| Homotoxicology |
HOMOTOXICOLOGY
Homotoxicology was founded in 1952 by Dr. Reckeweg. He started with the principles of
classical Homoeopathy as developed by Hahnemann, and integrated them with the new
discoveries in biochemistry and embryology that had been made by the 1940’s. The
medications, which he formulated, are derived from: the enzyme systems of the body,
allopathic medicines, extensive nosode preparations, and the more traditional homeopathic
remedies.
In Homotoxicology, it is understood that diseases are caused by toxins.
What are toxins? How do toxins impact health?
Dr Reckeweg defined ‘Homotoxins’ as substances that were harmful to the human body.
Exogenous toxins that are introduced or produced from outside the human body include air
pollution, chemicals, pesticides, metals such as mercury, allopathic drug residue, bacteria,
viruses, infections in the gut, including Candida, and gut dysbiosis (often due to an
unhealthy diet).
Endogenous toxins are produced inside the body and come from byproducts of the body’s
metabolic processes, e.g. lactic acid, adrenaline, and histamine, nutrient deficiencies, and
psychological stressors.
Homotoxicology sees disease as the result of the body's attempt to heal itself. Most of the
symptoms of illness are the result of defensive effort of organism in order to eliminate the
toxins, and should not necessarily be suppressed. In minor, self-limiting disorders, the body
does this unaided. In more serious situations, treatment is needed. If the treatment used
eliminates the Homotoxins, then real healing results. If the treatment suppresses the
Homotoxins, however, (antibiotics, steroids; most drugs) then they go deeper into the
tissues and manifest after a latent period as a more destructive disease, and may lead to
chronic degenerative disease.
Homotoxicological products are designed to work with the body's defense mechanisms and
facilitate the body's elimination of toxic substances and to stimulate the body’s inherent
capacity to heal itself. They do not suppress symptoms.
Evidence based theory - Homotoxicology is a (sophisticated) modern form of homoeopathy
and is the most prescribed form of natural medicine in Germany, where it has been used for
over 50 years and is practiced by conventional doctors and natural therapists alike. In fact,
80% of orthodox doctors in Germany prescribe homoeopathic or antihomotoxic preparations
for their patients. The efficacy and safety of homotoxicology is supported by close to 100
clinical trials. Scientific trials on one product alone, Traumeel, have shown it to be as
effective as a COX 2 inhibitor, without the potential side effects of gastric bleeding.
HOMOTOXICOLOCY is used to treat a wide range of chronic and acute health conditions
including:
• Pain and inflammatory conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, bursitis,
acute sprain, sports injuries and headaches.
• Obesity, adrenal exhaustion, anemia, chronic fatigue syndrome.
• Skin ageing, cellulite, and spider veins.
• Gastrointestinal and hepatic disorders, including heartburn, nausea, diarrhea, and
constipation.
• Psychological issues, e.g. stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia.
• Female and male hormonal anomalies, including menopausal symptoms, PMS, fibroids,
endometriosis and fertility issues.
• Immune system and allergy disorders including viral and bacterial infections,
bronchitis, allergies, asthma, sinusitis, and chronic candidiasis,
• Skin disorders including acne, psoriasis, and eczema.
• Pediatric Illnesses and ADD/ADHD
• Autoimmune diseases including lupus, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis,
• Endocrine disorders including hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and diabetes.
• It is also an effective and safe complementary cancer treatment postoperatively,
promoting immune defense and detoxification mechanisms and counteracting the side
effects of radiation and chemotherapy.
Homotoxicological products come in tablets, liquid vials, oral drops, and injection solutions.
Dr. Samples may also make a homotoxicological medicine directly from a drop of your blood,
known as an Aqua Potentia, which contains a copy of your immune system.
Homotoxicological remedies and preparations usually have practically no side effects and
may easily be combined with other medications when required. This is important for
chronically ill patients who, due to their various ailments, are frequently required to take
several medications at the same time.
Advantages of using Homotoxicological Agents in Biomesotherapy
It is a method of treatment that combines the acupuncture and homotoxicology –an
advanced specialty of homeopathy. Dr. Samples will inject the sterile solution into the
acupuncture points and of body where the problem exists; an infusion of concoctions with
specific homeopathic substances is administered.
Principles of Action
The principle of its use is to place a few drops, in the right place, over the targeted area. It
is used in the medical setting to provide a localized treatment with the benefit of avoiding
systemic effects and interactions.
To achieve its principle, mesotherapy uses two types of injections:
• Superficial Injections: the infusion is injected under the skin and it has the aim to
initiate the defensive system of organism. The reaction is slow but long lasting.
• Deep Injections: the infusion becomes deeper and the result is direct but short lasting.
Usually Dr. Samples will use both methods alternately during each treatment, in order to
ease pain immediately. Generally, you will receive multiple injections with each session.
Mesotherapy has shown some benefits compared to another procedures:
• Treatment can be individualized for each patient
• Mesotherapy may be use to treat many medical and aesthetics conditions by its own
and in conjunction with other techniques.
• By injecting homeopathic agents potential side effects may be limited
• As it has local action and may have systemic organ function effects
• Avoids many common drug interactions as injected homeopathic medications do not
require liver (hepatic) metabolism
• Reduces possibility and/or severity of allergic reactions due to the very small volume
used.
• Relative quick onset of action
• Greater action potential of the injected homeopathic and nutritional remedies.
However, as mesotherapy is an invasive technique involving needles and injections side
effects may occur. This can include, but is not limited to:
May cause temporary bruising
Pain at the injection point
Numbness, dizziness and nausea
Temporary injury to nerves and muscles at the injection point
Possible local reactions
Infection at the injection point.
Dr. Samples takes standard precautions and sterilization techniques to provide you a safe
injection, however, possible complications are always possible. You will be asked to sign a
release which further details the possible side effects.
Applications
As mesotherapy stimulates organs derived from mesoderm by injecting the layers of the
skin, treating these layers allows the practitioner to reduce fat and establish body contours,
reduce weight, facial wrinkles, and creases. Currently, mesotherapy is used to treat a wide
variety of conditions in general medicine including pain, alopecia, bone and joint disorders,
cellulite, and lipodystrophy.
The following are some fields where mesotherapy has been used:
- Aesthetic medicine: wrinkles, cellulite and fat accumulation.
- Circulatory Diseases: mild venous insufficiency, phlebitis.
- Skin Diseases: acne, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis.
- Respiratory Diseases: allergies, asthma.
- Musculoskeletal Conditions: arthritis, rheumatic conditions, lumbago.
- Neurological Diseases: migraine, headache.
Homotoxicological Substances
Dr. Samples uses FDA compliant sterile homotoxicological substances with all patients,
safety and efficacy are our first concern.
The exact mechanism of action of the homotoxicological substances when injected is
proposed to work in one of or a combination of the mechanisms. The mechanisms include
standard medical theory found on the Heel USA web site and the homotoxicological theory
found on the GUNA and PleoSanum web sites. We encourage you to review these
mechanisms if you are interested, at:

Some homotoxicological substances used by Dr. Samples in mesotherapy are the
following:
Guna-Neural(R) Oligoelements Traumeel(R) Echinacea
compositum(R)
Guna-Polyarthritis(R) Placenta compostitum(R) Zeel(R) Hamamelis homocord(R)
MADE(R) Lymphomysot(R) Solidago(R) Cutis compositum(R)
Guna-Hip(R) Spascupreel(R) Ubichinon(R) Co-Enzyme Compositum(R)
Mesotherapy is a treatment option which provides you with a safe and effective approach to
clinical and aesthetic improvement. Biomesotherapy consists of the use of homoeopathic
medications and the stimulation of specific points, called ‘trigger points’ with a saline solution.
The solution is injected just under the skin, into specific muscle points, acupuncture points,
or even into and around joints.
Injections may be given in more than one location during each session, for example allowing
Dr. Samples to treat your knees and your neck on the same visit.
Administration of these injections is by means of a very fine hypodermic, so the technique
cannot be compared to the administration of conventional injections. The needles are much
finer, much like acupuncture needles. Pain or discomfort is minimal to non-existent.
Biomesotherapy can be most useful in the regulation of acute and chronic muscular-skeletal
conditions ranging from sprain and strain, to osteoarthritis.
Medications which are administered are cortisone free and are free of unpleasant side
effects associated with other anti-inflammatory medications.
Unlike conventional anti-inflammatory drugs which tend to mask the pain, Biomesotherapy is
a technique which, by its very nature, assists the body’s natural healing processes.
Biomesotherapy stimulates the body’s healing mechanism through the process of
inflammation.
By injecting the saline solution at specific target sites, the body’s healing mechanism is
activated and the growth of new tissue (ligament and tendon) is stimulated. In fact tendon
and ligament growth/repair is stronger and thicker than previously by up to 40%!
Generally the blood supply to tendons and ligaments is poor, and healing after injury is
incomplete. When you have incomplete healing, it results in previously strong connective
tissue becoming relaxed and weakened. This, in turn, leads to a tendency to repeat injuries
occurring in the same weakened area.
The relaxed ligament or tendon becomes the source of chronic pain especially at the point
where it is attached to the bone. Injection of a saline solution at appropriate points draws
the body’s natural healing processes to the afflicted area by improving circulation to the site
of the injury. Additionally, the inclusion of selectively chosen homoeopathic formulations,
chosen specifically for you, hastens and assists with your recovery.
So even with conditions such as cartilage injury, degenerative disc diseases, arthritis,
sciatica, neck pain, back pain and sporting injuries Biomesotherapy will assist in eradicating
the chronic pain of these and other painful conditions.
Biomesotherapy is a cost-effective treatment.
Sessions are for approximately half an hour. Depending on the severity of the condition,
treatment is often twice weekly for the first two weeks and as the healing process is
facilitated and the condition is ameliorated, treatments become weekly, every two weeks or
once monthly. Some conditions may require maintenance treatments to ensure that
wellness is supported.
If you have additional questions, I will attempt to answer them during your personal
consultation.
