Abstract

The paths of modern therapy are numerous and versatile, but undoubtedly the most beneficial results are given by those searches that are directed in the tracks of pathogenesis, the aftermath of the study of biology and pathophysiology. The brilliant advances in the study of hormones, various nutritional factors, such as vitamins, etc., are vivid examples of how mastering the knowledge of natural regulators of the life process provides modern therapy with an instrument of action not only for specific diseases of a certain narrow area, such as for endocrinopathies or eating disorders. but they allow the use of these natural regulators for wider and more distant purposes, leveling and changing the direction of latent and complex pathological reactions. Examples are the use of thyroidin not only for myxedema, but also for metabolic disorders such as obesity, as a diuretic for edema, the use of the manifold action of insulin on the absorption of carbohydrates and acid-base balance, not only in pancreatic diabetes, but also in order to increase appetite. , beneficial effects on nutritional status, improving liver function, etc .; Likewise, we resort to vitamins not only as a specific remedy for vitamin deficiencies, but also for the purpose, for example, to raise the body's defenses against infectious diseases.
