Sensory Organs The Many Faces of Tinnitus Inspiration from the Naturopathic Practice Hardly any other symptom is as feared and ambivalent as tinnitus. Those affected know what major restrictions on quality of life can be associated with this. Many of them have a veritable odyssey of examinations and treatment attempts of various procedures behind them in order to at least experience relief. Therapeutically, it should be said that there is no one method that is promising for tinnitus. Rather, it takes [...]

Health Foreign Materials In The Body How We Can Avoid Allergies and Chronic Diseases Allergies, inflammations, chronic complaints – how do you find out whether input exogenous materials are the reason for this? And is it really effective to remove the materials? Studies and practical experience encourage those affected. By Carola D'Mexis (Hp.), Mannheim In the last ten years, allergic reactions have increased to such an extent that one in three German citizens now suffers from sensitivity disturbances of the skin, [...]

Strong Lungs Pulmonary Mycoses The Importance of Mucosal Systems and Important Distinction Between Mucosal and Molds in Diagnosis and Therapy Severe, inflammatory pulmonary mycoses are relatively rare in the practice of a naturopath. A strict distinction must be made as to whether it is an inflammatory pulmonary mycosis (with rapid and extensive damage to vital functions) or an allergic problem. As a result, the courses vary from mild, self-limiting infections to life-threatening diseases, with appropriate treatment approaches. Basically, the question at [...]

A Cancer Therapy Special Integrative Oncology Treating Cancer Patients Safely For those in a hurry About half of cancer patients in Germany seek support from complementary medicine in addition to evidence-based conventional (“school”) medicine. The "S3-Guideline for Complementary Medicine in the Treatment of Oncological Patients" presents evidence-based, complementary therapies. Once the initial shock of a cancer diagnosis has subsided, many sufferers want to take action themselves and therefore resort to micronutrients or phytotherapy in addition to their conventional therapy. Unfortunately, the number of studies on [...]

Interim Results of the Ongoing Long-/Post-Covid Study From the Hospital for Naturopathic Medicine in Munich. Abstract In December 2021, we started an in-house observational study at the Krankenhaus für Naturheilweisen (Clinic for Internal Medicine, Naturopathy and Homeopathy) on the topic of “Effectiveness of our Naturopathic Complex Treatment for Long-/Post-Covid Syndrome”. While the first, initially small numbers of patients with Long-/Post-Covid came to us in the second half of 2020, these patients developed into one of our largest patient groups during 2021, in some cases with [...]

Birthdays, Philosophy & Exit Strategies With the culmination of the 101st Birthday celebrations and activities for my beloved Mom Catharine, I’ve once again found myself wandering through the newsletters and ever changing information about the virus, the vaccines and the possible resolutions for the health of our families and patients. I’ve stated it before that without a doubt, this is a unique time in history – for conventional medicine, so-called alternative medicine, politics, economics and society as a whole. I am not so prideful and [...]

Politics, pandemics, censorship and ongoing restrictions. All topics front and center on the mainstream media. As the political winds in the USA swing strongly in favor of “science” (read “chemistry”), Big Pharma and western orthodox medicine, it is once again time for us to take a stand. As I have commented previously, quietly continuing our alternative practice without making our voices heard will leave us without choices, without options and without the ability to obtain the remedies, devices and information that we need to continue effectively treating our patients.

I’ve watched with interest – and a dose of horror – as the vaccination controversy has once again exploded in our province of British Columbia, Canada. As of this morning there are 15 “new” cases of measles diagnosed and reported here. I wonder how many of those ill children were previously vaccinated, but so far no one has answered that part of the equation. Within just a week’s time, the news is flooded with reports of 10’s of thousands of anxious parents signing petitions demanding mandatory inoculations. Our provincial [...]
