The essential point is the state of preparation of these minerals which is achieved by potentizing with lactos, in accordance with Hahnemann’s prescription. It has been proved that through this special method of preparation both minerals and lactose acquire particular physical properties. Lattice structures are destroyed, and at the points of lesion electric forces and rays are released which are not present in solution and mixtures of non-potentized substances. These peculiar directional forces affect the neural structure of the central nervous system and of the autonomic nervous system and restore to the disharmonized, diseased itsharmonious order. This process can be compared in every respect with the effects of modern neural therapy and is, to speak, a medicamentous form of this type of therapy… G Jaedicke, in his book “Biochemistry” states the problem very pregnantly: “Something introduced into the bidy which causes a disturbance and changes the existing state to bring about a restoration of harmony.”

The establishment of an accurate diagnosis in the conventional sense of the word, and with the use, if necessary, of all available technical equipment, is a matter of routine also in the case of biochemical treatment. Its purpose is not only to identify the disease diagnostically, but also to ascertain whether the pathological condition warrants treatment by the biochemical method. Constitutional and functional disturbances, disorders of the autonomic nervous system, all types of neuralgia, and many inflammatory and degenerative processes of all tissues can be successfully treated biochemically. In the cases of infectious and contagious diseases it should be decided in each individual case whether chemotherapeutic and antibiotic treatment is preferable. If the immunity conditions and the circulation are good, the initial stages of acute but not primarily dangerous infectious and contagious diseases by no means always require a rigorous antibiotic or chemotherapeutic treatment. On the contrary, resistance phenomena, incompatibilities, allergies and so on frequently preclude these methods. In such cases the application of biochemical methods is very valuable meningitis, diphtheria, tuberculosis, and venereal diseases should beyond question be the first place by the usual modern specific methods of treatment. Earlier experience with various biochemical substances is comparatively unimportant in these cases.

Widespread atrophy of the B – Cells Langerhans pancreatic island system, the loss of the epithelical bodies of the adrenal cortex, of the gonads, ect. Can be compensated only for a limited space of time by substitution therapy based on correct doss. Where the tissue of the hormone glands no longer functions fully and where the valuable parenchyma has been replaced by inferior connective tissue, even biochemiclly applied substances cannot bring about a regeneration. On the other hand, in cases where the otherwise intact gland tissue is affected by faulty never control and by sluggish functioning, better results can be achieved by biochemical treatment than by substitution since the latter method would only serve to increase the “laziness” of the already sluggish glands. In such cases the biochemical substances can active and normalize glandular activity. The ability of biochemical methods to influence malignant tumors is very questionable and can only be used as an additional aid together with the normal modern methods of treating tumors. For want of a better type of therapy every attempt must be made to operate as early as possible.
