What is homotoxicology and who is the creator of the theory that disease is a form of excretion of toxins from the body? Read the interview with Dr. Grażyna Duszkiewicz, an otolaryngologist who has been dealing with homotoxicology for years.

We should not replace the body in its natural functions. Let us only stimulate him to self-heal and self-regulate with drugs that will act as a stimulus to mobilize the patient's defense forces. These are the main principles of homeopathy and are often contrasted with conventional medicine. A type of homeopathy is homotoxicology. We talk to Dr. Grażyna Duszkiewicz about her.

What is homotoxicology?

DR. GRAŻYNA DUSZKIEWICZ: It developed on the foundation of homeopathy. She is over 60 years old, although little known in Poland. Her father was the German doctor and pharmacist Hans-Heinrich Reckweg. According to his assumptions, the disease arises under the influence of poisons - homotoxins. They are two-fold: endogenous, produced by the body itself (e.g. products of metabolic processes, the effects of hormonal imbalances, etc.), and exogenous, which enter the body from the outside (tobacco, alcohol, drugs, processed foods, heavy metals, gases, radiation). e.t.c.). The body's response to the presence of harmful homotoxins is disease. Therefore, all symptoms of the disease are an attempt to defend the body against poisons.

Disease is something you want your body to excrete toxins?

G.D .: In homotoxicology, symptoms of the disease such as cough or runny nose are an expression of a struggle and a form of cleansing the body of toxins, i.e. viruses, bacteria, fungi, molds. It's the same with a fever.

A fever can be very dangerous and, for example, cause convulsions

G.D .: Maybe that is why the patient should be under constant medical care. Everyone gets sick differently. One child lies down at 37.5 ° C, the other runs at 39 ° C. The most important thing is that homotoxins are burned in a fever. Suppressing it after a temporary improvement in well-being may cause, for example, multiplication of viruses. There is a saying: "give me a fever and I will heal the sick."

What does homotoxicology treat?

G.D .: Here there are differences between homotoxicology and conventional medicine. The latter treats pain, that is, the symptoms of the disease, with a chemical tablet that, in effect, suppresses the cleansing effects of the inflammatory process. Inin homotoxicology, we treat the causes of the disease, which can disrupt the functioning of various systems in the body at the same time.

We treat the human body as a whole, holistic - it is not a simple sum of independent organs. In therapy, we mainly use biological drugs, with the use of minimal doses. These are antihomotoxic drugs, which are homeopathic complex preparations, so in one there may even be several healing, complementary and strengthening agents. These active substances of plant, mineral and animal origin are able to stimulate the body's defense system to neutralize and eliminate harmful toxins.

And when our immune system is malfunctioning? The defense system attacks its own tissues?

G.D .: I am entering cleansing therapies that eliminate homotoxins. From the perspective of 30 years of work, I say that a he althy person is primarily a he althy intestine. There is the foundation of our resilience. 90 percent of them depend on them. therapeutic success. If everything is fine at this level, the body retains very strong self-healing and self-regulating properties. Do you treat with antibiotics?

G.D .: Sometimes yes, in acute, acute cases, where time plays a colossal role and when life is threatened. Then I do not play in cleansing the body. However, whenever I prescribe a synthetic drug, it is together with a homeopathic remedy that supports and reduces the side effects of the chemical drug. And these can be devastating.

When does homotoxicology fail?

G.D .: Homotoxicology describes the six phases of the disease development. In the first three, lesions are reversible and this is the most appropriate area of ​​action of homotoxicology. In the last three, the body is unable to remove the toxins that accumulate in it. Compensation for the damage is difficult, and as a result, cancer may develop. At these stages, homotoxicology can work to aid conventional medicine therapy, often slowing disease progression.

On internet forums, disappointed patients write that they felt worse during the homotoxicological treatment than before it

G.D .: It is a therapy extended over time. The patient must undergo a process of cleansing the body, which can be unpleasant. When we activate the excretion mechanisms, profuse secretions, coughing, etc. may appear. Some people cannot stand it, most often those who are impatient and used to the fact that when they take a pill, the problem is over. This is a dead end. It's fine for a week, and then the patient comes back to the doctor.

Which diseases are treated homotoxicologically?

G.D .: Most often chronic -gastrointestinal diseases, degenerative joint changes, allergies, asthma, inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, etc. The entire spectrum, as in the clinic. When choosing treatment methods, I am guided by my many years of experience. I believe that alternative medicine should not be opposed to conventional medicine. Both, with a different approach to the patient and the disease, should cooperate with each other, because both are an integral part of medicine.
