To live long, to die young. And it is even better to remain immortal and while away your days in a small house at some lake very quietly — isn’t it everyone’s dream?
Every nation and every epoch offered their own recipes of rejuvenation. In Ancient Greece the approach to eternal youth was absolutely non-democratic — accessible only to gods. Immortal Gera bathed in a youth source, and others couldn’t do that. In Middle Ages everyone started considering that youth sources execute somewhere in India, Asia or Africa. After opening of America the hearing has gone that there was a wonderful island Bimini near to it, with a wonderful fountain, transforming aged men into young guys.
Those who did not care about searches of the wonderful earth, developed their own home-made methods.
Tibetan rejuvenation
It is possible to name the Tibetan way of rejuvenation the first homoeopathic recipe known in the history, it counts several thousand years. And, as any homoeopathic recipe, it demands very exact execution. So, in transfer into modern system of measures: we take 350 grammes of garlic, cut it and pound by a wooden spoon. Then take 200 grammes of garlick from below, put in a glass vessel and pour with 200 grammes of 96 % spirit. Close the vessel densely and store in a cool place for 10 days. Then filter received mass through a fabric and squeeze. In 2-3 days you can start treatment: add several drops in a quarter of a milk glass and drink 15 — 20 minutes before a meal.
This recipe guarantees improvement of metabolism, sight restoration, increase in elasticity of vessels, preventive maintenance of sclerosis, tumours and paralysis. But only one question worries us: where should we put 150 grammes of cut garlic, which remained at mix manufacturing?
Chinese rejuvenation
Chineses practised second way of rejuvenation. Nejgun - is Taoist practice of activity prolongation, which postpones decrepitude 20 — 30 years later. Nejgun includes also physical exercises forming muscles and sinews, both psychopower training, and vibrating massage, and special outlook. The only “but” — you need time and competent instructor training. Any Chinese practices demand diligence — this is their national character. If it would be opposite, the Great Wall would stand in other place.
Tsar David’s way
As it is known, tsar David was the big judge of a female sex: he could not fall asleep without a girl in his. And only after some centuries descendants knew: it was his special way of rejuvenation. Some enterprising Parisians even adjusted delivery of young virgins of faultless reputation in bed to rejuvenating aged men for 18 franks for a night. The complete course included 24 days of “warmings up”.
Medieval international way
Throughout all Middle Ages interest to human blood did not fade in people. It was desirable, that the donor was the person of high moral qualities, and even better — a virgin, otherwise nothing will happen.
Strange things happened! A Hungarian countess took a bath of virgins’ blood in secret rooms, a ninny drank cock’s blood. In due course customs became softer: in the middle of a XVII-th century French doctors suggested taking only blood of young men and transfusing it to aged men — like young wine in old bellows.
By the way, a potential of a “bloody” way of rejuvenation is not spent till now: scientists managed to rejuvenate muscular fabrics and an internal of experimental animals of old age at the expense of injection of young blood.
Count Kaliostro’s recipe
The alchemist and adventurer count Cagliostro used his own technique of rejuvenation. He developed the whole course, which included a diet, lasting many days, after it — bloodletting, then autographic manufacturing of a medicine, which recipe was a secret. And everything finished with taking of a hot bath, after which the count left as a newcomer.
Jennifer Lopez considers a very hot tube one of the basic means of keeping her own organism toned.
French rejuvenation
A French scientist of 19 centuries Brown-Sequard asserted that turpentinic baths were the truest way of rejuvenation. He also wrote about his 200 patients senior 75 years that were considered as live certificates of efficiency of this treatment in Paris. Together with their articulate illnesses they also lost a brand of old age. This way is good only for desperate ones — those who are ready to suffer a turpentine smell for the sake of youth, and then to be washed from “miracle means”.
Space rejuvenation
Flying machines — are also quite good means for rejuvenation. For example, if you take off by a plane in the western direction and fly 24 hours, these days will be counted for you: the whole planet will grow old for 24 hours, and passengers of a plane will keep same age. Space can help you rejuvenating even more. Calculations show that at speed of a rocket of 240 thousand kilometres per second, that is at the speed equal to 80 percent from a velocity of light, time in a rocket will be slowed down, so that each terrestrial hour on a rocket will proceed only 36 minutes. If a 20 y.o. cosmonaut stays in a flight for 30 years, than, having returned to the Earth being a fifty years old person, he will find out that his contemporaries have grown old for 50 years and became seventy-year old men. And if this cosmonaut manages to conceive a baby before flying away, than, after he returns on the earth, they will become contemporaries.
Fantastic Russian rejuvenation
You can find at once several recipes of rejuvenation in Russian fairy tales. First, youth apples: as it is known, tsars did not stint half-kingdoms for those who would bring them to a court yard.
The second recipe is presented by jumping in a bath with boiling milk. If you are a good person — you will look younger. If not, you will be boiled. By the way, wishes to be a good person have quite real basis: those who perceive the world around positively, live longer, and they have few wrinkles.
