• Over-acidity is a significant factor in disease

Adapted from an article by Dr. A. Kracke, N.D.

The Strophanthus genus of climbing plants is found in tropical Africa and Asia and produces a milky secretion. For hundreds of years, the natives made poisonous substances from ripe seeds of these plants, using them when preparing arrowheads for hunting.

In the middle of the 19th century, Livingstone brought the first reports of these plant extracts to Europe, and it was his companion Kirk who drew the attention of doctors to the effects of the components on the heart. Soon a Scottish pharmacologist succeeded in isolating a water soluble, but extremely poisonous glycoside, from strophanthus seeds.

The Pleo Stroph remedy is a 4X g-Strophantin extract prepared from Stropahnthus gratus. Strophanthin is an endogenous substance produced in the hypophysis. Strophanthin is involved in the regulation of the balance of salt and water. In instances of adrenal weakness, Pleo Stroph can delay the sodium pump, reducing myocardial work and thereby supporting a weak senile heart.

Together with other substances which affect the heart, strophanthin is numbered among the cardiac glycosides. The cardiac glycosides have a common structure – they consist of a basic steroid framework which is a compound of an aglycon and a glycoside sugar.

Cardiac glycosides have a positive inotropic and bradycardiac effect. They increase the output of the heart by inhibiting the Na+/K+ ATPase of the plasma membrane. This means a strengthened contraction of the cardiac muscle (positive inotropic effect). At the same time the concentration of intracellular calcium decreases, reducing the membrane’s stationary potential and dropping the rate of conduction (bradycardiac effect).

When very small doses of cardiac glycosides are administered, there is no positive inotropic effect; only the sodium pump (Na+/K+ ATPase) is stimulated, which explains the marvelous successes of homeopathic preparations with g-strophanthin.

Strophanthin has a predominantly systolic action, as opposed to the diastolic action of digitalis. This makes Pleo Stroph an excellent remedy for patients with pronounced cardiac dilation where no further improvement can be achieved due to a depression of the diastole.

Pleo Stroph tablets are recommended in acute conditions at one tablet every half hour to hour, and up to 12 doses per day.

86% success rate for depression, stress, anxiety disorders and trauma

By Terry Cotter, B.Sc.

In 2010, I was at a conference in Las Vegas attended by over 3,000 MDs. We decided to show a booth there because many were Integrated Medicine specialists and I was keen to show them developments from Europe.

I thought the belle of the ball would be our Pleo Sanum products – replacements for destructive antibiotic therapies. However, the star of the show was our Swiss treatment for Psychosomatic Disorders; we call it PSE (Psychosomatic Energetics). Essentially, treatment consists of non-toxic complex homeopathics that build upon Bach Flower remedy ideas from the last century.

A recent clinical study involved 10 German clinics (Townsend Letter Journal – May, 2011). 1,011 patient cases were tracked for over two years and an astounding 86 per cent success rate was reported for depression, stress, anxiety disorders and trauma. The North American toolbox is filled with psychotropic drugs – mood altering, often sedative and sometimes destructive. Motivated by evidence we have seen abroad, we are offering ‘a better way’ for patients and their doctors.

When we apply the Swiss PSE methodology, we utilize a REBA device to verify and quantify the presence of an emotional or energetic disturbance. Measurements are charted and a practitioner can determine suitable action if required. The appropriate, non-toxic complex homeopathic is selected from among 33 available combinations and after eight to 12 weeks, the patient returns to confirm progress.

This October, I met with the REBA inventor, physicist Dieter Jossner. I asked about the workings of REBA to help me pass on the principles to educators and doctors. Dieter has been studying biophysics and subtle energy as a researcher and inventor for over 30 years. He now works in a rural Rheinau, Germany laboratory at a location selected for low EMF interference and lousy cell reception! Dieter discovered when one or more of the normal brainwave patterns receive an external intrusion of noise sufficient to disrupt quiet function (he calls it white noise) the result of the irritation is an involuntary and mild flinch of the thorax. The reaction is so subtle that a practitioner must watch for it using a biometric test to confirm a positive response and the patient often doesn’t know it’s happening.

Essentially the device is a low frequency noise generator. A signal amplifier activates a variable quartz oscillator. The output is processed in a digital noise generator where dis-harmonic frequencies (phase shifted to cause destructive interference) are created within selected frequency bands matching the Delta (1.5 – 4 Hz), Theta (5 – 8 Hz), Alpha (9 – 14 Hz) and Beta (15 – 40 Hz) waves. A signal splitter separates the frequency spectrum under study and the amplitude of the noise is adjusted upward until the patient responds or a negative test is affirmed.

Each of these bands of ultra low frequency are associated with their own behavioral and emotional capacities. The higher frequencies such as Alpha and Beta waves tend to be associated with higher physical activity, excitement, coordination and thought processing. The lower frequencies tend to be associated with meditation, introspection, relaxation, deep sleep and dreaming.

Much like a dog being sensitive to a dog whistle, the sensitivity to brainwave noise is unique to the weakened patient in close proximity to the REBA device. The output can also be detected by a listening device tuned to ultra-low frequencies. To an energetically weakened brain, the interference is like finger nails on a chalkboard.

Remember how we laughed watching dozens of students squirm and cover their ears when the teacher dragged their nails across the chalkboard? This is the power that carefully tuned sound can have on our brain and our physiology. In this case it’s helping us to help others.

• Autonomic Regulation

The second point is a little more subtle. Enderlein described an active colloidal element he called the symprotit that represented the essential building block of upward pleomorphic development within his theory. Using molecular techniques including immuno-fluorescence and electrophoresis, this author showed that colloidal masses visually observed in a fixed sample of blood were in fact nothing but hemoglobin, shed from erythrocytes due to physiological stress.

In response to the first observation, I turn to the ideas presented at the beginning of this paper. You can’t study new phenomena by looking at them exclusively in old ways. In another paper, I briefly present a theory which would, if correct, account for the apparently sudden appearance of a complex bacterial or fungal genome. In The Theory of Pleomorphic Provolution – Revisiting the Heresy of Spontaneous Generation – I propose that fully evolved organisms may devolve within a host, becoming an intelligent molecular and genetic system capable of reconstituting functional cells from the devolved, disassembled parts. I don’t know if the theory is correct, but I present substantial arguments showing how and why such an evolutionary outcome might actually be adaptive and physically possible.

As for the second objection, that Enderlein’s symprotits are merely hemoglobin, I question whether the points observed were actually those Enderlein would have seen as building blocks. The blood is full of many point-like forms. The only way I know to visually distinguish among them, without the use of molecular tagging techniques, is to watch for those points that develop more complex, membrane bound forms versus those points that don’t

Of the many thousands of points visible in a darkfield view of live blood, only a small number will become involved with membrane formation, and only a small number of those will continue to develop more complex tubular and branched forms suggestive of a cell forming process, or cytotropism. Even Enderlein distinguished between the symprotit and the mych – a change which could not be visually distinguished, but which could be discerned by a change in the function of the colloid.

Once last point bears mentioning, as it illustrates some of the possible pitfalls of working at the edge of a complex field of inquiry.

In Chapter 12 of her book, Cell Wall Deficient Bacteria – Stealth Pathogens, Dr. Lida Mattman considers the question of intra-erythrocytic parasites. She mentions that when blood samples are fixed using heat, subtle, cell wall deficient pleomorphic variants are usually destroyed, losing their distinctive shapes and becoming “indistinguishable from hemoglobin.” Even though the samples in the previous study were not heat fixed, and therefore not subject to this confusion, it still serves as a reminder that in the world of subtle observation, every detail counts.

Let me just close by saying that I am enthusiastic and supportive of any new research that sheds light onto these strange and wonderful processes. I would only request that as we uncover and share new information, we make the effort to explore everything we learn in the broadest possible context, so that we can creatively and responsibly integrate our knowledge into new models that move us closer, step by step, to embracing the beauty and complexity of the natural, living world. Thanks.

6. A set of hypotheses intended to explain the mechanics of pleomorphic transformation & isopathic regression

Finally, we come to the subject of Enderlein’s attempt to explain the biology of the many incredible phenomena he observed. Remember, Enderlein began his career as a zoologist, interested in the form, biology, and life processes of everything type of living thing. In many ways, it was this broad, inclusive view of the living Earth that positioned him to thinking outside the box, in a way far more integral and holistic than most of his fellow biologists.

But Enderlein, for all his brilliance, was in many ways limited by the level of biological knowledge available in his day. The existence of DNA was known, but its role in the heritablity of biological information was only a fringe hypothesis. Certainly, knowledge of the organization of DNA into genes, the mechanisms of gene expression and ribosomal protein synthesis, and most of the other basics of modern cellular biology were still far in the future. So when Enderlein refers to processes such as the universal urge for unification and the nationalization of multiple colloids into new forms, these terms may be descriptive of what is taking place, but they do not say very much that can be generalized into solid, biological principles as we currently understand them.

Contrary to some claims, however, Enderlein did perform detailed analyzes of the chemical composition and physical structure of the colloids and other pleomorphic forms he studied. He carefully noted the presence or absence of nucleic acids, the distribution of lipids and proteins at different layers of structure, etc. But again, the tools of the time were not sufficient for Enderlein to use this information to form a complete, comprehensive biology of pleomorphism.

Once again, I believe that we need to go back to the primary phenomena of pleomorphic reorganization and isopathic regression, and attempt to interpret them in a more universal way. As I’ve been urging for some time, this does not mean that we should simply deny the phenomena because they don’t fit with mainstream ideas. I have often made the joke that this is like insisting that a radio can’t possibly work, because when you open it up, you don’t find any tiny musicians inside. Or more to the point, like arguing that homeopathy can’t possibly work, because the solutions used are too diluted to contain any more of the original chemical substances. Visions of August Comte and the Theory of Eternal Limitations…

Rather than focusing on Enderlein’s notion that bacteria and fungi can arise from the fusion of “living colloids” and “reserve nutritional substances,” or that isopathic regression is really a form of bacterial sexual reproduction, I’d like to focus a bit on some of the phenomena themselves.

In mid-1800s, the remarkable French biologist and chemist Antoine Béchamp began a series of experiments that raised important questions about the nature and origins of life itself. Basically, Béchamp discovered that all the living organisms he studied, including plants and animals, left behind a colloidal residue after their death. Béchamp found that purified, sterile isolates of these colloid would give rise to living bacteria when added to certain other, non-cellular materials. Identical experiments, using the same materials except for the colloidal solutions never produced bacteria.

From these experiments, which spanned decades of active research, Béchamp came to the conclusion that these colloidal particles, which he called microzymas, were actually the physical basis of life – the fundamental carriers of what philosophers for years had called élan vital. Enderlein was aware of Béchamp’s earlier work, and tried to show that at least some of these microzymas were derived from the fungi Mucor racemosus and Aspergillus niger, as previously discussed. Enderlein used the term endobiont to describe such particles, and his observation of pleomorphic progression, culminating in either bacterial or fungal cells, was therefore completely consistent with Béchamp’s earlier discoveries. Again, it’s unfortunate that given the tools available to them, both Enderlein’s and Béchamp’s theories concerning these events were more descriptive than analytical.

What are the possibilities? First, all of these experiments, and many others like them, may have been contaminated with living materials including fungal or bacterial spores, or other non-standard forms, including cell wall deficient variants that can later revert to traditional morphologies. If so, it’s apparent that the living forms must have somehow depended upon the microzyma/endobiont preparations – since the same experiments, using the same materials, failed to produce living forms when these solutions were omitted. Even this would be a tantalizing outcome, rich with possibilities for important research.

Another possibility is that some microscopic organisms are able to persist for long periods of time (even hundreds of millions of years, in the case of Béchamp’s experiments with seabed chalk) as a “toolkit” of disassembled parts which later recombine to regenerate a living cell. I discuss this possibility in The Theory of Pleomorphic Provolution – Revisiting the Heresy of Spontaneous Generation. This hypothesis, part of a larger model called the Ambimorphic Paradigm, would explain many pleomorphic phenomena. Although this model corresponds closely to the outcome of many experiments, it has yet to be rigorously tested.

A recent paper on Enderlein claims to totally disprove the concept of bacterial cyclogeny, so central to his work. If I understand the author correctly, he makes two major points.

The first is that Enderlein didn’t understand the critical role of DNA in defining the identity of an organism. How, the author asks, can a complex genome appear as a microbe supposedly changes, sometimes within seconds, from something that didn’t already contain it?

was able to show that these non-cellular particles derived from cancerous tissue, could reliably induce a comparable cancer when injected into an otherwise healthy animal. This itself was a highly controversial finding. But more importantly, by studying the motility of the colloids he isolated from malignant tissue, Rife was able to develop an electronic method to suppress their activity – with the hope of destroying the associated cancer.

Rife created an optical microscope that was able to provide magnification of up to 30,000 diameters. Again, this was another radical achievement, flying in the face of conventional optical wisdom. In the 19th Century, the physicist Lord Rayleigh had demonstrated that conventional optical magnification was limited by the diffraction of light to about 2000 diameters. Today, we know that this is a simplistic analysis, and a number of revolutionary optical microscopes have been built that provide electron microscope type resolution using real-time optical methods. Ironically, Rife’s genius in constructing an “impossible” microscope later contributed to his chronic lack of credibility.

Film footage shot through one of Rife’s microscopes still exists (I have a copy from a documentary produced by Dutch television some years ago). It clearly shows how the motility of the cancer filtrate particles is destroyed by exposure to Rife’s device.

Working in association with a group of well-respected physicians and oncologists in the San Diego area, Rife’s theories and therapies were put to a rigorous test in 1934. In a laboratory set up on the grounds of the Scripps Ranch, now the Scripps Oceanographic Institute, the physicians selected a group of 16 terminal, inoperable cancer patients as willing “guinea pigs” for Rife’s radical methods.

Rife created a cancer isolate from each of these individuals, rich with the pathogenic colloids related to their tumors. He then used his microscope and his plasma wave device in tandem to calibrate the exact frequency of deactivation – known as the Mortal Oscillatory Rate, or MOR – for their particular cancers.

Each subject was exposed to the appropriate frequency for 2 minutes, every other day. After 30 days, 14 of the 16 subjects were judged to be completely free to cancer by the same panel of physicians who had previously declared them to be terminal and inoperable – by the medical standards of the day (and unfortunately, pretty much by our standards today as well). The other two, one of whom had a fist sized malignancy growing on his face, were given an additional 3 weeks or so of treatment. At the end of that time, they too were declared cured.

What happened in the aftermath of that stunning achievement is one of medicine’s darkest tragedies. It’s all been recorded elsewhere, so I won’t dwell on it here, but Rife, by all accounts an other-worldly innocent and multi-faceted genius, was persecuted, prosecuted, and driven into a total collapse from which he never truly recovered.
For this purposes of our discussion, it’s important to note that much of Rife’s work overlaps Enderlein’s in many important ways. Rife created extensive maps of pleomorphic transformation – including the observation that by carefully controlling theenvironment of only 10 pure bacterial cultures, he could induced an unlimited number of variations that at least mimics, if not duplicated, all known bacterial morphologies. He reported nutrient media sensitivities as small as 2 parts per million to trigger the expression of wildly different variants.

Rife also isolated filter passing particles, still erroneously referred to as viruses by many contemporary followers of this work, that could directly transmit diseases to a healthy organism, including cancer. Enderlein had done the same thing with tuberculosis, showing that pathogenic bacteria were not a precondition of infection, but rather, arose as a pleomorphic expression of a deeper process.

The major difference between Enderlein and Rife was Enderlein’s discovery of isopathic regression as a natural, down-regulating mechanism for the pathogenic phases of pleomorphic variation. In the absence of this knowledge, Rife developed electronic methods to destroy the activity and vitality of the underlying particles, and clearly demonstrated the elimination of the disease conditions that depended upon them.

One last note. In current research, a particle of protein known as the prion has been implicated in a class of illnesses known collectively as spongiform encephalopathies. These include scrapie in sheep, Creutzfeld-Jacob, fatal familial insomnia, and Kuru, the cannibal’s disease, in humans, and of course, the ever popular Mad Cow Disease. Several years ago, Dr. Stanley Pruisner won the Nobel Prize in medicine for his pioneering work in this field.

One thing that has been discovered about the prion and how it transmits disease, is that under certain conditions, a non-pathogenic form of the prion unfolds its shape, changing from a set of spiral helixes into a pleated sheet. In this form, the sheets bind together and create highly disturbed regions, primarily in the brain, that give rise to spongy regions of degeneration.

There are many conceptual similarities suggesting a possible linkage between Pruisner’s prions and the filter passing colloids described by Béchamp, Enderlein, Rife, and so many others. I have written about this similarity elsewhere, and will amplify on the subject in the future. The most immediately relevant point is the recent discovery that the pathogenic, unfolded form of the prion may actually be able to return to its non-pathogenic, spiral state. This is a distinct departure from the previous belief that once changed, the prion will forever remain unfolded and pathogenic.

And what have researchers found that will cause the prion to change back? Here’s the newsflash. It’s accomplished by exposing the pathogenic prion to an identical prion still in it’s original, benign form. In other words, it’s an isopathic regression, so similar in its general features to the process described by Enderlein in 1916, that I have a hard time believing it’s just a coincidence. There is something deep, wonderful, and truly fundamental going on here.

This recent finding demonstrates that wholesale dismissal of Enderlein’s work – however inadequate some parts of it may be – will take us no closer to the truth than will blind, unquestioning acceptance of what the great man and his colleagues described 85 years ago. Science is a living process.

I cannot agree with those who believe that Enderlein’s success with these isopathic remedies was essentially a fortuitous accident. There is too much “closure” between Enderlein’s empirical observations, the microbiological models he based on them, his deliberate effort influence specific microbiological events predicted by his theories, and the amazing success of the remedies he prepared by following this paradigm. On the other hand, I fully expect that these remedies also have other modes of action, and that a great deal can be learned from studying them from different perspectives, and through the filter of different ideas. My hope is that we will be able to pool all our knowledge and discoveries into a deeper, more encompassing and holistic vision, rather than setting up an on-going competition.

A quick analogy from the history of science. For many years, physicists struggled with the question of whether light was a particle, or a wave. Newton seemed to show conclusively that it was a particle. Then Huygens conducted experiments that powerfully demonstrated the wave nature of light. Then Einstein, while unraveling the photoelectric effect, once again powerfully demonstrated the quantization of light as a particle. It took the development of quantum mechanics to find a system in which the discrete, particle like “lumping” of light could co-exist with the distributed, field-like wave nature of light. Neither belief was wrong – but we needed to find a broader conceptual system in which both aspects could co-exist. I refer to this phenomenon as “Either and…” in place of our typical “Either or…” thinking. The ability to live in the world of “Either and…” is a hallmark of creativity in all fields.

5. Clinical research and experience documenting the efficacy and modes of action of the isopathic remedies

In his development of isopathic remedies, Enderlein sought to stimulate the body’s natural ability to maintain a system of checks and balances, keeping the degenerative, illness producing progression of pleomorphic forms within bounds. As stated above, practitioners who have extensive clinical experience using the remedies seem to share a universal agreement that they are indeed very powerful and extraordinarily useful. But is there any evidence that these fungal isopathic remedies actually employ the biological mechanisms suggested by Enderlein, at least, as part of their action?

Speaking from my own experience, I can point to massive amounts of corroborating evidence from the many thousands of experiments I have performed using a live blood analysis technique called DIAD Microscopy.

DIAD, which stands for Differential Isopathic Assessment in Darkfield, uses a standard darkfield microscope, much the same as Enderlein would have used. As an historical note, darkfield illumination was pioneered in 1909 by Bausch and Lomb as a tool for colloid chemists. While we tend to think of “vintage” scientific instruments as quaint relics of a bygone era, some of the early darkfield microscopes were optically magnificent, and used arc lamps equivalent to a modern 1000W illuminator.

The way in which DIAD departs from traditional darkfield analysis is somewhat analogous to the differences between a standard X-ray and a CAT scan. The CAT scan takes many different images, each one from a different angle, and then combines them to produce a final, 3-D image. With DIAD, we prepare multiple samples of live blood, but each one, except for a control sample, is mixed with a standardized, isotonic solution of one of the Enderlein colloidal formulas.

Now, when this formula is introduced to the body, we expect it to have the effect of isopathically regressing the more complex, pathogenic forms within its sphere of action. But on the microscope slide, something entirely different happens. Personally, I believe that the colloids added to the slide act as binding sites for compatible substances already present in the subject’s blood. Under a variety of circumstances, potentially pathogenic instances of these substances contribute to the in vitro creation of markers corresponding to an in vivo tendency for pathogenic progression.

Like a CAT scan, each of the DIAD slides contains important information, but it is the integration of multiple slides that reveals what’s really happening within the subject’s internal ecological system. Each analysis is multi-dimensional, and takes into account the magnitude, rapidity, biological complexity, and progressive tendency for the given species. In a full analysis, this process is repeated for at least eight pleomorphic families, as compared to control slide with the subject’s native blood. From this wealth of information, an extremely precise program of biological therapy can be engineered, and perhaps more importantly, tracked to confirm that the outward reduction of symptoms is related to a deep set of inward biological shifts.

It is this follow-up capability where I have seen the most convincing empirical corroboration of the Enderlein doctrine of isopathic regression. The in vitro development of pathogenic markers will steadily decline for those species that are treated isopathically. At the same time, we usually see more of the developmental stages that Enderlein identified in the regulatory series, primarily colloid thecits. Most often, the untreated species will not decline as dramatically, if at all, and if they present membrane bound spheres, they tend to be populated with attached points – rather than the clear, simple spheres associated with regulator development.

For those species under treatment, it is typical to first see an increased quantity of less well organized material in the blood – presumably debris and degraded forms from the breaking down and clearing of more highly organized, pathogenic stages elsewhere in the body. Over time, this outflow almost always decreases, resulting in an overall reduction of both the quantity and complexity of the response. As we move through a logical series of isopathic treatments, we see this phenomenon play out over and over again, with enormous consistency.

Besides the evidence from extensive DIAD observations, it’s interesting to compare the Enderlein model with clinical successes from other researchers, working in other ways. In particular, during the 1920s and early 1930s, Royal Rife also isolated miniscule, filter passing entities from blood and other tissues. Rife’s major focus was on cancer, and he

implicate all of the variations of Mucor and Aspergillus beyond a certain, low level of developmental complexity.

Enderlein asserted that in their most highly devolved forms, the colloids derived from Mucor contributed to the processes of blood clotting. Enderlein believed that the introduction and colloidal dissociation of Mucor created the evolutionary preconditions needed for our ancestors to develop extensive, highly complex vascular systems. The capacity to seal off circulation at the site of an injury opened up the possibility for extensive, peripheral circulation of nutrients, immune agents, and informational materials, such as neurotransmitters, to the evolving body. Without this type of self-healing capability, we would not have been able to generate enough evolutionary stability to grow in this way.

At an empirical level, Enderlein’s efforts to influence the regression of Mucor within the body often have a profound effect on cardiovascular health – increasing circulation, decreasing cardiac strain, clearing ischemic damage, etc. Correlates of these effects are easily seen with various types of microscopy, and are particular evident using DIAD Ecological Microscopy (Differential Isopathic Assessment in Darkfield) – an advanced form of live blood microscopy in which native blood is mixed with a variety of fungal colloids, and the resulting changes are compared and analyzed.

Enderlein also believed that the dissociated colloids from Aspergillus influenced the formation of dense bone tissue and its relationship to other forms of connective tissue, and is similarly associated with the evolutionary rise of endoskeletal development. Enderlein believed that Aspergillus niger was the pleomorphic culminant (that is, the mostly highly developed form) of the family that include Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and its proper regulation was therefore especially helpful in tubercular and paratubercular disturbances. In a fascinating series of experiments, Enderlein was able to induce acute, full-blown cases of tuberculosis in healthy animals by injecting them with bacteria-free ultra-filtrates of sputum taken from individuals with tuberculosis.

It is difficult to determine, without recapitulating the core of Enderlein’s 40 years of careful laboratory study with modern methods, which specific aspects of his thinking on co-evolutionary dynamics might be correct. But at the level of his over-arching vision, more and more contemporary work supports the thrust of his perceptions.

3.The discovery & description of a pleomorphic down-regulating mechanism, which Enderlein called isopathic regression and…

4. The development of therapeutic remedies purportedly based on the phenomenon of isopathic regression

It’s helpful to consider these two points in tandem:

In 1916, while studying the typhoid bacillus, Enderlein first noted the remarkable phenomenon that was to become a cornerstone of all his work in microbiology. Enderlein

observed that occasionally, a tiny body attached itself to the wall of the bacterium, and after a moment’s contact, the tubular bacillus simply disappeared. Enderlein was able to observe this phenomenon repeatedly in many different cultures, and soon generalized the phenomenon to including other microbes as well. He came to the conclusion that the chain of pleomorphic variants for every species contained its own regulator form, able to reverse the upward progression by causing the complete dissociation of the higher form. Since, according to Enderlein, the regulators worked within their own developmental series, he dubbed the phenomenon isopathic regression.

Painstakingly tracking the life history of the tiny regulator form, which he dubbed the spermit due to its sperm-like flat disk head and oscillating tail, Enderlein found that the it followed a distinct developmental series that was substantially the same for all species. This series begins with the appearance of a spherical membrane, typically about 2 to 4 microns in diameter – or about a quarter to half the diameter of a human red blood corpuscle. Some of these spheres subsequently develop tiny projections, which can eventually multiply to coat the entire membrane. At a later point, the membrane can open, spilling a swarm of spermits into the surrounding medium.

Enderlein called these three developmental stages the colloid thecit, the dioekothecit, and the spermit, respectively. Enderlein analyzed the characteristics of the biological terrain favorable to the emergence of these regulators, and his findings tend to match the teachings of all forms of natural healing. He found that excess acidity in the tissues, resulting in a compensatory alkalemia in the blood, inhibits the formation of the fragile dioekothecits and their regulatory spermits. This is one part of the rationale for using the appropriate form of various organic acids in therapy, such as L(+) lactic acid. Enderlein was also convinced that an excess of animal protein in the diet contributed to the suppression of regulator formation as well.

By isolating various fungal culminants from human tissues and body fluids, Enderlein was able to study the process of pleomorphic progression and isopathic regression in his laboratory. Later in his career, he was able to isolate specific fractions from these fungi that he believed would, in vivo, enhance the formation of the appropriate, much needed regulators. While great controversy has always existed about Enderlein and his fungal isopathic remedies, the thousands of practitioners who have experience with them know that they are highly effective, and often influence physical conditions that are difficult or impossible to heal with other methods.

The actual, underlying biology of isopathic treatment is open to debate. Many of us who use the remedies in a clinical setting have observed that they seem to have multiple layers of action. In my experience, some of these actions closely correspond to the phenomena elaborated by Enderlein. In fact, with DIAD Microscopy, these correspondences can be clearly seen and used to precisely guide a régime of biological therapy. On the other hand, the remedies frequently seem to have other effects that cannot be easily explained in terms of regulator formation and isopathic regression.

• An Open Letter On Pleomorphic Microbiology part 2

Enderlein’s work in pleomorphism can be broadly divided into the following six elements:

1.  Empirical mapping of pleomorphic relationships for various species of bacteria and fungi
2.  A theoretical vision of how pleomorphic partnerships influenced our mammalian evolution
3.  The discovery & description of a pleomorphic down-regulating mechanism, called isopathic regression
4.  The development of therapeutic remedies based on the phenomenon of isopathic regression
5.  Clinical research & experience documenting the efficacy and modes of action of the isopathic remedies
6. A set of hypotheses intended to explain the mechanics of pleomorphic transformation and isopathic regression

In my estimation, the first five of these elements retain much of their value in the present day. It is the sixth element, namely Enderlein’s attempts to explain the underlying biological mechanisms of pleomorphism, that hold up least well. In Enderlein’s day, beginning with his first rigorous observations in 1916 and continuing through the 1950s, few tools existed for the kind of molecular, cellular, and genetic analyses Enderlein would have required to move his work into a deeper analytical context. Today, with these tools widely available, I can only hope that we will have the discipline to penetrate the first five elements of the Enderlein opus with creativity and vision.

Each of these elements deserves a complete treatment. Within the brief scope of this paper, let me just make a few comments, and expand upon them in later writings.

1. Empirical mapping of pleomorphic relationships for various species of bacteria and fungi

Hundreds of researchers, including Enderlein, have created detailed developmental maps, tracking how various bacterial species change under different environmental conditions. The quote from Almquist at the beginning of this paper places the magnitude of this quest in context. After 21 years of intense and careful study, Almquist concluded that it would be presumptuous to think that we could ever know all the adaptive variations available to a single bacterial species. If you pick up a current copy of Lida Mattman’s book Cell Wall Deficient Bacteria, you will find chapter after chapter detailing bacterial variability, including notes on molecular, metabolic, and genetic changes. Unlike Enderlein, Mattman has had access to modern techniques, including electron microscopy, immunofluorescence, PCR and other molecular assessment techniques.
A unique character of Enderlein’s work, however, is that he was able to focus on several specific, highly consistent patterns of pleomorphic transformation with critical impact on human health. Enderlein identified two forms he dubbed endobionts, colloids he believed to be derived from a long history of co-evolutionary interactions between mammals and the mold fungi Mucor racemosus and Aspergillus niger. According to Enderlein, the endobionts function as Janus-faced particles, capable of switching from a beneficial, symbiotic role within a healthy internal terrain, to a destructive, degenerative role as various physiological factors within the body degrade. All of Enderlein’s later therapeutic work was based on observing and learning to reverse this shift.

Perhaps the most controversial aspect of Enderlein’s account of pleomorphism is the transition from bacterial to fungal form. Some critics have suggested that Enderlein did not observe the emergence of actual fungi, but rather, of filamentous bacterial variants that resemble fungus. The shift from the bacterial prokaryote, with its DNA arranged in free floating loops within the cytoplasm, to the fungal eukaryote, with its genetic material highly organized and bound within a nuclear membrane, is in fact a huge biological transition.

However, the work of Dr. Lynn Margulis and others has given substantial weight to the notion that all eukaryotic cells (those belonging to animals, plants, fungi, and protoctists) stem from the ancient fusion of multiple prokaryotes, forming a single, more complex type of cell. In this scenario, each different type of bacterium contributed a specialized function to the merged community, which in turn morphed back into a single, highly “educated” cell. It’s interesting to speculate that the development of the membrane bounded eukaryotic nucleus was a primitive immune system response, establishing a steep boundary to protect the more successful genetic admixtures from additional fusion events. The idea that eukaryotes such as fungi arose from the merging of multiple bacteria, for me at least, makes the possibility of a pleomorphic, developmental link between bacteria and fungi more palatable.

2. A theoretical vision of how pleomorphic partnerships influenced mammalian evolution

For me, the most remarkable part of Enderlein’s vision was his sensitivity to fact that obligant microbes can greatly affect the evolutionary development of their hosts. Remember, Enderlein began work in the field of pleomorphic microbiology just 59 years after Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution. With the biological world focused outward, thinking in terms of accidental mutations and their reinforcement through the process of natural selection, it required an amazing perspicacity to look inward and understand that the interior of the body also represented an evolutionary domain.
Even though Enderlein observed and documented the pleomorphic changes and regulatory influences of many bacteria including pathogens like the typhoid bacillus, he came to believe that the devolved colloids from Mucor racemosus and Aspergillus niger were special in a variety of ways. Unlike the pathogenic species associated with acute and often fatal illness, Enderlein believed that these two fungi had a long term history of development within the line of mammalian descent, and that our shared evolutionary history exerted a powerful influence on both host and obligant.
First of all, Enderlein discovered that the pleomorphic variants of most bacteria were benign. In general, one, or at most two of the variants of even the most pathogenic species were virulent within the mammalian body. However, Enderlein was able to

Dr. Brad Harding M.D. will present how Isopathic treatment is of great clinical utility in reducing susceptibility to,
modulation and treatment of intrinsic and triggered autoimmunity. It can allow us to recover from acute microbial infection/imbalance with reduced sequellae which often perpetuate symptoms. He will discuss his primary strategy in
“reconditioning” or normalizing altered immunity by stimulating with “normal” selected antigens, which leads to symptom reduction and regulatory balance.

• Over-acidity is a significant factor in disease

These factors include gaps, cracks, fissures, underground waterways, curry grids, global or Hartmann grids and Benker cubes. It is believed that physical (gamma) radiation causes the illnesses attributed to geopathic stress.

These illnesses arise due to an interference of cell communication, resulting in an improper functioning of the body, impediment of the body’s ability to heal itself and
impairs the autonomic nervous system and immune system.Upon a positive test, therapy includes Geovita drops and changing the position of the bed.
For nearly one in three chronic conditions and virtually all patients with cancer there is evidence of a significant geopathy present.

How to Diagnose Geopathic Stress

• Cannot measure it directly with physical instruments
• Can detect it through:
•   Applied kinesiology/muscle testing
•   REBA Testing
•   Vega testing

Using the Geovita test vial, it is possible to:

• • Determine if a patient is exposed to geopathy*
• • Identify which part of their body is affected

*A person’s sleeping (bed) location is the most important factor in determining and avoiding a geopathy.

A Geovita vial is always the first vial to use when testing with the REBA test. Since geopathic stress contributes between 30% and 40% of all chronic conditions, eliminating it adds 30% more success rate to your patients!!
Once a patient has been identified as being exposed to geopathic stress, the most important thing to do is move the bed location. After moving the bed, the Geovita remedy may be taken to essentially cleanse the body of the harmful geopathic energy which has built up.

Symptoms that can occur with geopathic stress:

• Sleeping disorders and nightmares
• Children falling out of their beds
• Feeling worn out and tired in the morning
• Chronic fatigue syndrome
• Rheumatic pains and fibromyalgia
• Autonomic disorders like sweating or freezing
• Arrhythmias
• Migraines, tension headaches
• Muscle cramps
• No progress despite ‘proper’ treatment
• Infertility, miscarriages, hormonal disorders
• Difficulties learning and concentrating, especially in children (ADD, ADHD)
• Complaints without somatic cause
• All cancers

Dr. Wagstaff is among the first practitioners in North America to include Psychosomatic Energetics and REBA testing in his practice. He has lectured extensively on PSE in North America and elsewhere, and PSE is a core component of his practice  in Kelowna, B.C.

Factors that Interfere with REBA Testing

1. Testing in a geopathic zone will produce incorrect results. Before testing in any location, the practitioner should muscle test for a geopathic zone. If the zone tests positive for interference fields, the testing area should be moved to a suitable location (free of geopathies).
2. Patient or practitioner wearing anything magnetic such as bracelets, shoe inserts or other similar devices could influence test results and therefore should be removed.
3. If, unknown to the tester, he/she is sleeping in a geopathic zone and has not relocated his/her bed to a non-geopathic zone it will interfere with PSE testing and correct results will not be achieved.
4. Avoid strong electromagnetic fields in the testing room. Outlets and appliances in the testing room should be tested with an EMF detector. If EMF testing is not an option, unplug all electronics equipment and appliances, including telephones (especially cordless ones) in the testing room or move away from them when testing.
5. When based on patient assessment or intuition the tester has expectations of results it may contribute to false results. Blind testing, with no expectations as to outcome, will produce the most accurate and favourable results. The tester should mix up the test ampoules and put the labels in a face down position for best results.
6. If the patient has already started a course of Rubimed remedies he or she should have completed the first round of remedies for a period of at least a week before follow up testing is performed to determine if this conflict is complete and to identify a subsequent conflict. Testing done while a patient is currently taking Rubimed remedies will produce false results.
7. Neither the patient nor the practitioner should have a cell phone or battery-powered electronic device, including some watches, on their person during testing. These should be removed and placed at least two meters away from the testing area. Generally, regular jewellery has no effect on REBA testing.

Factors that Affect the Outcome of  Taking Rubimeds

The following factors can diminish the energetic potency of the Rubimed remedies, thereby making them either less effective or ineffective.

1. Heating the medications by putting them in water that is too hot (e.g. coffee or tea), leaving them in the direct sun, etc.
2. Exposing medications to microwaves or other high frequencies. Do not store Rubimeds on top of a microwave oven or in a cupboard in close proximity to one.
3. Keep Rubimeds away from exposure to magnets e.g. do not place Rubimeds on a magnetic blanket, close to fridge magnets, computer CPU, etc.
4. Patient compliance may not be all it should be in cases where the patient feels emotionally ‘stirred-up’. Some patients feel a significant emotionalresponse to taking the Rubimed remedies and may stop taking them. Reassure the patient that this is a normal response to experience some emotional ups and downs andis part of the healing process.

• PSE Webinar Dec 8 – Psychosomatic Influences on Functional Biology

Based on having performed over 2,500 PSE tests on patients and practitioners and conducted seminars on Psychosomatic Energetics, Heather Schofield has compiled a number of tips and suggestions to share with therapists. Six of these are provided here:

1.  When testing, we can get hints about what is going on with our patients through good observation. Use these hints as a guideline, rather than an expectation or assumption of results. For example:
• Cold and chilly hands can indicate Paravita.
•  Hot or sweaty hands can indicate Simvita.
•  Stiff arms, tense shoulder or difficulty relaxing while testing can indicate Neurovita.
2. When patients have difficulty relaxing during testing in the sitting position, rather than ask them to relax, instead I ask them to drop their shoulders and gently shake their arms. They may have to be reminded several times during testing, but it makes the testing process easier.
3. When testing the mental level for the conflict ‘awareness of conflict’, this number should always be low (40 or less), as the conflict is sitting in the subconscious level, so we are not consciously aware of this conflict. However, we generally can be aware of our actions or the patterns that relate to the theme of the conflict.
4. Emvita 28 can be a difficult remedy to explain without getting resistance, so I simply tell the patient they have a belief they hold very close to their heart.
5. If a patient disagrees or has a difficult time accepting the concept of the emotional conflict (Emvita identified), often I will put more emphasis on the positive affirmation or try to determine if they are in a compensated state. If this emotional conflict is large or a central conflict, then I will ask if the theme of the conflict relates more to past feelings.A great example of this was a practitioner that tested for Chavita 5 and Emvita 18 (being misunderstood, not being heard, trouble expressing your opinion). She stated that she was a very good communicator and in fact, had her Master’s degree in Communication. This was a large conflict for her (size 80), and so I asked how her childhood was regarding the ability to communicate. She indicated she grew up in a household where she was not permitted to communicate or express her opinion freely, so she compensated for this by becoming an excellent communicator.
6.  One should not test oneself. Always have someone else test you. The analogy I use is that one’s body is like a house with lots of rooms and since we are inside of the house our perspective does not enable us to see the entire house. In contrast, by having another person (a competent therapist) test you, they are able to see the whole picture and thereby more accurately determine what your active conflict and emotional issue are.

Autonomic malfunction causes patients to feel sick.

During their clinical studies, therapists learn that the human nervous system is divided in two parts. On the one hand, it is learned that the nervous system controls the movements of the skeleton muscles which is ruled by our willpower. On the other hand, it is taught that the autonomic nervous system works independently from our will. It regulates all involuntary actions in the body – those functions that operate without our conscious mind – like breathing, heartbeat, digestion, blood pressure, sleep and many others.

We can observe and even measure that certain patients suffer from high blood pressure, sweaty hands, constipation, diarrhea, sleeping disorders, fatigue, cramps of inner organs, disorders of the menstrual cycle or many other symptoms. Frequently due to the lack of test results by conventional medicine, such as blood tests, x-rays or ultrasound testing to support their causes, these ‘functional disorders’ or ‘autonomic nervous malfunctions’ remain inadequately treated.

Take the example of high blood pressure – a condition that affects millions of people. Conventional medicine offers remedies that block the symptoms – beta blockers, antidepressants, etc., rarely asking what the reason is behind these symptoms. Many practitioners upon observing arteriosclerosis in the arteries, draw the conclusion that it is enough to simply reduce the input of saturated fats and cholesterol in the diet to overcome the problem. Yet, as many contradictory studies worldwide have shown, there are additional factors that can influence blood pressure that is not adequately taken into account during treatment.
This is where naturopaths (and other holistic practitioners) have an advantage – as they view the patient as a whole. They know the human system has the ability to regulate itself and illness means something has gone wrong in the subtle tuning. Consequently, when a symptom (such as high blood pressure) is observed, it is recognized as a sign of a deeper imbalance in the organism that needs to be addressed.

Natural healers philosophically understand the body has a ‘blueprint of health’ and wants to return to a healthy equilibrium as soon as blocks are out of its way. This is true as long as the body has the ability to regulate itself, as long as the inner organs are still able to function properly and are not irreparably damaged.

Since ancient times, medical practitioners have realized the body’s autonomic regulation is a key factor in dealing successfully with unclear symptoms. For instance, for over 5,000 years the practice of Chinese medicine has been based on balancing Yin and Yang. Whereas in European medicine, something similar known as elements and tempers is taught. A central theme of holistic treatment is to bring the autonomic nervous system into balance by putting the pendulum back in motion between Yin (-) and Yang (+) as shown in the diagram.

When the autonomic function is out of harmony, it exhibits the characteristic signs of autonomic hypo-function (vagotony) or autonomic hyper function (sympathicotony), much like a defective thermostat that is stuck in too much heat (sympathicotony) or too little heat (vagotony). The range of harmony (normal functioning range) results in good health and feelings of well-being.
Vagotony (hypo-function of the parasympathetic nervous system) brings the body into relaxation and sleep, but if it continues for too long, it leads to body cramps and fatigue. What I tell my patients who are in this state is “All organs only work as little as possible, on a very low level and your body is so tired that everything cramps and loses its blossoms.” These patients need power support and activation. In former times, such patients would be encouraged to address their condition through good nutrition, iodine and exercise, and this health regime is still good advice today. The famous Dr. Aschner was successful in treating vagotony by getting his patient to take spicy food containing lots of iron, coffee and remedies for the stomach and intestines. In my practice I have had good results by prescribing the homeopathic remedy Paravita (Rubimed) to rebalance the autonomic system.

Signs of Vagotony are:

• Miosis
• Dry skin
• Constipation
• Low blood pressure
• Bradycardia.
• A face that looks tired and under tension
• Spasms of all kinds, like in the bronchia, gallbladder, intestines and other muscular organs

Sympathicotony (hyper-function of the sympathetic nervous system) for the body means being on the run – like a hunted animal that can’t come to rest. This state will lead to exhaustion sooner or later. I tell my patients who are in this condition that their constant distress has led them to fatigue. Such individuals benefit from tranquility and things like purgation, sweating or colonics. I like to prescribe the homeopathic remedy Simvita (Rubimed) in order to harmonize the autonomic functions.

Signs of Sympathicotony are:

• Nervousness, tenseness
• High blood pressure
• A tendency to diarrhea
• Tachycardia
• Wide pupils (Mydriasis)
• Damp skin
• Lack of sleep, inability to relax

Treating the autonomic malfunctions leads to more sleep, detoxification and better well-being. It also leads to what Pischinger described as “better functions of the milieu intérieur”.
The following is an example of good effects that a practitioner, can achieve by rebalancing patients’ autonomic functions:
Mrs. S., a 52-year-old woman, had been suffering from chronic pain for years. She had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, suffered from major depression, sleeping disorders and chronic fatigue. This was also the reason why she retired from work. She said that she had been feeling sick for eight years and was really tired of always being sick. She had been through many clinical examinations without ever getting clear results. Besides taking some vitamins and minerals, she was only taking a homeopathic remedy for low blood pressure.

When checking her energy with the REBA, she had very low readings for vitality, emotional power and mental health. These readings fit perfectly with signs of chronic fatigue, depression and the reduction of mental abilities that goes along with chronic pain. Her autonomic nervous system was fixed in vagotony, thus leading to fatigue and cramps. I gave her homeopathic remedies for her emotional issue and Paravita in a daily dosage of 2 x 5 drops (Paravita is only to be taken in the morning and at noon, never in the evening).
Three months later she was much better. Her complexion was no longer as pale and she was feeling less fatigued and the intensity of her pain was easier to cope with. Upon retesting, her readings had gone up from 40/10/40 to 70/30/70, and the Paravita vial didn’t test any more – indicating the previous vagotony was gone. But this time something new tested – and I find this in many cases of chronic pain – it was Neurovita, which is a sign of nervous tenseness when the nerves lie blank. By prescribing Neurovita at a daily dosage of 3 x 5 drops, her energies went to 80/80/100 after four months and Mrs. S. completely lost all her previous pains.

Summary

The true cause behind many symptoms and complaints in our patients are autonomic dysfunctions and blocks. Other causes like geopathic stress or emotional conflicts can also play a role, but in many cases it is autonomic malfunction that causes patients to feel sick. Holistic healing should therefore aim at rebalancing the autonomic function in order to allow the body to return to its automatic regulation.
I see my best results in addressing autonomic dysfunctions when using the homeopathic remedies Simvita and Paravita. Since including them in my testing routine, I observe better results, my patients are satisfied and I have much more fun in daily work. I advise other practitioners to try these remedies in their practice in order to confirm they get similar results.

• Over-acidity is a significant factor in disease

Lactic acid is a central component of energy production within the cell. Two forms of lactic acid are naturally occurring within the body as a product of intermediary cellular metabolism: lactic acid configured to the left as dextro rotatory (L (+) lactic acid) and to the right as laevo rotatory (D (-) lactic acid). Both of these forms can be found in naturally fermented foods (milk, sauerkraut, beans, and cucumbers), with the physiological L (+) lactic acid form promoted by adding lactobacilli in these foods.

Increased lactic acid (and lactate) is formed when there is either insufficient oxygen available or an increased requirement for energy, allowing the body to ultimately continue to convert pyruvate into energy. L (+) lactic acid arises physiologically as a product of glycolysis (the breakdown of glucose into lactates) in working muscles.
Upon accumulation, this form of lactate is transported by the bloodstream into the liver, where it is either broken down into CO2 and H2O or, if there is a surplus of energy, reformed into glucose and then glycogen (gluconeogenesis). Professor Wagner, the Director of the Institute of Nutritional Science at Gieben University, proved that L (+) lactic acid contributes to natural cell regeneration, activates respiration and leads to an increase of mitochondrial respiration by up to 350%! This beneficial form of lactic acid is found in the Pleo Sanuvis remedies from Germany.

When cellular metabolism is disturbed and a lack of oxygen occurs, pathological D (-) lactic acid arises through the anaerobic breakdown of carbohydrates. This form of lactic acid causes reactions in the blood vessels and lymph channels, leading to decreased oxygen transportation. Glycolysis becomes insufficient and an accumulation of this pathological lactic acid occurs.
Lack of oxygen within the cells and the consequential accumulation of pathological lactic acid is linked to conditions including: injury (contusions, bruising, sports injuries, sprains), overstrain muscles (sore and aching muscles), pain, skin conditions (psoriasis, neurodermatitis and including early aging signs and wrinkles), heart conditions and circulation (infarction, embolism), cancerous cells, over-acidification of the tissues, dysbiosis, colon conditions, dental conditions (granuloma and/or root canals) and symptoms of aging.
In practice, Pleo Sanuvis (L (+) lactic acid) is successfully used in a variety of conditions (including the above mentioned list). The main clinical characteristics are the underlying factor of a lack of oxygen and the accumulation of acidity due to the formation of lactic acid. According to Dr. Werthmann, a general ‘Sanuvis’ picture is dominated by tiredness and muscular cramps in overworked muscle, frontal headaches, disturbed sleep patterns, epigastric pressure and a weakness of the body.
Pleo Sanuvis is an important component of Sanum therapy, as it ultimately increases oxygen transportation and oxygen utilization within the cells (cellular respiration). It also influences acid-base balance, stimulates detoxification and strengthens the immune system. In addition, it helps to ‘flush’ D (-) lactic acid from the body, thus supporting and speeding up the healing process. From the pleomorphic perspective, L (+) lactic acid positively supports the activity of Mucor racemosus (Pleo Muc).
Pleo Sanuvis is used in conjunction with other Pleo Sanum protocols or as a stand-alone remedy for increased energy. Pleo Sanuvis is available in drops, ampoules, tablets and the newly introduced Pleo Sanuvis ointment. The dosage for drops range from 20 – 60 drops one to three times daily; ampoules two to three times weekly; tablets 1 – 3 once to three times daily; and ointment applied to the affected area once to three times daily.
This information has been compiled from the articles written by Dr. Werthmann’s “Lactic Acid in Daily Practice” and Dr. Anita Kracke’s “Sanuvis 2X Dextro Rotatory Lactic Acid: A Proven Preparation now Available as a Single Homeopathic Remedy”.

Adapted from an article by Dr. Med. Renate Collier

The acid-base regulation in the human body is at the basis of the most essential metabolic processes in the human body.

Acid Level Affects Enzyme Reactions
For metabolic processes to function properly, a stable cellular acid concentration is required. This concentration may vary only within a small range – between pH 7.3 and pH 7.4. When outside this range, certain enzymatic reactions which regulate the metabolism are negatively affected, leading to toxicity or death of the cell. It is an acid terrain which causes cellular toxicity. This can be overcome through a series of regulatory mechanisms, with the best know as simply breathing to free the body of the dangerous ‘toxic’ carbonic acid that is created by the oxidation of carbohydrates

Minerals are a Decisive Factor

The most important regulatory mechanism occurs after carbonic acid is created. Within the cell, mineral substances (especially potassium and sodium) neutralize the acid into a harmless salt, which subsequently becomes eliminated through the kidneys via the circulation. The minerals used up by this process must be replaced (through a diet of mineral-rich foods) or detoxification will be compromised.

Most People are Already Too Acidic
Acid-base  regulation main­tains the proper ba­lance between acids and bases. This regulatory system is constantly monitoring the body’s various vital functions such as respiration, circulation, digestion, elimination, hormone production, and immune response. When the level of carbonic acid in the body becomes high, the regulatory mechanism stimulates the respiratory and circulatory systems to respond in an attempt to rebalance the system. Tiredness and sleep disturbances are early signs of increasing acidity; whereas pain is a more significant signal that the body is out of balance.
Without exception, at the beginning of every disease, there is an over acidified condition! Disease is nothing more than the expression of an overly stressed acid-base regulation. In contrast, acute diseases are an attempt of the body to mobilize available mineral reserves. Therefore it is important to re-establish the body’s pH within the appropriate range before the full manifestation of the disease.
The Connective Tissue Plays a Significant Role
When the elliminatory organs become stressed, the connective tissue acts to take up and store acid released from the cells and organs. The kidneys work quite slowly and as a result, the connective tissue has to function as a ‘pre-kidney’ and stores the salts. This storage is vital in reducing the burden on the kidneys. During the night, these deposited salts are transported by the bloodstream to the kidneys for elimination. For this reason, the urine is most concentrated and has its maximum acid concentration in the mornings.
When the depositions of acids in the connective tissue is no longer adequate to protect the kidney, pathological over-acidification of the entire organism (called acidosis) sets in. This is characterized by acute or chronic inflammation.
Three Stages to Acidosis Build-up

Three stages of acidosis can be identified:

• 1. ‘Latent Acidosis’ – in which the connective tissue increasingly develops an acid build-up;
• 2. ‘Compensated Acidosis’ – in which the eliminative organs are required to work in ‘high gear’, inflammation and catarrhs are experienced, and the blood’s alkaline reserves are attacked. However, blood alkalinity does not drop below the critical value of pH 7.0;
• 3. ‘Decompensated Acidosis’ – in which the alkaline reserves fall below the normal value (pH 7.0); the blood and tissue can no longer manage and acid build-up leads to ‘toxification’. This is the first condition of chronic diseases.

For  the ‘Latent Acidosis’ stage, it is still possible to rebalance the acid-basic regulation through dietary and lifestyle changes, regular exercise, fresh air, adequate restful sleep, resolution of emotional problems and minimizing physical or mental stress. For the ‘Compensated and Decompensated Acidosis’ stages, the above suggestions should be embraced in addition to an 80% alkaline diet and taking an alkalizing preparation such as Pleo-Alkala N powder, Basictab or Basic Powder. Refer to www.biomedicine.com for the article on The Art of Alkalizing for details on how to take an alkalizer.
