This is the second column in an on-going series by Dr. Harvey Bigelsen. He has requested of the editors of this journal that he be given this column to voice his views. We, the editors of Explore! are proud to grant him this request. He has demonstrated that he has "Walked his walk," and therefore, he deserves the space to "Talk his talk". Dr. Bigelsen would like you, his readers, to send your intriguing questions to him c/o Joannie Dibler, P.O. Box 87356, Phoenix, Az 85080. The more questions you send him, the more he can answer. So please! Start them coming!

Do Not Call Me an "Alternative" Physician!

What is in a name? Shakespeare said, "A rose by any other name would still smell sweet." This is true because a rose has a distinctive aroma, but words can be very descriptive. For example, what does "Alternative" medicine mean? Does it mean alternative to a plumber, a factory worker, an automobile mechanic, etc.? There is no alternative to what I do. There is only one Truth! Most "Alternative" physicians are just substituting the natural remedies for pharmaceutical drugs and are still treating the leaves that are falling off the tree. I treat the tree! Patients call me and ask me do I do ozone therapy, for example. I answer, are you buying the therapy or the results? It makes no difference if I rub chicken bones over their head and they get better, as long as I get the results. There is no alternative to Terrain.
The Terrain is all. That is the single Truth!

What about "Complementary" medicine? This is an "Uncle Tom" name. Allopathic medicine has not found the cause or cure of one chronic disease in the twentieth century. It is the only health care system in the world without a philosophy. They offer me nothing that would complement my work. I am not speaking of crisis intervention, in which the medical establishment has made great strides, but the fact that it is a total failure when it comes to chronic disease.

What about "Integrative" medicine? Historically, any system that has integrated into the Allopathic system totally loses its identity. For example, the Osteopathic profession has lost its true identity. Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of Osteopathy, would turn over in his grave if he saw what is happening to his profession today. I can integrate some of their treatment into my therapeutic regime, but they cannot integrate what I do into their paradigm. If a patient comes to me and is on heart medication, blood pressure medication, etc., I still use my Allopathic knowledge and can use these drugs, but of course, my goal would be to get them off any chemicals and have the tree thrive, naturally.

There is only one Truth! The Terrain is all! Anyone who truly believes in the concepts or terms such as Alternative, Integrative, Complementary, really is not seeing or telling the truth. I believe they truly do not understand or believe in the concept of pleomorphism and terrain, or frankly, they are just "Uncle Tom's". There are many different modalities that can be used to get to the Truth, but there is still only one Truth.

Now the question comes, how do you know when a treatment program is truly a benefit to the patient? In order to answer this question, one must understand how disease enters the body and how it leaves the body. Hering's Laws of Disease and Cure hold true no matter what treatment modalities are used. These laws are as follows:

1. All disease goes from outside the body to inside.
2. All disease goes from below to above.
3. All disease goes from less vital to more vital organs.

Conversely:

1. All disease goes from more vital organs to less vital organs.
2. All disease goes from above to below.
3. All disease goes from inside the body to outside.
4. Symptoms appear in reverse order.

My practice is based on the work of Enderlein and Isopathy. I use the darkfield microscope and the BTA to monitor my patients. I am a Medical Doctor. The only degree that I have ever earned is a Doctor of Medicine. I do a complete examination on my patient. I do whatever blood tests, X-rays, EKG's and any test that the Allopathic Medical Establishment has developed that I can use. I will and have taken an oath to do the best I can to help my patient. I work with severe chronic disease, cancer, and these patients are frightened. They have given their trust to me. My work is based in reality!! I do not want to be called an "Alternative" physician. My work is very focused. The Terrain is all. I do not endorse any specific products. I will only endorse specific philosophies.

There is too much chaos in the "Alternative" or "Holistic" world. There are too many lay practitioners who are grouped together under the heading of "Alternative" health care Westminster Hospital are all not well grounded. I believe that any therapist must know their limitations. If you don't know where a spleen is or what it does, than you should not be treating human beings. There are also many licensed practitioners who call themselves "Alternative" who do not understand Terrain and who do not treat the tree. I do not want to be identified with these practitioners either.

I am a Homeopathic philosopher, but I am not a Homeopath. I do not believe that classical Homeopathy is practical. I was once criticized by a classical Homeopath, who said I should only be using one remedy a month when I was treating cancer. I told him that he may save the soul, but he will lose the body. I am a very pragmatic physician. I use Isopathy as my main form of therapy because it makes sense and it is the Truth. I use many Homeopathic formulas, cell therapy, neural therapy, as the basis for all my treatments. I follow my patients closely using my darkfield microscope, the BTA, Allopathic testing, and I follow the progress of my patients using the chart of Homotoxocology. There are different paths to the Truth, but there is only one Truth..The Terrain is all!!

If your patients are not getting better according to Herring's Laws, then you must question what you are doing. I had a teacher who said that if your patient is not getting better, then you are doing something wrong. After all, "Miracles only happen when you know what you are doing." If you are not doing Terrain, if you do not understand basic sciences, such as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, you should not be treating human beings. This is reality! As physicians, we must always remember the trust that the patients have in us. We are dealing with life and death.

Finally, I like to consider myself a Doctor of Medicine, whose work is based on Terrain and Truth, as I see it. I will write about the role of consciousness in disease in future articles. At present, the term Biological Medicine has been used to describe what I do. If any of the readers can come up with a good, distinctive name, I would be very interested.

About the Author

Dr. Bigelsen is the first medical doctor to practice Isopathy or Biological Medicine in North America. He is a trained MD, was a trauma surgeon in Vietnam and helped author the law that made Arizona Homeopathy what it is today. As the first president of the Arizona Homeopathic Medical Board, he drafted guidelines and standards for the practice of "Holistic" Medicine that were precedent setting in U.S. History. He believes his successful political effort in Arizona, led to the Medical Establishment finding him guilty of defrauding the U.S. Government and its taxpayers of $70.00. For this "grave" crime, he was banned from practicing medicine in the U.S. and its territories. He now works in "exile" and in freedom in Tijuana, Mexico at the Instituto de Medicina Biologica.
