The Greek doctor Parmenides is quoted,give me the power to create fever in an ill person,
and I shall be able to cure any disease!” Fever is one of the most powerful healing tools in
nature because it activates the human defense system and viruses and bacteria die easier in
high temperatures. Above all, fever gives the autonomic regulation new impulses.
This is called „conversion” and one can notice that a feverish patient who is at first pale and
freezing, gets a better circulation through his fever, and his hands and feet start to get warm.
The patient relaxes and falls into deep sleep, thus allowing his healing system to work.
But not only in feverish diseases, but in the majority of all diseases the autonomic regulation
plays an important role. This is especially true for acute diseases that go along with pain,
dizziness, unrest or other sensible symptoms. Generally it can be said that whenever a patient
feels uneasy, it`s the autonomic regulation that plays the key role. If the therapist can mange
to rebalance the autonomic regulation – just like fever can – he has an important tool towards
well-being and health.
Before I talk about the therapy of the autonomic regulation, I want to explain the function and
meaning of the autonomic regulation a little more in detail. The autonomic nervous system
steers the organism in a subtle and unconscious way, and has its capital in the hypothalamus.
From there the body is regulated automatically. You can compare it to the air-condition in a
car. The autonomic regulation leads to proper organ functions inside our body. Practically all
functions that aren`t influenced by will- power are steered by the autonomic system, like
heart-beat rate, digestion, skin temperature, blood pressure and sleep. The autonomic
regulation is active, too, when you think in terms of reproduction or emotions.
The autonomic regulation consists of two poles that mark extremes: The sympathicus and the
parasympathicus (called „vagus”). In our daily lives we always swing like a pendulum
between these two poles. While daytime is controlled mainly by an active sympathicus, the
parasympathicus is active during the night. You can spot sympathicus action by: fast pulse,
high blood pressure, fast metabolic system, pale and wet skin, inner tenseness and unrest.
If the parasympathicus is active you will find the contrary, such as slow heart beat, low blood
pressure, slow metabolism, dry skin, a need to rest and sleep, feeling tired, cramps of the
intestines and constriction in the lungs.
If someone is healthy, the autonomic regulation swings like a pendulum from one pole to the
other. This leads to a feeling of well-being, joy and health. But if the autonomic regulation
remains in one position – like an air condition heating too much or cooling too much – we
begin to feel uneasy. The more time we are out of autonomic balance, the more the functions
of the body are disturbed and after some time the first symptoms will show. The following
graphic can show this well:

Harmony – Well-being
Health and well-being depends directly on the proper functions of the autonomic nervous
system. If we have too few challenges from the outer world, we become dull and passive –
and before long this will turn into its contrary – cramps and tensions. People in a
parasympathic condition are mainly tired, suffer from fatigue, loss of interests and a tendency
to sleep, but also cramps in the inner organs like the intestines, leading to constipation can
occur. The head muscles are tense and lead to tension headaches. If you look at these persons,
you will find narrow pupils (miosis), dry skin, tired faces and symptoms like gastric ulcers,
gallbladder cramps, constipation, low blood pressure, slow heartbeat etc. The other edge is
the sympathic condition where you will find nervousness, hectic and alertness. Those persons
do not want to rest or sleep, they have a tendency to suffer from diarrhoea, high blood
pressure and high pulse. The characteristic signs are wide pupils as well as wet skin and a
nervous and hectic appearance.
The reasons for autonomic dysregulation
If the autonomic nervous system doesn`t work properly, one used to put it in terms like
„autonomic malbalance” or „appearing- like- somatic- symptom”. Many persons who are
diagnosed like this, feel misunderstood, and are treated as if they didn`t want to work, or take
advantage of being “out of order”. If a doctor has no clinical findings in his blood tests, the xray
or other, the patient is diagnosed with „autonomic malfunction”. Many doctors feel that
there are emotional reasons behind, and they advise their patients to do psychotherapy and
normalize their life-style. This means doing exercise, no smoking or drinking, going to bed
early and meditation or relaxation.
For the majority of all patients these advices bring about even more distress – because they
feel pushed in the wrong direction, and feel uncomfortable with this kind of treatment.
From my holistic experience – treating persons in a way of natural healing for many years
now – the patients are perfectly right! The advices of conventional medicine aim in the wrong
direction, when it comes to autonomic malfunctions. This is why I want to explain about the
real causes for autonomic malfunctions.
The most important cause are hidden emotional conflicts, that are below the patient`s
conscious mind, and only appear on the surface by psychoenergetic blocks. This is why most
of the patients think that their symptoms can`t be caused by emotional reasons – simply
because they are beyond the reach of their conscousness. These emotional conflicts are deeply
subconscious and can hardly be put in words by the patients. This is a perfect explanation, too
why most patients dislike the traditional “talking psychotherapy”.
3
Disturbances in the psychoenergetic field lead to malfunction of the chakras and finally to
autonomic disturbances. Then the circle is closed, and we can understand clearly how
autonomic malfunctions come into action. When we use the testsystem “Psychosomatic
Energetics”, we can find the disturbed chakra and the connected emotional conflict within
minutes. We can dissolve them in only weeks with the help of specifically designed complex
homeopathic remedies, the socalled “chakra remedies” and “emotional remedies”. Much to
our surprise most of the patients begin to talk about the emotional background of their
diseases after such a treatment. It seems as if the remedies open the door to the subconscious
mind and melt away the blocks– and only then a psychotherapy can really be effective and
“come to the point”.
The other important causes for autonomic malfunctions are geopathic stress, foci, like chronic
infections in the sinuses, and disturbances of organ functions, like the digestional system with
intestines, gallbladder, pancreas or stomach. For testing these organs, I use the “organ testkit”
(Rubimed company) to find out the muscle reaction to different vials. Further examinations
like neuraltherapy and testing the reflexes serve to support my findings. Sometimes I even
need specialists in clinical examination, e.g. in cases of chronic infections in the tonsils that
need surgery. I want to give a few examples why these hidden causes can lead to autonomic
dysbalance. Everyone knows cases of „bad stomach” due to a meal that was intoxicated by
bacteria (salmonella etc). These bacteria disturb the healthy bacteria in the intestines very fast,
and lead to vomiting and diarrhoea. If bad bacteria in the intestines become chronic, they
irritate the autonomic balance and lead to a feeling of unease. Geopathic stress disturbs our
sleeping patterns heavily, causing a feeling of constant fatigue and tiredness. Chronic
infections of the sinuses lead to the miserable feeling of having a constant cold, wearing out a
patient and making him feel sick. Patients usually comprehend in an instant why a certain
autonomic malfunction has led to the disease they suffer from. It doesn`t take studies at the
university, but a practical mind and understanding is enough to get the message.
Because medicine doesn`t have objective testing methods for these malfunctions, many
humans are diagnosed wrongly and are classified as „autonomic malfunction” even though
they suffer from geopathic stress or a focus – and could be helped, if only one knew. This is
where holistic healing has its main place. According to the sentence, “the one who heals, is
the one who is right…” the holistic therapist has to keep an eye on all these hidden causes for
illness. The tighter we come to the real cause at the beginning of the disease, the better the
results will be. Finally autonomic malfunctions will disappear, and the patient will regain his
health – and well-being.

In many cases it`s not sufficient to detect and treat the real cause of an autonomic disturbance,
it`s also necessary to give the patient instant relief in acute crisis. The most simple treatment
is to remove the autonomic block and bring the autonomic pendulum back to swing again. In
acute diseases like common cold, pain, unease or vertigo it`s often enough to rebalance the
autonomic regulation in order to achieve fast and good results.
My colleague Dr. Ernst Hartmann, the discoverer of the global cosmic net (also called
Hartmann net), had understood this important law for healers, and in the sixties he invented
„Polyxan blau” (for treating sympathicus) and „Polyxan gelb” (for treating the Vagus). These
homeopathic remedies are made from meadow grasses that grow on geopathically disturbed
spots. Nowadays there are two new homeopathic remedies called „Simvita” (for treating
sympathicus) and „Paravita” (for treating the vagus), and they show wunderful results, much
faster and stronger than the ones I had before. If you test the pulse rate and look at the pupil of
your patient, you can easily find out which one of the two he or she will need. You can test
these remedies as vials in a muscle test, too. If e.g. the arm gets weak when stressed with
„Simvita”, the patient will need exactly this medication to rebalance his autonomic regulation,
and feel well again.
In acute cases the dosage is 10 drops per hour, and can be reduced to three times 10 drops
daily,as soon as the patient feels better. Hartmann advised to take 40 drops in a glass of water,
and drink a zip every 5 to 10 minutes until the client feels relief. Sensitive persons feel the
relief even in minutes. You can use “Simvita” and “Paravita” in practically all cases of acute
5
diseases that you would normally treat with natural remedies, like common cold. I could feel
the effects myself, when I caught a cold, and healed it within one day with Simvita.
You can also use Simvita or „Polyxan blau” wherever sympathicus regulation is out of
balance – starting from tachycardias to nervousness and anxieties (where you can combine it
perfectly with „anxiovita” – another wonderful homeopathic remedy especially designed for
all kinds of anxieties). I learnt from a colleague that she even treated a patient`s hypertensive
crisis with Simvita – and was successful. Paravita and Polyxan gelb respectively, are good for
all vagotonic conditions, like weakness, cramps, vertigo, dizziness, and low blood pressure.
Other classical indications are chronic pains and diseases that go along with cramps and
tensions.
Outlook
Any therapy that leads to relief and bettering of symptoms, almost automatically rebalances
the autonomic regulation. If you do an acupuncture, a massage or prescribe a fitting remedy,
you will always get autonomic balance, if you have pushed the right buttons. The important
point is that we get a better understanding for the connections between psychoenergy and
physiology, and that we use the tools we have in the best possible way. Better understanding
will lead to medical treatment that is both holistic and deep-going, and converts the patient in
his whole physical-emotional and mental being.
Conversion means:
?? That autonomic polarity is turned into ist opposite by therapeutic means,
?? The patient comes back into a state of harmony and
?? Life force begins to flow again, and healing mechanisms can start.
But conversion is even more, as any experienced therapist knows. The patient`s whole
existence begins to change, and many persons develop, and open up, speaking in emotional
terms, they become friendlier and regain hope. Healing diseases and healing the mi nd and
spirit in a religious sense are tightly connected, and the full range of results can only be seen if
we really manage to bring our patients to a holistic conversion. The best way to do so, is, as I
tried to show, finding the real causes, treating them and aiming at the autonomic balance.
