Practical Homotoxicology

1
Practical Homotoxicology

• Presented by
• Maureen Horne-Paul N.D.
• and Heel Canada Inc.

2
Treatment Principles

• The Similia Principle
• The Equalia Principle

3
The Arndt-Schultz Law

• Weak stimuli promote physiological functions
• Medium stimuli accelerate
• Strong stimuli are inhibitive
• Very strong stimuli halt or destroy

4
Definitions

• Classical Homeopathy
• Single remedies, repertorized to fit symptom
  picture
• Homotoxicology
• Combination remedies used based on clinical
  indication

5
3 Pillars of Homotoxicology

• Avoidance of further intake of or exposure to
  toxins
• Improvement of organ, tissue, cell, intracellular
  matrix function
• Optimization of detoxifying and excretion
  functions (open the emunctories!!)

6
Homotoxicology

• Diseases
• Manifestation of bodys battle to neutralize and
  eliminate poisons
• Biological processes
• Win/lose

7
Homotoxins

• All substances harmful to humans
• Exogenous
• Endogenous
• Naturally occurring
• Synthetic
• Sutoxins (from pork)

8
Homotoxicosis

• Stresses caused by homotoxins
• Diseases induced/maintained by homotoxins
• Substances harmful to biosystem

9
Homotoxones
Homotoxin (toxic)
Homotoxin(toxic)
HOMOTOXONE (non-toxic)
10
Homotoxone Formation
carbonic acid 2ammonia
urea
benzoic acid glycine
hippuric acid
AgAb complex
Ag Ab
11
Retoxins

• Residual toxins
• Deposits of homotoxins
• Combined with endogenous substances
• Cant be eliminated via excretion or inflammation

12
Defense systems

• Non-Specific
• Reticuloendothelial system i.e. macrophages,
  neutrophils, capillary endothelial cells
• Specific
• T and B lymphocytes

13
Physiological Defense Systems

• Reticuloendothelial system
• Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal axis
• Neural reflexes
• Liver detoxification
• Connective tissue/Matrix detoxification

14
HEALTH

• Freedom from or absence of homotoxins

15
Goals of Conventional Treatment

• Suppression
• Inhibition
• Blocking
• Transforming of body processes with chemical
  substances

16
Goals of Antihomotoxic Treatment

• Activation of organic defenses
• Restoration and support of normal function
• Eliminate existing homotoxins
• Prevent introduction of homotoxins

17
Vicariation
Biological Division
18
Progressive Vicariation

• Deterioration of condition or illness
• Movement to the right and downwards on the
  six-phase table
• Progressive vicariation causes deeper tissues to
  become involved
• Results in a poorer prognosis

19
Regressive Vicariation

• Shift to the left and upwards on the six-phase
  table towards equilibrium and health
• Improvement in the condition
• Goal of treatment is promotion of regressive
  vicariation

20
The Six-Phase Table

• Chronological course of the various symptoms of a
  disease
• Within the context of ground regulation
• The individual phases flow into one another
• Phase-typical cardinal symptoms

21
The Six-Phase Table

• Subdivided into three blocks
• Each block has two phases

• Humoral phases
• Excretion
• Inflammation

• Matrix phases
• Deposition
• Impregnation

• Cellular phases
• Degeneration
• Dedifferentiation

22
Six-Phase Table Outline
23
The Humoral Phases

• Intracellular systems are not disturbed
• Defensive system is intact
• Homotoxins can be easily drained
• Inflammation plays a key role

24
Excretion Phase

• Bodys attempt to rid itself of toxins
• External or exocrine secretion of a product to
  the outside
• Drainage by means of bonding, dispersion, or
  dissolving the contaminants in secretory products

25
Excretion Mechanisms

• Physiological

27
Excretion Phase

  consumed, physical/mental strain,
  internal/external temperature
