Recently, medical thermography has attracted more and more attention from physicians and physiologists, especially in the study of complex diseases. Thermograms show the distribution of thermal fields, corresponding or not corresponding to normal thermography of specific areas. The presence of a pathological thermal picture indicates a certain pathology. Medical thermography makes it possible to conduct an examination in a short time (5-10 minutes) with the construction of accurate heat maps and is a safe method of primary diagnosis. Infrared thermal mapping provides a study of the development of a thermoactive process in time, which increases the diagnostic capabilities of the method, especially in the early stages of disease development. The aim of this work is to study the possibilities of medical thermography in the treatment of malignant meningioma by the method of alfitherapy. Alphitherapy (algo – algae, phyto– plants) is a direction in medicine, veterinary medicine, cosmetology, which is distinguished by the fact that it allows you to completely restore the entire body and get rid of hormonal, chronic, acute and concomitant diseases due to a proper balanced diet, which consists of algae, plants, macro- and microelements, vitamins with the presence of plant microorganisms. The data obtained as a result of many years of research indicate that alpha drugs contain a rich set of biologically active substances with versatile pharmacological activity, which are successfully used to treat a wide range of cardiovascular and oncological diseases, injuries and other health disorders. The results of application of the method of medical thermography in alfitherapy based on the portable thermograph IRTIS-2000 ME are presented. A patient was considered whose results of thermographic examination revealed malignant meningioma (brain cancer). As a result of the use of the alfitherapy method, the malignant meningioma was completely cured without surgery. A description of the biological mechanisms of alfitherapy and alfitherapeutic action for the treatment of cardiovascular and oncological diseases is given. The areas of application of medical thermography in medical diagnostics are presented. It has been shown that the use of medical thermography allows non-invasive primary diagnostics and monitoring of the state of human health, and alfitherapy allows effective non-surgical restoration of the whole organism, regardless of nosology.
