increased attention of parents, who must promptly recognize teenage alcoholism. Especially dangerous is the age from 10 years old until the end of the transition period, when the formation of personality, the formation of a worldview and life beliefs take place. This is how you can save the nation from moral decay, improve the demographic situation in the country.
Professor Zhdanov Vladimir Georgievich is a well-known fighter for sobriety. During his many years of practice, he developed his own theory about the dangers of alcohol and wrote several books on it, but today it is recognized as ambiguous. Despite the controversial reviews of Zhdanov's lectures, among which there are accusations of lying and voicing myths, more and more addicted people are successfully cured of addiction to alcohol precisely thanks to his methodology.
The wide popularity of Zhdanov's theory is ensured by its openness to listeners. There are no capacious and incomprehensible terms in the lectures of the professor, they are always clear and make you want to reconsider your views on the current way of life.
About Professor Zhdanov
Vladimir Zhdanov is the chairman of the Union of Struggle for People's Sobriety. The history of educational activities in this area began in 1983. After reading the main theses of the report by F. G. Uglov "On the medical and social consequences of drinking alcohol in the USSR," Zhdanov began to promote a complete rejection of alcohol.
Vladimir Zhdanov has a PhD in Physics, but already in 1997 he graduated with a degree in Practical Psychology. Today Zhdanov is the president of the International Association of Psychoanalysts. One of the activities of the organization is getting rid of tobacco and alcohol addiction. Vladimir Georgievich also cooperates with many public organizations dealing with the problems of alcoholism.
The essence of Zhdanov's theories
Zhdanov's theory is based on the theses developed by such Soviet physicians as F. G. Uglov and G. A. Shichko. At one time they were famous fighters for sobriety.
According to Zhdanov's theory, there are three stages of alcohol addiction:
- Passion for drinking. It implies the regular use of alcoholic beverages several times a week. This stage occurs in many people who are not even aware of it.
- Binge drinking that is regular. At this stage, the desire to drink alcohol becomes stronger. A person in the second stage develops withdrawal symptoms.
- It is not in the third stage that drinking becomes dangerous. The functioning of the nervous system is disrupted and extensive damage to internal organs occurs.
The third stage of alcoholism is characterized by the appearance of a stable physical and psychological dependence on alcohol. As a result, the person morally degrades.
Often, people in the first stage of alcoholism are accustomed to relaxing with alcohol, and therefore do not consider its use a problem.
Causes of alcoholism
According to Zhdanov, there are three main causes of alcoholism:
- Availability. In any supermarket, even the most ordinary grocery store near the house, you can buy alcoholic drinks. You can also drink in any restaurant or cafe.
- Beliefs. Drink is accepted. At banquets, family celebrations or just when meeting with friends.
- Addiction. This is the main reason. As a result of severe addiction, a person is most likely unable to stop drinking on their own.
The paradox of alcoholism is that absolutely anyone can fall under its harmful influence. Even the most conscious bright minds often become susceptible to such a disease as alcoholism.
Theory of the extermination of the Russian people
According to Vladimir Georgievich, alcoholism is not only an individual problem of a particular person, but rather a problem of the whole nation. Based on this assumption, Zhdanov, together with Svetlana Troitskaya, wrote the book Alcoholic Terror.
The main idea of the book is that in Russia there is a powerful alcohol propaganda. Drinking alcohol in small doses is cultivated as "drinking culture". In fact, even in small doses, alcohol is harmful and there is no safe dosage. The gradual accustoming of people to alcohol will lead to the degeneration of the nation as such.
child drinking
Zhdanov is sure that the main cause of child alcoholism is the wrong position of parents in this matter. They often encourage their children to drink soft drinks such as beer or champagne. Not knowing how to rest without a dose of ethanol, an adult sets the wrong example for his child. Realizing that it is possible to drink alcohol, a teenager cannot stop in time. Barriers that would inhibit the use of alcohol, he has not yet developed.
It is a mistake to assume that it is in Russia that the most drinking population on the planet. Addiction to the green snake is a problem in many advanced economies. The Germans, the French, the British drink no less than the Russians, and alcoholism in the UK, Germany or France is as serious a problem as in Russia. For this reason, both in domestic and foreign media, on Internet resources, there are very heated discussions on the topic of combating the "green snake". Both amateurs and people suffering from this disease, as well as specialists with a big name, take part in these disputes. Among domestic fighters for sobriety, one of the most famous activists is Vladimir Georgievich Zhdanov. As a professor at the Siberian Humanitarian-Ecological Institute and president of the international association of psychoanalysts, he presents the public with very descriptive lecture material that helps to overcome alcohol cravings and embark on the path of sobriety and a healthy lifestyle.
Professor Zhdanov on the dangers of alcohol created lectures that are based on the materials of his famous report made in 1986. The main point of these lectures is that the peoples of the former Soviet Union are deliberately harassed with alcohol and tobacco in order to make them more controllable by aggressive international structures, whose aspirations do not bring anything good for the population of countries such as Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. . The phenomenon of Zhdanov's lectures is that they are so simple and understandable that people immediately react to them, regardless of age. Both schoolchildren and pensioners who have watched at least one lecture experience a passionate desire to start a healthy lifestyle. There is no place for boring scientific terms in these lectures, but this does not mean that they are unscientific. This is the skill of the professor - he managed to make fascinating and visual documentary videos from boring scientific material for specialists. Their availability and the presence of colorful images made Zhdanov's lectures very popular, interesting and informative.
Data on the effective destruction of our people
The activities of Vladimir Georgievich are sometimes compared with heroism, since it is precisely this that allows people to recognize the harsh reality associated with the use of alcohol. And this reality is very scary. About 2 million people die in Russia every year, and a third of these deaths are directly or indirectly related to alcoholism. That is, every year the country loses from half a million to 700 thousand of its citizens due to their addiction to the "green serpent". This means that in 12 years of peaceful life, Russia loses as many people as the irretrievable military losses of the entire Soviet Union in the Great Patriotic War - the most terrible war in the history of mankind and the Russian state. During the 10 years of the war in Afghanistan, the USSR lost 50 times fewer dead than it dies in Russia from alcoholism in a year. From the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, 3-4 times fewer people died than die every year in the Russian Federation from addiction to alcohol.
Vladimir Georgievich comes to the simplest conclusion that the Russian people are much easier to exterminate through alcohol than as a result of armed conflicts or social cataclysms of the times of 1917-1937. It was during this period that the revolution, the Civil War, the famine of the early 20s and 30s, repressions and the struggle for power took place on the territory of Russia. During this time, up to 10 million people died throughout the USSR. But these gloomy years have done less harm than the addiction to alcohol in his native country over the past 25 years.
Since 1991, our country has lost more than 20 million people, and this is in peacetime, and in the 20-30s of the last century, a steady increase in population was observed. The conclusion that Professor Zhdanov makes suggests itself. The nation is dying not from military clashes and social cataclysms, but from the abundance of alcohol and its availability to the general population. Alcoholic drinks are available even to children, which is reflected in the existence of child alcoholism in the Russian Federation. Minor children at the age of 14 are mostly familiar with the taste of any alcoholic beverage. It is not necessary to expect healthy offspring from such a generation.
Why does child alcoholism appear and what does it lead to?
Zhdanov's lectures on the dangers of alcohol draw attention to the fact that parents themselves create a favorable situation for the emergence of child alcoholism, provoking and encouraging their children to get acquainted with wine, champagne, and beer. This happens on a birthday or on New Year's holidays. The inhibitory barriers in the child are not enough to confidently refuse the further use of such a dangerous liquid, and he continues to use it more often on weekdays. An unformed and weak body is more susceptible to the negative and destructive effects of alcohol. As a result, by the age of majority, such children are degraded personalities. There is no support and hope for the nation, since this “support” is lying under the fence in a state of intoxication or poisoning. To think soberly, to work physically and mentally with high returns, demonstrating competitive labor productivity (compared to representatives of the population of other countries), domestic youth in their mass cannot. And this is a great tragedy!
It is precisely this kind of information that Professor Zhdanov places in lectures, in which alcohol is the greatest evil. They are full of terrible facts in abundance, they make the blood freeze in the veins of all listeners. The lecture material draws attention to the fact that all this is possible not without the connivance of those in power. It is difficult to disagree with this statement - it is enough to think about the facts cited by Vladimir Georgievich. For example, expensive advertising of alcoholic beverages, which is full of many TV channels of domestic television, where young people are filmed, dismantling the combination of success and youth with alcohol consumption, could not have seen the light without the patronage of government officials. And this is not surprising. The alcoholic beverage industry is very profitable and is therefore of interest to many stakeholders in or aspiring to power.
Lectures by Professor Zhdanov on alcohol and the harm of alcohol
Each lecture on the dangers of alcohol does not open up new knowledge, does not declare sensations. All that he uses is not a secret with seven seals. He makes this knowledge more accessible and interesting for the main Russian layman, sharpening problems where he considers it necessary. Narcologists are familiar with all such information and apply it in their daily activities. This knowledge is opened by Professor Zhdanov for most of the population. A disease such as alcoholism manifests itself in three stages, of which in the first there are no somatic manifestations, but only an increased (or painful) attachment to alcoholic beverages is noted. At this stage, the patient regularly lays behind the collar, while such regularity can be both daily and episodic. He shows strong irritability, any stress is displayed by the manifestation of strong emotions.
At the second stage, the need for strong alcoholic beverages increases with a simultaneous decrease in self-criticism, and it becomes difficult for an alcoholic to realize that he is an alcoholic. The patient has an abstinence syndrome, which may slightly resemble a hangover, but is very different from it. In the latter case, the patient gets better after the hangover passes. With withdrawal syndrome, on the contrary, the state of health worsens, and the patient begins to feel worse at the physical level. The longer alcohol does not enter the body at this stage, the more the patient's condition worsens. There are hallucinations that encourage the patient to go on a binge that lasts for weeks. In the second stage, the alcoholic is aware of the perniciousness of his actions, but cannot do anything about it.
In the third stage, there is significant damage to the central nervous system, many internal organs. In this case, damage to the central nervous system is irreversible. The natural chemical complex of the human body, the liver, suffers the most. It has a devastating effect on the regular use of a small amount of alcoholic beverages. If the amount of these drinks is increased, the liver is destroyed faster, "pleasant" with cirrhosis in the short term. At this stage, the patient does not need large doses of alcohol to reach the desired degree of intoxication. The mental activity of patients is at zero, and it is physically impossible for such a patient to overcome it. To return the situation in a favorable direction, to reduce the harm of alcohol, a doctor and qualified medical intervention are required.
What causes of alcoholism does Professor Zhdanov consider?
In his lectures on the dangers of alcohol, Zhdanov puts several causes of this disease at the forefront. This is the level of poverty, and increased stress, and the "quality" of life. A huge role is played by the environment of patients, established traditions. In our country, almost any holiday is unthinkable without alcoholic beverages on the table. Try to hold a wedding or birthday, anniversary without vodka and champagne? Such a proposal will leave many in a daze, but there is nothing wrong with it. Sober people spend time together, joke, dance, wish the heroes of the occasion many years of life and good health. On the contrary, it looks illogical to wish for good health with a glass or a glass of liquid that takes away this health. But do fights and showdowns between two drunken subjects at a holiday look logical? However, this behavior does not surprise the majority of the population of our country. This is the root of the problem. Habits and stereotypes need to be changed.
The fight against alcoholism as a recipe for the prosperity of the Russian people
Indeed, changing the attitudes of our people, their attitude to alcohol consumption will allow the country to reach a qualitatively new level. A generation will appear that is able to work, think, and defend their country much more productively both with weapons in their hands and in the information war that has been waged for many years against the Russian state and its people. It is more difficult to manipulate a sober, thinking people, therefore it is more difficult to make coups in such a state, destroy its economy, and eliminate its elite.
Bringing a country to prosperity, making its nation monolithic, strong and healthy is a difficult task. And like any complex task, it does not have a simple solution, but requires an integrated approach. To achieve this goal, a number of other problems need to be solved along the way. One of them is to reduce the level of alcohol consumption in Russia.
Professor Zhdanov's lectures convince us that the solution of this problem is the foundation for the prosperity of the country, and it is this task that requires joint efforts both on the part of those in power and on the part of the entire Russian people.

Isn't this a divorce? Why sell online?

Sonya, what country do you live in? They sell on the Internet, because shops and pharmacies set their markup brutal. In addition, payment is only after receipt, that is, they first looked, checked and only then paid. And now everything is sold on the Internet - from clothes to TVs and furniture.

Sonya, hello. This drug for the treatment of alcohol dependence is indeed not sold through the pharmacy chain and retail stores in order to avoid overpricing. Currently, you can only order official website. Be healthy!

Sorry, I didn't notice at first the information about the cash on delivery. Then everything is in order for sure, if the payment is upon receipt.
