The Potential of Heilkunst Medicine

By Sandra Weizman, DMH, DHHP

Heilkunst is a new holistic system of medicine created to fit the demands of our times – stress, pollution, and chronic diseases that range from anxiety disorders to cancer or fibromyalgia, and extend to childhood disorders such as autism, ADHD, asthma and severe allergies. Heilkunst puts together a full picture of the problem, taking into account nutritional needs, emotional stress, specific injuries to the body or the psyche, as well as spiritual needs of the patient.

My son was diagnosed with autism in 1997. After years of frustration with the dearth of medical treatments that were effective, I stumbled upon Heilkunst Medicine when he was eight years old. Now an outgoing young man, he inspires all who meet him with his compassion, work ethic and charm. After seeing the remarkable improvements in my own son's condition, I decided to embark on studies to become a Heilkunst practitioner. Having graduated in 2011, I established my Heilkunst practice in Calgary.

The patients I treat run the gamut of chronic issues. After a long, circuitous route, each of the following individuals had come to the right place for treatment. These are a few examples of my success stories:

'Martin' was a teenage boy with severe autism. Deaf and non-verbal, he also had severe seizures, combined with chronic constipation and a sleep disorder. Within six months of Heilkunst treatment, his 24-hour EEG indicated that he was seizure free. His neurologist recommended weaning him off his anti-convulsant medication. His use of sign language improved to the point where he was able to engage in conversations with his family. He began enjoying bedtime stories and for the first time, was able to comprehend what was being read to him.

'Melanie' was a 12-year-old girl who suffered from separation anxiety disorder. Having been a victim of domestic abuse, she was fearful of finding "bad guys" in her closet and wherever she ventured. If she would go to a girlfriend's home for a sleepover, by midnight she would invariably call her mother in a panic and insist on coming home. Within nine months of starting treatment, she was thriving at school; she was enjoying sleepovers with girlfriends, and her chronic fears were all but forgotten.

'Ryan' was a six-year-old boy with OCD who often exhibited extreme aggression. His mother reported that even as a toddler in the supermarket's shopping cart, 'Ryan' would reach out and grab or hit other babies whose buggies they would pass. After a year of treatment, Ryan is now a loving, well-behaved child who excels at school and makes and keeps friends easily.

While I love treating children, I also enjoy treating adults. However, my first preference is to treat the mother and/or father and child together. We often find there is a resonance in that when the parent's health and emotional wellbeing improve, so does that of her child, and vice versa. In mainstream medicine, we are led to believe that health is an absence of symptoms. In actual fact, one may have diseases long before symptoms appear. Even when there are no physical symptoms, there is the patient's state of emotional wellbeing to consider.

Heilkunst Medicine encompasses Mind, Body, Soul and Spirit. Together with the patient, we create a timeline of all their life's traumas, both physical and emotional, with the concept that emotional traumas trigger physical disease and vice versa. While using homeopathic remedies to treat both timeline traumas and physical and mental symptoms, this comprehensive system of medicine treats the whole person and annihilates the root causes of their diseases, instead of merely addressing symptoms. This treatment will lead you on a unique, personal journey toward health and wholeness.
