Dr Constantine Hering, a contemporaryof Dr Samuel Hahnemanry the

founder of Homoeopathy, was the firstphysician who described the principles

of chronological disease progression,

and the steps of disease reversal back

towards health. This is known as

Hering's Law of Cure. It states that

healing happens from top dowry from

inside out, and in the reverse order of

original pathological manifestations.

Disease FrogressicnFollowing Hering's and Hahnemann'shomeopathic approach, Dr Hans

Henrich Reckeweg developed

the Disease Progression Table and

described a disease as a Processthat gradually develops along the

embryological tissue lineage in three

major phases: humoraf matrix and

cellular. The initial or humoral phase

of a disease is the stage of earlydysfunctions and acute infl ammations.

This evolves into the matrix stage

where unprocessed toxicity is

deposited into intercellular space,

leading to chronic inflammatoryand early degenerative changes.

The last phase is the cellular toxicimpregnation which clinicallymanifests as a variety of chronicdegenerative and neoplastic diseases.

Frustrated by the limitations ofallopathy, and aware of a need forthe paradigm shift in conventionalmedicine, we (Dr Damir Shakambet

and myself) started integratingconventional allopathic medicine withvarious eastern and western alternativetherapies in the mid-80s. Our intentionswere ambitious: to integrate afragmented CAM movement underone unified scientific umbrella ofBioregulatory Medicine, and to merge itwith contemporary allopathic medicine.

While respecting the achievements ofmodern medicine, we began exploringthe teaching of pioneering doctors

and therapists including Hippocrates,

Avicena, Paracelsus, Constantine

Hering, Samuel Hahnemann, Hans

H. Reckeweg, Edward Bach, Carl G.

Jung, Milton H. Ericksoru Erich Berne,

Arthur ]anov, Rudolph Steiner and

many others. UnfortunatelY, theirmedical knowledge and wisdomis still largely missing from both

allopathic and complementary medical

curricula. Bioregulatory Medicine,however, delivers a model of integrated

medicine, bridging the gaP between

CAM and allopathic medicine.

Erategrati*nBy the early 90s, we had established

a coherenf scientifically viable and

therapeutically effective Bioregulatorysystem of healthcare. Integratingtraditional Chinese med icine,

psychotherapy, nutritional and

herbal medicine, as well as various

structural, postural and bioenergetic

therapies was a relativelY easY

and enormously fulfilling task. DrReckeweg's concept of Homotoxicologyhelped us develop a successful

therapeutic integration of allopathy and

homeopathy, and so the Bioregulatory

Medicine system was born.

New Medical ParadigmBioregulatory Medicine differs fromconventional medicine by shiftingthe emphasis from causality tofacilitating an open and non-linearflow of bio-information which iscapable of counteracting a multitude ofhealth disruptors by activating self-corrective mechanisms or homeostasis.In simple terms, BioregulatoryMedicine restores and facilitates ourinherent ability for self-healing.

During the first appointment,bioregulatory doctors alwaystake a detailed allopathic andpsychological medical history.Doctors of Bioregulatory Medicineadditionally focus on psychologicaland bioenergetic assessments,structural evaluation and analysis ofnutritional deficiencies and toxicities.

Perhaps the major difference betweenAllopathic and BioregulatoryMedicine is in the choice of therapeuticmethodologies. BioregulatoryMedicine incorporates modernallopathic diagnostic technology,

but its therapeutic measures aredrug free. Bioregulatory Medicineemploys a variety of naturalmodalities and techniques, such as:nutritiory osteopathy, psychotherapy,acupunctlrre or homeopathy.Each treatment is personalisedand based on the integration oftherapeutic methodologies thatare the most indicated for anindividual homeostatic re-balance.

The Presomatic SyndromeBioregulatory Medicine alsointroduces the concept of ExtendedAetiology, which places the originof a disease as psychosomatig acondition which we refer to as

the Presomatic Syndrome.

By identifying energetic,psychological and structuralimbalances, Bioregulatory Medicineoffers a therapeutic strategy toremove emotional blocks that wouldhamper physical recovery. In thisway truly preventative medicineemerges as a new option for timelytreatment in an ageing population.

Bioregulatory RemediesBioregulatory remedies are all naturaland include nutritional supplements,herbal, homeopathic or naturopathicpreparations, which support andfacilitate homeostatic mechanisms,rather than controlling or suppressingthem. The most commonly prescribedmedicines are complex homeopathicremedies which are combinations oftraditional homeopathic remedieswith homeopathically preparedimmunological preparations,such as hormones, cytokines andmicronutrients.

CONCLUSIONBioregulatory Medicine assesses andregulates all factors involved in themaintenance of optimal health. Itis a process that aims to rehydrate,re-m ineralise, detoxi fy, re-energiseand restore structural resistances andpostural misalignments of the patientsand rebalance psychological andimmuno-endocrine system control. Italso offers an opportunity for spiritualnourishmen! cognitive re-framing andimprovement in emotionalself-management.

Bioregulatory Medicine incorporatesmodern technological advances,but also offers solutions to theconsequences of stress, pollution andtoxicity. As an interdisciplinary medicalapproach that restores homeostasisby means of natural therapeuticmethodologies, Bioregulatory Medicineputs the healing power of nature andHippocrates"'Vis Medicatrix Nature"principle, back where it belongs - intoclinical practice.
