Biological medicine, a type of alternative and holistic medicine, is a comprehensive method of healing that aims at increasing the body’s key biochemical reactions and self regulating abilities. Biological medicine also reactivates the body’s own natural healing forces.
In today’s modern world the human body is constantly being exposed to a wide variety of internal and external stressors that it must adapt to in order to maintain overall balance. Living organisms are dynamic flow systems that are always shifting and adjusting to their environment in order to maintain homeostatic balance. We are continuously in contact with a wide variety of substances and external forces that positively or negatively influence this flow system and affect its state of balance. Everyday our bodies need nutrients which support our systems through metabolic reactions and energy production. At the same time, the body disposes waste substances which are harmful and which may disturb and interrupt the overall flow system. In this way our bodies possess incredible defensive capabilities that eliminate toxins through complex reactions and the excretory systems.
If the toxins we accumulate are not flushed out of our bodies in the stool, urine, saliva, and sweat, our bodies must eliminate them from circulation and these toxins get deposited inside our bodies (usually within bodily tissue and organs). Biologically, this can cause serious consequences. The body's defense systems will attempt anything to eliminate the toxins which in the long run are always detrimental to the organism and can cause chronic illness. The process of eliminating these toxins and the body’s biological reaction to them create physical disturbances which manifest as symptoms we associate with disease and illness.
Recognizing this natural regulatory process, Biological medicine, using comprehensive evaluation and advanced diagnostic tools, detects:
|
- Type of toxin (e.g. heavy metals, solvents, pesticides etc.)
- Blockages of elimination of the toxins
- Deficiencies of nutrients
- Disturbances in the tissue and organs interfering with the proper physiological function, etc.

Biological medicine views diseases of any kind as symptomatic problem of larger source issues. If the source is not addressed, then full health will never be achieved. By determining the best program of treatment to naturally eliminate all the causes creating a chronic dysfunction in the body, one can achieve complete health.
With a biological approach, a program of treatment is individually prepared for the needs of the patient and all aspects of the human body are considered in order to achieve total balance and harmony which can be refereed to as "perfect health".
