Individualized Medicine is the teaching of Dr. Gerard Gueniot, MD from France.
He has treated patients with Homeopathy for over 30 years.
In addition, he has established four schools of Homeopathy and two acupuncture schools in France and Belgium.
Dr. Gueniot is recognized as a leading expert in miasmatic drainage,
Unda numbered compounds, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
He lectures extensively around the world, and is the author of three books on holistic health.
He has continued research in Homeopathy with his team of doctors:
Patrick Depoers, MD, Franck Ledoux, MD, Bruno Charcornac, MD, and Pierre Tondelier, MD.
Seroyal, an importer of European Homeopathic remedies has sponsored educational activities with Dr. Gueniot for over 9 years. I have taken introductory classes in the philosophical basis of Individualized Medicine and the use of the UNDA Numbers since 2002.
Then in 2006, I attended the Master's Program in Homeopathic Medicine, held in four sessions in Toronto. This was the quitessential class in Individualized Medicine, as it pulled together Temperament, Constitution, and Reactional Mode in a coherent way. The class detailed the prescription of single homeopathic remedies, which were grouped according to reactional mode for best understanding. The biotherapy remedies were also taught as complimentary treatment.
Individualized Medicine is based on the roots of the word:
the one “In” divided “divi” in two “dual.”
The division is into the physical body and the heavenly body. Individualized Medicine maintains that the purpose of life on earth is to unify the two, to accept the animal body and bring it to the heavenly level of the spirit. Individualized medicine assists in accomplishing this purpose.
Hahnemann, the founder of Homeoapthy, talks about the vital force in an individual, which gives the organism an ability to react. The basis of Individualized Medicine is on the individual's innate ability to react and self-regulate. This means that health is the stable state which the mechanisms aim to bring the person back to.
This principle is embodied in the phrase “physiology prevails over pathology.” We study normal physiology to find out how the body works.
In fact, detailed study of human development in terms of maturation of organ systems and immunity helps us understand where a deviation from health may have originated. It allows us to give the body a chance to redo the stages of development at a certain stage of healing, so the ability to self-regulate is fully recovered.
Individualized medicine is not concerned with a study of pathology, the study of diseases, because that does not lead to recovered self-regulation. Disease is simply the imbalance of physiology from the past.
The doctor, therefore, must uncover the path the patient has followed in becoming sick and how he functions during the state of sickness. Then, through the law of similars and the use of Homeopathic remedies, the patient can reverse this process to recover health.
Recovery of the Capacity to Self-Regualte: Diet and Elimination
This reversal to recover health is the recovery of the capacity to self-regulate. In order to do that, four areas must be addressed. The first is the diet, so that the patient eats clean foods so that the body is nourished and rebuilt. All stages of digestion must be supported for this to happen.
The second is how the patient functions in the elimination of toxins, both accumulated from the outside and generated from inside. The capacity to eliminate modifies the physiological functioning of the person. The organs of elimination are aided to open and toxins encouraged to leave starting inside the cells and all the way out. In addition, physical activity encourages proper elimination.
Recovery of the Capacity to Self-Regualte: Thinking and Behavior, and Heredity
The third is how the patient lives in terms of thinking which becomes evident in behavior. The three functions of the brain must be balanced: the drive and tendency, the sensitivity and feeling, and the reasoning and understanding.
Finally, the heredity, the pre-disposition of the individual, as unavoidable, defines the individual. It is influenced by the way of living and must be balanced.
The heredity consists of constitution, the potential to develop the inner being, the temperament, the social and biological behavior, and the reactional mode, the way one reacts to the environment.
