AN INCREDIBLE LEARNING EXPERIENCE
A week spent with Dr. Konrad Werthmann
By: Lesia Goloida, MD, DHMS, HD. and Heather Schofield,
B.Sc., DHMHS, HD.
Like many practitioners in Canada, the two of us were looking
forward to learning more about SANUM Therapy and biological
terrain treatment from the expert, Dr. Konrad Werthmann. As
senior consultant at SANUM Kehlbeck, Dr. Werthmann, MD has
lectured extensively based on his more than thirty years of practice
with SANUM therapy. Over this time, he has not only gained
immense knowledge, but more importantly, has acquired practical
experience to share with others. He flew in to Toronto from
Salzburg, Austria as part of the first leg of his North American
tour teaching an Advanced Course on Isopathic Therapy with
SANUM remedies augment by visits to practitioner clinics.
As Biomed Medical Support Managers (MSM) in Ontario, the
two of us had the opportunity to spend an entire week with Dr.
Werthmann and during that time picked his brain for information
every chance we had. At some points, we joked with him
that he would be happy to leave Toronto so he could finally be
free of all our questions. To which he pleasantly replied that he
really was enjoying his time with us. Dr. Werthmann is an amazing
person to be around: he is very kind, patient, has a great
sense of humour and has a treasury of knowledge. He also has
found a method within SANUM therapy that consistently works
and is very practical for both practitioners and their patients.
We had already read his books on SANUM therapy; were in the
habit of regularly referring to him and his work in discussions
with practitioners about pleomorphism, isopathic therapy and
SANUM; and were well versed (and practicing) the Hypoallergenic
Diet and Four Steps of Isopathic Therapy – both of which
he developed. In addition, we had for the past several months
been presenting an Introductory Course on SANUM, known as
SANUM Made Easy, which includes his Four Step Approach.
Lesia, in particular, was anxious to meet him and wondered what
he would be like “as a person” in real life? Upon meeting him,
she was pleasantly surprised to discover he was so approachable
from the first minute they met. If one of us were to write a

dairy of our time spent with him, as Dr. Werthmann always does
(especially when he is traveling), there would definitely be a few
things to mention.
On the first full day of his stay in Canada Lesia took Dr. Werthmann
to visit Niagara Falls. As it ended up, this would be the
only day we did not end up booking him in to visit doctor’s clinics
or teach at the seminar. At Niagara Falls, Dr. Werthmann
really enjoyed the Butterfly Conservatory, as “butterflies” have
special importance for Dr. Werthmann. Do you know the reason
for the picture of a butterfly on the cover of Dr. Werthmann’s
latest book - The Four Steps of Isopathic Therapy? If not, reading
the book will give you the answer – it is a great metaphor
that now is more meaningful to us.
For us the most rewarding aspect of Dr. Werthmann’s visit
was the new knowledge we gained – particularly through the
Advanced SANUM Therapy Seminar held in Toronto on April
28-29, 2007 and attended by about forty practitioners. Dr.
Werthmann’s depth of knowledge and years of practical experience
using SANUM therapy enabled him to articulate practical
tips and methodologies in addressing a broad cross-section of
health conditions simply and effectively. Perhaps the most visually
impressionable information presented was the comparative
diagrams of the villi of two infants. One child raised on mother’s
milk exhibited healthy villi (with lot of peaks and valleys);
in contrast, the other child’s villi were atrophic and appeared
to be almost smooth (much like a moonscape) – attributable
to being fed cow’s milk. This dramatically illustrated how diet
(and antigens) can impede the health of the intestines, impair
the assimilation of nutrients (by up to 80%) and create what Dr.
Werthmann calls “therapeutic urine”.
Dr. Werthmann strong commitment and dedication to biological
medicine impressed us. Besides having great confidence in the
effectiveness of SANUM remedies, he lives what he preaches.
He is a disciplined follower of the Werthmann hypoallergenic
diet - free of eggs and cow’s milk - and he consistently analysis
a patient health from a pleomorphic perspective, which addresses
the cause(s) and not simply the symptoms of illness.
We admired Dr. Werthmann’s genuine integrity. After two days
on the road with him, visiting doctors’ clinics and listening to

him being asked for advice on treatment protocols, we began
to develop a very clear sense for applying the Werthmann approach
to SANUM therapy. Although the conditions changed
from patient to patient there was a definite pattern of consistency
to his recommendations. Essentially, Dr. Werthmann’s protocol
for any condition divides into three parts:
1. modify the diet - remove primary antigens, in particular
dairy and eggs
2. check the teeth - eliminate any focal infection and look for
a connection between the tooth with foci
and the affected organ
3. implement the Four Step Approach with SANUM therapy
A further experience we had with Dr. Werthmann came as a
complete surprise to us. We were visiting a naturopathic clinic
where a case was presented of the patient suffering from neuromuscular
disorder. It was pointed out that one peculiar aspect
of this patient’s history was his tendency to accidentally break
his bones in various places. We assumed that once again Dr.
Werthmann would recommend a regime of SANUM therapy.
However, he asked a question instead: What is the relationship
between the patient and his mother? We were all puzzled!
Then, Dr. Werthmann explained that the patient’s physical illness
is probably of psychosomatic origin. He went on to postulate
that the patient has always relied on his “broken bones” as a
reason (or justification) to be able to run back to his mother for
attention and affection.
Lesia was even more impressed when she had the opportunity to
test “the Broken Man” three days later on the REBA test device.
According to her PSE test, his emotional conflict (Emvita 11-
Hungry) was located in Chakra 3, the autonomic nervous centre
located in the upper abdomen. The meaning of this emotional
conflict is: “You feel frustrated, powerless and cheated out of
9
a sense of well-being. You want to be cared for, to feel that
somebody loves you. You feel the need to protect your boundaries
and the nice things in life that could bring you joy.” When
this was revealed to the patient, he said that he could relate to
the conflict statement and expressed an eagerness to start the
Rubimed remedies to address the condition.
In other words, Dr. Werthmann had diagnosed this patient perfectly!
Through this patient, we had learned something unexpected
from Dr. Werthmann and more about him. Being curious,
Heather asked him how he had learned so much about the
body-mind connection and to incorporate it into his practice.
To this he revealed that for years he has shared breakfast every
morning with a colleague who practices Psychotherapy and they
would discuss their experiences with one another. His paying as
much attention to the patient’s mental and emotional state as
to their physical complaints further confirms his standing as a
holistic practitioner.
The week we spent with Dr. Werthmann was very busy with practitioner
visits and the two-day seminar. Yet, being both Medical
Support Managers and practitioners, we both felt fortunate to
be able to spend so much time with such a teacher. We had the
opportunity to ask Dr. Werthmann hundreds of questions and
each time without hesitation he would provide us with a consistent,
well-reasoned and practical response.
Our week was a very enriching experience. We are convinced
more than ever, that Isopathic Therapy with SANUM remedies
is very effective way to successfully treat any chronic condition,
by addressing the state of the body’s terrain instead of masking
over symptoms. We look forward to sharing this deeper knowledge
and outlining effective means of treating patients holistically
through addressing the root causes of disease. ��
