Biological Medicine Offers a Holistic Approach to Healing by Deborah Mitchell, Phoenix Alternative Medicine Examiner

Biological medicine, also called German biological medicine or biological regulatory medicine, integrates Western science with Eastern philosophies. Practitioners of biological medicine keep the big questions in mind as they interact with their patients: why are we here (the mind/body/spirit connection); and why do we get sick?

What is biological medicine?
Biological medicine is a blending of two worlds—science and philosophy, bringing together proven ideas with new science. Thus practitioners of biological medicine will call upon the art and wisdom of such approaches as homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, herbal medicine, photon resonance therapy, acupuncture, and ionized oxygen therapy, among others, when treating patients.

In biological medicine, symptoms are considered to be warnings that manifest as patterns of “regulatory disharmony” and the final indicators of a long chain of events.

Practitioners of biological medicine work closely with each patient to create a treatment program that is based on that individual’s unique symptoms, needs, and underlying causes. In reality, the practitioner is a guide: healing comes from within the patient. The practitioner assists and guides a patient’s immune system and individual natural healing processes.

Five factors overlooked by conventional medicine
Biological medicine practitioners note that there are five areas overlooked by conventional practitioners. They include the impact of:
• Food allergies
• Faulty diet and nutrition
• Environmental toxins and heavy metals
• Interrelated dental-medical problems
• Chronic hidden parasites and infections

Not considering and investigating the impact of each of these factors in an individual’s health is indicative of conventional medicine’s failure to recognize and address a patient’s entire being—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Biological medicine practitioners explore each of these areas, and more, with their patients.


Indeed, the human body is a multi-dimentional system composed of the body, mind, soul and spirit. If healing is required, all of these factors should be looked into. Everything ingested, felt, experienced and thought of by the human should be taken into consideration for all of these have an effect on the individual. All of these factors should be addressed if complete healing the goal. Symptoms are just physical manifestations of something deeper.
