BIOLOGICAL MEDICINE as practiced by Dr. Thomas Rau, M.D., Director of the Swiss Paracelsus Klinik Lustmuhle, combines the most modern diagnostic equipment with a wide range of traditional natural healing methods. It also integrates dentistry, as there is such a close relationship between teeth and health. BIOLOGICAL MEDICINE is a comprehensive and integrated approach to health and illness. It is “biological” and shows logically how we get ill by identifying the sequential phases of degeneration which lead from minor ailments to various chronic diseases. Illness is defined as a loss of regulatory capacity; that is, the inability to correctly respond to a wide variety of internal, environmental and lifestyle factors. The internal milieu or terrain, a central idea in BIOLOGICAL MEDICINE, needs to be balanced so that pathogenic microbial forms cannot develop and cause numerous diseases. Internal sites of chronic focal infections and “disturbance fields” but also toxic burdens are other important factors frequently overlooked in the treatment of degenerative diseases. In BIOLOGICAL MEDICINE, healing is defined as the restoration of regulatory capacity. This is achieved by removing the physical and emotional blockages to self-healing. Detoxification methods, immune system activation and the mobilization of healing at the psycho-spiritual level enable the regeneration of the body, mind and soul.
