Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 I really don't want to prolong this discussion about homeopaths and homotoxicology but for those of us who don't know, could someone just give a short outline of homotoxicology?

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Doug, This is Joseph Garner. My point was really about homotoxicology, not homeopathy as such. And in the first email I posted about it, I gave what I thought was a brief description of it. Below I have cut and pasted it, or the pertinent part at least. And when I said I'd like to try homeopathic CM formulas (Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang MM for mitochondrial DNA several generations back?), I thought of that as practicing Chinese herbal medicine at experimental dosages, not practicing homeopathy. I personally do not recommend anyone to practice homeopathy who has not had adequate training. I just think there is probably something to be gained by looking at Reckeweg's homotoxicology and the Shang Han Lun at the same time. And I wanted to point out how homotoxicology and Chinese herbal modalities are being combined in the successful treatment of cancer. Joseph <All, As a follow-up to my previous post in reply to ' post on IV vitamin C, I'd like to comment on the Shang Han Lun and homotoxicology. Dr. Reckeweg, founder of the Heel homeopathic company of Germany, was a brilliant medical person who created the science of homotoxicology, which means the study of that which is toxic to mankind (homo sapiens). What he discovered was that the disease process works through six stages, which is the six stages the immune system goes through in its efforts to ward off illness. These stages rather roughly but essentially correspond to the six stages found in the Shang Han Lun. The first stage is called the excretion stage, corresponding to Taiyang stage. At this stage the body tries to excrete germs, toxins, illness in general by sweating, coughing, vomiting, urinating, defecating and such. If this doesn't suffice, then the next stage is inflammation, I presume corresponding to Yangming. If this is not successful at ending the illness, then the immune system deposits toxins in some non-life-threatening places in the body until it can get around to getting rid of them, which is to say in the connective tissue (in-between tissues), corresponding, I would say, to Shaoyang. This is called the deposition stage. These three stages are considered to be the side of the homotoxicology chart reflecting an immune system that is fighting to win, to get rid of illness, a pro-active immune system--the yang stages. If these stages are not victorious, then the illness proceeds to become chronic--the yin stages. This is the side of the homotoxicology chart reflecting a bodymind whose immune system is no longer fighting to win but to lose as slowly as possible, to compensate for what it cannot get rid of. The fourth stage is called the impregnation stage, because the body, having given up on ridding itself of the deposited toxins, now proceeds to seal up or entomb the toxins to prevent systemic poisoning. At this stage the spleen qi is exhausted. This is the stage of chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and such. Eventually the toxins rot through the seals, and the surrounding tissues--and the system itself--begin to degenerate, so this is the degenerative or shaoyin stage. Many die at this stage. In the final or jueyin stage, the regeneration process in the cells goes haywire, and young cells in the most toxic tissues stop differentiating into their various types and become cancerous, so it is called the dedifferentiation stage.> wrote: I really don't want to prolong this discussion about homeopaths and homotoxicology but for those of us who don't know, could someone just give a short outline of homotoxicology?

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Thanks, I remember this very well. I guess I just got confused as to if there was a particular type of therapy that goes with it. My flow charts of this discussion have run off the page and I'm lost. anyway, now I'm a little more clear. doug , Joseph Garner <jhgarner_1> wrote: > Doug, > This is Joseph Garner.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Doug, Well, since it was a homeopathist/medical doctor who came up with this, homeopathy is the usual method of therapy: Reckeweg created a whole set of combination homeopathics to work on the various phases or stages, brilliantly, I might add. But that of course doesn't mean that there aren't an infinite number of ways to treat. Homotoxicology is, after all, just another perspective on health and disease, another map of the same terrain.
