Heilkunst Treatment FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Heilkunst treatment involve?
Three areas of health are addressed when you are undergoing Heilkunst treatment:
Regimen: Your lifestyle is discussed to determine what is out of balance in your diet, nutrition, exercise, sleep, hydration, and relaxation. Corrections are made in these areas to bring you back into balance.
Medicine: Highly diluted medicines are used to treat any diseases you may have acquired through various shocks and traumas (physical and emotional) throughout your life. You also have an inherited predisposition to chronic diseases, called miasms. Disease is a deeper impairment of your life force.
Therapeutic Education: Any false beliefs that you may have about yourself are addressed. False beliefs about yourself and the world are the biggest contributors to disease. You may think that you are not good enough to be successful, and therefore you may undermine your own success. The false beliefs are addressed through discussion with your Heilkunstler.
Regimen
Initially, you will meet with a Heilkunstler for an assessment of your regimen. Are there any imbalances contributing to your dis-ease. Are you eating enough of the right foods, getting enough fresh air and exercise, and are you able to relax sufficiently?
In this part of the consultation, you will be asked about the many aspects of your regimen, including the supplements that you are taking, and any other therapies you may be engaging in, for example, acupuncture, yoga, massage, and so forth.
You will also be asked for information on any allopathic or conventional drugs or herbs you are taking so any potential interactions and nutrient depletions can be identified.
It's important to determine what is causing your imbalance: what is related to your lifestyle and what is related to disease? The practitioner can recommend appropriate foods and or supplements to balance your regimen.
Once regimen is addressed, you will learn what a timeline is, and why it's important to treat the traumas in your life.
Using Medicine - Treating the Timeline
Often after making changes to your regimen, you may still have some disease conditions that need to be treated. Conditions that remain after your regimen has been balanced are rooted in your traumatic history. This is why we ask you to prepare a timeline listing all the traumatic and dramatic events that have happened to you over the course of your lifetime.
A timeline is a chronological listing of the traumatic events in your life, from pre-birth to the present. Your practitioner will want to know the types of events that have had a physical or emotional impact on you.
Physical
Pre-birth - ultrasounds or invasive testing, any drugs, smoking, or alcohol by the mother, any emotional shocks to the mother during pregnancy.
Birth - difficult labour, forceps, use of anaesthetics on mother, oxygen deprivation.
Vaccinations - did you receive any vaccinations in your lifetime?
Accidents - car accidents, falls, blows to the head, broken bones, animal bites.
Surgical Interventions - tonsils, appendix, dental, circumcision, C-section, vasectomy, hysterectomy, and so forth.
Drug Use - recreational drugs, antibiotics, anti-depressants
Hormones - birth control pill, hormone replacement
Severe Infections - Lyme disease, mononucleosis, Epstein-Barr, measles, chicken pox, mumps, TB, pneumonia, and so forth
Mental/Emotional
Traumas involving the following emotions:
Loss, abandonment, grief, betrayal, for example: death of a loved one, loss of trust, relationship breakups, and job loss
Great fear, anxiety, and stress
Anger, indignation, humiliation (especially when the emotions were suppressed), and guilt that someone tried to put on you.
Envy, jealousy, or guilt you put on yourself, self-blame, shame.
Abuse, whether mental, emotional, physical or sexual.
The Heilkunstler will use the timeline as a general guide for the restoration of your health, using medicine (the appropriate remedies) to remove the shock or trauma.
Miasms
After the removal of the physical and emotional traumas, the inherited predispositions to disease, called the chronic miasms, are addressed.
Therapeutic Education
Health is freedom from all limitations.
How long does Heilkunst treatment take?
This depends on you, and your history, i.e. it is very individualized. Logically, a child with few traumas and interventions will go through the treatment more quickly than an adult who has had a lifetime of challenges.
The number of traumatic events on your timeline, as well as what takes place in your life as you go through treatment (for example, giving birth, dental work, death in the family, and so forth) will determine how long it might take. You can review this with your practitioner to get a general idea from them of the time they expect treatment to take.
Can I do other treatment modalities during Heilkunst treatment or do they interfere?
This is something you definitely need to discuss with your Heilkunstler as it depends on the treatment modality itself.
