homotoxicology remedies. Most of these injections are given under the skin or into the

muscles.

This stimulates deeper organ systems known as a cutivisceral reflex arc. Oral homoeopathic

medicines can be given simultaneously which focus upon the organ or tissue requiring

treatment.

There are over 70 million consultations in this therapy in Europe per year. It is a very popular

form of Natural medicine.

Its safety profile is excellent, according to one study it is as safe as taking oral homoeopathics.

Examples of diluted natural medicines commonly used in Biomesotherapy are Traumeel and

Zeel ampoules. They contain absolutely no impurities. When the body is activated it will not

therefore be transporting additives and preservatives to the tissue the organ system being

treated.

Traumeel is used for inflammations and sports injuries. Zeel is used for tennis- elbow, whiplash

and arthrosis. There are hundreds of different Biomesotherapy products available throughout

Europe in clinical practice.

Where are the biological medicines or remedies injected?

People are often very surprised at the ease of the treatment. This technique cannot be

compared with the injections given in conventional medicine.

The needles are finer, like acupuncture needles, and inserted into a self-loading device called

an `inject¬ ease' device. Saline is inserted just under the skin or into specific muscle points.

derived from ancient Chinese medicine, while trigger point therapy has its origin in the USA.

Treatment into and around joints is also common. For example, if you have elbow pain your

practitioner will look for several painful spots in the arm muscles and may treat each one.

In most cases, several small treatments are given in a specific zone of the body at each

session.

What about the safety and efficacy of this technique?

Practitioners of Biomesotherapy are using a technique that adheres to strict technical

guidelines. They have a duty of care as a professional clinician. This involves using correct

technique and sterile disposable material. This technique often has much less discomfort than

the average acupuncture treatment.

What is Biomesotherapy?

Most of the products used for oral administration are made in Germany and are subject to

strict quality control and manufacturing techniques. These products also meet Australian

quality control standards.

Biomesotherapy uses carefully calculated diluted substances, commonly known as

homoeopathic potencies. Specific healing combinations of these medicines are used for

particular conditions. The ampoules do not contain high concentrations of the active

substances. These medicines contain low concentrations of substances, usually of plant and

mineral origin. As a result, toxic side effects are very unlikely.

Many of these products have been tested in modern double blind and drug monitoring

studies. Many physicians are not aware that the research results have been successfully

documented in current medical journals.The medicines used in Biomesotherapy may not be

as effective as prescription drugs in the short term.

Three or more sessions may be required before results are comparable. However, many

patients may receive immediate relief from pain and discomfort after their treatment.

How does it work?

Biomesotherapy stimulate your body's own healing capacity. The body is encouraged to start

healing itself.

Many of the products used are formulated to relax muscle tension for example, when treating

neck and from low back pain. Pain in the knee or hip region can have a muscular origin. This

means it can be treated without touching the joint itself.

The practitioner can also approach the body by working on the `major computer,' which

consists of several bodily systems including the brain and nervous system.

Biomesotherapy aims to normalize nervous system imbalance. This is like getting your

computer in balance again. Practitioners who are familiar with natural medicine call this

"neuro-regulation".

Another important area of Biomesotherapy is detoxification. Detoxification literally means

cleaning the body. Toxins that have accumulated in the body from the environment, poor diet

or from medication are able to alter the immune's defence system resulting in inflammation.

Toxins can also disturb the responses of your nervous system, causing pain and discomfort.

These toxins are the reason why the body may not be functioning at its optimum level.

Eliminating toxins (homotoxins) is an important strategy, especially when dealing with chronic

diseases.

Biomesotherapy helps eliminate toxins and normalize an imbalanced system. Some

combinations of medicines are specifically designed for this purpose, and are used in

conjunction with muscle point stimulation in oral preparations.

When do practitioners suggest using Biomesotherapy?

It is up to your practitioner to decide if Biomesotherapy is appropriate for you. The majority

of patients are treated with Biomesotherapy as an alternative for pain management.

Although there is pain relief it is important to realize that Biomesotherapy does not suppress

the symptom with conventional medicine. It simply reorganizes the body's information to

support a healing response.

Pain is an important warning that something is wrong in the body. The source of the pain

reaction must be addressed.

More than one treatment may be necessary for initial improvement. If your pain is recent it

may be treated in two or three sessions. If the pain has been present for months or even

years, it may take several treatments.

After the first treatment it is possible you may feel a little worse. This is because the healing

process is being activated. Your body may have to work on the cause of the problem and, in

doing so, produces some discomfort. This means that real healing is taking place.

Many practitioners use Biomesotherapy for minor orthopaedic problems. These include neck

and back pain, ankle sprain, sciatica, frozen shoulder and Achilles tendonitis.

Biomesotherapy is also very successful in treating sports injuries.

This modality is often suggested for those who have tried orthodox medicine without

success. Other patients experiencing medication side effects may be seeking alternatives.

In some patients it may be advantageous to combine a conventional approach together with

Biomesotherapy. It is not necessary to stop your current pharmaceutical medication if this is

prescribed by your doctor.

If in doubt, always contact your practitioner for professional advice on whether this therapy is

suitable for you. Each case must be assessed individually by a trained Biomesotherapy

practitioner.

When is Biomesotherapy not indicated?

Biomesotherapy cannot heal cancer, heart disease or AIDS. It is not suggested for treating

serious disease such as diabetes, depression or epilepsy on its own. However it is useful as an

adjunctive or supportive treatment modality to support the body’s healing process.

When serious tissue damage has already occurred it is difficult to reverse the process and

bring the body back into balance again. Biomesotherapy is indicated for particular conditions

and physical symptoms.

used for muscular cramps and Lymphomyosot for lymphatic drainage. Hundreds of different

cocktails are available these days.

Are these products safe for me?

The injected solution does not contain high concentrations of the active substances. As a

manufactured by companies that guarantee the production quality of their products. Most of

the ampoules used for injection are made in Germany and are submitted to very strict quality

control regulations and systems. Clinical studies on thousands of patients have confirmed the

safety of ampoules like Traumeel and Zeel.

How can these dilutions actually have an effect on my body?

The fact that most ampoules only contain low concentrations of plant extracts is often a

reason for conventional physicians to criticize the possible effects of these products. But one

ampoule contains no active products any more (as in “real” homeopathy). That’s why we call

them micro-doses. So, it is more than just injecting water. How does this small dose influence

the body then? When you receive a tetanus vaccination, only small amounts of a product are

inflammations?

In conventional medicine, the actual drug you take suppresses your symptoms immediately.

For Example, that is why you need to take high doses of chemical substances in order to

suppress pain. And as soon as the medication stops working, you have to take another pill to

kill the pain. The same goes for anti-inflammatories, medication to control your blood

pressure or for high cholesterol. That’s how these drugs are designed. However, in

Biopuncture small doses of products are injected in order to stimulate the natural healing

processes. These micro doses “wake up” mechanisms which are available anyway. So, the

healing effect comes from “inside” your body - not from the products themselves. It’s the

Where are these injections given?

Most people - especially those who are apprehensive about injections because they may have

had bad experiences with injections in their childhood - are surprised how easily and quickly

these injections are given. In fact, these injections cannot be compared to the ‘usual' injections

given in conventional medicine. They are not as painful as an injection in for example a

hospital because the needle used is very fine and the quantity injected is very small. Indeed,

they look more like little pinpricks. Most of them are given into or just under the skin, others

are given into specific muscle points or into your ligaments. Your doctor doesn’t give the

injections arbitrarily, but they are administered in carefully chosen spots. The place where the

doctor injects the product is as important as the product itself. It’s different for each patient.

How many injections will I receive each session?

A lot of these injections are given at more than one spot during each session. For example, if

your practitioner wants to work on your liver, he or she will give about 7 little injections

under the skin on your abdomen. When you have pain in your elbow, your physician will look

for several painful spots in your arm muscles or elbow ligaments, and inject each of them in

one session. In such a case, you may receive anything from three to ten little injections in your

elbow, neck or arm. So in most cases, several little injections are given in a specific zone (or in

several areas) of the body at each session.

The fact that your doctor uses small doses of natural products instead of cortisone injections

means that you have to be more patient. If you have had problems for several months or even

years, your doctor must work on different layers. If it is a complicated case, your health care

provider must sometimes also look for deeper causes of your complaints and work on these.

Sometimes your hormonal system has to be regulated. Or he or she must do a detoxification

Is that correct?

It all depends. Every case is different. Sometimes you improve immediately after the injection.
