Introduction to European Biological Medicine
European Biological Medicine is a holistic form of medicine that has been used and refined for thousands of years by some of history’s greatest medical, scientific and philosophical masters. It is based on the approach of treating the patient – not the disease – by restoring and balancing one’s own healing mechanisms.
Many patients feel their health problems have dominated their lives, affecting work, relationships, and beyond. Relying solely on conventional methods does very little to address root causes, and typically does not lead to sustainable, long-term health. Unlike western medicine, which predominantly relies on a symptomatic approach to healing, Biological Medicine supports and enhances the body’s natural healing systems to do what they are meant to do – function optimally. This is accomplished by proper nutrition, cleansing the body of toxins, and restoration of the natural innate systemic regulation that all of us are born with. Biological medicine views disease and its symptoms as some sort of imbalance, toxicity or physiological disturbance which can be caused by a variety of factors, ranging from emotional issues to physical stressors to environmental toxicity. If the root cause of a particular ailment or disease is not addressed, then the body’s ability to attain and sustain complete health is extremely limited.
There have been many advancements and a plethora of research in the field of European biological medicine, including the work of Dr. Alfred Pischinger. In 1975, Dr. Pischinger, then Professor of Histology and Embryology at the University of Vienna, presented the results of a lifetime of research on the extracellular matrix which illustrated that the origins of health were not in the individual cells of the body, but within the connective tissue of the matrix. This understanding acts as a basic principle for all types of European biological medicine.
Benefits of European Biological Medicine
Clinical experience has shown that European biological medicine may be used for a number of conditions and issues and that the benefits include:
- Provides therapeutic support to organs and systems of the body
- Focuses on root causes of disease rather than symptom management
- Improves the function of the body on three levels – biochemical, psycho-emotional, and informational
- Ends symptoms and optimizes health by restoring the body to equilibrium
- Stimulates organs of elimination for maximum detoxification
- Gentle, safe and free of side-effects
How European Biological Medicine Works
Biological medicine consists of many different therapies that are based on a simple philosophy: if biological processes are corrected within the body and the proper function of organs is restored, the body will naturally heal itself.
Many of the problems that modern medicine faces are based on the truth that treating on a symptomatic basis can be complex. The ICD-10 (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10th Revision) currently has several hundreds of codes for symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, and ill-defined conditions. With more and more medications that work directly on a single symptom, the treatment of multi-faceted, multi-symptomatic conditions has become very complex.
Much of medicine has become obsessed with alleviating symptoms, and success in the conventional medical arena is defined as the relief of symptoms. Yet a new notion among many in the medical community is challenging this current model. A new approach focusing on regulation and restoration of the systems and organs of the body, rather than management and suppression of symptoms that are often associated with disease and illness is now gaining steam.
By targeting systems and organs where underlying dysfunctions first occur, rather than surface-level individual symptoms, practitioners, and patients find greater long-term results with a systemic approach to healing. This simplified manner of treatment not only then regulates and restores the proper functioning of systems/organs of the body but simultaneously relieves symptoms that are exhibiting because of underlying causative dysfunctions. Although this process may take a longer amount of time, it is exponentially more advantageous when compared to the alternative of life-long maintenance of symptoms without ever addressing root cause dysfunctions.
As Dr. Alfred Pischinger proved, the matrix is crucial to health and disease because it supports everything – it brings nutrition, oxygen, hormones, and other vital substances to the tissues and removes excretion products and toxins. Biological medicine focuses on uncovering the blockages on a cellular level that allow the body to regulate itself. The blockages are the underlying causes of illnesses. Every symptom is a sign of deep-rooted systemic dysfunction and symptoms that may not seem connected often stem from the same underlying issue. For example, fibrocystic or dense breasts and migraines can have the commonality of liver detoxification insufficiencies.
Some of the key aspects of biological medicine include cleansing and detoxifying the body, building digestive strength through the intestines and GI tract, strengthening the immune system, and generally focusing on systemic dysfunction rather than symptomatic.
Biological medicine utilizes multiple forms of therapies to treat the patient, some of which include:
- Infusions – mostly for alkalizing and nutrient building
- Neural Therapy – uses injections and formulations to regulate function of the organs
- Isopathy – Also known as pleomorphism, this is the application of Enderlein’s work
- Anthroposophic Medicine – Understanding the biological and circadian rhythms of the body and organs
- Spagyric Medicines – Simultaneous therapeutic action on three lives of body
- Homeopathy – bringing harmony to the system
- Homotoxicology – to reverse disease and draining organs of all toxins
- Orthomolecular Medicine – nutrients for health
- Herbal Therapies – age-old practices of utilizing herbs and plants to heal
- Biopuncture / Acupuncture

In addition, half the children received homeopathic treatment and half received a placebo. The study confirmed homeopathy’s effectiveness: the recovery time for children receiving homeopathic treatment was 20% faster than those receiving the placebo, reducing the bout of diarrhea by one day. These results are heartening because diarrhea is the leading cause of death in developing countries such as Nicaragua.

Introduction to Family Constellation Therapy
Family Constellation Therapy (also known as Hellinger Therapy, Systemic Constellations, and Systemic Family Constellations) is a form of emotional therapy and a three-dimensional group process that has the power to shift generations of suffering and unhappiness. This alternative therapeutic method helps to reveal the hidden dynamics in a family or relationship in order to find and address any stressors that are negatively impacting them.
Bert Hellinger, the founder of Systematic Constellations, who practiced this method for more than 50 years, observed that many patients unconsciously adopt destructive familial patterns of anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, alcoholism, and even illness as a way of loyalty to their families. For instance, bonded by a deep love, a child will often sacrifice his or her own best interests in order to attempt to ease the suffering of a parent or other family member.
The goal of family constellations is to allow a patient to break these toxic patterns so that they may live healthier and happier by setting a new life course.
Benefits Family Constellation Therapy
Clinical experience has shown that family constellation therapy may be used for a number of conditions and issues and that the benefits include:
- Reveals hidden cross-generational patterns that are affecting our lives through unconscious loyalty to family
- Helps to find the “right place” within our family and discovering ourselves
- Empowers and strengthens our capacity to respond to challenges
- Connects us to the source by letting go of uncovered toxic relationships or memories
- Frees from remembering and analyzing the past
How Family Constellation Works
Just as one inherits eye color and blood type, they also inherit the residue from traumatic events that have taken place in a family. While physical traits are easily discernible, this emotional legacy is often hidden. Anxiety, fear, financial worries, depression, illness, and unhappy relationships can all be forms of unconscious inheritance.
Family Constellation Therapy is an effective therapy that is an alternative to traditional counseling and that is very established and popular in Europe and spreading around the world. It is quite powerful and effective at uncovering unfavorable or detrimental situations and providing solutions to relieve emotional stress. Most patients resolve their issue in a relatively short time using Family Constellations or a combination of therapy and constellation work. It is a relatively, quick, easy and cost-effective method. For many, this is a profound life-changing experience.
Family constellation therapy normally involves working in a group setting. A therapist or facilitator will work with family members to help reveal the hidden dynamics in a family or specific relationship in order to identify and correct any stressors and negative emotions impacting these relationships. Ultimately, the goal is to heal all issues within the family that are creating problems.
It has been found that changes within a patient may often result in unexpected changes around them. This may be due to changes in the connecting field of which one is involved and/or unconscious shifts due to starting an impulse in the personal and family soul that is set in motion by the Family Constellation process.
Family constellation is indicated for those with emotional disturbances and unresolved trauma that has afflicted a family through an event such as murder, suicide, death of a mother in childbirth, the early death of a parent or sibling, war, natural disaster, emigration, or abuse.

Introduction to Gerson Therapy
Gerson Therapy is a safe and natural, full microbiome shifting, and mostly nutritional therapy aimed at revitalizing the body’s own healing potential by removing as much of the accumulated toxic burdens as possible and increasing oxygenation to all affected cells. The protocol involves juicing, a strict alkaline dietary regimen, specific supplements, and daily coffee enemas. The therapy is used in various diseases including cancer, degenerative diseases, heart disease and more. The therapy, created by Dr. Max Gerson, was first noted in the 1930s as a treatment for a type of tuberculosis and other uses for the therapy were seen as effective later on.
Over the last 50 years, our industrially advanced society has been increasingly exposed to more toxins, chemicals, prescription drugs, and poor quality food, water, and air than ever before. As a result, the population faces more complex and chronic conditions adversely impacting a once natural, healthy environment and ecosystem. We can now certainly point out two underlying causes of chronic diseases such as toxicity and deficiency and must take steps to restore and detoxify our bodies through natural remedies and healthy lifestyles.
Dr. Gerson reasoned that many common diseases were brought about by toxic, altered, and harmful food, water and air. Constant consumption and contact with these toxins lead to serious detrimental conditions. The Gerson therapy seeks to regenerate the body to health with a diet that consists of almost 20 pounds of organically grown fruits and vegetables daily as well as a progressive detoxification program using coffee enemas.
While every individual responds differently, the Gerson Therapy has been witnessed to have impressive results in patients suffering from the following diseases: melanoma, lymphoma, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Gerson Therapy can be used as a complementary therapy to help achieve a better quality of life, even in cases where full recovery may not seem possible.
Benefits of Gerson Therapy
Clinical experience has shown that Gerson therapy may be used for a number of conditions and issues and that the benefits include:
- Activates the body’s extraordinary ability to heal itself through specific and selective dietary guidelines
- Implements fresh and organic products which help to detoxify and regenerate the liver.
- Boosts the body’s own defense to fight disease with an increase in oxygenation
How Gerson Therapy Works
Gerson therapy treats the underlying causes of disease: toxicity and nutritional deficiency. It heals the body as a whole, rather than selectively targeting a specific condition or symptom. Over the past 60 years, thousands of people have used the Gerson Therapy to assist in their recovery from chronic degenerative diseases.
The therapy utilizes juicing of fruits and vegetables in order to saturate the body with the essential enzymes, minerals, and nutrients needed for rejuvenating effects. Throughout the day, it is recommended that a person drink 1 cup of organic juice, 13 times daily. Raw and cooked solid foods are eaten in moderation. A result of the diet is an increase in oxygenation (usually more than doubled), an essential matter for combating degenerative diseases. The metabolism is also stimulated through the addition of natural supplements by avoiding heavy animal fats, excess protein, sodium, and other toxins.
Detoxification is also a very important element of Gerson therapy. Years of toxic overload must be addressed in order to stimulate a healing effect. Coffee enemas are one of the most effective and natural ways to detoxify and support the body. It has been reported that patients who employ enemas stimulate healing and relieve pain. This has been shown to enhance the body’s ability to eliminate toxins from environmental, chemotherapeutic agents, and other harmful substances. The enemas work partly because of the presence of caffeine, which smooths muscles and causes dilation of blood vessels and bile ducts. Another benefit of using coffee is that it contains enzymes called palmitates which stimulate the liver to eliminate toxins.
The following is a typical daily diet for a Gerson patient on the full therapy regimen:
Thirteen glasses of fresh, raw carrot/apple and green-leaf juices prepared hourly from fresh, organic fruits and vegetables
Three full vegetarian meals, freshly prepared from organically grown fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. A typical meal will include salad, cooked vegetables, baked potatoes, vegetable soup, and juice.
Fresh fruit and fresh fruit dessert available at all hours for snacking, in addition to the regular diet.

Benefits of HALO Light Therapy
There are many systemic benefits of HALO botanical (or HALO biophotonic) light therapy. Benefits including:
- Normalize cellular function
- Optimize the immune system by helping it recognize pathogens and regulate cellular growth
- Aid in pain reduction (migraines, joint pain, sciatica, generalized pain, nerve pain, etc.)
- Nourishes the skin and manages conditions like eczema and psoriasis
- Stimulates proper detoxification
- Reduction of anxiety and nervous tension
- Decrease fatigue
- Assists in digestive inflammation and normalization of digestive functions
HALO biophotonic light therapy also has antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Introduction to HALO Light Therapy
HALO botanical light therapy is a unique energetic device that harnesses the power of both plants and light. HALO botanical light therapy provides a holistic and natural solution to a number of issues in the body. Special LED lights shine at a specific frequency through vials filled with herbs, plants, and amino acids, delivering distinct energetic properties and frequencies directly into the body.
It’s the combination of these two natural forces (plants and light), at the perfect frequency and formulation, that makes HALO botanical light therapy a unique therapeutic option.
How HALO Works
HALO botanical light therapy uses high output violet LEDs which are sent through vials of unique, healing botanical formulas for optimum benefit. Each vial contains various proprietary botanical combinations that serve as the key to facilitating your body’s healing responses.
These natural materials are made from numerous wild-harvested, renewable resources including exotic botanical extracts, traditional Chinese extracts and herbs, medicinal mushrooms, amino acid complexes, and other botanicals.
HALO botanical light therapy provides a specialized combination of:
- A specific frequency of violet light
- Various proprietary botanical combinations
This unique combination brings the power of plants and light directly to the body. Light therapy uses photons that are known to stimulate cellular healing, growth, and metabolism. This light is absorbed into the superficial layers of the skin, encouraging healing and restoration.
In addition to the benefits of photon introduction, the light transmits the botanical energies into the tissues and body from the botanical extracts after passing through the HALO botanical vials.
The therapy itself is short and pain-free. The patient sits in front of the HALO biophotonic light device for a maximum of 1-2 minutes, often with slow movement to allow the light HALO device to fully be absorbed through the skin. This includes the mucosal tissue lining the inside of the mouth, so patients are typically advised to have their mouth opened in a relaxed position to allow the information from the botanicals to be absorbed deeply into the mucosa.
The HALO’s UV light shines through specifically selected botanical vial(s) depending on the treatment goal. Each vial consists of different ingredients based on what the vial assists with. Some botanical vials target the immune system, longevity, viral pathogens, etc.

Introduction to Ho’oponopono
Hoʻoponopono (ho-o-pono-pono – also called Self I-dentity through Ho’oponopono) is an ancient Hawaiian self-transformation technique for healing and an effective spiritual therapy. It is a practice of reconciliation and forgiveness, and was originally taught by Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona, a hawaiian healer, back in 1983.
It is defined as “mental cleansing: family conferences in which relationships were set right through prayer, discussion, confession, repentance, and mutual restitution and forgiveness.” In the past, a kahuna or doctor would be called into a family context to uncover problems, practice forgiveness and release each other from recriminations, grudges and guilt.
Today, Ho’oponopono may be used as a complementary therapy by both practitioners and patients. Self I-dentity through Ho’oponopono therapy teaches patients and practitioners who they are, and how they can solve problems moment to moment. It’s meant to help with healing any toxic bonds or traumas by using the role model of high values.
An essential component to Ho’oponopono come from the principles of consciousness, as defined by the late Dr. David Hawkins. Dr. Hawkins postulated that each level of consciousness coincides with determinable human behaviors and perceptions about life, each representing a corresponding attractor field of varying strength that exists beyond our three-dimensional reality.
Think of it this way – as part of the Unconscious Mind, we all carry inside us all the significant people in our lives (this idea is very similar to Carl Jung’s archetypes). Ho’oponopono makes it “all right” with them. The process of Ho’oponopono is to align with and clean up our genealogy as well as to clean up our relationships with other people in our lives.
Benefits of Ho’oponopono
Clinical experience has shown that Ho’oponopono technique may be used for a number of spiritual and emotional issues, and that the benefits include:
- Helps to achieve balance
- Easy to learn stress reliever
- Can be self applied
- Improved response to therapies and treatments
- Recovery from the anger and distress of negative experiences
- Acceptance to various situations
- Enhanced confidence and clarity
- Removal of past negative emotional ties
- A deeper connection to the Divine
- A greater sense of purpose
How Ho’oponopono Works
How does Ho’oponopono work? Morrnah Nalamaku, the founder explains,
“We are the sum total of our experiences, which is to say that we are burdened by our pasts. When we experience stress or fear in our lives, if we would look carefully, we would find that the cause is actually a memory. It is the emotions which are tied to these memories which affect us now. The subconscious associates an action or person in the present with something that happened in the past. When this occurs, emotions are activated and stress is produced (…) The main purpose of this process is to discover the Divinity within oneself. Ho’oponopono is a profound gift which allows one to develop a working relationship with the Divinity within and learn to ask that in each moment, our errors in thought, word, deed or action be cleansed. The process is essentially about freedom, complete freedom from the past.”
Ho’oponopono helps one to take responsibility, and provides the following insights:
- The physical universe is an actualization of my thoughts
- If my thoughts are cancerous, they create a cancerous physical reality
- If my thoughts are perfect, they create a physical reality brimming with LOVE
- I am 100% responsible for creating my physical universe the way it is
- I am 100% responsible for correcting the cancerous thoughts that create a diseased reality
- There is no such thing as out there. Everything exists as thoughts in my mind.
- Being 100% responsible for actualizing a problem allows the practitioner/patient to be 100% responsible for resolving the problem.
Ho’oponopono consists of four phrases:
- “I am sorry.”
- “Please forgive me.”
- “I love you.”
- “Thank you.”
Through repetition of these phrases while holding a negative thought, emotion, or experience in the mind, a cleansing of certain memory programs occurs. Ho’oponopono teachers call this practice “cleaning,” in which a patient or practitioner cleanses their negative feelings and emotions to erase from their memory or consciousness the negative cycle that is detrimental to optimal healing. The repetition of these phrases is an expression that one no longer wishes to suffer from a current or past problem.

Introduction to the PL2020
The PL2020 photoluminescence device offers proven and calibrated ultraviolet therapy to cleanse the blood and body of pathogens and restore vital function. The PL2020 provides ultraviolet blood irradiation (UVBI) using cutting-edge technology including pure crystal cuvettes instead of tubular cuvettes. UVBI has been around since the 1930s to treat bacterial viral infections, but due to a lack of full understanding of how to harness the power of UV light therapy, it phased out in the 1950s.
Thanks to advances in science and light calibration, the PL2020 provides precise, safe, and potent UVBI therapy to aid in a wide range of illnesses. By oxygenating the blood using UVBI technology, your blood can be cleansed of toxins and infection, elevated blood pressure can be stabilized, and viruses like the flu can be removed.
Benefits to the PL2020
UVBI therapy promotes healing, kills harmful pathogens in the body, and supports your own body’s healing systems. Benefits of PL2020 UVBI therapy include:
- Increases oxygen absorption into body tissues
- Destroys fungal, viral, and bacterial growth
- Improves circulation and decreases platelet aggregation
- Improves circulation by dilating blood vessels
- Improves the body’s ability to detoxify and inactivate or remove toxins
- Activates cortisone-like molecules, sterols, into vitamin D

PL2020 works by providing state-of-the-art photoluminescence therapy through intravenous infusions of UV light. It is a major autohemotherapy (MAH) that involves the extraction of approximately ½ pint of the patient’s blood from the vein and into an IV bag.
An intravenous (IV) catheter is then placed in a vein in the arm where blood is sent through the PL2020 device. Rather than using tubular-shaped cuvettes, PL2020 uses flat, pure crystal cuvettes that more evenly spread and thin the blood making it more receptive to UV light therapy. Once the blood is in the cuvette, it is exposed to carefully calibrated ultraviolet energy to oxygenate the blood and kill pathogens.
Once the blood has been exposed to this healing energy, it is then returned to the body through the same IV catheter to pass on the healing benefits to the entire body. The goal is for the blood that has been irradiated by the UV light to transfer and pass on the effect to the rest of the blood, organs, and tissues of the body to provide holistic and systemic healing.

Behind the Science
Science & Safety
The treatment of infectious disease with a medical device: results of a clinical trial of ultraviolet blood irradiation (UVBI) in patients with hepatitis C infection Int J Infect Dis .
UVBI therapy was used in nine patients who had the hepatitis C virus and subsequent infection. After 15 treatments spaced out over 22 weeks, the viral load of hepatitis C was reduced by 21.5%. There were two patients who also suffered from psoriasis and they noticed an improvement in their psoriasis symptoms as well. Researchers concluded UVBI to be safe and effective in treating hepatitis C and encouraged further research to evaluate benefits regarding psoriasis.
Effect of UV-irradiation of blood on the course of adaptation to conditions of hypodynamia A V Zor’kina, V I Inchina, Ia V Kostin
A study done with rabbits found UVBI to be beneficial in helping the body adapt to stress induced by long-term hypodynamia (loss of power).
Use of Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation Against Viral Infections Clinical Reviews in Allergy & Immunology
UVBI therapy has been used to help prevent organ rejection in animal models when it comes to organ transplants. UVBI inhibited the immune system from rejecting the donor cells and organs. This shows how UVBI is able to regulate immune system response as well as treat infection and this may be why PL2020 therapy is beneficial in treating autoimmune-related diseases like Lyme disease and fibromyalgia.
The Effects of Ultraviolet Light Irradiation on Hematological and Morphological Characteristics and Potassium Level of Human Blood for Transfusion Associated Graft Versus Host Disease Prevention |Golsa Tabatabaei Yazdi et al.|
In another study, UVBI was found to be safe and effective for preventing Transfusion Associated Graft Versus Host Disease (TAGVHD). Not only did UVBI reduce reaction and rejection, but it also did not damage the red blood cell membrane or affect potassium levels.

Receiving Therapy
Receiving PL2020 Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation Treatments
We are pleased to be one of very few clinics in the world to offer PL2020 treatments at our clinic, the New York Center for Innovative Medicine (NYCIM). Additionally, we offer normal ultraviolet blood irradiation therapy. However, the use of this or any of our numerous therapeutic options is only performed on patients after an in-depth health evaluation. Our ultimate goal is the complete restoration of health in the most efficient and safe manner, and with so many therapeutic options, it is impossible to know if PL2020 is right for you without an initial evaluation at our clinic.
