Homotoxicology is the science of toxins and their removal within the human body. We should normally be excreting toxins through the primary pathways of feces, urine and sweat. When the immune system is challenged or our pathways of elimination blocked, our body’s ability to eliminate toxins is thereby compromised. There are progressive stages of illness which correspond to the accumulation of toxins. After excretion, we move to deposition, then impregnation, degeneration and finally neoplasm (cancer). Symptoms of disease are the result of resistance to toxic substances. In other words, conditions such as asthma or skin rashes are predictable ways that we might respond to toxicity. If we attempt to suppress the symptoms at an earlier phase, for example, through the use of steroids, antibiotics or other prescription drugs, we drive the toxins deeper into our cells, which can result in advancement of illness and disease.
The efficacy and safety of homotoxicology are supported by over 100 clinical trials. Anti-homotoxic remedies stimulate the body’s own healing process to cure illness. Homeopathic remedies provide a blueprint of healthy tissue which “reminds” the body to prioritize its resources to return to health and homeostasis. Unlike classical homeopathy, many homotoxicology / BEA practitioners like me use remedies in combination. In order to respond to more serious chronic illness, we are finding that the classical “one remedy at a time” approach is no longer sufficient.
Homotoxicology is thought of as a “bridge” between allopathic and homeopathic medicine. Its main focus is to rid the body of toxic substances and restore the body to optimal health. I have had great success using homotoxicology for patients who resonate with bacteria, candida, fungus, heavy metals and Lyme Disease to name a few.
