Autism The word “autism” is being used more and more often, and has also become known to the wider public in recent decades. What does that mean? Who are autistic people? Quirky loners with a lack of manners? Ingenious memory artists? Highly gifted mathematicians? There is no doubt that there are also gifted people among autistic people. However, a large proportion of autistic people have mental or learning disabilities, cannot speak or can only speak to a limited extent, cannot live independently, and are dependent on help for the

Although the possibilities for patients in this phase have developed significantly in recent decades, there are still many reservations – also among therapists, naturopaths and the personal environment. With this article, I would like to advocate involving more naturopaths in palliative support and care, as they can be

Infectious Diseases Lyme Disease – The Invisible Danger How Ticks Challenge Our Immune System Lyme disease – a diagnosis that often causes uncertainty and concern among patients and practitioners alike. The infectious disease transmitted by ticks has become a real challenge for the healthcare system. More and more people are reporting fatigue, joint pain and neurological deficits, which are often only associated with Lyme disease at a late stage. While the tick is the focus as a carrier, the disease remains a chameleon among infectious diseases: diverse, difficult to

Operating Instructions for the “Remedy Information Transfer Unit” (RITU) This instruction manual was researched, developed and written by Dr. Walter D. Sturm, one of the founding Directors of Occidental Institute Research Foundation, and was initially published in January, 1987. This amplifier affectionately called the Remedy Information Transfer Unit (or RITU) is sadly no longer made by Med-Tronik. However, the information gathered here provides the detailed and precise instructions (as only Dr. Sturm could do!) on how to produce digital copies of the input remedy information. This procedure can still be applied using the “A” (All) circuit of any

It offered a chance for us to look back at the many patients who have been helped regain a better state of health, and at the reasons why we are still struggling for acceptance in so many

DNA Therapy with the Photon Resonance Test By Michael Kofler, MD A short article by Michael Kofler, MD. As you know, through functional medicine we have tried for quite a long time to reach into the genome for diagnosis and therapy. However, the results were not satisfactory. The reason for this is the too low diagnostic penetration depth. The Photon Resonance Test, abbreviated PRT, provided the remedy here. The possibility of penetrating into the cell nucleus produced the first opportunity due to the opening of the transcription of the DNA strand

Resonance Homeopathy Overview and New Developments By Helmut W. Schimmel†, MD, DMD The Definition of Resonance Homeopathy: Resonance Homeopathy is an application of homeopathic medications developed in 1993/1994 according to resonance principles, which are assigned to organs, organ and cell structures as well as microorganisms (fungi, bacteria), on the basis of their corresponding resonance. Through oscillations of the cell membrane, toxins are eliminated and microorganisms are brought to a state of decay. In contrast to classical homeopathy (with remedy pictures), Resonance Homeopathy is applied based on a functional and clinical
