Biomesotherapy - the final destination...

We've reached the final part of my epic - where the ring is cast into the fires of Mordor, and the little dudes with the hairy feet make it home in time for eleven-sies (and if my nerdy reference is lost on you, just do what most people do - shake your head)...



...anyway, back to the text - what is biomesotherapy??


"...isn't that like the soup?"


...ummm, that would be miso soup...and no, it's not like that...


...what biomesotherapy is, is a treatment involving the injection of saline into a specific site and the sublingual (that's under the tongue) application of specific homeopathic or homotoxicological preparations...


...of course, if you have read the previous two blogs you would understand that these preparations are dilutions of specific plant or herbal agents...and that means that it is natural and does not involve drugs...


"...ummm, I heard the word 'injection' there - is it painful?? And it is safe??"





...biomesotherapy generally utilises the same sort of syringes that a diabetic would use - they hold about 1ml of fluid and tend to be a very fine gauge...so, there may be a small sting when the initial injection but that's about the extent of the pain...


...and as far as safety - you're being injected with a disposable syringe that will be discarded after use, and with a substance that is known to be sterile and within concentrations that are normal for the body...the oral part of the procedure utilises homeopathics - which contain very little substance to cause side effects within the body...


"...okay, so it's safe - but why would I choose it over taking oral homeopathics or homotoxicological products??"


...that's simple - the injections mean the therapy can be targeted at a specific site, as well as having systemic (whole body) effects due to the oral homeopathic use...


...now, what can biomesotherapy be used for??


...biomesotherapy is really effective on inflammatory conditions, like arthritic conditions and chronic long term injuries like tendonitis and cartilage degeneration...but are really good for acute (recent) injuries such as heavy bruising or muscle, tendon and ligament tears...it can also soften scar tissue and help with chronic sinus inflammation - or relax muscles and improve circulation...


...it can also help with deeper problems within the body, such as irritable bowel syndrome or other inflammatory conditions within other organs...


...relief from biomesotherapy tends to occur within a relatively short time period, although some chronic conditions may require a number of treatments to achieve long term relief...


"...it sounds a bit like cortisone...is it??"


...no, no way...cortisone overrides the body's pain response, whereas biomesotherapy works with the body's own systems to return the body to a state closer to normal...and biomesotherapy tends to cost at dramatically less than what a medical injection would...


...so, biomesotherapy is a safe and sterile treatment that allows for localisation of therapy...if you want to know more - ask your chiro...

Homotoxicology to Biomesotherapy - the Saga Continues...

...yep, it's part two:


...which means: Part Two: What is Homotoxicology?? (which also means if you haven't read the blog before this one, then you've got some reviewing to do) Homotoxicology is "modern homeopathy" - or the use of homeopathic preparations to restore the body's ability to heal itself, and restore itself to it's normal state...

"...but Caolan, why does my body get out of whack??"

...well, for a lot of reasons - poor diet, poor rest and relaxations habits, and poor posture and lifestyle habits...

"...geez mate, I'm not really that bad am I?? I mean, I get sick once in a while...but doesn't everyone??"

...the symptoms of disease are actually a result of the body attempting to heal itself, and therefore should not be suppressed. Therefore, homotoxicology works with the body's natural defence mechanisms to assist the body in excreting or eliminating the offending substance...the focus is on restoring tissue integrity and bioregulation ("body normal")...

"...isn't that what cold and flu medications do too??"

...actually no, it's not - most pharmaceuticals work by bypassing the body's natural systems, and actually decreasing their natural function...it's worthwhile to note that in Germany (the home of homeopathy and homotoxicology) approximately 80% of orthodox medical practitioners ultilise homotoxicology in conjunction with traditional pharmaceuticals to increase their potency...

"...so what is this homo-stuff actually good for??" (and yes, I have had a patient call it that)

...well, basically any condition where your body can longer regulate itself as normal...which realistically, is every disease or sickness known to man...now, this means that homotoxicology is not, strictly speaking, a cure for anything - what it is is a treatment method that works to restore the body to it's normal function, and allow the body to heal itself from there...

...so, homotoxicology is "modern homeopathy" - a formulation of homeopathic ingredients that work with the body's own natural defence systems to return the body to it's normal state by eliminating toxins...and for those of you who are curious - yes, this guy is a toxin...


...and of course, if you want to know more - consult your chiro...
