Homotoxicology
IN BRIEF
The antihomotoxic
therapeutic model
The Schwarzwald
Hospital Center for Homotoxicology
IN THE BLACK FOREST
The Schwarzwald Höhenklinik is located in the resort town of Höchenschwand in the higher elevations of the
southern Black Forest. Höchenschwand’s beautiful setting and uniquely healthy climate make it the ideal place
for a restorative stay. After only a few days, the body responds to higher altitudes and enjoys above average hours
of sunshine. The result is more energy and improvement in many symptoms of illness.
The Schwarzwald Höhenklinik, a private clinic and health resort, offers an
ideal combination of pleasant ambiance and modern medical facilities.
Homotoxicology is a modern homeopathic
therapeutic model using homeopathic combination
medications in addition to a variety of
naturopathic treatments. Antihomotoxic therapy
is based on four principles:
1 Avoiding additional toxic loading
2 Elimination and detoxification
3 Strengthening of organ functions
4 Enhancing the body’s immune
functions

PROTOCOLS
EDEMA
The following protocol addresses general edema from injury such
as sprains and from the effects of illness such as diabetes-induced
lymphatic impediments, as well as post-surgical and post-trauma
edema.
LYMPHOMYOSOT/LYPHOSOT: 1 vial 3x/week orally for
2 weeks, then 2x/week for 3-5 weeks
or oral drops*: 10-15 drops 2x/day.
For acute edema, the protocol can start with 1 vial 4 days in a
row, then follow the above protocol.
When edema subsides the protocol can be abridged, but for best
results continued therapy with Lymphomyosot/Lyphosot for a
period of at least 2 weeks will help expel the toxins associated
with edema and facilitate subsequent tissue repair.
AFFECTIONS OF THE GALL BLADDER
When treating affections of the gall bladder, one of your
first choices should be Chelidonium-Homaccord, a remedy
which targets the gall bladder and bile ducts. It can be
used as a sole remedy for digestive disturbances associated
with gall bladder dysfunction or overload and should be
used at the rate of 1 vial 2x/week for 3-5 weeks or 2 tablets
b.i.d. for 4 weeks or oral drops*: 10-15 drops 2x/day.
If stones are present, combine Chelidonium-Homaccord
with Lycopodium-Injeel or Berberis-Homaccord,
alternating these remedies throughout the protocol.
GASTROINTESTINAL PROBLEMS
IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME (IBS)
Irritable bowel syndrome is a common problem that is difficult to fix as it carries many contraindications to
foods. In our modern and busy world it is difficult to make patients comply with lifestyle changes such as diet.
Homotoxicology can help make the patient’s life a little easier by reducing to a minimum the toxins associated
with flatulence and lessening the irritation of the intestinal mucosa.
GENERAL PROTOCOL FOR IBS
* Contains alcohol.
PODOPHYLLUM COMPOSITUM: 1 vial 2x/week or oral drops*: 10-15 drops 2x/days.
+
MUCOSA COMPOSITUM : 1 vial or 2ml 2x/week for 5 weeks. The remedies can be taken
together or on alternate days.
AN ALTERNATIVE PROTOCOL (if above products are not available) INCLUDES :
Lycopodium-Injeel :1 vial 2x/week + Pulsatilla-Injeel :1 vial 2x/week for 5 weeks, both remedies
can taken together or on alternate days.
Nux vomica-Homaccord can be
added to either protocol, at the rate
of 1 vial 1-2x/week or oral drops*:
10-15 drops 2x/day, to help overall
digestion. It should be taken on
alternate days from the other remedies.

Treating spasmodic conditions with Spascupreel
Results of a prospective study
INTRODUCTION
ABSTRACTS
In the industrialized nations of the West, painful spasms or
cramps in the gastrointestinal or urogenital tracts are very
frequent complaints. In 1996 in the Federal Republic of
Germany alone, nearly ten million prescriptions were written
for drugs to treat these conditions. Painful spasms are
often treated with chemical antispasmodics (either alone or in combination with analgesics), but because of their potential
side effects, these remedies cannot always be recommended without reservation. For example, antispasmodics that contain
scopolamine can cause cardiac arrhythmia and increase intraocular pressure. Additionally, the use of muscle relaxants affecting
the central nervous system, which are generally used in treating various (usually chronic) spasms of the skeletal muscles,
is contraindicated in many cases and always entails a certain degree of risk because of the sedative properties and addictive
potential of these drugs. 1
Low-risk homeopathic remedies , however, also produce good therapeutic results in treating spasms of the smooth muscles
of hollow organs such as the stomach, intestine, bladder or uterus. 2–5 Spascupreel, manufactured by Biologische Heilmittel
Heel GmbH, Baden-Baden (Germany), is a homeopathic combination remedy used in treating spasmodic conditions of
various organs. All of the pharmacotherapeutic components of this preparation are produced according to the guidelines of
the German Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia (HAB). Since one of the basic principles of homeopathy states that low potencies
of homeopathically prepared ingredients act primarily on the physical level, 6 and because cramp-like symptoms are usually
acute in character, the potency levels of the ingredients of Spascupreel are relatively low (Table 1).
This paper describes the results of a prospective study of dosage, therapeutic efficacy and tolerance of Spascupreel in a large
group of patients.
METHODS
ABSTRACT
Data on the patients’ medical histories and treatments were
recorded on standardized questionnaires. No criteria for
inclusion or exclusion of patients were defined, since the purpose
of this preparation-specific prospective study was to
observe the entire range of conditions for which Spascupreel
is prescribed. The dosage of Spascupreel (in tablet form), the
duration of therapy and the option of implementing concomitant
therapies was left to the attending physicians, who
were required to record all data relevant to treatment on the
Dr. Michael Weiser, Valérie Reus
Reprint from BM, Vol. 29, No. 1, 2000, pp.14-17.
This non-interventional prospective study gathered data on 698 patients and investigated
usage indications, dosages, therapeutic efficacy and tolerance of Spascupreel,
a homeopathic remedy prescribed primarily for lower urinary tract spasms, primary
dysmenorrhea and uterine spasms. Spascupreel was the sole therapy administered to
approximately 70% of the patients.
Alleviation of symptoms was observed in 80% of the patients within two weeks of
onset of therapy. Upon conclusion of therapy, the efficacy of Spascupreel was rated
"very good" or "good" in 76% of all cases (including patients treated only with
Spascupreel). Patient tolerance of the medication was rated "excellent" in the
majority of cases.

questionnaires. The success of the protocols selected was
assessed by the physicians in terms of two criteria:
a) the point in time when improvement was first observed
b) an overall assessment of the results of therapy, using the
following five-point scale:
"very good" = complete freedom from symptoms;
"good" = obvious improvement;
"satisfactory" = slight improvement;
"no sucess" = symptoms remained the same; and worse.

RESULTS
Patients and treatment
A total of 83 physicians, primarily general practitioners and
gynecologists, participated in this study by recording treatment
data on 698 patients (74% female, with the emphasis
in age distribution falling between 31 and 50 years). Chief
usage indications included spasms of the urinary tract (24%),
menstrual cramps (primary dysmenorrhea) (18%) and uterine
spasms (16%). Duration of symptoms prior to treatment
ranged from less than one week to several years. It is apparent
from this distribution that both acute and chronic cases
(duration of illness > two months) were observed in the context
of this study (Table 2).
Although the dosage of Spascupreel was determined
on an individual basis, the standard dosage
in most cases was one tablet three times a day (or,
for acute symptoms, one tablet every fifteen minutes
for a maximum of two hours). As expected, the
TOLERANCE
In seven cases (1%) the physicians reported undesired
side effects during treatment with Spascupreel.
The symptoms reported were: constipation (two
cases), nausea, belching with foul odor, increased
fatigue and weakness, foul-smelling perspiration
and diarrhea. The experts who evaluated these cases
found it unlikely that these symptoms were due to
the use of Spascupreel. Presumably, the supposed
side effects were caused either by the original illness
or by concomitant medication. In spite of these
seven documented cases of undesired effects, the
physicians rated patient tolerance as "excellent" or
"good" in 98% of cases.
average duration of treatment with Spascupreel depended on
whether the patient’s illness was acute or chronic. In acute
cases, relatively short periods of treatment were the rule (less
than two weeks in 64% of cases), while in chronic cases
longer treatment periods predominated (more than two
weeks in 76% of cases) (Table 3).
A scant 32% of patients were prescribed medications in
addition to Spascupreel (for example, for gynecological or
urological conditions), while 26% received non-drug therapies
(for example, diet, heat treatment or massage).

THERAPEUTIC EFFICACY
18% of the patients reported immediate
improvement after taking Spascupreel,
while an additional 60% reported improvement
within two weeks. As expected,
response time differed in acute and chronic
cases. 89% of the patients with acute symptoms
reported improvement within the first
two weeks of treatment, while "only" 67%
of the patients with chronic symptoms
reported improvement during the same
time period (Table 4). In three out of four
cases, treatment with Spascupreel resulted in
either complete freedom from symptoms or
obvious improvement. No patients reported
worsening of symptoms. Spascupreel therapy
was effective in both acute and chronic
illnesses and in all of the conditions origi-

nally diagnosed (Table 5). The results of this study also showed that the success of therapy with Spascupreel was not contingent
on adjuvant drug therapy, which was prescribed in 32% of cases. In individual cases, however, the underlying illness
or the severity of the spasms certainly warranted concomitant drug therapy.

CONCLUSION
Of the symptoms physicians encounter on a daily basis,
spasms in the smooth musculature of hollow organs are
among the most unpleasant for patients. Such individuals
always need fast relief from their severe pain. The
results of this prospective study of 698 cases of treatment
confirm that smooth muscle spasms do indeed respond
to treatment with homeopathic remedies. Spascupreel
not only provides temporary symptomatic relief but also
produces an alteration in the patient’s constitution,
reducing susceptibility to spasms in the long term.

SUMMARY
Prophylaxis of labor anomalies by using
antihomotoxic preparations
Reprint from International Journal of Biomedical Research and Therapy
Vdovichenko Yu.P., Chemova A.V.
Maternity hospital of Dneprovsky region, Kherson (Poland)
The aim of the present work was to improve prelabor
preparation and programmed delivery by
application of antihomotoxic preparations.
Coenzyme compositum and Viburcol/Baby Pure
were used for prophylaxis of labor anomalies,
which resulted in improved labor results.
Viburcol/Baby Pure and Coenzyme compositum
were used with 53 patients (group I) during prelabor
preparation and delivery. The control group
consisted of 105 women who were treated by
standard preparation methods (group II).
Analysis of preliminary results from women in Keywords: Coenzyme compositum,

show a considerably decreased number of labor
complications in comparison with women in the
control group. Problems with delivery and side reflex reactions were not noted in group I, but were observed
in group II, by 10% and 20%, accordingly.
A decrease in the number of urgent C-sections was noted in group I. As well, the number of cases of acute prenatal
hypoxia and fetus asphyxia during delivery decreased markedly in the same group.
The analgesic and anti-anxiety effects of the remedies were rated as 100% and 58% respectively in group I and
as 56% and 1% in group II. Side effects were not observed in either group.
The use of the antihomotoxic preparations Coenzyme compositum and Viburcol/Baby Pure for prophylaxis
of labor anomalies during pre-labor preparation and delivery offers a high therapeutic effect
and allows to avoid prescription of preparations that could negatively impact the fetus.
Pediatricians

The aim of the present work was to investigate the clinical
effectiveness of Lymphomyosot and Echinacea compositum
in children with infectious mononucleosis (IM).
Clinical-laboratory investigation was conducted in 39 children
suffering from IM (ranging from 1 to 15 years of age).
Four groups of observation were chosen:
• Group No1 – 10 children treated conventionally;
• Group No2 – 9 children treated with Lymphomyosot in
addition to conventional care;
• Group No3 – 10 children treated with Echinacea compositum
in addition to conventional care;
• Group No4 – 10 children treated with Lymphomyosot
and Echinacea compositum in addition to
conventional care.
Lymphomyosot was prescribed in a dosage between 8-15
drops 3 times daily, depending on the child’s age.
Echinacea compositum was prescribed in a dosage of 1/2 -
1 ampoule (2 ml), i.m., daily.
All groups were comparable with diagnoses (combined
forms), disease seriousness (medium seriousness),
age and sex. Illness was diagnosed accord-
ing to clinical epidemiological and laboratory
data. Lymphomyosot and Echinacea compositum
were prescribed starting on the first day
of treatment and given until the end of the
treatment (3 weeks later).
The effectiveness of the therapy was evaluated by the
dynamics of reduction of clinical symptoms of the disease.
Application of both antihomotoxic preparations
Lymphomyosot and Echinacea compositum in the treatment
of children with IM led to satisfactory results faster
than in the control group.
Antihomotoxic preparations did not have side effects and showed good tolerance while
antibiotics and especially desensitizing preparations very often led to deterioration.
Based on the data, it was concluded that the application of Lymphomyosot and
Echinacea compositum in the treatment of infectious mononucleosis in children
was effective.

PRACTICE
USING TRAUMEEL ®
SYSTEMICALLY
by Dr. Jo Serrentino
For more than four decades, Traumeel has been
well known in both alternative and conventional
medicine as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
(NSAID) conceived for trauma-induced injuries.
It has been tested clinically in nearly 30 studies
for its anti-inflammatory effect on arthroses, bursitis,
sports injuries, sprains and many other musculoskeletal
conditions or injuries.
Unlike most conventional NSAIDs, which can
cause gastro-intestinal side effects and inhibition
of platelet aggregation, Traumeel has no cytotoxic
effect on endothelial cells, granulocytes, lymphocytes,
or platelets. This makes Traumeel an
excellent choice to use as a systemic NSAID.
Hence, the advantage of using Traumeel in serious
and painful conditions is that it does not cause
adverse renal, hepatic, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal
or Central Nervous System (CNS)
side effects.
Since Traumeel has been shown not to interact
adversely with drugs, it can be used as the sole
NSAID prescription or in conjunction with a
conventional drug, if necessary. In such cases,
conventional drugs can usually be reduced or discontinued
when Traumeel is used systemically.
Traumeel is also a useful adjuvant to help suppress
the inflammatory responses of chemotherapy,
or as a post-surgical analgesic when conventional
drugs are contraindicated.
USING TRAUMEEL AS AN ANALGESIC &
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AGENT IN
LONG- OR SHORT-TERM THERAPY

TRAUMEEL ®
Traumeel tablets or vials are the best choice to use
as the sole NSAID or in conjunction with conventional
drugs, or during outpatient procedures
involving local anesthetic. As Traumeel has no
adverse effects on body systems and is non-antagonistic
to anesthetic or conventional drugs, it has a
wide application in clinical practice. Traumeel has
anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties and also
stimulates circulation and granulation, activates
fibroblasts, histogenic and hematogenic defenses in
inflammatory processes, and promotes healing of
soft tissue and callus formation in fractures.
PRACTICE
In a recent multi-center placebo-controlled
clinical study, the oral administration
of Traumeel was shown to have a
significant and clinically relevant impact
on chemotherapy-induced stomatitis in
children. Its effect was noticeable with
regards to both the manifestation and the
duration of stomatitis. This study confirmed
the preliminary results which were
obtained in a previous pilot study.
Traumeel can help reduce recovery time of injuries
and procedures such as plastic surgery and dental
surgery, as well as osteopathic or chiropractic
procedures that may induce an inflammatory
response.
Traumeel’s very nature makes it a gentle therapy
which can be used long-term. It is non-antagonistic
to conventional medicine and procedures, and
in this sense, is a comfort to both the patient and
the physician.
GENERAL PROTOCOL FOR SYSTEMIC ADMINISTRATION
OF TRAUMEEL (as an NSAID and analgesic)
TRAUMEEL: 1 tablet 3-5x/day (or p.r.n. up to 8 tablets per day *)
or 1 vial 4x/week for 4 weeks.
*( Please note that Traumeel tablets contain lactose; patients who are allergic or
intolerant to lactose may experience a reaction.)

COLUMN
Homeopathic complexes are applicable to dental procedures
and surgery because they are gentle and scientifically
proven effective alternatives to NSAID treatment without
harsh chemicals. In dentistry, the frequent need for nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) and analgesics
makes homeopathic complexes the ideal alternative
choice. Moreover, by using non-chemical formulations the
dentist can reduce irritation of certain procedures such as
root canals, and provide non-chemical solutions to long-term
problems like tooth clenching and grinding.
THE FOLLOWING PROVIDES SUGGESTIONS OF
SPECIFIC HEEL FORMULATIONS AND POSSIBLE PROTOCOLS FOR DENTAL
PROCEDURES OR CONDITIONS:
ROOT CANAL and/or TOOTH EXTRACTION
Traumeel: to be used as an NSAID
1 tablet dissolved under the tongue every 2 hours; up to 8 tablets per day
or 1 vial orally 1-2x/day (hold liquid in mouth for 30 seconds,
swish gently then swallow. No need to rinse) + Herpar sulphuris-Injeel
p.r.n on site (if available)
or Traumeel oral drops*: 10-15 drops 1 or 2x/day.
TO HELP REDUCE ACUTE SWELLING, ESPECIALLY AFTER DENTAL SURGERY
Viburcol/Baby Pure have been
formulated especially for the symptoms
associated with teething,
including fever and inflammation.
The easily administered
monodoses are convenient for
parents who can simply squeeze
the contents of the plastic applicator
onto their child’s gums.
Effective teething relief is also
available with BHI Chamomilla
Complex tablets.
DENTISTRY COLUMN
Traumeel: 1 vial 2-3x/day for the first 3 days, or 1 tablet p.r.n. up to 8x/day.
The advantage of using Traumeel as an NSAID is that it can be used in conjunction with conventional
analgesics which are often necessary after certain dental procedures because of intense pain.
In the presence of acute inflammation and throbbing, prescribe Belladonna-Homaccord
or Belladonna-Injeel: 1 vial every half hour until the acute phase is over. Generally there is relief after
the second dose.
* Contains alcohol.
TEETHING

GINGIVITIS
Nux vomica-Homaccord can be used systemically to fight gingivitis: 8-
10 drops 3x/day, or 1 vial daily for one week, then 3x/week for 3 weeks.
Traumeel provides anti-inflammatory action to help soothe sore gums
and stimulates circulation to improve healing time. The vials are the best
choice for this purpose: 1 vial 2x/day for 10 days (hold liquid in mouth
for 30 seconds, swish gently and swallow. No need to rinse).
COLUMN
Spascupreel (even when patients are using an occlusion plate)
1 tablet in the evening after dinner and one tablet dissolved under the
tongue before bed. Spascupreel will reduce jaw spasm associated with
nocturnal tooth clenching. During the day, Spascupreel tablets can
be taken at the rate of 3-5 tablets daily.
When clenching causes headache, facial neuralgia and jaw pain, add
Gelsemium-Homaccord (vials or drops). This remedy is a good choice to help relieve radiant pain often
associated with spasm of the jaw due to clenching, grinding or gnashing. 1 vial in the morning
for 2-4 weeks or oral drops*: 10-15 drops 1x/day.
Traumeel is always a staple as an anti-inflammatory, and very helpful in cases of spasm due to tooth
clenching. In this respect, Traumeel acts as an anti-inflammatory for the gums and jaw line. The impact
of clenching can be so great as to cause chipping of the teeth and root pain due to constant pressure.
Traumeel tablets are a good complement to an occlusion plate.
* Contains alcohol.
CLENCHING, GNASHING, GRINDING TEETH
TRAUMEEL: One tablet 3-5x/day during acute clenching
or high stress periods
