Neural Therapy Insights and News

Dear Colleagues: A newsletter reader has kindly sent me a long-lost paper by the great Russian neurophysiologist, AD Speransky, entitled "Past traumatic contractures". This paper was published in 1944 and had escaped my notice despite many years of searching for more...

Dear Colleagues: "Sciatica" (like "allergy" or "arthritis") is one of those so-often misused semi-medical terms that has now become close to meaningless.  Whenever the word comes up, the physician needs to ask clarifying questions:  How was the diagnosis made? Who...

Dear Colleagues: In 2006, I wrote a book review on "The Integrative Action of the Autonomic Nervous System--Neurobiology of Homeostasis" by Wilfrid Janig (Vol. 1 No. 6).  This was a landmark textbook, an update on current research in autonomic neurophysiology and a...

Dear Colleagues: The history of neural therapy is intertwined with the history of procaine, whether we date it from Spiess's report of its anti-inflammatory properties in 1906, the Huneke brothers' cure of their sister's migraines in the 1920s, or Franz Huneke's first...

Dear Colleagues: This month I plan to discuss a "hidden" interference field - a difficult one to find and even more difficult one to treat using conventional neural therapy techniques (procaine injections or energetic treatments).To avoid misunderstanding, I want to...

Dear Colleagues: The fact that you are reading this newsletter tells me that you believe continuing medical education to be important.    It also tells me that you have likely had a good education.  The mark of a good education is the habit of life-long learning, not...

Dear Colleagues: This month I would like to discuss the subject of constipation and neural therapy's role in its treatment.  The Dosch textbook suggests a number of injection techniques including epigastric and coeliac plexus injections, quaddles to the small and...

Dear Colleagues: This month I plan to discuss the use of DMPS (dimercapto-propanyl-sulfonate) as it relates to neural therapy. It is a subject that neural therapists sooner or later will encounter, as it is the most powerful chelating agent for mercury. And at least...

Dear Colleagues: At the recent Neural Therapy conference in Vienna, Austria, three case reports were presented.  All three were complex and required many months of pain-staking and careful neural therapy for success.  Potential interference fields were searched for...

Dear Colleagues: I am beginning this newsletter on a flight home from the Austrian Neural Therapy Society's biannual meeting in Vienna.  It was my first experience of a European neural therapy meeting and I have much to report. I learned a great deal at this meeting. ...
