This time of incredible manic expansion of life is the natural home for this miasm. Medorrhinum is full of extremes in all forms of physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. Here in Saint John, we are already seeing the seasonal extremes of this time of year — last week we enjoyed a couple of sunny 27°C days, while a grey, wet, cold weekend has led to a waking temperature this morning of ?17°C with the windchill! This miasm is a strong root behind medical conditions such as bi-polar disorder, allergic asthma, and 3D skin conditions, such as warts or skin tags. It is also a very strong factor behind family histories which contain any forms of heart disease.

The general theme running through all the symptoms of this miasm is of an expansion caught by a restriction, which either causes pain, swelling, or inflammation, and a tendency towards exploding outward. In terms of the mental-emotional state and behaviour of this miasm, there are many extremes. Extremes of behaviour and mood punctuate a characteristically brilliant but unpredictable personality, as is often portrayed in the lives of certain creative artists. Aggression and even cruelty are not foreign to this state.

As an artistic impression, you could say that Medorrhinum is represented by the city of Las Vegas — the hometown of “sex, drugs, and rock ’n roll” — where every impulse and wish can be granted, no matter how perverse. It’s interesting that the expression “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” actually represents the emotional aspect of this state of mind. The case study I wrote about last month is an illustration of this state of mind of a guilty feeling which was hidden away inside a little girl.

A drive towards having extremely exciting experiences is characteristic of this miasm. Whether pressing down on the accelerator further than usual on a sunny day with the volume on the radio turned up, engaging in “extreme” and dangerous sports, or pursuing forbidden or perverse sexual experiences, you will recognize this same underlying theme. There is a degree of ‘armoring’ within the medorrhinum state which is attempting to break through at the hand of these types of extremes.

As with all of the chronic miasms, once you understand its most essential characteristics, it becomes relatively easy to identify it as the root of so many varied physical and mental-emotional symptoms. As part of an effective system of medicine, understanding the roots is so much more important than trimming the leaves or branches.

Rudolf Steiner was right on the mark when he said, “as above, so below.” We know that our colons share the same “atmosphere” as our brains.  Dr. Gershon recognized that Serotonin, the chemical that helps to renew us primarily through inducing healthy sleep, is actually propelled out of the colon.  Dr. Gershon wrote a book called The Second Brain which does a superb job explaining why the gut muddies the brain and nervous system if our digestion is distorted by disease and related conditions.

If you consider that 8-9 litres of water bathes the large intestine daily, extracting the last of the minerals and salts from our fecal matter before it exits the rectum, we start to clue in to how the toxins are also subject to this permeable wall and end up in our mesenchymal layer (we are 80% sea water).  With this in “mind,” we start to clue in to the fact that  the brain sits in this same fluid.  Only 6-7 tablespoons of water exit our bodies at one time with stool, so if we starve our system of the amount of pure water we need to consume every day, we are really creating a primordial mucky soup around our brain and organs from our own “undigested” shit!

When folks introduce probiotics, practice proper elimination techniques, eliminate processed grains and sugars from their diets, eradicate the diseases, including the heavy metals – voila! – they think better, are less nervous, and their focus becomes stellar.  Autistic children generally crave sugars to feed the yeasts and foci infections found liberally in the gut that coat the heavy metals (the yeast actually function to prevent heavy metal poisoning).  That is why it is absolutely imperative that chelation be done on the basis of principle and knowledge, which Heilkunstlers are wholly trained in, as you don’t want to trip the system to release the toxicity in the gut too fast, or you end up with a die-off nightmare.  Through principled medicine, the sugar cravings just slow, and the healthy relationship between the two brains is restored.

This is extracted from an e-mail response by us from the Hahnemann Centre for Heilkunst Autism group from this article.

When my son, Jordan, was just a babe, I suffered from a lack of knowledge regarding his developmental milestones.  The problem was compounded with the fact that he was born almost two months premature and although I kept mentally correcting his biological age by two months, he wasn’t appearing to hit his milestones.  Also, being a first-time Mom, I had no clue what I was looking for as I’d never really been connected to many babbling babies or attuned to whether they made eye contact, or not.  I also had no clue, really, at what age these things are supposed to happen.  I knew my baby was special, but my veil of fear and grief kept me from seeing what was going on clearly.

Jordan also did something a little weird, he said the words, “that’s right” at about 7 months, clear as a bell … twice.  That was the first and last time I heard him speak for almost 2 years.  He crawled more at the one year mark, he poked his first teeth through the gum line at about 13 months and walked closer to 20 months.   The poor little mite screamed non-stop for the first six months of his life.  We called him “Le Miserable” and I have written my plight with my babe in greater detail in my book, The Path to Cure: The Whole Art of Healing. I’ve been told by other Moms of developmentally challenged babes that reading my book has helped them by knowing how hard it was for Jordan and I.  A homeopathic dose, if you will … like cures like!

Below is a great short video from Howcast.com that will help you to identify the early stages of development and discern the early signs of Autism.  If I had such a tool when I was home alone in the suburbs struggling with my babe that never seemed to leave babyhood, I would have had more knowledge to address our needs.  At the age of four, we began Heilkunst Treatment and Jordan thankfully launched forward in his development by going back and picking up the pieces lost due to vaccine damage, birth trauma and a Genetic Miasm load that spawned the autistic condition we were all suffering.  I’m pleased to say that Jordan will be 15 next month and he is a beautiful, kind, bright, emotionally intelligent sportsman and musician.  His sense of humor is amazing!

If you watch the short video below, please let us know what you think and if it is a help to you.

I had the pleasure of pouring over this book over the Christmas break this year and I have since been recommending it heartily to patients.  More and more, I see youth come into my office with apathetic eyes and the feeling of being forsaken; especially in the boys.  The boys’ parents are feeling paralyzed about what to do for them.

Sax attributes this shift to the the following five factors:

1. Video Games:  studies show that some of the most popular video games are disengaging boys from real-world pursuits.
2. Teaching Methods:  profound changes in the way children are education have had the unintended consequence of turning many boys off school.
3. Prescription Drugs:  Overuse of medication for ADHD may be causing irreversible damage to the motivational centers in boys’ brains.
4. Endocrine Disruptors:  Environmental estrogens from plastic bottles and food sources may be lowering boys’ testosterone levels, making their bones more brittle and throwing their endocrine systems out of whack.
5. Devaluation of Masculinity:  Shifts in popular culture have transformed the role models of manhood.  Forty years ago we had “Father Knows Best;” today we have “The Simpsons.”

In his book, Dr. Sax goes on to describe how the phthalates in water bottles contain estrogens and that the ecosystems around dump sites are indicating some very disturbing results.  For example, large numbers of male fish are starting to lose their “maleness” and their sex organs are starting to look a lot like female organs.  Also, similar studies have shown that alligators’ testicles are shrinking.  This too has been linked to this phenomena.  Estrogen is softening our males, and turning them slowly into “girls.”  Yikes!

Our schools are also part of this grand phenomenon.  Well-behaved, pleasing girls are celebrated in school, where ill-behaved boys have been labeled with ADD, ADHD, and Autism is becoming epidemic.  We are seeing the results of an education system whose goals are to create female teachers while also making sports and gym class less accessible to boys.  Sax talks about how if you aren’t on the varsity team, there are less and less outlets to play sports simply for the fun of it.  Sax goes further to suggest that we need to educate boys separately and describes one classroom where the boys are even allowed to lounge about on the floor and in chairs as long as they are respectful of the teacher and the other boys’ needs to learn.

Dr. Sax recognizes that video games are the one safe place that boys can exhibit their maleness without disrespecting society’s expectations that they remain suppressed and quiet in their attitudes and behavior.  My son, Jordan, said to me just last week, that he wishes the world was more like the game “World of Warcraft,” as life is so boring!  He added, “First you go to school and then you grow up and work, and then you die.”  His bleak summation hit home in me and I can see how his mentoring by other unmotivated young men has contributed to this state of mind.  I sadly see this same lack of inspiration or motivation in the youthful boys I serve in my clinic every day.

I asked Jordan what he loved about this video game that he has been playing of recent, as he has been too dizzy and sick to his stomach to go to school last week.  I know that he is stuck in a state of grief or the feeling of the “unlived” life.  He responded that he loves to do “battle”, find the treasures, and change himself into a more and more stealthy warrior.  When he speaks of the game, he completely lights up and his symptoms completely dissipate.  When I shared his enthusiasm for the graphics, and openly admired his strength and power, he zinged with excitement.  It was palpable.  When I walked by, he would excitedly invite me to see this new world he was in, which beasts he was fighting, and even his “hallowed soul” illuminated and floating about on one occasion when he was defeated.

This past weekend, I invited 5 boys to shovel a winter’s worth of horse manure out of the barn.  A heavy, distasteful job for most folks.  I could hear them laughing and kibitzing from about 300 metres away.  It was like the most beautiful exorcism.  The stories from their past experiences, the bawdy jokes, the self-teasing and the rapturous laughing was all in glorious good fun and it was loud and full of motivation!

The job was done in four hours, minus the huge plowman’s lunch I served them.  The barn floor was clean enough to eat off of!  It was a pleasure being with them and feeling their camaraderie being born on a task that needed to be done … even over the task of moving a couple of tonnes of horse manure.   Half the boys had never met each other before and they were fast friends by the time the day was done.  One lad was from Hungary on a 6 month tour of Canada.  And one of the other boys said “he sure learned a lot about Hungarians today!”  At lunch they talked about hockey in Canada and soccer in Europe and who their favourite players were.

Since my own son struggles with the structure of school and hates homework, I’ve made it my personal mission to figure out how to  craft an environment to suit his blossoming individuality … on his terms.  He does not remotely resemble the children of my youth … however, he does resemble me.  He is an autonmous thinker, he is motivated only towards what he loves, he is pissed off at the establishment, he won’t settle for bullshit, he can read states of mind like Clint Eastwood in Fist Full of Dollars, and he would rather be left to figure things out for himself.  The current education system totally botches this way of tactile learning at the time you hunger for it.  I know, as I failed 4 courses in grade 11!  This month, however, I am finishing my post graduate studies in what I absolutely love and am destined to be … Heilkunst Medicine extended by the insights of Anthoposophy (the study of Man) and Orgonomy (the orgastic reflex that powers him).  Yeah Baby!!!  There is no life like it.

I only hope that my son will also light up when he is ready.  I also spent years moody, and suffering the depths of my dark side, like some kind of spiritual training that only allowed for lift-off of my desire function in my late 30′s.  Maybe this is the plight of the modern individual and it has to be crafted in this way to achieve the heights and depths of true thinking, feeling and willing.  Certainly Rudolf Steiner and Wilhelm Reich agree that there is a mighty incubation period and horrible “guardians at many thresholds” before true orgastic potency and illumination can be achieved.  With the art of Medical Heilkunst, we are helping to shorten the distance to this end.

Yes, folks, this is typically the scenario that arises every year. If you listen closely you can hear the Center for Disease Control say, “Whoops, we missed the strain for this year’s flu shot – sorry. Please try to overlook the fact that we’ve poisoned you, unnecessarily. Oh, and sorry also about your babies and your grandparents who also received virus from last year’s flu strain. We now know that it didn’t work this year after all just like the year we also tried to administer the prior year’s flu virus without the Avian flu being contained, and now we’re going to scramble to make another one for 2009 to poison you again with just the right live strain, you’ll see, just so that we can make a ton more cash before March! Try not to notice the anti-freeze and the Mercury being injected into your bodies, those are just the preservatives we use. Try not to pay any attention to that fever or that little bit of paralysis you may suffer later, it’s not related at all. Oh, and sorry that ADHD, Autism and Alzheimer’s are becoming epidemics, but we can never be sure what “gifts” we impart to humanity, because frankly, we’re entirely focused on getting this B-strain right before March.”

For the watered down media’s version, please see this link.

As most of you know, you can receive the homeopathic dose, which causes no harm, on the principled basis of homoprophylaxis and that we’ve tracked 99% efficacy over the last 9 years. The Center for Disease Control offers less than 15%. The proof is in the pudding.

Dear Mr. Thompson:

I saw your book titled Counterknowlege in a book store the other day, and browsed through it quickly.

There are a couple of comments that I would like to make, regarding what you say in this book mentioned above.

First, you are very critical of the idea of vaccinations causing autism.  What I believe is that in some cases, vaccinations trigger autism.  However, I believe that this is because in cases in which vaccinations cause (or trigger) autism, the individual has a high sensitivity to the heavy metals that vaccinations inject into the body.  It is just like the fact that nuts cause some people to be very ill physically, but in all such cases, it is because the individual has a severe allergy to nuts.  In cases in which an individual becomes autistic after having a vaccination, it is not the vaccination itself, or even the heavy metals that are in it, that is at fault, but the weak immune system that the individual has.

Second, I am very disappointed about your unfavourable opinion on alternative medicines.  When I picked up your book, I was hoping that you would be critical of the pharmaceutical industry.  I know that the pharmaceutical industry has brainwashed many of us into believing that if there is no pharmaceutical cure for something, then there is no cure for it whatsoever.  However, I have a strong suspicion that this is the pharmaceutical industry’s own wishful thinking.  A lot of people are saying that there is no cure for autism, but I have a strong suspicion that the pharmaceutical industry is brainwashing people into believing that.  I have a strong suspicion that if there is no pharmaceutical cure for autism, the pharmaceutical industry won’t want anybody to think that there is any solution to autism whatsoever.

In your own opinion, if no alternative medicines can correct or eliminate autism, does that mean that there is no solution to autism whatsoever?  From what I hear, there is currently an epidemic of autism.  It is more common in the Baby Boom generation than in any generation before it, and it is even more common in the generation after it.  What are people going to do if and when it gets to the point where as much as half the male population and about one-eighth of the female population (which would be about one-third of the total population) is on the autism spectrum?  If there is still no pharmaceutical treatment or cure for autism at that point, we will be living in an awful world!  Indeed, we are living in an awful world anyway, because of many other things that are happening, but it will be even more awful if and when as much as one-third or one-half of the world’s entire population is autistic!

If you believe that there will one day be a solution to the autism epidemic, please feel free to let me know what it might be.  And if you don’t believe that there will ever be a solution, please feel free to let me know how the world is going to deal with it.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Davies

I was deeply struck by my own experience of this plight of the intellect to not know the deeper meaning behind the functional nature of illness. If you have a tumor, the Allopathic Doctor, will over-recommend surgery and some form of chemical warfare. However, he will not ask you why you feel you’ve chosen the path of “the un-lived life” or why you may “rescue others to the exclusion of yourself” as a function of your evolution. He also won’t suggest that your beliefs be looked at so that a re-infection can be avoided.

If I never saw illness, I would not know that fever in a child produces the most amazing growth spurt afterwards. I’ve witnessed Autistic children speak for the first time after a bout of a healthy fever. I’ve listened to many women, who have come off their anti-depressants, tell me they feel they’ve missed years of feeling any of their emotions. One women cried at a movie for the first time in twenty years after she stopped taking the pill. I had one fellow, during Heilkunst treatment, quit his job, leave his wife and strike out as an Art Consultant as he resolved his cancer state of mind. En route, though, he had many bouts of tears and anguish.

As a Heilkunst Physician, we have now come to the heretical understanding that a child has childhood diseases in order to become healthier. It is evident that without this function, the child cannot easily or effectively accomplish the complete adaptation process to fully enter the adult order. Without this capacity to navigate through the adversity of illness, he can not wholly learn to discern the promise of continual change without pause and suffering.

Tylenol and Vaccines suppress this spiritual mapping to becoming a whole, generative and creative being in the face of healthy adversity at a time in their lives when they are meant to develop this function. The Allopathic model simply can’t take the heat!

Summarizing in conclusion, H. Muller-Eckhard says:
“Every childhood disease has a meaning and an immanent
function that can become active in many directions. Quite often a
childhood disease is an irreplaceable help in life, which the child
cannot do without in many situations on the difficult journey out
of his magic and mystical state of consciousness into the world of
the crass reality of the adult order. In all the well-meant protective
immunization against childhood diseases, especially against those
involving desquamation (the shedding of the outer layer of a surface), one thing seems to have been forgotten: with the childhood diseases that are “eliminated,” and whose appearance and arising is made impossible, the active and wholesome functions of these diseases are also taken from the child.”

In fact, Harris Coulter has even linked the criminal element to the suppressive nature of vaccines in his book, Vaccination, Social Violence and Criminality. I, too, had the toughest time shifting my own paradigm. Crawling out of my son’s own Autistic spectrum paradigm was the vehicle to knowing that the function of childhood illness is absolutely critical to a human being’s development. And with Heilkunst medicine, all of this can be accomplished without suffering or harm to the child.

E-mail from Trevor’s Mom after just 6 Heilkunst Treatments:

Just couldn’t wait until next Wed to tell you what a GREAT day Trevor had today. He woke up in great spirits with a huge appetite that lasted ALL day. He got everyone in the family involved in a pretend pirate game in which he declared that I was the captain and he and everyone else were the Mates. We have NEVER played pirates before so I don’t know where that came from. Later in the afternoon, Stephanie got him to play doctor and bandage a cut she had. He really got into character with that one too.

We went to playgroup at our church this morning and he brought a toy car along with him. I warned him that he would have to share it…which he normally would not do very willingly. She said that he would and sure enough, not only did he share…but he ENCOURAGED everyone to play with it…and came to me at one point dissapointed because no one else wanted to pay with his car…I quickly found a boy that wanted to play with it and he was happy again.

He ate a TON during snacktime at playgroup…this is in comparison to the past 2 Wed morning playgroups where he never even sat down at the snack table (the usual for him).

He was the first one there this morning and the last to leave. Not that I’m happy about what he ate…pretzels and graham crackers….but he did have SEVERAL helpings of each.

His energy level stayed high in the afternoon and he played well with Rachel (they usually CLASH). He had a swim lesson at 3pm and he did GREAT!! He could have focused more on the teachers instructions and his eye contact could have been better…but he did do everything that was asked of him once he listened or watched. Last Wed was his first lesson and he spent the entire 1/2 hour crying/screaming ” I want to go home” and never got into the water at all!!

He did not get as upset and throw things when he got frustrated trying to play a game this evening. Did not get upset when I left the house twice to drop off/pick up his sister. (Dad was home…but Trevor usually wants to go with me when I leave).

He just had smiles and giggles all day and was a lot of fun!!!

He was however VERY constipated all afternoon…with a blockage….had some liquidy bms leak around the blockage….but he did finally pass the LARGE BM at around 5 pm today. But, even with the constipation…he was in pretty good spirits….just could not SIT down at a right angle for most of the afternoon…poor guy!!

He did a funny thing at bedtime. He said, next time (meaning tomorrow night) could I have a baby bottle? I asked him why and he said because he liked the sippy thing. Interesting…. He did LOVE his bottles and we had lots of trouble giving them up!!!

Well…I knew you said we’d see rapid improvements with the addition of my treatment! Wow! I really think that ever since the MMR remedy, he has been improving in so many areas very rapidly. As for me….I’ve lost 8 lbs so far!! I’m under 200 and have no plans to ever got back up!!! I’m thrilled. I find this diet pretty easy to stick with….I do miss carbs…but if I just drink the Raspberry Leaf tea when I have a craving, it takes care of it.

I’m looking forward to Trevor‘s appointment next Wed!!

Many Blessings,

TL

Allyson McQuinn, DMH: I have seen Trevor for only 6 visits so far and his improvements have been monumental and we have focussed almost solely on clearing each vaccination booster/trauma using the principles of Heilkunst. When I first began working with Trevor, he did not make eye contact, he constantly flapped his arms, and had many patterns of a ritualistic nature. He would answer questions like, “How are you?” with, “My name is Trevor.” His Mom has been stellar to work with regarding the Regimen component as much of this jurisdiction had already been addressed, which would contribute to the greater resolution in the jurisdiction of lawful medicine we have come to expect in this case.

and thank Jordan for my birthday wishes – let him know I spent my special day in Holland, and it was fascinating there.

I really appreciate your bringing up the phenomenal importance of the treatment of the mother in cases like this – the parents need to be treated, yes, but primarily the mother in almost every instance.

Jordan is the second wonderful guy on this list who has just done his Bar Mitzvah – Benji Weizman (Sandra’s son, and yes, Sandra is being treated too) did his recently as well, and I send my love and congratulations to Jordan.

And love to you,

Patty

Dear Rudi,

Thank you for your reply.  I remember living this paradigm you describe, myself.  I was the frantic, terrified, Mom of an Autistic babe.  Every week I would try someone else’s piece of advice in an attempt to address my son, Jordan’s, symptoms.  One month it was glycerin suppositories and Lansoyl for the chronic constipation, one week it was putting his baby seat on the dryer to try and get the infernal colic to stop, for a year it was a high fibre diet with lots of water that just bound him more tightly as the bolous leaked down his legs.  It was Speech pathologists, the crushing labels of ADD, and oodles of micro-management techniques that only worked to a degree and then plateaued. I started to feel crushed by it all.  This was over 10 years ago in Canada, so the Allopathic medical system was a whole lot less saavy about offering gluten free diets and expensive regimen protocol.  It is big business now.

The biggest thing that has shifted in my son Jordan’s life is me.  Jordan is 13 and 3/4 now and there is no residue of the Autistic tendencies left.  Jordan just had his Bar Mitzvah last weekend and carried the 2 hour service in Hebrew, with interpretation, while studying the Renaissance and Physics at his Waldorf School.  I was blown away watching him straddle these responsibilities for the past year without a blip on our landscape.

I am interested to see my own patients, living the same phenomena that I also once lived.  My intellect ran amuck with every suggestion, the guilt I suffered at never feeling I was doing the right thing (or enough of it), made me perfect prey.  This Cancer state of mind that I lived in, pushed my child front and centre to where our whole lives revolved around him and his needs.  Actually, I’ve come to realize just how much this state of mind contributes to the Autism condition itself.  That was the hard part … recognizing that I was contributing to his pathology.  Ouch!

Now, parents, just like me come to my Clinic and request that I fix the child.  And yes, I am quick to recognize that very often the herbs, vitamins and other protocols are just masking the core condition.  Often these measures are just seemingly holding the case in good stead, however, the parents report that one slip up and the symptoms all come rushing in again.  The hyper-vigilance the parent has to up-hold in these cases is mind blowing.  The problem, is that, as you mention, it is not based on science and clear realizable principles.  It is all just another exhausting shot in the dark.

As a function of evolution, we are leaving the Cancer state of mind.  It would seem that infectious diseases are decreasing organically of their own volition.  We are moving more into Psycho-spiritual diseases like ADD, ADHD and Autism and the Allopathic machine is posturing to mop up the bloody mess it made in the first place.  It is interesting to me that I got caught in this matrix as well.  My Cancer state of mind (the un-lived life/rescuing others to the exclusion of self) actually was a big part of precipitating Jordan’s Autistic issues.  I was a microcosm of the larger universal phenomena … and I had no clue at the time.

Like you, Rudi, I feel called to study the phenomenological nature of disease.  However, it still blows my mind that the parent I used to be is the same state of mind of the parent with the Autistic child sitting before me in my Clinic day after day.  I too bowed to authority and needed to wake up, my false ego was compromised by anybody who seemingly had the answers or who appeared an iota more intelligent than me.  I had no resonance organ or discernment.  In fact, my patients are far more intelligent than I was.

Most of us were taught en masse in the 60′s and 70″s the same garbage our neighbor was sucking up next to us in the sorting machine called modern education.  Allopathic education is solely designed to create more educators and if you don’t fit the mold, suck it up or live into failure and adversity!  This is no longer the case as we come into the age of individuation, led by these Autistic babes, who demand to be taught one on one creatively, who have a hard time digesting grains and sugars (cheap cash crops born out of the Cancer industrial age), and even their individual traits and gifts are a statement of this new path of evolution.  I wonder if Autistic children are God’s hidden agenda to get us to change.  

The Autistic matrix that I lived is a testament to this larger phenomena.  Jordan and I were just caught in this transition in evolution reflected in our diseases.  I was Cancer (and every other Miasm), he was Syphilis/Lyme (and every other Miasm).  I know this is simplification, but our remediation with Heilkunst turned out to be simple, and permanent.  No more running after white rabbits down holes leading to dark dead ends. I remember,  Rudi, when you and Patty would challenge me to get on with my life and stop using my children as the excuse for not fulfilling my destiny.  You both pushed me to speak up, lecture, study, write a book, and open my own Heilkunst Clinic.  I finally get the value behind the whole price of admission … from all angles through my own patients.  

Oh yeah, and Jordan says hello and sends his birthday wishes to Patty.

Love,
Ally

I was interested to read recent comments about the different 
experiences regarding different protocols and products. This is 
something that comes up quite often and underlines as major problem 
with the current health field – the conventional one doesn’t work 
except in extreme emergencies, and the alternatives don’t provide any 
real way of determining what will work for whom – from DAN!, 
alternative MDs in general down through the various modalities found 
in the growing natural health field (there are hundreds), not to 
mentions the thousands of products on offer for every condition 
imaginable.

What parents, and even practitioners are left with if they leave the 
conventional model is “let’s try this and see if it works.” This is 
called empiricism, which is not very far off from nihilism (the 
disquieting belief that nothing really works, so just try something 
so long as it is not toxic, and since it is all probably placebo, 
almost anything will work at some point).

Conventional medicine has a very logical model based on germs as the 
cause of disease, and on various bio-chemical markers as indicators 
of causes (such as cholesterol levels, blood pressure, platelets, 
BUN, etc. – there are literally hundreds of biochemical tests). The 
problem is that the underlying postulates used are themselves false - 
with a few exceptions, most microbes are not disease causing, but 
part of the body’s response to a disease and thus, part of the 
attempt to heal; and biochemistry is also reflecting the efforts of 
the body to heal – thus, if cholesterol is high, it is because the 
body is trying to fix a problem. Much of conventional medicine 
outside the realm of true emergencies (what we see on ER, or other 
hospital oriented shows in dramatic cases, usually involving surgery) 
is really the application of a “shoot the messenger” approach. Let’s 
take a typical example: a vaccination is followed by an inflammation 
in the ear, which is then treated with antibiotics on the assumption 
there must be bacteria there and these are causing the problem. If 
bacteria are there, they are part of the clean-up effort involving 
toxins caused by the vaccination (usually eliminated in children via 
the upper respiratory tract including the eustachian tubes). The 
antibiotics (literally “anti-life) kill the beneficial bacteria and 
also, via stimulation of the adrenalin system, kill any pain and shut 
down the inflammatory healing reaction (fever and redness in the 
ear). On the surface, it seems to “work” but underneath it stops any 
healing process and sets up a sub-chronic process of disease that 
weakens the child’s overall health over time.

The DNA! protocol is an extension of the bio-medical model. The 
techniques used are not approved in the orthodox approach, but 
essentially microbes are seen as the enemy and there is heavy 
reliance on biochemical measurements. Again, the use of anti-biotics 
and anti-fungals can be justified in extreme cases where such 
microbes (part of the healing effort of the body) themselves threaten 
to cause a problem (a secondary problem, not the primary one), and in 
some cases the initial response is positive, but underneath, the real 
causes of the problem are not addressed. The drugs themselves have 
negative effects. As for the use of other substances to try to 
balance what the biochemical measurements suggest are out of balance, 
such as B-12 or some amino-acid, this may provide improvements in 
some cases, but again does not address the underlying cause of the 
problem.

Other approaches are generally in the same vein – they try to address 
a symptom, but do not generally get at the underlying cause. They 
need to be repeated to maintain benefits, or they can only go so far. 
The problem is also that no one has a clear idea as to what therapy 
or technique should be use on what child at what point in treatment. 
So long as the therapy, technique or product is in itself relatively 
safe, there is little risk. However, there is no real map for the 
parent as to what to use when for whom.

Heillkunst seeks to provide that map. That is not to say that it is 
perfect or even has the whole map, but the essence of Heilkunst is to 
eventually provide the principles so that a rational, truly causal 
system of medicine can be established that will enable practitioners 
to evaluate each case and then be able to identify the necessary 
remedies, supplements, therapies etc. for each case, and also the 
timing of such treatments.

Right now, all we have is anecdotal information as to a product or 
therapy, but almost any such product or therapy can supply positive 
examples. It is not really a question whether something works, but 
how does it work (is it palliative, suppressive or curative) and on 
whom will it work. Empiricism simply means that success is a function 
of luck as the chances of finding what will work for you or your 
child is determined by how much time and resources you have to try 
the 600 or so therapies and the possibly 6,000 products out there. It 
is a bit like buying a ticket in the lottery.

Health should not be a matter of chance, but of science. Science can 
be slow, but it is more certain in the end, much like the fable of 
the tortoise and the hare. Heilkunst does take patience, but in most 
cases, that patience pays off consistently in most cases. Again, that 
is not to dismiss the cases of improvements by chance, but simply to 
say that that’s not really any way to run a true medical system.

Dr. Samual Hahnmann defined health in his Organon of The Medical Art as, “In the healthy human state, the spirit-like life force (autocracy) that enlivens the material organism as dynamis, governs without restriction and keeps all parts of the organism in admirable, harmonious, vital operation, as regards to both feelings and functions, so that our indwelling, rational spirit can freely avail itself of this living, healthy instrument for the higher purposes of our existence.” Wilhelm Reich described health as being “orgastically potent” in all ways, including in the boudoir.

The thing is that a well-trained Physician will generally know how to cause more symptoms than less, especially in the short-term. For example, I had a 3 year old autistic boy start Heilkünst treatment. One week later I got a phone call that he was having his first high, spiked, fever complete with glassy eyes, red shining face and ears, and slight delirium. Two days later he spoke his first word, “Dora”, while watching Dora, The Explorer. It was interesting to me that Reich referred to Deadly Orgone Energy as , “DOR,” which is what is in the allopathic vaccines. Fever functions to download a “healthy ego” by building the auto-immune system.

I had a fellow with Cancer report to me that his five aggressive tumors actually increased in volume, lost their shape and drained green and yellow pus for days after starting Heilkünst treatment. I can’t tell you how excited I was to hear this. Three out of the four tumors were gone within in the first three weeks of his initial consultation. He tells me his business is picking up. He was considered in Palliative Care. Heilkunst follows the direction of cure based on Hering’s Law, “from the inside out.”

I had another woman tell me how she was feeling “worse” this month. When I asked her to define “worse,” she said, “I’m angry all the time, I’m yelling at my husband, my children, even my boss at work.” Prior, she suffered chronic throat and TMJ (Tempero-mandibular joint) issues, suffering her frustration in silence, not speaking her truth, rarely asking for what she needed. Narayan Singh in his book Messages From The Body says TMJ results from, “… intensely repressed and suppressed rage at their situation which they dare not express.” Her jaw pain is gone. Heilkünst doesn’t moralize whether she is better or worse, but the phenomena are understood, and we repeat these results daily.

Further into Heilkünst treatment, I will often hear patients saying things like, “I’ve left my high tech position to be a birthing coach full time,” or “my marriage isn’t serving me any longer, I need to get out,” or “I’ve begun making healthy cookies and selling them to other Moms for their kids’ lunches,” or “I need to move to the mountains as I don’t resonate with the flat, cold climate of Ottawa.” Often when I ask these individuals about their initial symptoms, they’ve completely forgot about them (sometimes they are gone and sometimes not) but their relationship to them has wholly shifted. They’re getting on with the “higher purposes of their existence” by following the direction of cure, “from the inside out.” And that is no red Herring! Hering get it? Mmmmm … ok maybe not.
