Symptoms of illnesses are often the expression of a deeper-seated problem. Unlike orthodox medicine, homotoxicology pursues long-term health goals and sets out to find the root cause of illnesses.
Homotoxicology studies the effect of toxins on people. It is founded on the premise that clinical symptoms are a sign that the body is fighting homotoxins. Toxins include both external substances – such as alcohol, colourants or radiation – and substances generated in the body as waste products or intermediate products of metabolism.
The Disease Evolution Table (DET) is an important tool for homotoxicologists to assess an illness and its severity. The therapist compiles all the symptoms displayed by the patient and compares them with the six phases of the DET. Conclusions can then be drawn about the necessary treatment.
Homotoxins can be the cause of any disorder affecting the organ systems or psyche – from heartburn to cancer. The therapy is based on the pillars of detoxification, immunomodulation and cell activation. Treatment involves activating the immune system and neural healing reflexes and prescribing antihomotoxic remedies to assist with detoxification.
