The mainstay of anti-Homotoxic therapies is the detoxification of the Ground Substance or Matrix, which is that space that is “in-between” the capillary beds and the Cell Membranes of our cells. Pischenger described this space in great detail, and it is said to be continuous throughout the entire body, with its fluids in continuous connection from our head to our toes. Whereas the Blood vessels are closed tubes that go to specific places, the Matrix area is an open space that knows no boundary.

It is in this space that nutrients travel from the arterial ends of the capillaries across the area to be absorbed by the receptor sites on cell membranes. Wastes traverse the space to be picked up by the venous side of the capillary beds, as well as the lymphatics, which begin in the Matrix and pick up extra fluids not absorbed by the venous system.

The Nervous System has all of its synapses end in the Matrix, and the neurotransmitters need to traverse the Matrix to get to receptor sites on the particular end organs, in order to make a connection, as nerves aren’t “hard-wired” to their final endpoints, but simply synapse in front of the end organ, needing the neurotransmitters to traverse the final gap.

The Matrix itself is in a constant state of flux, through a series of Glycoproteins that form and breakdown under the influence of immune cytokines, with most people in what is known as Blocked Regulation, with the Matrix in a constant state of buildup without breakdown, causing the Matrix to get congested and clogged with Toxins.

The now famous work of Professor Heine on the Bystander Reaction has shown that the individual Heel remedies, that contain all the regulatory remedies at D1-D14 dilution, restarts the Matrix again, alternating between buildup and breakdown, so that it can pump the toxins away and promote deoxification.

It has been observed by some that the one organ in the body that doesn’t have a Matrix is the brain!!!

Therefore, without a Matrix, how would one use Homotoxicology to detox an area that doesn’t exist to be detoxed, as clearly blocking the Neurotransmitters of the brain would be the CAUSE for depression.

Yes, in fact, the Brain is different. Instead of having a Matrix, it has GLIA CELLS. The reader is invited to type those words into their web browser on the Internet. There are over 10,000 articles that describe the function of these important cells that for years were thought to be just padding between neurons. In fact these Glia cells, with their wrap around the neuron nature, act as a continuous padding, just like the Matrix itself surrounds every cell in the rest of the body. The Network of Glia Cells is in fact a type of special Matrix of the Brain.

It would almost make sense that the most developed organ of the body would have developed its own highly-needed Matrix into a cellular form, rather than just an open space. Nevertheless, our Homotoxic remedies act on the Brain’s special form of Matrix just as these same remedies work on the regular Matrix elsewhere. Therefore, the mechanism of action of the remedies are exactly the same throughout the body, including the Brain.

Therefore, the great Homotoxic Remedies for depression are:
