„We treat people, not symptoms or diagnoses. We promote the regulatory power in people, which brings about healing from within.“ This is the principle behind the comprehensive basic work by internationally renowned naturopath Dr. Thomas Rau.

Biological medicine is based on a different way of thinking than modern Western conventional medicine, a „functional“ way of thinking. Every symptom has a meaning and a cause and is therefore the body’s response to an internal disorder. The methods of biological medicine uncover disturbances of the internal environment and stress. They show ways to treat chronic diseases, metabolic disorders such as diabetes, high cholesterol levels, intolerances, etc., obesity, heart and lung diseases, musculoskeletal disorders and neurological conditions. The content of this book presents symptoms in a broader context and does not stop at merely combating them.

With this book, Dr. Thomas Rau addresses his colleagues as well as interested laypersons who are looking for unconventional and practice-proven answers to questions about the widespread diseases of civilization and who want to counteract the everyday helplessness in consulting rooms. The development of such ailments is complex and cannot be solved simply by prescribing a drug. Various therapies and the combination of different naturopathic methods are required to get to the bottom of the causes and resolve them. In this way, an ailment can be alleviated, if not cured, by activating the body’s self-healing powers.

For non-experts, this book offers concrete recommendations on what can be done by yourself in the case of a mild illness. Even without a medical degree, Dr. Rau’s simple and understandable presentation will help you understand complex interrelationships. The information in this book will help you as a reader to understand ailments and their causes. This will enable you to work actively with your health advisor and doctor to find your optimal path to healing.

For you as a health expert from various fields, such as conventional and complementary medicine, this book contains diagnostic possibilities and treatment approaches that will show you new ways of therapy. You will discover causes that were previously unknown or a way to treat an „untreatable“ condition after all.

Biological medicine is characterized by a combination of modern diagnostic technology and numerous traditional natural healing methods. This certainly includes holistic dentistry and the knowledge of the importance of vitamins and minerals.
