Alternative Therapies (AT): You have helped pioneer a model of care in Europe called Swiss Biological Medicine(TM). This is an eclectic mix of scientific methods and traditional healing modalities. Can you explain the nature and origins of biological medicine?
Dr Rau: Swiss Biological Medicine integrates all the traditional methods of natural healing, as well as elements of what you refer to in America as functional medicine or orthomolecular medicine. The traditional components of biological medicine include traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, homeopathy, the traditional German or European drainage (detoxification) methods, neural therapy, and hyperthermic therapy. The modern part is similar to functional medicine, or what I refer to as ortho-molecular medicine. We have enhanced this model with new techniques of Darkfield microscopy, computerized thermography, and a unique method of measuring the tension of the unconscious nerve system.
What makes biological medicine unique is how we carefully integrate the isopathy, the immune biology of Professor Enderlein's theories, and homeopathy. This medicine integrates everything, more or less, and continually evolves. It is not a static type of medicine; it continues to be developed over the years. Our experience, when we really do it carefully and consistently, is that we don't need orthodox medicine anymore. It has become our basic primary medicine. To complement it, in rare cases, we need orthodox medicines. So the orthodox medicine has become the complementary medicine and biological medicine is, for us, the primary, fundamental basis and foundation for health and disease treatment.
AT: There are a number of unique concepts and methodologies that distinguish your approach. For example, you employ neural therapy, isopathy, the concept of regulation and regulation blockade, various toxic foci, such as heavy metals, acid and protein excesses, free radicals, various food intolerances, stressesall those things are new concepts to orthodox or conventional medicine. You also introduce new concepts such as constitutional types and the multi-causal nature of disease as well as toxic overload. These are novel ideas in approaching diagnosis and disease treatment. It is not the same old "make a diagnosis and treat it" or "match the drug to the diagnosis" mentality. Can you explain the underlying concepts and practices of biological medicine and, specifically, how you approach and treat the patient?
Dr Rau: The very important...
