Biological Medicine is the use of therapeutic techniques and substances that activate, support and enhance the natural regulatory processes within the body. This is diametrically opposed to conventional western medicine which, with it's drugs, blocks, over-rides or replaces natural processes and via medical surgery removes malfunctioning parts.
Western medicine has made spectacular advances in the past century. Restorative surgical procedures and keeping people alive in emergency situations can have almost miraculous outcomes. However, modern western medicine has only recently begun to view the body in an holistic way. Interest in the emerging discipline of Psychoneuroendocrinimmunology (PNEI) is finally accepting the fact that the body is not mechanical, is not the sum of it's constituent parts and cannot be understood using Newtonian reductionist science. The body is a dynamic biological symphony, following the laws of Quantum science. It has within it a sophisticated capability of regulation and repair that when dysfunctional, is better served by healing practices designed to support and strengthen (Biological Medicine) not the forceful overpowering methods employed by conventional western medicine.
The first western modern era doctor to understand the holistic nature of the body was Samuel Hahnemann who developed a system of medicine known as:-
The system of medicine known as homoeopathy was founded by Dr Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), although the premise on which it is based was understood in principle by the ancient Greeks. Dr Hahnemann became disillusioned with the ineffective and often brutal medical treatments of his day and gave up his medical practice, earning a living instead by translating medical texts while studying chemistry. In one such text he came across some information whose truth he doubted, namely that quinine was beneficial in the treatment of malaria by virtue of acting upon the stomach as a tonic. He decided to take small doses of quinine to see what effect it would have on him, and in a few days he began to experience symptoms of malaria. The idea dawned on him that a substance that could produce the symptoms of an illness in a healthy person could also be used to treat an illness with the same characteristics. He returned to medical practice and devoted the rest of his life to formulating the theory and implementation of what was to become homoeopathy. Not only did he oversee the testing of many substances to be used medicinally, he also devised a novel way of preparing those substances so that minute quantities had curative properties without unpleasant side-effects. These remedies and many more added over the intervening years are employed today as they were 200 years ago, and with the same beneficial results.
Then, during the latter part of the 19th and early part of the 20th centuries there were major advances in biological science. Luminaries such as Bechamp (1816-1908) whose work Pasteur plagiarised and distorted to produce his germ theory (that germs cause disease), a misconception tenaciously adhered to by conventional medicine, much to the delight of pharmaceutical companies. Enderlein (1872-1968), who progressed the work of Bechamp into darkfield blood analysis and pleomorphism which postulates that pathogens "develop" because of an imbalance of the terrain of the blood. Pischinger ( ) extended this concept of a terrain to the whole of the body but in particular what he called the ground regulation system (GRS) or extracellular matrix. Continuing research has shown that this extracellular matrix is a complex system of communication, transportation and filtration upon which the body depends for smooth functionality. The physical nature of the GRS interacts with all other body systems, physical and energetic.
Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg developed a major system of Biological Medicine called:-
Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg (1905-1985) began developing the scientific concept of Homotoxicology in 1948. He was a medical doctor as well as a homoeopath and managed to effectively combine both philosophies, the homoeopathic principles of minute energized medicines and the "like cures like" principle, as well as sophisticated evidence based scientific research.
His premise was that illness is the body’s defence mechanism attempting to deal with the adverse effects of homotoxins which he defined as harmful influences of a physical, chemical, biological, energetic or psychological nature.
Emphasis is placed on the importance of maintaining or restoring regulatory balance in the GRS because the functions of cells depend to a great extent on its composition and effective functionality. Any influences that reach the cells must pass through this extra cellular matrix which always responds holistically, as an anatomical and functional unity.
The Ground Regulation System (GRS) connects all cells in the body through a mesh of high-polymer sugar-protein complexes, mostly proteoglycans (PGs) and structural glycoproteins like collagen and elastin. The transfer of nutrients and oxygen from the arteries to the cell depends on the extracellular fluid. Nerve supply to the cell is also seen via terminal autonomic axons with their blind endings in the extracellular matrix. Cellular waste is carried away from the cell via the extracellular fluid and transported to capillaries and lymph vessels. This sponge-like matrix also stores toxins and serves as a buffer to prevent damage to vital tissues. A heavy onslaught of toxins can be stored in the matrix and then released at a rate that the detoxification organs can handle. This reduces the stress on the liver and kidneys as well as toxin-sensitive tissues such as the thyroid, pancreas, and nervous system.
The extracellular matrix is a redox system. The generation of energy from oxygen through ATP synthesis creates an excess in extracellular electrons and protons in the form of oxygen and hydroxyl radicals. The energy released in antioxidative enzymatic processes can be taken up by the water-sugar polymers of the extracellular matrix. The resulting heat is stored and used for the further stimulation of biological processes and homeostasis is thereby preserved.
The extracellular matrix can be damaged by an overburdening of toxins from the environment and a lack of supportive nutrients. In both cases, the primary culprit is free radical oxidation and chronic inflammation issues. The toxin storage capacity of the extracellular matrix becomes exhausted and the buffering systems begin to fail. Toxins become impregnated in the tissue, the organs become damaged and cellular metabolic processes become altered.
Once the extracellular matrix is compromised, the transmission of intercellular information is disrupted. Intracellular communication depends on coherent biophoton resonance reaching target sites throughout the body. The accumulation of toxins within the extracellular matrix creates a chaotic interference pattern that derails biophoton resonance transmission at the level of DNA.
Fortunately, the body uses a multi-channel system for sending information signals. The body conducts signals through nerve paths, protein chains of the tissue and through the meridian channels. Just as the various organs and tissues of the body have their own unique resonant oscillation pattern, the meridian system has its own unique frequency signature.
Homotoxicology combines elements of homoeopathy, naturopathy and conventional medicine, its therapeutic objectives are:-
-Prevention of illness, by maintaining a healthy lifestyle of nutritious food, exercise and a nurturing environment.
-Detoxification of organic systems, by specific medicinal products etc.
-Regeneration of organic systems, by the introduction of formulations in specific doses to stimulate optimum functionality.
-Symptom management, either maintaining improved health or in the case of serious long term chronic disease, supporting organ systems and "putting the brakes" on the progression of the disease.
Biomedicines are mostly administered sublingually in the form of drops and tablets. Biomesotherapy is the subcutaneous injection of small amounts of sterile saline into affected soft tissue and/or directly into specific acupuncture points and trigger points. The introduction of the saline sets up a localized inflammatory response that "attracts" the sublingually administered medicine to the site. Why not inject the medicine I hear you say. Some therapists do inject directly (depending on level of training and licensing) but this goes against one of the main principles of Biological Medicine which is to administer medicines via the same route that the majority of physical homotoxic substances enter the body eg: through the mucosa.
