Professor Enderlein's Isopathic Therapy / Introduction to Darkfield Microscopy

The German microbiologist, physician and researcher, Prof. Dr. Günther Enderlein, MD, was able to prove in his studies that microorganisms in the human body can develop upward from apathogenic forms via physiological early phases into pathogenic agents. In his research, he looked at fresh blood under a darkfield microscope. He demonstrated that it was exclusively the patient's milieu interieur (internal environment) that was responsible for the formation of viral, degenerative and even bacterial diseases. Modifying this milieu in the direction of physiological conditions is thus the way to counter most infectious and bacterial diseases. The milieu is determined by the acid-base balance, by the organism's protein content -- in particular excess animal protein which cannot be integrated into the body's cells -- and by the amount of trace elements. These theories are worked out in the Isopathic Workshop, where above all the significance of the acid-base balance is thoroughly discussed, combined with the latest biochemical and pathophysiological findings. The typical indications of hyperacidity and its therapy are dealt with in particular detail.

Hyperacidity of the organism (tissue hyperacidity) is the result of long-term poor nutrition, usually over-rich in protein, but also of an increasing lack of trace elements and minerals (chromium, manganese, selenium, magnesium, calcium) with alkalinizing effects.

By means of proper diet, plus supplying the missing trace elements, base equivalents and isopathically effective medications, the internal milieu can be improved to such an degree that chronic diseases can be influenced and their development reversed.

The Theory of Isopathy and the use of isopathic remedies, made from fungus structures, gives us an easy-to-use and very effective instrument for the treatment of acute and chronic diseases. Prof. Dr. Enderlein's great achievement is having systematized the knowledge of the structures (Endobionts) which colonize man. When they are of a low-valence and physiologically developed, they are vital to many metabolic processes, particularly to materials transport in and out of the cells, as well as to blood coagulation. If these structures become of a higher-valence as a result of unphysiological milieu changes, they can cause various bacterial diseases -- or, if general regulatory processes become blocked, viral diseases. He was able to demonstrate beyond the shadows of doubt that these developmental cycles which evolve pathological structures and germs all run similar courses. Professor Enderlein was able to demonstrate the three major developmental cycles, which respectively produce, in their Culminant stages, the fungus Mucor racemosus fresen, Aspergillus niger and Penicillium notatum.

In each of these developmental chains (Cyclogenies) one finds certain bacteria and thus certain diseases or syndromes. Thus, the precursor stages of Mucor racemosus typically develop endothelial and endodermal diseases, and diseases of the circulatory systems. The diseases of the Aspergillus niger cycle, on the other hand, primarily affect connective tissue and the ectodermal organs and therefore give rise to diseases of the tuberculin type, degenerative diseases and diseases of the connective tissue organs. Finally, Penicillium notatum exhibits in its precursor stages the agents of acute putrefying infections, staphylococci and streptococci, and the patients thus tend to acute bacterial illnesses and kidney/bladder disorders.

Professor Enderlein made the interesting discovery that diseases of the corresponding Cyclogenies could be treated to excellent result with the physiological early stages (low valences) of the corresponding cycles. The isopathic remedies therefore contain the physiological and high-energy early structures, obtained via ultrafiltration, from the Mucor racemosus, Candida or Penicillium notatum cycles.

The use of these medications and assigning the individual remedies to the various diseases will be discussed thoroughly in the course listed below.

Darkfield Microscopy will be demonstrated and practiced. Using this microscopic investigation of fresh blood, the milieu, cell material exchange, a patient's degenerative tendency and the protein situation can all be evaluated. One can quickly get an idea of which therapies are needed -- for example whether immune system stimulation or isopathic therapy should come first.

Darkfield microscopy is a very quick and clinical-practice-friendly method for evaluating the acid-base balance, excess protein and also Endobiontic stress. The determination of the degree of severity of a "blood mycosis" is thus possible and even practical in the day-to-day general practice.

Enderlein's teachings and the therapies they make possible enable access to topics such as Candida and blood mycoses, but also to degenerative tendency and cancer susceptibility. In addition, cross-connections to other areas of holistic medicine such as homeopathy or Chinese medicine are made more understandable.
