The Ghost in the Machine For many years I have wondered about and questioned the basic tenets of energy medicine. What are we really doing? What are we using for treatment? Where do the effects occur? How do they occur? The explanations given at seminars and in conversation with other practitioners made some sense, but there always seemed to be gaps and, in many cases, confusion about what was occurring. So, let’s start with the basics. The classic definition of energy is that it is the capacity of a [...]

Complementary medicine does not usually treat the symptoms, but begins with the causes. Thus diagnostics which permit a look behind the symptom picture on the surface acquire a corresponding relevance. A useful diagnostic and therapeutic tool is the Electro-Acupuncture according to Voll.

200 Years of “The Organon of Healing”  Where Samuel Hahnemann Wrote his Foundational Work After the Second World War, the practice of homeopathy in Germany experienced a decline and thus also interest in its history waned.
