The Objectives of this Book
 
The objectives of this Book
 
The incidence of chronic diseases is constantly increasing, where, for example, 100 years ago less than1% of the population suffered from allergies, today almost every third person suffers allergic reactions. In the case of rheumatism, back complaints, tiredness syndrome and many and various chronic illnesses and infections this tendency continues to increase. Conventional medicine, is in some cases ineffective, treating as it does, only the symptoms of the complaint. A treatment using painkillers, cortisone, antibiotics or psychological drugs offers only short term relief and does not extend far enough. Moreover, substantial side effects may be experienced which can lead to permanent illness.
 
Many patients, dissatisfied with only the symptoms of their illness being treated are turning their interest to Naturopathy for relief. With Naturopathy they can expect a genuine recovery from traditionally tried and tested treatments like Acupuncture, Plantremedies, Homeopathy, Environmental medicines and physical therapies such as Fever therapy and treatments with Vitamins, Trace Elements etc.

Chronic Illness – What to do?
 
The chronically sick , the causes of whose illness remains unclear, are in large part the reason for writing this book. Information can support the healing process and “CHRONIC ILLNESS – WHAT TO DO?” is a contribution towards finding the necessary base of knowledge to specifically treat the cause of chronic illnesses and not just the symptoms. This book is specifically aimed at those chronically sick people who want to organize and control their own treatment regime and who believe in an alternative way to stimulate the healing process and cure their illness.
 
1.1 The Immune System as a Complete System
 
The body is a living system which functions as a total entity. When the body is unable to cope with an illness, something is blocked. In other words: The immune system has broken down and is clearly no longer strong enough to fight the pathogens of subliminal diseases or toxins. Subliminal or subchronical infection should be viewed as a residual component ( e.g. 10%) of an unhealed or a partially developed illness.
 
1.2 Causes of Illness – Multiple Hazards or Focuses
 
Most illnesses occur due to the body’ failure to excrete toxic substances due to a blockage in the system. Problems can occur in the ingestion, utilization or transport of substances within the body and the location of the blockage must first be established and the location of the toxic deposits determined. The unexcreted toxins which form these deposits can hinder the normal functioning of bodily organs and arise from a variety of sources:
 
Poisons of the metabolism are produced within the body’s own organs and cells, becoming an irritatant to the system.
 
Biological Toxins originate from microbes, foods and dental focus within the body; depositing undesirable wastes into the connective tissue.
 
Psychological Stresses often prove to be the root cause of these developments.
 
A Doctor, orientated towards the use of natural remedies commences treatment by searching for the residual causes of the illness, establishing how to treat each of these, individually. Chronic illnes originates from the multiple hazards and stresses often overlooked by conventional medicine. Combined, these can create illness. e.g. Tooth decay, environmental stress, a poor diet etc. The symptomatic treatment, applied in conventional medicine, often cannot alone always heal a chronic illness.
 
Scientific evaluation of the potential success of Naturopathic treatment is undertaken using the “Electroacupuncture after Voll” diagnostic procedure. The multiple hazards which are not evaluated by conventional medicine, provide the key. System malfunctions caused by infections chronic poisoning or bodily substances such as acid or fat and often percieved to be problems of ageing, are thoroughly tested and can prove the starting point for a long lasting recovery. The environmental sources of allergy and the impact of heavy metals and environmental toxins are taken into account in the diagnosis, in order that all the alternative Naturopathic options available can be applied to their optimum in the eventual treatment

Holistic Diagnosis
 
2. Holistic Diagnosis
 
The Naturopathic diagnostic process is thoroughly proven. Using forms of therapy that eliminate the harmful effects of environmental hazards whilst activating the powers of self-healing in the body. Holistic analyses and treatments prove particularly successful in chronic illnesses, because in such illnesses the underlying causes of the illness are an especially important starting point.
 
Acupuncture points
Dr. R. Voll Measuring Acupuncture points

 
2.1 EAV - Testing to determine precise causes of illness
Developed in the ‘50s by the German doctor Reinhard Voll (1909-1989) Electroacupuncture following the Voll method is an entirely painless system of diagnosis and therapy. Nowadays, this method is used to identify the precise focal point of the cause of disease and for selection of medication to be used in therapy. (The local poit treatment is described in 7.1)
 
This form of diagnosis is particularly suitable in the case of chronic illness, because EAV is capable of isolating the toxins and environmental poisins which are the source of an illness. Various hidden inflammations and toxic deposits can be located by EAV., from dental materials such as amalgam, decaying food remains or environmental poisons. Subliminal diseases of the liver, gall bladder etc. can be detected and EAV can also identify psychological stresses.
 
EAV Diagnosis and Medication Test
During the EAV test, the patient holds an electrode in his/her hand whilst readings at the 1200 most important acupuncture points in the hands and feet are taken. Readings in the middle values (50-70 on the scale) are normal, higher or lower readings indicate abnormal pathological changes in the body. Fluctuations in the readings indicate the presence of hazzards and focuses.
 
During this first part of the test around readings are taken at 70-100 measuring points, to identify diseased organs and to locate toxic deposits.
 
Resonance Test – Medication Test
The second part of the examination is organ orientated, using computer generated frequencies to identify which problems can be found at this organ. (for example: Coxackie-virus at the point of the heart-nerv- plexus cardiacus; streptococcus at the point of the joints) Multiple problems in one or more organs can be found by this test and will be part of the detoxification treatment in the next two month.
 
A major advantage of the EAV test is that it identifies the appropriate medication, mainly homeopathic or herbal remedies, to suit the individual illness. In the case of homeopathic remedies, the EAV practicioner can calculate the optimum potency and determine the correct dilution ratio for the remedy. The response to medication can then be measured at the corresponding acupuncture point ; successful treatment resulting in the ideal reading of 50.
 
The Acupuncture Points – Diagnostic Acupuncture
The EAV system is based on Bioenergy principles and the experience and effectsof Chinese acupuncture. Combined with the methods used in conventional medicine and Naturopathy, it has evolved into diagnostic acupuncture.
 
All of the functional areas of the body, organs and parts of organs are represented by one or more acupuncture points on the surface of the skin. At these specific points the EAV reading differs from that at immediately adjacent points on the surface of the skin. If a disturbing factor is present in one of the organs, the energy flow will be interrupted and EAV readings at the acupuncture point will indicate a higher resistance. The holistically orientated practicioner can build up an extensive and accurate picture of the patient’s energy and calculate individual problems for each organ.
 
The electrical voltage used for EAV testingis low enough to be unnoticeable to most patients and there is no danger of shock or electrocution. The localised pressure from the probe electrode is easily tolerable, even by babies. No needles are used in the EAV and the patient remains relaxed and untroubled; making it an especially versatile, non-invasive alternative to conventional methods of examination and treatment. When examining and diagnosing children, such an approach is particularly useful.
 
Point Measuring – What gives trouble where?
A small electric current is passed through the probe electrode onto the skin of the hand (0.9 Volts – compared to a pocket torch battery of perhaps, 1.5 Volts). This current passes through the body from the probe electrode to the opposite electrode, held in the patient’s other hand. When organs are healthy, the measuring instrument records a constant reading. When an unhealthy organ is encountered the passage of the electrical stimulus is disturbed and this disturbance is recorded by the instrument. The scale on the measures the precise level of the disturbance with every decrease of the needle on the scale. (For example: The maximum reading at the bowel measuring point is 94 decreasing by 20 units to 74 in an unhealthy bowel.)

Studies and Scientific Publications about EAV
The fundamental effectiveness of EAV and the holistic combination of diagnosis and therapy are well documented and proven. In Chapter 8 and on our Internet Library website at www.naturmednet.de one can find numerous studies listed.
 
There are more than 40 publications and dissertations from 9 universities in which the diagnostic possibilities presented by Acupuncture after the Voll method are confirmed. The old arguments about lack of scientific evidence can no longer be upheld. This is, similarly, supported by our own studies.
 
2.2 Quantec Analysis of the Causes of Illness A genuine recovery from illness can only be achieved when the basic cause of the problem is established and therapy commences with the treatment of that root cause. Allergies for example, are not diseases of the skin, but disturbances in the immune system which become visible on the skin. These disturbances are not congenital, nor are they subliminal diseases of the regulatory system. They have a variety of causes, and can be related to diet or stress or may be traceable to a variety of psychological factors.
 
Quantec
Quantec Measuring Equipment
 
Examination with Quantec
The Quantec analysis system initially seeks out the source of the illness and secondly calculates an appropriate therapy. During the treatment process, many therapists have observed their patients recognising for themselves thr true cause of their illness.
 
In the course of my own time in practice, I have discovered that the the initial reason for a patient visiting my practice, is usually unrelated to the true cause of their illness. I have concluded that their illnesses and the symptoms displayed represent only the end of a sometimes, very long chain and that there is, therefore, no point in simply treating just the end of this long chain.
 
The object of the Quantec examination is to re-activate the powers of self-healing within an organism. Improvement or long term healing is achieved by restoring normal balance to the Biofield. Quantec provides the Biofield with missing information for as long as required to restore equilibrium.

3. Health Precautions
 
A well balanced diet, exercise, adequate sleep and regular medical check-ups add up to a sensible precautionary programme for lasting health. If health hazards are recognised in good time, chances of recovery are much improved.
 
When, for example, the presence of a tumor is detected at an early stage of development, it can, in 90% of cases be cured. This is not only true of tumors, but in many other diseases such as diabetes or heart and circulatory problems. Health precautions are vitally important. Many patients learn, only after illnesses or painful complaints, to take better care of themselves. Regular check-ups as part of this health awareness regime can be carried out through Naturopathy. Illnesses can be prevented by regular EAV testing. This Health awareness can be reinforced repeatedly with regular Autonomy training. (More about the advantages of EAV in Chapter 2.1)
 
3.1 Health Checks and Autonomy Training Every human being is personally responsible for his/her own health and should actively strive to preserve and strengthen health by developing their powers of self-healing. Autonomic self regulation can, by definition, only be achieved by the patient him/herself. The practicioner and health adviser can only support and accompany the patient. Through EAV the patient can learn more about the interaction of risk factors and learn to recognise aggravating factors and to conciously avoid them.

Soft Therapies
 
4. Soft Therapies
 
No therapeutic procedures in Naturopathy are invasive, meaning that no surgical operations are involved. Naturopathy belongs, therefore, to the soft treatment category. A cure using Naturopathic therapies is based on self regulation of the body, which can be achieved through a variety of soft options.The remedies used vary, but they all have one thing in common, in addition to the fundamental treatment, they all possess preventative detoxification and pain relieving qualities.
 
Therapies which have proved successfil in many of our patients are described in the followinf texts.
 
4.1 The Digestive System
Many tests on chronically ill patients indicate stresses on the excretory organs, the liver, kidneys and the intestines. A significant number of incidences relate to the small and large intestine or colon.
 
60 – 80% of immune reactions originate in the bowel. If the bowel system is healthy, the immune system is, normally, also in good order. However, the intestinal flora which is home to 400 – 500 different types of bacteria, can become disturbed by ingestion, through diet, medication etc. For example a poor diet which is too acidic or containing too much sugar, the ingestion of amalgam or antibiotics can result in impaired resistance of the intestinal flora. This prepares the ground for the development of harmful pathogens and fungi. The immune system can be further weakened by environmental toxins, stress, the contraceptive pill, cortisone and hormones.
 
Immune System Disorders: Allergies
 
Amalgam and commercially produced foods, containing various unknown additives have led to an increase in allergies. Nowadays, people react to more and more substances, especially yeast and mould fungi of various types.
 
By changing to a proper diet the body can be detoxified in a natural way. This detoxification process can be supported by supplements. The daily requirement of vitamins, minerals, algae and amino acids varies in individuals according to state of health, age, sex and bodyweight. Supplements can feed the body with substances to bind mercury and render it chemically harmless. They can also provide the basis for the production of other substances which help to protect the cells from mercury and reduce damage. Deficiencies in trace elements, minerals and vitamins are very common in the chronically ill.
 
Immune System Disorders: Fungal Infection
 
Infections caused by the fungal group Candida albicans have greatly increased. They multiply rapidly and develop into a stringy fungusmyzel which then grows into the mucous membranes and affects the internal organs. The toxin given off by this fungal growth weakens the immune system even further. In this way a variety of accute and chronic diseases can become established and the fungus itself might not be detected as the cause.
 
A Special kind of Fungus: Candida
 
In some people Candida can cause allergies which present themselves in different forms: for example – neurodermatitis, bowel problems, asthma, depression, chronic tiredness, dry eyes, hyperactivity and others.
 
EAV – Diagnoses for Allergies and Fungi
 
Allergies and fungi can be positively diagnosed through EAV: all organs, including the central nervous system can be differentially tested. A chronic problem developed during a previous illness as well as environmental hazards and numerous others can be detected by EAV. An EAV test reveals how different stresse have impacted on individual organs and above all, inall its phases provides a safe, successful control.
 
The bowel is very often the source of the development of multifarious allergies
 
The EAV apparatus does not simply detect the nature of the allergy but also indicates the specific remedy required. It can identify which homeopathic remedy or Nosodes is most suitable for the patient. Anti allergens and cortisone provide only short term relief and treat only the symptoms, not the causes. A lasting cure is better achieved by establishing and treating the root of the immune system weakness.
 
Amalgam Study
 
In 1994 a study in which 320 people were tested for frequency of allergies and the number of amalgam fillings they possessed was published. High amalgam levels resulted in higher frequency of allergies. There was a substantive correlation between amalgam and allergies. The results of this study are supported by a report from Friese, Dauderer and Perger who believe that heavy metal contamination through amalgam is the cause, or at least, partial cause of allergies, acne, chronic infections and numerous other complaints. The therapeutic options for allergies were detailed in this study and confirmed by more than 2000 patients. (In the Marburger study of 1996 420 patients).
 
Detoxification of Environmental Toxins
 
Materials used for the filling of tooth cavities represent a substantial part of the toxins we encounter. Amalgam has a very high mercury content. In some cases, Palladium, copper, silver and, ocassionally gold as well as some synthetic materials create problems.
 
Hazardous Residues in the Mouth
 
Amalgam fillings contain over 50% highly poisonous mercury and other heavy metals. Over the years, impacted by corrosion, mercury can leech out of the amalgam in saliva. Mercury, the fumes of which can be detected in the mouth, accumulates in the liver, kidneys, brain and other parts of the body. Te presence of T these toxins, mercury and other heavy metals can be detected by the EAV equipment.
 
Heavy metals cause chronic sinusitis infections and damage the intestinal flora, encouraging fungi to settle. These heavy metals can more easily attach themselves to fungi than to human cells. Whilst heavy metals remain in the body the fungi can spread repeatedly. The excretion of these toxins reduces the fungal growth and the performance of the immune system is improved.
 
Fungal Growth in the Alimentary System.
 
Fungal growth in the bowel deprives the body of essential substances: Minerals, Vitamins (especially B), Nutrients and Oxygen. This deprivation leads to sudden attacks of hunger. The subsequent craving for sweet things creates an increased growth of yeast fungi. These yeast fungi are unable to convert carbon dioxide and water into the carbohydrates they require and therefore, need “ready prepared food”. They feed on, mainly carbohydrates, sugar and starch. An increased consumption of carbohydrates, especially sugar (glucose, starch, white flour) encourages the increase of Candida fungus. A high carbohydrate diet enables the fungus to double every 20 minutes.
 
Various Presentations of Fungal Diseases
 
Sudden hunger attacks, hypoglycaemia (lack of sugar in the blood), zinc and iron deficiencies, bloating, diarrhoea and constipation are among the main symptoms presenting in this disease.
A yeast fungus infection often remains unrecognized because the symptoms vary and are often non – specific. Only when a number of symptoms occur concurrently does the probability of a Candida infection become apparent.
 
How does one recognise a fungal infection
 
Bloating, diarrhoea and constipation, infections of the anal and genital areas, diaphragm disorders, with shortage of breath and heart problems, sudden hunger attacks, hypoglycaemia, permanent zinc and iron deficiency as well as alcohol intolerance are the main symptoms of fungal infection in adults. It can be recognised in babies when symptoms such as colic, nappy rash and mouth sores present. A poor complexion, pseudoacne, psoriasis, neurodermatitis and excema, chronic tiredness, excessive weight, fatty liver as well as high laboratory measurments of the liver, allergy to foodstuffs, joint and muscle problems, hyperactivity, tendency to infections and chronic infection of the small intestine are all indications of fungus (myskosis). There are also non – specific symptoms such as migraine, depression, memory and concentration problems, sensitivity to chemicals, sexual........., asthma, high cholestorol and paradontose.
 
Fungus Diagnosis – "Everyone has a fungus"
 
I have often had patients who believe the old nostrum – “Everyone has a fungus, you don’t need to treat it.” There are small amounts of Candida fungus in healthy people and it is not necessary to treat this unless, the volume exceeds 1000 germs per cubic centimetre in large intestine or if it is found in other orgens.
Conventional fungal diagnoses where stool samples, blood, skin and mucous membranes are tested, are expensive and often provide unreliable results. A stool sample, for example provides inadequate information for the Naturopathy oriented practitioner as the fungi firmly attach themselves to the wall of the bowel in irregular locations and might therefore remain undetected by the conventional test.
 
Fungus Therapy and Anti – Fungus Diet
 
A four week anti – fungus diet, in parallel with the fungus therapy is deemed advisable. Firstly the “nests” of fungus need to be destroyed by employing a ballast rich diet to drive them out of there hiding places. The fungus therapy provides the cleared bowel to be colonized, through a symbiotic process with beneficial bacteria and a healthy bowel flora is re-established. Oral hygiene is an important factor in ensuring that further fungal colonization is avoided. Good dental hygiene treatment of tooth decay, and regular renewal of the toothbrush are essential to the success of fungal therapy.
 
The correct diet is essential to produce a healthy bowel flora, which will strengthen and support the immune systemand the body will be de-toxicated in a natural way. It is important to consume a lot of liquids – clear water, mineral water and herbal teas are most suitable for washing away all the harmful fungus. To encourage the self-healing of Candida, the normal treatment is Monila albicans D6, seven globuli taken three times daily.
 
Additional Anti Fungus Diet
 
A ballast rich diet is a priority; raw and cooked vegetables daily, especially garlic and sauerkraut. Sweet foods are inadvisable including fruit juice or sweet fruits, bananas for example. Carbohydrates are only allowable when consumed in combination with ballast foods. A breakfast of Muesli is suitable assuming that the patient does not suffer from food allergies. Alcohol consumption is forbidden throughout the duration of the 4 week anti fungus diet. A diet rich in vitamins and minerals strengthens the immune system. Supplementary vitamins and minerals, which are not derived from yeast or mould fungus and are free of additives can help to support the detoxification process.

The High Success Rate of Fungus Therapy
 
A study conducted on 2000 patients by the Marburger Institute for Naturopathy to establish the efficacy of fungus therapy, showed that in 95% of cases, following the removal of amalgam and a brief Nosodes or Symbiotic therapy, there were successful purgings of heavy metals and harmful fungus.
 
We strongly recommend that throughout the 4 week fungus therapy regular monitoring, with EAV is undertaken. In the absence of strict control, fungal infection can re-develop and we would advise against undertaking such a therapy without the assistance of a suitably qualified therapist to guide and advise.
 
4.2 Nosodes Therapy – the best way to encourage self - healing
Nosoden are Isopathic remedies prepared from the substances which themselves cause the disturbance or illness. The microbes and toxins are two of the major groups of Nosoden.
 
Nosodes Group I: Microbes
These are organic components produced from microbes, for example, pus bacteria from a throat swab. The bacteria are preserved in a glycerine alcohol solution, sterilised and cultured in accordance with homeopathic principles (see chapter 4.3). This method can also be used to cultivate germs like, for example Streptococcus haemolyticus – The pathogen for Scarlet Fever, which often plays a role in joint pain, kidney infection or heart diseases.
 
Nosodes Group II: Harmful Substances
This second group are the product of countless hazardous substances ofund in the world about us; in our homes, foods, water, medications etc. and prepared into remedies applying homeopathic principles. The Nosodes of this group are well known in homeopathy.
 
The human body often has no option other than to retain and store harmful substances. They remain like “ticking time bombs” in the body and play an important role in the development of chronic illnesses. Moreover, there is also the danger of direct poisoning which can lead to the immediate development of symptoms, or even death. These harmful substances include not only residues of chemicals or heavy metals from the environment, but also a wide variety of substances knowingly consumed on a daily basis, like food additives (colourings, preservatives etc.) Many of these can be used by the EAV practicioner as Nosodes. To achieve a cure by Nosodetherapy the exact cause of the illness must first be diagnosed.
 
Mercury "Quicksilver"
 
Mercury is the most widespread of the environmental poisins. Due to it’s disinfection qualities, it was at one time even used in skin creams. Since the time of Hahnemann, doctors have conducted trials on the effects of mercury: completely healthy subjects would be given a low (considered harmless) dose of mercury and asked to describe the resulting symptoms. The most common of these symptoms were then recorded, applying the homeopathic principle and over the years, a perfect Microtoxicology of mercury has been developed.
Hahnemann listed an astonishing 1260 different physical and neurological symptoms of mercury poisoning. These can be divided into four main categories: Stress on the nervous system, disruption of the digestive system, weakening of the immune system and allergies. His findings have been published in “Chronisch krank durch Amalgam” by U. Hoffmann. (www.naturmednet.de).
Rashes and other kinds of chronical skin illness are the homoopathic symptoms of the homeopathic remedy Petroleum.
Petroleum causes dizziness, similar to sea sickness, headaches at the back of the head, chronic rheumatic pain or stomach ache. Psychological symptoms include inflammatory temper, unforgivingness and irritability. People have suffered the effects of petroleum since oil and its derivatives became the basis for prosperity of all industrialised nations and a daily dose of car exhaust fumes has become routine.
 
Multi Packs (KUF – Series) and their uses
In EAV, Nosodes are usually used in globuli or ampulles (philes) for drinking, The name originates from the company Kraiss & Fritz by whom they were originally created. In conjunction with Dr. Voll they produced the first EAV test machines. The multi unit packs contain a remedy in various degrees of potency. Normally, potencies from D6 to D200 are used although some remedies do appear in other potency series. The ampoules in a multi pack are packed in small, individually labelled boxes and were specifically developed for use in EAV treatment.
When using multi packs treatment commences with the potency prescribed for the individual patient by the EAV Remedy test, the potency increasing in the order prescribed. It is quite possible that certain potencies may not be used at all. The reason behind the sequential orders of potency is to guard against potential addiction to the remedy. EAV research constantly strives to optimise the potency ordering of remedies.
 
How do nosode Work?
The curative effects of nosodes have been known for the last 150 years, but the mechanisms by which they operate are still unclear. It is assumed that the nosodes provide the immune system with information about the specific illness, allowing the immune system to produce the anti-bodies to fight the infection. With this "new strength" the body can react to the source of the illness or to toxic deposits within the body. At the same time, the body develops resilience to allergies and toxins. The often, high potency homeopathic Nosoden do not make excessive demands on the immune system and can be readily accepted, even in a body weakened by illness. Acting as mild irritants, Nosoden stimulate the body’s own defence systems without harming the body itself. By conveying the necessary information, Nosoden stimulate the production of anti-bodies required to start the healing process. It is, of course, necessary that the body is still capable of reacting to this stimulation for the treatment to be successful.
 
Activating the Immune System with Nosoden Potencies of Nosoden
By choosing the correct potency of the Nosoden the practitioner can select the degree of irritation that is required: Low potency (D3-D15) treat the body, higher the psycholocical problems.
 
Individual Nosoden Therapy
The form of treatment selected by the EAV – practitioner depends on the nature of the illness. The following examples demonstrate the importance of specific individual treatments. Osteomyelitis infection in the jaw region, during a root treatment requires a strong jolt to the autonomous nervous system in order to respond. In such a case the potency required is very low. The opposite is true in the case of bronchial asthma as a low cellular irritation can trigger an attack. Here, a high potency is required and it safer to administer a higher potency than indicated by the EAV test. For example, D8 or D10 Pneumococcinum or Klebsiella rather than D6. When dealing with older or weak patients it is advisable to proceed cautiously with high potencies until the ability for the body to respond is clearly established.
 
The impact of high potencies is not only more subtle and selective, but also deeper and longer lasting. During the EAV treatment, the first six low potency injections are administered one at a time, twice a week whilst the remaining injections, of higher potency are given only once a week. In homeopathic treatments, high potencies are administered over longer periods to achieve similar results.
 
In EAV detoxification treatment Nosodes are administered in globuli form for less severe cases as well as for children or the physically weak. In more severe cases (e.g. Herpes Simplex or Streptococcus) oral doses or injections are preferable.
 
4.3 Homeopathy; Homeopathic Organ Preparations
The best known amongst the organ preparations is the extract from the Thymus gland which is used both as a remedy and as a means of homeopathic potentization. Preparations can be extracted from other organs e.g. Valvula mitralis from the cardiac mitral valve, Plexus Cardiacus from the heart nerve or Cerebrum from the brain.
 
Samuel Hahnemann (1755 – 1843) the founder of modern homeopathy, described the homeopathic effect, repeating the words originally attributed to Hippocrates as follows:
 
Hahnemann believing in the body’s own powers of self regulation, recognised the potential value of the symptoms of illness as a path to curing illness. By the administering of the lowest dose of an individually calculated remedy, which in a higher potency would be highly poisonous, the body can be stimulated to rid itself of the illness. A high potency dose of such a remedy would be capable of producing the symptoms of the illness in an otherwise healthy person. Homeopathic remedies are, therefore, “Energised Cures” which are potentialised and dynamised according to the principles of Similarity and Dilution.
 
The Principle of Similarity
The symptomatic response of a healthy person to a toxic dosage of a disease specific remedy would appear very similar to that of a patient suffering from the disease. The correct homeopathic remedy for an illness can be established by this similarity of symptoms. The very name Homeopathy derives from the Greek word "homo", meaning "similar"
 
The Principle of Dilution
 
Every substance, in diluted form, can be used to reverse the the effects which it produces in it’s concentrated form. There are soluble and insoluble substances: soluble substances are diluted in a mixture of alcohol and water. Insoluble substances are firstly ground with milk sugar and formed into globuli and then diluted to the required potency by dilution.
 
A good example for clarifying the two homeopathic principles is Aspirin or Salysilic acid ( an extract from willow bark). Aspirin whilst useful in preventing blood clotting, can, cause bleeding in the capillary system, a side effect of which is that blood can sometimes enter the stools and urine. A homeopathic dilution of Salycilic acid can be used as a remedy to treat patients presenting with blood in the stools or urine.
 
D – Potencies
In D – Potencies there is a 1:10 dilution. i.e.1 part of the original substance in solution with 9 parts Alcohol and Water or mixed with milk sugar in the same ratio standardised and then potentialized by “succussing” (vigorous shaking).
 
The dilution of a homeopathic remedy can be recognised by the number after the letter: D1 indicates one dilution process, D2 indicates two processes etc.

 
Throughout the duration of an illness, self administration of homeopathic remedies is not recommended or advisable. The treatment of chronic illness belongs in the hands of an experienced Homeopath, possessing the skills required to select the optimum potency of the remedy. The success of the remedy depends upon the correct concentration being prescribed and misuse might result in recovery being hindered rather than hastened.
 
The Homeopathy of Electro Acupuncture Following the Voll Method
In establishing an accurate homeopathic diagnosis, the EAV practicioner requires a great deal of information about his patient. He is not simply treating the illness, but the whole person. In the initial consultation he will spend a lot of time listening to the life story and the personal circumstances of the patient. The EAV introductory questionnaire helps the practitioner to create an holistic picture of the individual patient - diet, stress levels and previous illnesses. The full anamnesis (questions) can easily take an hour or more. Next comes the EAV test to determine which disorders are present and at the same time establish the appropriate homeopathic remedy, in the optimum potency to be used. Homeopathic therapy offers that the nosodes are better accepted.
 
In Homeopathy illness is viewed as an imbalance of body, mind and spirit and therapy, therefore, commences with the cause of the illness and not simply a removal of symptoms. The EAV test indicates which factor/s created the disturbance in the body’s regulatory system.
 
The Body’s Power of Self Regulation
 
The body possesses a self-healing system programmed to identify what should be retained and what should be removed from it. If this inner regulatory system breaks down, due to some disturbance, it can no longer fulfil all of it’s functions and chronic illness can begin to develop.
 
Dr. med. Reinhard Voll discovered that chronic illnesses develop from the retention of toxins in the body. Such poisons must first be purged before the powers of self-healing can be activated. To achieve this, homeopathic remedies derived from plants, animals or minerals are used. The degree of dilution of these substances ensures that no harmful side effects will be experienced.
 
The Homeopathic Initial Deterioration Effect
Some patients initially react quite strongly to treatment and feel worse than before the remedy was administered. This is an encouraging sign that the therapy is proving effective. The treatment selected was correct for this patient as the detoxification process has been triggered into action. At this point it is advisable to reduce the dosage of the remedy. This “Initial Deterioration” is created by the purging of toxins and diarrhoea, high temperature, sweating, discharges and vomiting can be experienced as a rection to the start of detoxification. This initial deterioration is often. quickly followed by an improvement in health. During the detoxification stage it is important for the patient to have a well balanced diet, to consume copious water and to take fresh air for at least one hour per day.
 
Organ Preparations in Homeopathy
In Dr. Voll’s Mesenchym Reactivation Therapy (detoxification therapy) an accompanying homeopathic remedy is administered to ease the effects of the initial deterioration. It is a homeopathic therapy used in conjunction with Nosodes and this detoxification-therapy is the basis of a successful therapy. Toxins accumulated in the mesenchymal areas (connective tissues), block the intake of oxygen by the cells and interefere with the body’s self-regulation ability. This interference, if not treated can cause illness which can, if not treared, become malignant.
 
The aim of the homeopathic therapy is to re-activate the mesenchym zones (room between the cells). The body’s ability to purge the toxic substances from these areas is stimulated by the remedy activating the mesenchym and the body is restored to function normally. During this period of re-activation it is possible that one or two homeopathic remedies, in the same dilution ratio as the Nosoden, will be prescrbed along with a further medicinal organ preparation.Organ preparations are grown from healthy organic tissue from calves e.g. Thymus.
 
It has been proven through bio-chemical research that homeopathic organ preparations can actually influence cellular function. He self-regulatory system of the body is stimulated by the “information” contained in homeopathic substances and is strengthened by potentization.
 
EAV Readings and Their Meaning:
 
Measurements taken during EAV testing indicate whether an organ is healthy or not. Readings over 80 on the scale indicate a disturbance present in the organ under examination and has progressed enough to require treatment. The phases of the illness are further differentiated using EAV Homeopathy.
 
An unstable reading, for example with the meter needle dropping from say, 84 to 64 when measuring at a bronchial would indicate a severe disturbance in the bronchia. During the initial examination this fluctuation is the primary indication of illness.
 
As a soft option, homeopathic therapy is becoming increasingly important. It is especially popularfor chronically ill patients, as orthodox medicine often fails to treat the cause of illness.
 
4.4 Phytotherapy
Based on traditional experience using medicinal plants and herbs, Phytotherapy is a scientifically recognised method of treatment. Medicinal herbs and remedies possess preventative and curative properties and provide pain relief. They are used when dealing with Stomach or bowel infections, sleep disorders, poor circulation, colds and many other conditions. They have high therapeutic value because the substances contained in them have a direct effect upon the body. The complexity of their active contents are scientifically proven. Medicinal herbs can strengthen the function of stomach and intestines, activating digestion, improving the absorption of nutrients, supporting the circulation, improving breathing and much more. Many chronic and acute illnesses are alleviated by the taking of herbs: allergies and other skin diseases, chronic infections, poor circulation, headaches, sleeplessness, liver complaints and numerous others. In more serious cases, for example cancer or rheumatoid arthritis, Phytotherapy alone is not enough.
 
Herbally based medications are more easily tolerated by the body than many conventional ones. Phytopharmaca (herbs) are made exclusively from plants, parts of plants or plant extracts which can be produced pharmaceutically. In Phytotherapy, the mild or “mite” Phytopharmaca are preferred. Unsuitable for self treatment and usually available only on prescription are the strong or “forte” preparations for example, Opium - Tincture which contains morphine, Belladonna – Tincture which contains atropin or juice of Digitalis pupurea which contains Digitoxin. The mild Phytophamaca can be taken without concern but are more useful when administered under supervision (of a doctor) for long term therapies. When taken in combination with other medication some herbal remedies can produce unwanted side effects and proper approval from a Naturopathic practicioner, with a sound knowledge of Phytotherapy is always advisable. He will be able to explain to the patient the complex interactions between the herbal remedies and other medications. However, the possibility of side effects is very low if the remedy is taken in the prescribed dose.

Therapies using medicinal herbs are one of the oldest, known treatments. Phytotherapy, can be combined with other, complementary naturopathic treatments.
 
4.5 Bach Flower Therapy
Bach Flower Therapy is named after it’s founder Edward Bach (1886 – 1936) an English doctor. It is based on the properties of 38 varieties of plant, each of which have a positive effect on the human psyche. Bach Flower remedies can lighten the mood and each can produce a calming effect on the psyche and relieve associated pain.
 
This soft therapy is offered by Naturopathic practitioners and doctors, the therapist prescribing remedies fitting the patients needs following a detailed first consultation. Treatment duration depends on the individual patient and can last a few days or weeks, until a noticeable emotional improvement is achieved. Bach Flower remedies can be purchased from health food shops and some chemists for use in self- treatment, and are available in small bottles of 20ml to 30ml.
 
Bach Flower remedies are used for re-establishing emotional equilibrium rather than for treating psychical or physical illnesses. They help fundamentally to produce relief from acute emotional problems and to relieve perpetuating emotional strain.
 
38 Bach Flowers
When prescribing a therapy it is important that the correct remedy or combination of remedies is selected. From the 38 flower remedies available, we have selected seven, which are the best known and most suitable for self administration.
 
Clematis:
Restores the perception of reality and aids positive thinking. Problems are put into perspective and seem, no longer unsolveable.
 
Impatiens:
Regulates inner tensions and promotes patience and sympathy for others.
 
Larch
Feels like a balm for the soul and is an aid to self-confidence, strengthening self esteem and confidence.
 
Crab Apple
This is the ideal remedy for those with an exaggerated need for tidiness and order, loosening their cramped view of things. Crab Apple is also useful in ameliorating all types of skin disorders (Neurodermatitis, Acne etc.) A feww drops in a bath of water produce a soothing effect and help to reduce itching.
 
Mimulus
Promotes calmness, composure and courage. Hypersensitivity and fear can be overcome.
 
Holly
Reduces negative feelings, such as mistrust, dissatisfaction, envy, hatred jealousy and suspicion. Feelings of calmness and peacefulness are restored and the patient is able to live both with himself and others.
 
Star of Bethlehem
Comforts the soul and softens pain and is of particular benefit to those in great misery, suffering bereavement or mental trauma. Star of Bethlehem strengthens the ability to re-generate both mentally and physically.
 
Rescue Remedy
Rescue remedy is available, ready mixed, for use in emergency emotional situations and contains five Bach Flower remedies: Cherry Plum, Clematis, Impatiens, Rock Rose and Star of Bethlehem. It is often used for additional, short term pain or shock relief and possesses unlimited applications. It is good for grazes, cuts, superficial burns, bee or wasp stings skin rashes and in many other situations. Rescue drops offer immediate relief. Dosage of Rescue Drops is dependant on the situation. It is recommended to either, dilute 2 – 4 drops in water or to apply, undiluted directly on to the tongue. This can be repeated at ¼, ½ or one hourly intervals until the pain eases.
 
Bach Flower Essence
 
A combination of remedies is normally used throughout a Bach Flower therapy. The Bach Flower essence is diluted with water, alcohol or fruit vinegar and the standard dose of 4 drops is taken four times daily. In more acute circumstances this can be increased up to seven times daily, the drops being aplied directly onto the tongur or taken on a plastic spoon.
 
4.6 The Antacid Therapy
Excessive acid in the body can be detected in the majority of people. This is particularly true when the acid – alkali balance is upset by heavy metals (Through amalgam), stress or an inadequate diet push this balance into the acidic zone. Numerous chronic complaints, illnesses and tensions develop from excess acidity in the body. Amongst these are rheumatism, gout, disruption of the metabolism, heartburn, hair loss and chronic tiredness.
 
How can we Measure excess Acidity?
Testing of the pH levels present in the “morning urine” will indicate whether an over acidity problem exists, using pH test papers which are available from the chemist. The normal pH value should be 7.4 and levels between 5 and 6 indicate definite excess acidity. Bringing this prblem under control by restoring the pH level to 7.4 and maintaining that level can provide a cure in up to 50% of cases. (A further, possible measurement includes the capicity puffering of basesof the blood, but this is far too elaborate for normal practice surgeries).
 
Recommendations
The selection of an appropriate treatment for excessive acidity is dependant on the nature of the illness it is causing. If, after all the following recommendations have been strictly adhered to, the treatment shows no indication of having been effective, an EAV test should be undertaken.
 
Approximately 50% of the population have pathogenic fungi in the digestive system (e.g. Candida Albicans), and in the case of heavy metal contamination the figure is about 90%. A possible disruption of the bowel flora or a food allergy should also be considered in discussion with the EAV practitioner.
 
Base remedies
 
Several different kinds of natrium hydrogenic carbonat and simular anti acid salts are very helpful to start treatment.
 
Change of Diet
Vegetables, salads, ripe fruit, potatoes, sweet corn, buckwheat. Dinkel, Hirse, almonds, milk and butter are particularly recommended.
 
ATTENTION:
A weakened digestive system will experience problems in digesting raw foods and the diet therefore should be very slowly changed. Fruit, raw foods and salads should not be eaten at night and fruit, always on an empty stomach only.

 
Abstinence From Indulgence
 
The intake of alcohol,nicotine, coffee, should be avoided. In addition, fast foods, tinned foods, conserved meats (sausages) , pork, fish eggs, cheese, unsaturated fats, white flour based products, sugar, jams, lemonade and all sweet things should not be consumed.
 
Daily Purging of the Bowel
 
Without the use of synthetic laxatives, a daily purging of the bowel contents is highly desirable. If difficulty is experienced the following might prove helpful: (1) 3-5 tablespoons of milk sugar (if tolerated) taken every evening. (2) Multiplasan M17, 3 x 4 daily (3) Tea mix for liver and kidneys taken over a 2-3 week period, followed by Multiplasan. All of these preparations can be purchased, without prescription, from a chemist.
 
Fluid Intake
 
A minimum of 1.5 – 2 litres of fluids per day is very important (demineralised water, weak teas or diluted fruit juices)
 
Regular Exercise
 
Regular endurance training enriches the body with vital oxygen.
 
4.7 The Dietary Therapy
The human body requires adequate supplies of carbohydrates, albumen and fat as well as vitamins minerals and trace elements to ensure that all functions are maintained in proper working order. A well balanced diet provides all of the nutrients necessary for the maintainance of good health. When the diet is unbalanced or inadequate, the body becomes unwell, creating organic disorders which, through deficiencies in the correct nutrition can lead to malignant sickness.
 
Regretably, nowadays it is impossible to avoid the intake of some indigestable or harmful substances. Foods should be selected which are richly nutritious and devoid of as many harmful additives as possible. The digestive system can operate efficiently, without the additional load of processing harmful substances, if provided with a well balanced diet.
 
Tiredness following a rich and fatty meal is a sign that blood is being diverted to the digestive system to help cope with the intake of food. The brain switches to “a low flame” due to the reduction in blood flow. However, after a light , nutritious meal one feels fit and invigorated, no additional digestive effort is required and the body’s full blood capacity is available to serve body and mind.
 
Food Intolerance
Unsuitable diets are a widespread and major cause of many problems. Neurodermatitis, bowel disorders, chronic tiredness, dry eyes, hyperactivity and in a few cases obesity and joint pains can be identified by EAV to be attributable to food intolerances. Tests have shown a definite link between weaknesses in the immune system and certain food intolerances.
 
The body’ defence system can be strengthened through dietary therapy, being provided with all necessary nutrients while, at the same time, being relieved of stress. The aim of the dietary therapy is to regulate bodily functions by re-training the body naturopathically. These aims can be achieved by either long term or short term dietary changes. Which of these is appropriate for an individual patient depends on the nature of the illness and the patient’s personality type. The overall objective of any dietary therapy is to activate the powers of self-healing and to enable the body to cope with illness. The healing process is started by activating the metabolism and purging the body of toxic substances.
 
Patient Information
 
In addition to dietary therapy, we recommend in the case of food intolerance the taking of Okoubaca D4 – 3x1 tablet followed by Okoubaca D8 – 3x1 tablet. 70-80% of cases of food intolerance can be eased or even cured by this method, although some might require additional, specific investigation.
 
4.8. Vitamins, Minerals and Trace Elements (Orthomolecular Therapy)
The Orthomolecular therapy is based on supply of vitamins, minerals and enzymes, the main pillars of health. Many illnesses develop due to the lack of vitamins, minerals and/or enzymes and these can be restored with food supplements, which can positively influence and support the system. Because all but a few vitamins, minerals and enzymes are ingested in food, the respective preparations are known as "food supplements".
 
Lists have been published detailing the recommended daily vitamin and mineral intake, but these recommendations are for the average body, operating under average stresses and may have to be adjusted to suit the individual. Establishing the correct levels of supplements previously involved a thorough and costly check-up. Samples might be taken from blood, urine, stools, saliva, sweat or hair to establish vitamin and mineral content. The EAV test evaluation, however, incorporates environmental hazards and previous illnesses, allowing an individual plan for supplement intake to be drawn up. This plan is designed only to cover the period of sickness and needs to be reviewed following recovery.
 
Vitamins
Vitamins stabilise the immune system, promote fitness and improve resistance to illness. They steer the metabolism and have a stimulating effect on the whole body. In other words, they act like catalysts, strengthening the impact of other substances required for metabollic functions.
 
Prescription of an appropriate daily dose of vitamins can both prevent and cure sicknesses. Vitamin intake provides a healing effect and influences the overall state of bodily health, a fact which is scientifically proven. Linus Carl Pauling (1901-1994), founder of Orthomolecular Therapy and twice a Nobel Prize winner, provided evidence in a quantum mechanics study , that even a small intake of Vitamin C is enough to improve the state of health. The molecular structure of vitamin preparations is similar to that of natural vitamins and is indeed equally effective.
 
Food supplements and vitamin preparations are often used in Orthomolecular therapies: They provide protection from environmental illnesses, colds and heart problems and have positive effects on skin problems, lack of concentration, arterial sclerosis and other complaints. Smokers, alcohol consumers, allergy sufferers, athletes, pregnant women, children, teenagers and the elderly all require higher vitamin intakes, which can be provided by a well balanced diet and vitamin supplements.
 
High dosages of vitamins can stimulate the metabolism and strengthen the immune system providing optimum protection against infection. However, overdosing on vitamins can create health problems presenting symptoms similar to those of vitamin deficiency. We strongly advise against the taking of high doses of vitamins without first consulting a doctor. The free choice of supplements on the market can be dangerously harmful to health when used incorrectly. Vitamins can react with other medications and chronically ill patients under regular, daily medication should ony commence an orthomolecular therapy under the strict supervision of a qualified practitioner. The cheap vitamin complexes, available in supermarkets, are inadvisable for the treatment of illness as they are of inadequate dosage to be effective. The sick often need 10 times the amount of B–vitamins required by a healthy person.
 
Trace Elements
 
Trace elements belong to the large group of minerals, of which the best known are Chromium, iron, fluorine, iodine, copper, nickel, selenium, silicon and zinc. The body also contains cobalt, manganese, molybdenum and vanadium in addition to about two dozen other trace elements whose effects have not, as yet, been scientifically evaluated. Whereas the importance of vitamins to the body was known by the end of the nineteenth century and subsequently scientifically confirmed, research into minerals in the body was, for a long time, neglected and has only been thoroughly examined during the last 35 years.
 
Minerals in the body are trace elements which means that they exist only in tiny “trace” amounts. They are vital to bone structure, heart rhythm, the building of genes, regulation of the body’s fluid balance and much more. They support the immune system and guard against stress. Minerals are ingested in food, although only very small quantities reach the gut in the digestive process,the unused remainder being excreted from the body. Patients often need 10 times higher dosis of the B- vitamine group than normal people.
 
As in the case of vitamin deficiency, deficiency of minerals can lead to various types of physical and neurological complaints from headaches and problems with concentration to depression and sleeplessness. Dry skin and hair loss, along with numerous other problems can also result. Mineral requirements can be met by a properly balanced diet this being preferable to the introduction of artificial products. The chronically ill often lack trace elements such as selenium and iodine as well as minerals like magnesium and calcium.
 
Mineral supplements should only be taken following consultation with a doctor. Before prescribing he will examine the patient carefully to determine whether there is a deficiency of trace elements and minerals. The EAV test is capable of detecting which minerals are lacking and require “topping up”. Following the EAV test evaluation an individual diet plan and mineral intake is calculated.
 
Food Supplements (Vitamin and Mineral Preparations)
It is easy nowadays to buy vitamin, mineral and trace element supplements. They are available from pharmacies, health shops and supermarkets. They can be purchased without prescription and are available as capsules, chewable or suckable sweets, drops and juices. However, this ready availability means that it is easy, for the self-prescriber to make mistakes from which might result effects contrary to those intended.
 
We recommend food supplements which, from experience, have shown good results in our patients. We like to thoroughly inform our readers by providing precise descriptions of contents, effects and recommended dosages. Preparations suitable for vegetarians need to be specifically labelled.
 
The flowery promises of some American companies, offering to cure certain illnesses with special combination treatments are, in some cases, not scientifically proven.
