Chapter 2

I express my gratitude and gratitude to my teachers, who took a direct part in my development, condescendingly accepted my non-standard ideas and did not interfere with their implementation - academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Grigorievich Rumyantsev and Gennady Tikhonovich Sukhikh.

Many thanks to the entire team of my clinic; our daily work with the most complex diseases and successes in their treatment became the basis for all the statements described in the book.

I express special gratitude for the help and support in writing and working on the book to Tatyana Evgenievna Obodzinskaya, a talented metabolist, psychiatrist, friend, and colleague.

While working on every line of this book, I thought about my biological continuation; I dedicate this book to my daughter - Anyuta, you are the most valuable thing in my life.

I am also grateful to our patients, they became the unwitting heroes of this book.Their stories, the stories of their families, fill every page of this book with meaning.
