I liked everything: the treatment, the staff were very friendly and pleasant, the living conditions (the room was comfortable) were excellent. The sanatorium is located very conveniently - at the beginning of the resort island. The food is quite good for a 2-star hotel, the workers in the dining room are very friendly and always ready to help. I would also like to mention the doctor (Natalia), very attentive, Russian-speaking, the examination and appointments were not formal, but very detailed and with explanations. Transfer from sanatoriums.com - very satisfied. When we return to Piestany, we will choose Pro Patria again, it is cheaper than the others and, in our opinion, no worse.

The downside is the lack of an elevator. A warning to new guests - there is no hairdryer in the room, but you can borrow it at the reception for a fee. So take it from home, although after water treatments there are hairdryers in the pools

Polite staff, there were never any problems, if you came for the procedure ahead of time and there was an opportunity to receive us, they accepted us without talking. A varied diet, in the first days it seemed to us that we were not full, but then we got involved and began to eat even less, so that it would be easier to endure the procedures, especially the swimming pools, if they fell for a while after meals. I hope the treatment will help us, it’s hard to say yet. The room was not luxurious, but clean, separate, its own shower and toilet, TV and internet, for such a price you couldn’t ask for anything betterNegatives

Everything corresponds to advertising and expectations. This is where it all began. This is where it continues. Everywhere is the same, only the sizes of the pools and locker rooms are larger. The food corresponds to the number of stars at the sanatorium (on the wall at the entrance). Two, not three, as advertised. Professional guys work in the mud bath. We will come againNegatives

Attentive and friendly attitude of the staff towards vacationers. COMFORT rooms after renovation fully correspond to four stars. The medical facilities are also in good condition.Negatives
With such room prices, the food in the restaurant should probably be better. Many (more than 50%) of minor procedures are prescribed that are not related to water and mud therapy, which is probably wrong, since patients come thousands of kilometers to receive mud and hydrotherapy as the main factors of the healing process, which, by the way, is declared in the advertisement of the sanatorium, and the prescribed physio and electrical The procedures can be obtained at home in the clinic at your place of residence. And references to complex treatment are probably not appropriate.

Staying at the resort really helped improve my health, gain strength and vigor. Mud and water work great. The staff knows their stuff. Procedures are completed on time and with high quality. The food is good. A wonderful area conducive to rest and relaxation. It is very pleasant to walk along the river bank. There are also all conditions for active recreation: fitness, swimming pool, etc. A large number of additional paid services are offered. Overall the feeling from the stay is very positive. I got what I wanted from my vacation.Negatives
Of the minuses, I can say that the room was dusty. The windows are dirty. I had to clean up myself, because... The quality of cleaning is not very good. But the linen and towels are very clean and changed promptly. The room made a somewhat depressing impression, because... focused on the stay of a patient with disabilities and resembled a sick leave. There are better rooms. I was accommodated in this :((At the reception, the staff works the minimum. But this is in Pro Patria. In other hotels, the managers are quite responsive and kind.

The cost of a call from the room is very high, no one can suggest the possibility of cheaper communication services from the hotel. Is it really that expensive to prepare tea, coffee, compote after lunch? The food is quite sufficient. It is advisable not to schedule the procedure on the day of departure from the hotel, especially if departure is early in the morning

For the first time, my husband and I thought about a sanatorium holiday - we very carefully chose a resort suitable for our health problems. It’s convenient and easy to choose from sanatoriums.com, because... Their website has a lot of information about the different resorts, their profiles and features. Interviews with doctors at these resorts and even videos of procedures. This really helps to get your bearings already at the resort - which procedures are a plus, etc. I asked specific questions and received comprehensive answers, and quickly - within 24 hours. Reserving the selected hotel is done simply; upon arrival at the sanatorium, you can check in without any problems. We arrived on Sunday evening. To our surprise, the nurse received us and filled out the medical record so that everything would be ready for the doctor’s visit the next day. The doctor is Russian-speaking, attentive, and took into account all my health problems when prescribing procedures; some procedures were changed after a couple of days at my request. The entire staff of the PRO PATRIA sanatorium works efficiently, professionally and at the same time with care, you feel in good hands. I read indignant comments that - AH - there men carry medicinal mud and see women going into the shower after the mud procedure... I want to say that working with mud procedures is not easy, working with medicinal baths is also not easy. People come with limited mobility; they can’t get into the bath themselves, much less get out, and most of the patients are not of a fragile build, so it’s impossible to cope here without men. There is no need to pay attention to such trifles - the treatment process is ongoing and that’s all. We liked the treatment. In general, I liked everything - the treatment, the food, the service, and the leisure opportunities. This island is like a huge park - there is where to take a walk, there is even a mini-zoo with pheasants and peacocks... People come there from all over the world - Israel, America, Germany, Europe, the United Arab Emirates and of course their own - Slovakia. We learned that many people come here for the 3rd, 7th, 8th, and even 20 (yes, twentieth) time because they like it and because it’s effective. We also decided that we would come again...Negatives
I gained 2 kg because... everything is tasty and well prepared, there were always salads and fruits, for breakfast there was a buffet - a standard set of dishes - porridge, cottage cheese, cold cuts, eggs in different versions, fruit salad, etc. and so on. It’s impossible to list everything. Lunch and dinner can be chosen from the menu, always four options. For two weeks the dishes were not repeated...

Note for women: in the Pro Patria treatment department, men carry a cart with mud during mud wrapping procedures. The procedure is carried out by female staff, but when, after undressing, you go to another cabin for the procedure and then into the shower, you “in all your glory” pass between the men. Other procedures (except for the jacuzzi and swimming pool) are carried out separately.

Good climatic conditions, relatively close distance to the cityNegatives
Mediocre attitude of staff regarding procedures. Ineffectiveness of treatment: 3, maximum 4 procedures per day, lack of physiotherapy, inconvenient schedule of procedures (along with breakfast), no control by the attending physician, one appointment at the beginning, a mediocre examination in 10 minutes and that’s all. Almost all procedures are aimed at increasing blood flow to the diseased area, but the key to normalizing blood flow and getting nutrition to the joint is the composition of the blood, the number of nutrients, and this requires a well-chosen diet for the patient. But in fact, at lunch and dinner - potatoes, rice, bread (fast-light-diabetogenic-glycemic carbohydrates) only raise blood sugar levels, do not provide nutrients, only pure energy and nothing more, and as a result of such dietary control - a set of additional excess weight, which again creates additional stress on the joints and articular tissues. If you criticize, suggest! It is correct from the point of view of dietetics and nutritional technology to take the following steps: 1) remove fast-diabetogenic carbohydrates (potatoes, rice, white bread, jam, sugar honey...) from the buffet, and from dishes, replace them with slow-non-diabetogenic ones -non-glycemic carbohydrates (black breads, buckwheat, lentils, yellow, gray grains...) Functions of carbohydrates: they have one function - to provide energy during aerobic or anaerobic glycolysis. Problems with eating carbohydrates: 1. Craving for carbohydrates as a result of: psychological habits and eating stereotypes. 2. Often people have problems with enzymes, which prevents the complete breakdown of any carbohydrates; drugs containing enzymes come to their aid. About enzymes and who is responsible for their production in the body will be in the proteins section. 2) Focus on protein foods at the buffet, lunch and dinner. After all, they are responsible for vital functions or functions of life: 1 - structural (all cells are protein structures and for their functioning, growth, and full division, resources in the form of protein are needed). 2 - transport (transport proteins - albumins, are responsible for the transfer of vitamins and minerals). The main source of albumin is dairy products. 3 - immune (protein cells globulins or the more correct name immunoglobulins, when a foreign substance - an antigen enters the body, produces an antibody to fight it, and so that we have a sufficient number of them and they can effectively fight it, we need an emphasis on protein nutrition) 4 - enzymatic cleavage (splitting of human molecules of proteins, fats, carbohydrates due to the work of enzymes in the duodenum: protease, lipase and amylase. Now let's look at food sources of protein: 1 - milk - the most valuable source of protein, provides all 4 functions, contains all 20 amino acids (milk, sour cream, cheese, cottage cheese) 2 - animal - provides the functions of locomotion (movement), 20 amino acids with a predominance of those responsible for the creation of striated and smooth muscle tissue (meat, internal organs of animals) 3 - plant - the least valuable source, contains only 12 amino acids, 8 are not essential, we cannot fully digest, because we do not have a two-chamber stomach, like herbivores, the most valuable element is fiber, because beneficial bacteria in the colon feed on it section of the intestine. (lentils, dark varieties of bread, legumes...) Problems when eating protein foods: 1. Insufficient concentration of hydrochloric acid, which either takes too long and does not completely denature the protein and, as a result, problems with absorption. You can increase the concentration by consuming salt. 2. Problems with enzymes, insufficient amount of amyl secretion and, as a result, impaired absorption. 3. Psychological limitations, here you need to understand that the body doesn’t care about spiritual growth or other ways to justify not using it, it is only interested in its functions, its cells, and nutrition for them. 3) Increase the fat content in buffets, lunch and dinner. Functions of fat: 1 - Surfactant - respiratory function. The end point and place of absorption of oxygen and exhalation of carbon dioxide is the alveolus. The alveolus is a respiratory vesicle, on the inner membrane of which there is a fatty substance - surfactant, it performs two functions: 1 - prevents the membrane from collapsing during exhalation, 2 - ensures the transfer of oxygen through the wall of the membrane. And if we do not have enough surfactant in the lungs, we cannot provide the cells of our entire body with the required volume of oxygen and remove carbon dioxide -> tissue hypoxia, ischemia of internal organs, brain ischemia. Alcohol-containing drinks dissolve surfactant and therefore there is an odor when exhaling and, as a result, a decrease in the efficiency of the lungs. Smoking, the resin enters the alveoli and blocks the synthesis of surfactant, clogs them with resin 2 - membrane. All cells of the body have a membrane, and how good it is depends on: electrical conductivity, cell integrity, cell thermal protection, selective permeability to blood substances. 3 - hormonal. Fats are the only and irreplaceable source for testosterone synthesis. 4 - energy of heat production. The diet of people living beyond the Arctic Circle is 80% fat, 20%, no carbohydrates at all. For them, the main goal is to survive in extremely harsh climatic conditions and to hunt. 5 - energy. The energy content of fats is 2 times higher than carbohydrates and 3 times higher than proteins. Why do we have a constant body temperature? Due to the constant burning of fat. They burn slowly and provide constant energy, unlike carbohydrates, which give jumping sugar, fast - a sharp rise in sugar, energy, burn out in 20-25 minutes and then decline, slow - a smooth rise in sugar, energy, burn out in 4-5 hours, falling slowly. Accordingly, we eat different types of carbohydrates for our different tasks: sudden loads, training - fast carbohydrates, sedentary work, driving a car, reading... - slow carbohydrates. Food sources of fat: 1) Animals. It has the simplest, most stable structure, ideal for: surfactant, membranes and testosterone. 2) Embryonic. Fat in the yolk of birds, fat in fish roe. 3) Vegetable. Their feature is reactogenicity (the ability to enter into reactions); all biochemical processes are built due to the reactogenicity of the structure. The most popular indulgences: 1) You can’t eat after 18:00. You can and should eat. The whole question is what is there. During sleep, our digestive system can work most efficiently. 2) You can’t eat fatty foods, otherwise you’ll get fat. Obesity problems are a matter of excessive amounts of food energy coming from fast carbohydrates. What is a carbohydrate? Carbohydrates are substances that ultimately metabolize to give us carbon dioxide and water. 1 Glucose + O2 = 36 ATP + CO2 + H2O - (aerobic pathway of glycolysis) 1 Glucose + * = 6 ATP + CO2 + H2O + lactic acid (lactate) - (anaerobic pathway of glycolysis) 3) you can’t eat fatty foods, otherwise there will be cholesterol . Cholesterol problems are not problems of eating animal fat, but problems of the lack of the required number of transport molecules of fat in the blood, and therefore they cannot adequately tolerate it and it is lost along the way and deposited in the blood vessels... 4) You always want to eat sweets, why is that? In almost 100% of cases we encounter hypoxia. Hypoxia is a lack of oxygen in the blood and tissues. The energy process - glycolysis (glucose oxidation) must be provided with oxygen to function properly. If it is not there, then its effectiveness drops 6 times and lactic acid (lactate) remains. Roughly speaking, I’ll introduce work without oxygen, we need 6 times more glucose. Now you will understand everything, here is the formula: 1 Glucose + O2 = 36 ATP + CO2 + H2O - (aerobic path of glycolysis, there is oxygen) 1 Glucose + (no) = 6 ATP + CO2 + H2O + lactic acid (lactate) - (anaerobic path glycolysis, no oxygen) To obtain the same amount of energy: 1 molecule of glucose in aerobic mode = 6 molecules in anaerobic mode 5) Proper nutrition - vegetables and fruits. Vegetables are the most valuable source of fiber for us, which we cannot digest; 5 kg of beneficial bacteria in the large intestine function on it. Fruits are a slow carbohydrate, they take a long time to break down, because fructose = glucose + galactose and it takes time to separate galactase from glucose, but Sucrose = Glucose + Glucose is immediately used for energy. 6) Well, I'm already old. This is another stereotype. All the young are healthy, and the elderly are sick. Why does a person begin to suffer more and more with age? Japanese medicine has proven that there are no age-related diseases. There is an accumulation of errors in nutrition, recovery, and cleansing of the body. There are changes in age, but they are not so critical and are confused with the result of errors. Reasons for the spread of fast carbohydrates in the fast food industry, shops, restaurants: 1. Price. Approximate figures for labor costs: 1 kg of Fast Carbohydrates 30-40 RUR, 1 kg of Slow Carbohydrates 80-100 RUR, 1 kg Fat 120-180 RUR, 1 kg Protein 200-250 RUR. 2. Storage. They require virtually no storage costs and have an extremely long shelf life, unlike proteins and fats. They need to be stored and transported correctly, they deteriorate quickly. 3. Easy to use, no cooking required. Conclusion: based on the information presented above in the most concise and accessible form, for full treatment and recovery it is necessary to provide the body with all resources. Otherwise, the effectiveness of the resort’s methods is extremely low, especially for older people. PS I presented only a small part of the information in a brief form, only the necessary amount to understand the basics. The text may contain grammatical errors.

The best thing is the climate and nature around. I liked the location of the hotel, everything you need is close to both the medical buildings and the city. The comfort room also did not disappoint, one might even say it pleased us! The staff is attentive and friendly. I hope the treatment will help.Negatives
Didn't like the food. The cook cooks tastelessly, monotonously, and is not a master of his craft. The cutting of vegetables in the salad bar is almost all seasoned with vinegar, it’s monotonous; at the height of the vegetable season, cucumbers and tomatoes run out quickly; if you’re not in the first row, you’ll be chewing on tough cabbage. I didn’t eat the first courses at all, it was very tasteless. And most importantly, the people here are unhealthy, the food should be at least a little dietary, because this is also part of the treatment. And here everything is spicy, well salted. So everything is good except the food, my wish is to change the cook.
