Why Neural Therapy?
Although advances in modern medicine are progressing at an astonishing pace, the fact that the human being is a whole person has unfortunately been overlooked. Diagnosis through laboratory tests, ultrasound, MRI, CT and other radiological examinations often only reveal functional disorders and morphological changes.
However, merely correcting the physical and chemical bodies of patients is not enough for them to be fully healthy. Treatments should also include balancing the mental and energetic states of individuals.
Although the inclusion of psychosomatic factors in the diagnostic and therapeutic processes of modern medicine in recent years is seen as a significant advance, from the perspective of regulatory medicine, we are still far from a holistic approach.
Although the psychosomatic perspective is seen as important for regulatory medicine and holistic medicine, it generally lacks a broader integrative perspective.
If you would like to learn more about this area, I recommend you to review my book “Neural Therapy - Another Treatment is Possible”.
Instead of directly targeting a complaint, the neural therapy approach focuses primarily on analyzing what the disease means, how it arises and what factors are involved in its development. In this way, you can discover what the symptoms are and how neural therapy provides a deeper treatment rather than just suppressing the symptoms.
This is because our body is a perfect structure, organized according to specific rules and cycles in which complex systems such as the circulatory system, metabolism, digestive system, hormonal regulation, temperature control and immune system work in harmony with each other.
All these systems work flawlessly thanks to the constant communication and good management of the cells.
However, one of the most important actors that maintains this balance in order for our body to remain healthy is the nervous system that surrounds every part of the body like a network. This system plays a fundamental role in the perfect functioning of the organism.
When a disease occurs, it doesn't just affect a specific organ, such as the gall bladder, stomach or joints; the whole body system is affected. At this point, it is one of the main tasks of real medicine, especially Neural Therapy Regulation Medicine, to bring the disturbed order back into balance and restore the natural functioning of the organism.
In the Neural Therapy approach, the human body is not just a mechanical collection of organs. In this perspective, a holistic perspective is adopted; in addition to the healthy functioning of the organs, their harmonious relationship with each other, the energy balance of the body, the psychological state of the person and the social environment are also taken into account.
In this context, Neural Therapy evaluates the body through the Autonomic Nervous System, also known as the Vegetative Nervous System (VSS), which regulates all its functions, together with the connective tissue that forms the main axis. Its main aim is to analyze this holistic balance of the body, make a diagnosis and perform the treatment within this framework.
In the early 20th century, the focus was on the concept of a healthy human being, while in the middle of the century, attention shifted to organ health. Towards the end of the century, tissue health was at the forefront, and as the end of the century approached, cell health began to be discussed.
Today, modern medicine now emphasizes the health of genes and genetic factors are being questioned at the root of many diseases. However, the study of many chronic diseases reveals that environmental factors and epigenetic processes play as important a role as genetic inheritance. Although many medical parameters are evaluated from laboratory tests to ultrasound, from MRI to CT, the individual is often not handled with a holistic approach in these analyzes. However, a person can only be considered truly healthy when considered together with his/her environmental factors: From the clothes they wear to the food they consume, from the water they drink to the environment they live in, from quality sleep to balanced physical activity, as well as daily stress management, they can protect themselves from diseases and maintain their health.
Man is not a machine; this is an important fact that we need to remember and take into account.
The modern medical approach of simply repairing the body in parts or replacing damaged parts is not enough to make the body healthy as a whole. Therefore, treatments that aim to heal the symptoms of disease in the body, i.e. damaged organs and tissues, cannot achieve lasting success on their own.
In order to make a person healthy, it is essential to understand that the body, mind and spirit are a whole and that these elements are in constant interaction with each other.
The biological basis of the main regulatory mechanism in our body is the vegetative nervous system.
During stress, the sympathetic nervous system, which is an important part of the vegetative nervous system, becomes overactive and this prevents the structures of the brain with critical functions, such as the vagus nerve, from functioning effectively. At this stage, the person becomes vulnerable to every stimulus they encounter.
In order to lead a healthy life and achieve long-term recovery, the primary goal should be the regulation of the vegetative nervous system.
The most effective method for achieving this regulation and restoring functionality to the nervous system is regulation therapy applied with a neural therapy approach. However, it is important to remember that it is not only irregularities in the nervous system that play a major role in the origin of the disease, but also other products of the body's destruction, such as toxins that have accumulated in the connective tissue and cannot be eliminated.
If these toxins cannot be removed from the body and the body's natural order (regulation) is not restored, organs and tissues begin to show functional disorders after a while, regardless of the person's condition. In the long run, these irregularities will manifest themselves as chronic diseases and even lead to structural damage to the organs.
Each patient is unique; even if the diagnosis is similar, the way in which symptoms manifest themselves varies from person to person. This is why a holistic approach is needed, aiming at the complete and lasting health of the person, rather than just dealing with the symptoms or the disease itself.
The key to successful treatment:
It requires a broader view of the human body. While the morphological approach evaluates physical and chemical parameters, it is essential to include functional integrity in the treatment process. The functional approach should include not only organic functions, but also the energetic state and cybernetic structure. In this context, the most fundamental element of treatment is an accurate diagnosis.
The diagnostic process must be individualized, taking into account the course of changes over time and the functional structure of the individual. This is where neural therapy comes into play; it is a method that bridges the gap between regulatory medicine and modern medicine.
Neural therapy is an effective treatment approach inspired by modern medicine, which has developed its own methods over time and is now considered indispensable for true health.
When and in which cases does neural therapy help?
As part of modern regulatory medicine, neural therapy is a comprehensive method that can affect the entire circulatory system of the organism. It has a positive effect on the nervous, hormonal, musculoskeletal, circulatory and lymphatic systems. It also offers an effective treatment option for problems in the digestive system, gynecological problems, hormonal balances, limbic system, detoxification organs and excretory system. This wide range of effects highlights the versatility of neural therapy.
By regulating circulation, anti-inflammatory effects and removing blockages in the body, the treatment offers effective solutions for both acute and chronic diseases. It can be used as a supportive method especially for pain, gynecological and urological disorders, allergic diseases and internal organ problems.
Neural therapy is based on the body's working mechanisms and neuroanatomical connections. While supporting the diagnostic process, this method benefits from the regulatory effects of local anesthetics on segmental and interference field-induced neuro-immune responses. It aims to heal tissue disorders by adopting a holistic approach.
The basic principle of the treatment is based on “Neurovegetative Regulation”. The main task of the neurovegetative system is to ensure communication between humoral, cellular, neural and hormonal mechanisms and to support the optimal reaction of these mechanisms. However, any disturbance in one of these mechanisms can impair the functionality of the entire system, leading to wider health problems.
Neural therapy is applied by injecting local anesthetic substances into dysfunctional tissues. This not only addresses dysregulation in the neurovegetative system, but also helps to rebalance other regulatory mechanisms. Thus, electrical conduction in nerves and tissues is regulated, impaired body functions are restored to normal levels and patients have the chance to regain their former health.
