[Galvanization of the area of the spleen as a method of immunocorrection in patients with chronic bronchitis].

Key Findings
- Spleen galvanization improved cellular and humoral immunity in chronic bronchitis patients
- Thymalin produced a comparable immunocorrective effect to galvanization
- Both interventions were more effective than rehabilitation without immunocorrectors
Practical Outcomes
- Thymalin may act as an immune‑supporting peptide, but the study is narrow and doesn’t provide dosage or protocol details for general use. Biohackers should view this as modest, disease‑specific evidence rather than a proven longevity or performance enhancer.
Summary
A small study compared a physical treatment called spleen galvanization to the peptide thymalin in people with chronic bronchitis. Both methods improved immune cell counts, especially low T‑cells, and worked about as well as each other, better than doing rehab alone. The results suggest thymalin can boost immunity, but the evidence is limited to a specific lung condition and doesn’t give dosing or broader health guidance.
Abstract
The effect of galvanization of the splenic area on immune system was studied in 31 patients with chronic bronchitis versus that of immunomodulating drug thymalin (25 patients) or combined rehabilitation without special immunocorrectors (39 patients). Galvanization produced a good response in disorders of cellular and humoral immunities (primarily in low count of T-lymphocytes and T-suppressors), of interactions between immunity components. Immunocorrective effect of galvanization was comparable with that of thymalin.
