Introduction to Homotoxicology and Bioregulatory Medicine

Definition of Homeopathy
A system of medicine utilizing medications manufactured according to homeopathic principles/standards Remedies stimulate the bodys own regulation and defense systems HOMEOPATHY = similar suffering ALLOPATHY = opposite suffering (a term coined by Hahnemann)

Homeopathy, Herbs and Dietary Supplements


HERBS: regulated as foods
May or may not be dietary supplements

DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS: regulated as foods HOMEOPATHICS: regulated as drugs g g

FDA Regulations for Homeopathic Substances


Must be manufactured according to GMPs Must meet labeling standards for OTC and Rx products Must register establishment and drugs with Drug Listing Branch Must meet HPUS standards

Prescription (Rx) vs Over-the-Counter (OTC)


PRESCRIPTION For serious health disorders (labeling) Dosage form (injectables) Administration requires supervision OTC For self-limiting g conditions Self-diagnosed Self-treatable

Principles of Homeopathy
The Law of Similars Testing of remedies on healthy g y individuals called provers Prescribing based on the totality of symptoms The use of the minimum dose Potentization of the remedy

Potency - Strength of the ingredient


Diluent is alcohol, glycerin or lactose Decimal designated with an X and centesimal scale is a C C Heel and BHI formulas are ALL in the decimal scale

Kristy Anderson, NMD

Introduction to Homotoxicology and Bioregulatory Medicine

Process of Potentization
Potentization involves the serial dilution and succussion (vigorous shaking) of the substance during preparation. Hahnemann discovered that the process of potentization increased the healing power of the remedy while reducing its toxic side effects Example: metals or charcoal
Potentization renders the product nontoxic
11

High vs. Low Potencies


Dilution influences the effect the substance has on the patient
L Low dil ti dilutions affect physical symptoms ff t h i l t High dilutions (200x and above) can affect mental/emotional symptoms

Heel Homaccord preparations are the only products that have higher potency levels (200x, 1000x)
All homaccords are in liquid or oral vial dosage form

Limitations in Classical Homeopathy


Detailed case-taking and extensive familiarity with the existing materia medica is required Todays chronic diseases may be related to environmental toxins, side effects of vaccines, and symptom-suppressing allopathic medicines Todays patients are highly toxic!!
13

Hans Heinrich Reckeweg, MD


Founder of Heel
Conventionally trained as MD in Bonn, Germany (graduated in 1929), continued with classical homeopathic training in Berlin Witnessed father cured of degenerative kidney disease with homeopathy Developed the principles of homotoxicology in 1952; moved to Baden-Baden in 1955

The Roots of Homotoxicology


Reckeweg was trained as a classical homeopath, and applied those principles in the early days of his practice as an MD in Germany He did not have the clinical success he had hoped for with the application of single remedies

15

Experimental Phase
Reckeweg experimented with combining ingredients AND utilizing unusual ingredients- which was a departure from classical homeopathy However, he saw positive changes in his patients reacting to these medicines

16

Kristy Anderson, NMD

Introduction to Homotoxicology and Bioregulatory Medicine

Reckewegs Vision
Eventually, Reckeweg formed a company/product line around this vision To create a bridge between classical homeopathy and conventional medicine with homotoxicology.

Homotoxicology presents a simplified logical simplified, and technically-based method of using homeopathic principles in daily practice

Homotoxicology
Human Toxin Study (poison to humans) The study of the influence of toxins on the human organism Reckeweg viewed diseases as a biologically purposeful process g yp p p
manifestation of the bodys defense system

Introduction to Homotoxicology and Bioregulatory Medicine

Homotoxicology
Essential tenet:
According to Homotoxicology, all those processes, processes syndromes and manifestations which we designate as diseases are the expression thereof that the body is combating poisons and that is wants to neutralize and excrete these poisons. The body either wins or loses the fight thereby. Those processes which we designate as diseases are always biological biological, that is, natural teleological processes which serve poison defense and detoxification.

21

Homotoxicosis
Non-physiological condition which arises after the reaction of a homotoxin on cells or tissues in the body

Struggle Against Toxins


From a homotoxicological perspective, illnesses are seen as the struggles against endogenous and exogenous toxins to bring the body back to homeostasis Illnesses may represent the attempt of the body to compensate for damages caused by toxins b t i

23

What Happens With Toxic Exposure?


Body encounters a homotoxin Initiates series of reactions to either eliminate the toxin or control its biological effects Reckeweg identified and classified the various reactions that the body can mount against h i t homotoxins t i

24

Toxins
Endogenous lactic acid, histamine, antigen-antibody complexes Exogenous- air pollution, toxins in food (preservatives, chemicals, etc), bacteria, viruses Pork toxins- pig viruses, similarity of tissue Allopathic drug residue or impact

25

Living Organisms as Flow Systems


Substances flow into the organism, take part in a variety of reactions, and then leave Substances conducive to health support the flow system without disturbing equilibrium
T i substances t i Toxic b t trigger d f defensive i reactions which upset flow system equilibrium

Bioregulatory Medicine
Therapeutic modality within integrative medicine. M di l di Medical diagnosis i made, with an i is d ith individualized assessment Patients self-regulatory mechanisms are considered Treatment aim is to support the inherent self-regulatory self regulatory ability
Detoxification and drainage Immunomodulation Functional organ and cellular support

Pharmacotherapy
Components within the combination formulas activate the immune/defense system Immunological bystander reaction for use in inflammatory disorders
Brings about immunomodulation

Based on the principle that low doses stimulate and large doses inhibit
Science of Hormesis (Ardnt-Schultz Law) 1X 14X range
4X to 8X are most favorable

29

Pharmacotherapy Higher potencies (14X +), trace elements and intermediary catalysts stimulate the matrix, but do not necessarily induce immunomodulation Potentization of the ingredient plays a significant role in its ability to regulate and activate systems in the body

Immunological Bystander Reaction Induction of cells by non-toxic antigen (homeopathic remedy) Exert effect on the processes of inflammation which were started by another antigen somewhere else in the body
MODULATION

31

Immunological Bystander Reaction


Formulas which have the ability to immunomodulate
Immunomodulate stimulate a weak immune system, yet calm a hyperactive system

Immunomodulation depends on the ingredients contained


Amino acid sequence
Plant extracts, suis organ extracts nosodes & animal extracts extracts, venoms

Dilution from 1X-14X

The importance of the horizontal axis


Gives an idea of how well the patient regulates with a toxin load, and reflects the most upto-date status of the patient Allows us to follow the stages the patient has gone through in their history of treatment Treatment is always planned according to the phase which is the furthest on the right

43

The importance of the vertical axis


Gives an indication of the tissue most affected in the patient This may be genetically predisposed This may be the organ / organ system with the least resistance or weak spot in the body The embryological layers make it possible to treat different layers in the same organ and also follow disease in the same organ

How do I apply the Three Pillars?


Designed to induce regulation & stimulate patients ability to regulate Applied in cycles, with time for assessment in between pp y , When patient starts to regulate, the pillars may be adjusted or continued, depending on how long the patient stays to the left of the regulation division It often takes a few attempts of the body to mount a regulation response which will last Regulation needs to continue until at least three of four episodes of self regulation are observed (see next slide) The basic, symptomatic medication is often given for longer periods

79

Regulation phenomena
The following events show that the patient is moving to the left of where they currently are on the DET:
Acute infections and inflammations classified in the inflammation phase Deposition phenomena getting worse in p patients who p present in the impregnation p g phase
