I n t r o d u c t i o n

The human bock is a complicated structuremade up of bone, muscles, tendons,ligaments and intervertebral discs. Thesupporting element is the spine.

The adult spine has four segments anddisplays in the sagittal plane four typicalcurvatures which have developed in orderto cushion stresses following man'sadaptation to an upright gait on two legs.More precisely from cranial to caudal thefollowing segments and curvatures may bed i f f e ren t i a ted :

1. Cervical spine - cervical lordosis2. Thoracic spine - thoracic kyphosis3. Lumbar spine - lumbar lordosis4. Sacral spine (os sacrum) - sacral kyphosis

The cervical spine together with the thoracicand lumbar spine are also termed thepresacral spine. From a medical viewpointthe transitional regions between theindividual segments of the spine areclinically significant as they represent thosepoints most prone to spinal conditions suchas disc herniation. The vertebrae in thesetransitional regions may occasionallydisplay an atypical shape and are thentermed "transitional vertebrae". This isrelatively often the cose at the transitionfrom the lumbar spine to the sacrum.Depending on how the atypical transition isformed, we differentiate betweenlumbarisation where there is non-fusion ofthe 1 st sacral vertebra with the os sacrum

making an additional lumbar vertebra, andsacralisation where the 5th lumbar vertebrafuses with the sacrum.

The spine is usually curved and integratedinto the pelvic girdle in such a way as toproduce characteristic angles and axes.

It is interesting that within the weight vectorof the human body lie the external auditorycanal, the Dens axis of the 2nd cervicalvertebra, the anatomically-functionaltransition zones of the spine betweenlordoses and kyphoses plus the centre ofgravity of the whole body immediatelyventral to the promontory.

Of particular interest is the researchconducted at the Institute of Anatomy at theUniversity of Eriangen (Professor Rohen,Professor Lutien-Drecoll) which showed thatthe normal position of the spine in thenewborn is kyphotic without any lordoticsegment of the cervical or lumbar spines.This comes from the curved position of thefoetus during pregnancy. The position ofthe spine only develops during post-natallife. Therefore in the first instance cervicallordosis develops for balancing the headinvolving the neck muscles as they becomestronger, and over time lumbar lordosisalso OS we learn to sit, stand and walk. Thiscontinues in strength until the legs con bestretched out into the hip joints. Lumbarlordosis stabilises in the end but not untilpuberty.

The anatomy of a vertebraAll vertebrae with the exception of the 1 stand 2nd vertebrae of the cervical spinehave the same basic fundamental designand are composed of the followings t r u c t u r e s :

- a vertebral body (corpus vertebrae)- a vertebral arch (arcus vertebrae)- a spinous process (processus spinosus)- two transverse processes

(processus transversi and processuscostales in the lumbar vertebrae)

- four processes in the joints(processus articulares)

The spinous processes serve as attachmentpoints to the muscles and ligaments and inthe area of the thoracic vertebrae form the

joints with the rib cage. Vertebral bodiesand vertebral arches enclose the vertebralforamen. The totality of the vertebralforamina forms the spinal canal (canalisvertebralis) through which the spinal cordruns. Overa l l the ver tebrae become

progressively larger from cranial to caudalin order to bear the increasing stress fromthe weight of the body, while the vertebralforamina become progressively smallerbecause the spinal cord, which in on adultends at the level of the 1st and 2nd lumbarvertebrae becomes increasingly narrowerin a caudal direction.

Between the vertebral bodies are found theintervertebral discs (disci intervertebralis),which consist of a central jelly-like nucleus(nucleus pulposus) and an outer fibrousring (onulus fibrosus).

The spine itself possesses a complicatedligamentous apparatus with the spinalligaments interweaving to form a stableconnect ive network between the ver tebraeallowing exposure to a high level ofmechanical st ress. Here we di fferent iatebetween the ligaments of the vertebralb o d i e s

1. Ligamentum longitudinale anterius(anterior longitudinal ligament)

2. Ligamentum longitudinale posterius(posterior longitudinal ligament)

and also the ligaments of the vertebral arch

1. Ligamenta flava (flaval ligaments)2. Ligamenta interspinalia (interspinous

ligaments)

3. Ligamentum supraspinal (supraspinalligament)

4. Ligamentum nuchae (nuchal ligament)5. Ligamenta intertransversalia

(intertransverse ligaments)

Even more complicated is the structure ofthe ligamentous apparatus of the cervicalspine and the occipital joints.

Another of nature's wonders is the structureof the musculature in the trunk and back.The first volume of the textbook Lehrbuchder Anatomie by Benninghoff-Goerttler,perused by generations of medical students,features a very fine picture of the spine andback musculature. Here the spine iscompared to the mast of a square riggerwhere the spine represents the mast whichis embedded in the pelvis. The yard armsof the mast correspond to the transverseprocesses of the spine. Mast flexibility isensured because like the vertebrae itchannels into individual linked membersso that the mast acts like an elastic rod,bending to accommodate additionalstresses. We know from the spine that eventhe weight of the head, which is around4 kg, is enough to change its curvature. Sothe passive components on their own orenot enough to hold the spinal column firmlyin place, active elements are needed too inthe shape of the muscles.

These muscles brace the spine. They areshown on our model as cables. Wedifferentiate short cables, which go fromone yard arm to another and those whichgo from the yard end obliquely to the mast,known as the metameric muscles. Theseoblique cables also pass over some of themembers and represent the transversospinalsystem, which forms the main mass of themedial tract of the muscle.

We also see long cables, which approachthe yard arms laterally from the ship's deck05 it were (the pelvis). In this way thesegment of the lateral tract is visible whichhas attachment points on the spine. Theremaining part of the lateral tract extends

Page 3: When the back hurts - our supporting structure and its ... · When the back hurts - our supporting structure and its problems Dr. med. Willy Hammerschmidt, Rothenbach, Germany

to the ribs, which represent the even longerlevers of the spine. We hove to imagine allthe cables are tensioned (tonus) and thesystem is at rest. But if one cable isshortened (contraction), the system willmove. It can be easily seen from thediagram (shown in the oral presentation)that shortening a cable makes it necessaryto readjust all the other ones too in orderfor the mast to be brought into a newposition and maintain it. Many cables haveto be loosened and lengthened and othersretensioned, i.e. shortened. A single changeto a cable therefore affects the whole

system. A complicated action by the nervoussystem is a prerequisite for every movementand by means of a graduated series ofimpulses with each movement must regulatethe whole system. We hove a functionalsystem here in which a member cannot bemoved in isolation. Each change to amember means a new regulation of thew h o l e .

Le t us now look in more de ta i l a t themobility of the spine:The overall mobility of the spine derivesf r o m :

a Lateral flexion (lateral inclination)b Ventral flexion/dorsal flexion

(bending forwards and backwards)c Rotation (turning movement)

All of the movements of the thoracic andlumbar spines also consist of lateral flexion,ventral flexion/dorsal flexion and rotation.These movements are effected by themusculature of the back, thoracic wall andabdom ina l wa l l .

Here in fact would be the place to discussthe pelvis and hips. However, this would gobeyond the scope of this paper.

As will be evident from the complicatedstructure of the back, pathologicalconditions and problems can becomemanifest here in many different forms. Asa result, back pain and back problemsfrequently pose a major challenge for alltherapists. Back pain and spine pain

present a frequent clinical picture and arealso a frequent reason for treatment in thepractices of GPs, orthopaedists, alternativepractitioners and physiotherapists. Backpain can occur as either acute or chronicand is usually very difficult for patients todeal wi th.

It is particularly important for Bicomtherapists to prevent pain becoming chronicand to interrupt chronicity that has alreadystarted. Otherwise massive psychosocialeffects can threaten the patient as a resultof chronic pain, where family, profession,friends, hobby, sleep, holidays and manyother areas of personal life can be affected.This is an important point of intervention forBicom therapists because many patients trydifferent treatments before they come to usfor help and often only after a real voyageof discovery through all sorts of practices.

C a u s e s o f b a c k p a i n

Major causes of bock and spinal paini n c l u d e :

- Injuries such as sports injuries, accidentsand traumas, cervical spine distortions(whiplash injury to the cervical spine)and similar things

- Operations such as thyroid operationswhere there is a maximum reclinationangle of the cervical spine

- Damage to intervertebral discs and dische rn ia t i on

- Inflammation around the spine, thefosc ios and muscu la tu re

- Infect ions such as borrel iosis or even

zoster in fect ions- Congenital malformations and

de fo rm i t i es- Damage to bone, fasciae, musculature,

jaws and teeth either caused by apredisposition or hereditary factors

- Bone diseases e.g. osteoporosis- T u m o u r s

- Damage from excessive physical training- Being overweight, one of the major

scourges of the 20th century.- Overburdening the spine in general e.g.

from lifting heavy items or lifting

incorrectly, e.g. dragging heavy boxes(moving house, post)

- Pregnancy- Diseases of the pelvis and hips- Dental and jaw problems- Damage from inappropriate stress or

incorrect posture at the workplace.- Psychological and emotional stress- Depressive moods- Scar interference, e.g. around the

b l a d d e r m e r i d i a n- B l o c k s- In ter ference f rom harmfu l substances

(amalgam)- Disturbances around the place of sleep

(bed)

Based on this picture it can be seen thatback pain can have many different causeswhich require exact clarification. At thispoint the information that conventionalmedical findings e.g. from computedtomography or MRI (nuclear spin) are notnecessarily consistent with the patient'sintensity of pain is of importance. Weremember a young man in our practice withvery severe pain in his lumbar spine whohod a completely normal MRI; - no discherniation, no spinal canal stenoses, butbecause of severe muscular problems hecould hardly move. On the other hand wesee a lot of patients who hove considerablefindings from a CT or MRI but who orepain free and have no problems with theirbocks and generally do not require anytherapy.

It seems important to me here that we treatthe whole person and not just findings iniso la t ion .

H o w t o p r o c e e d w i t h p a t i e n t s w i t hb a c k p a i n

This is how we proceed in the cose ofpatients who present with bock or spinalpain:1. We have an in-depth initial discussion

with the patient2. We produce a detailed anamnesis (the

patient's previous history)

3. We conduct a thorough examination ofthe whole back, spine and the wholepatient

4. We conduct a bioenergetic examinationof the patient's back

2. We administer treatment usingbioresononce therapy (Bicom optima)

1st staae: In-depth initial discussionwith the patient

As a rule a detailed preliminary discussionis held after an appointment has been madein which we inform the patient about differenttherapy options and tell the patient aboutthe option of receiving bioresononcetherapy. Of course we make it clear to thepatient during the preliminary discussionthat bioresononce therapy is an IGel orself-paying service and we have the patientsign the necessary documents in thisregard.

2nd staae:Producina a detai led patient history

At the beginning of every diagnosis thereneeds to be a good and detailed patienthistory. This is of course always the caseirrespective of whether traditional medicalprocedures or alternative therapies areapplied. The more detailed and thoroughthe patient history the more successfultherapy will be.

A properly conducted patient historyincludes the following points:

1. The patient's name, date of birth andaddress: At the same time it is possibleto establish whether the patient lives ina city/town or the country or in an oldhouse with exposure to harmful waterpipes (lead) or in an older damp housewhere for example there may be aquestion of exposure to mould.

2. Profession and hobbies: This informationis also very important in order to knowwhether the patient uses weed killers,pesticides or herbicides in the gardenor for instance welds or solders electrical

parts when building model railways orwhether there is exposure to high levels

Page 5: When the back hurts - our supporting structure and its ... · When the back hurts - our supporting structure and its problems Dr. med. Willy Hammerschmidt, Rothenbach, Germany

of physical and mental stress and strainin the workplace.

3. Own personal history. The followingpoints ore important here;

3a How long hove the symptoms beenpresent?

3b Are symptoms persistent or intermittent?3c Are there seasonal d i fferences for

instance caused by the time of the yearor time of day?

3d Are there problems when coming intocontact with other life forms/animals?

3e Are there any bowel or stomacht roub les?

3f Do symptoms occur regularly at certaintimes of the day (Chinese organ clock)?

3g Do symptoms differ under stress or atthe weekends or on holiday, which mayindicate problems in managing stressor a disorder of the autonomic nervous

system?3h Before the symptoms occurred were

there any particular events or injuries,serious illness or a change in life styleor hab i ta t ion?

3i Are the symptoms worse particularly inthe mornings after waking up and dothey improve throughout the day? It ispossible from these questions to inferclues to a geopathic exposure.

4. It is also important to ask aboutmedication that the patient takes andhave the patient show you any and alsosometimes to carry out tests fori n t o l e r a n c e .

5 . Ch i l dhood i l l ness and vacc ina t i ons :This is on important point in the patienthistory because vaccinations irrespectiveof whether they are single or multiplevaccinations can cause stresses andlead to subsequent massive problemswith pain.

6. Operations: Important information isprovided in this way about possible scarinterference fields. Important too is alsothe question about dental operationsand surgical care of lacerations. Butsmall scars too con trigger pain duringendoscopies.

7. Allergies, intolerances and stresses. Wehave seen a huge increase in these

problems over recent years. Thereforeclarification is very important.

8. Family history: Producing a family historyis very important: This should includequestions about allergies, metabolicproblems such as gout and diabetes(polyneuropathy). Furthermore it isimportant to ask about cancer, rheumaticillnesses, heart and vascular diseases(erosion of the spinal column in thecose of aortic aneurysms) but also theknowledge of diseases of the nervoussystem such as depression, psychosesand MS.

9. Nutrition and digestion: Eating habitsare important including habit aboutintake of fluid, nicotine and alcoholconsumption. Important too is thequestion about digestive disorders.

10. Dental history: To gain informationabout pathological currents or stressesin the mouth it is important to enquirewhether there are different foreignmaterials such as gold, amalgam,palladium, etc. present here,furthermore plastic, ceramic or toothimplants. If this is the case a briefreading later of the currents or stress inthe mouth mokes everything clearer.The condition of the teeth and knowingwhether there ore dead or inflamedteeth present is important for me inestablishing whether possibly a focaltoxicosis may be present.

11. Emotional stress: You should alwaysenquire about emotional stress, worries,cores and problems, anxiety caused byunemployment, relationship problemsor worries about children. Theseproblems can put people under stressand wear them down so that severe

psychosomatic symptoms can occur veryoften with backache too. An ancientChinese proverb soys "Whoever turnshis bock to the wall will get backache".Indeed we cannot always solve thespiritual problems of our patients butwe can perhaps gain an insight intowhy therapeutic efforts for the patienthave hi therto been unsuccessful .

Page 6: When the back hurts - our supporting structure and its ... · When the back hurts - our supporting structure and its problems Dr. med. Willy Hammerschmidt, Rothenbach, Germany

12. Special patient history in the case ofbackache: Especially for patients withbackache and spinal pain we clarify thefollowing things in the framework of adiscussion about patient history:Is the pain acute or chronic?How long have the symptoms beenpresent?In which region of the spine or bock dothe symptoms occur and with whichmovements and at what t ime of the

day?Are there events which are related interms of time to the symptoms ofd i s c o m f o r t ?

Operations, injuries, pregnancies,denta l and maxi l lo fac ia l t reatmentHouse move or change of jobPsychological and emotional stressWhich therapies were carried out andin what establ ishments were these

therapies implemented?Which treatment techniques and whatinitial settings can temporarily relieveb a c k a c h e ?Patient history regarding place ofsleeping, such as sleep disorders,nightmares, night calf cramps, sweating,cramps. Possibly to be recommendedalso are further diagnostics by abuilding biology practitioner.

3rd staae: In-deoth examination of apainful back/painful spine and thewhole patientNext the patient's back and spine isexamined along all its segments for pain,muscle tension, lateral inclination, rotationand flexion and any pathological functionsestablished. It is necessary here that thepatient undresses so that it is also possibleto examine how the vertebrae interact witheach other during these movements.Measurement of the ventral flexion of thethoracic and lumbar spine according toSchober's and Ott's methods is important.For this measurement the spinous processfrom SI and a second point positionedaround 10 cm in a cranial direction ismeasured with the patient in an uprightposition.

After bending forward as far as possiblethe two marks made on the skin moveapart up to a distance of around 15 cm(10 + 5cm) (lumbar spine mobility).

To measure the degree of thoracic spinemobility, the distance when standing ismeasured from the spinous process of the7th cervical vertebra (vertebra prominens)30cm downwards and this point is marked.The increase in length with a maximumforward bend can be as much as 4cm(30 + 4cm). Alternatively the minimumfinger-floor distance (FBA) can beestablished with the knees in a stretchedposition.

When examining the back and spine thefollowing important points should beh e e d e d :

- Motility (mobility)- Sensibility (perception of feeling)- R e fl e x e s

Only in this way can the spine andextremities be evaluated. If there is

massively acute damage such as pareses(paralyses) then it is worth consideringinvolving a specialist (e.g. neurosurgeon).

After examining the back, an examinationof the whole patient takes place to detectscars and blocks. At the same time themouth should be remembered so thatdamaged teeth, dental foci among otherthings are not overlooked.

4th staae: Bioeneraetic examinations of thebock usina kinesioloav or tensors or theCTT test set Orthopaedics or Teeth

Before starting the examinations we needto establish a few important points on theunclothed patient. For instance point C7(the 7th cervical vertebra also called thevertebra prominens) which is clearly visible.Near the centre of the connecting line ofboth inferior shoulder blade angles can befound the 7th thoracic vertebra and at thelevel of both iliac crests, the cristae iliacae,is the 4th lumbar vertebra.

K I N E S I O L O G Y:A head electrode is connected via a cableto a cylindrical hand electrode which thepatient holds tight and held over theindividual spinous processes of the spine.All the vertebrae and areas from the backof the head (CO) are tested through to thecoccyx (os coccygis). A weak muscle testmeans a disturbance of energy in thecorresponding spinal segment.

TENSOR TEST:The Biotensor is connected via a cable withthe magnetic depth probe ("Hammer").Using the magnetic hammer the spine istested from the back of the head through tothe coccyx. Oscillation up and down of thetensor indicates a disturbance in energy inthe spinal region.

Bioeneraetic examination usina the CTTtest kits:To begin with, I will describe the procedureusing the CTT orthopaedic test kit. Firstlywe test using program 192 (A) the pink"General stabilisation of the spine"ampoule. If this ampoule tests positive, itcon be assumed the spine is blocked. Nextwe test the cervical spine from CI -C7 thenthe thoracic spine from Thl -Thl 2 and thelumbar spine L1-L5 using program 191 (Ai).To do this we use the ampoules with thegreen label and black lettering. If one ofthese ampoules tests positive it shows youhave to search in this segment of the spinefor a block. Then using program 191 (Ai)we retest region CI to the iliosocral joint /hip using the ampoules with the greenlabels and white lettering. Individualdisturbed vertebrae can be located usingthis test.

Alongside these ampoules other ampoulescan be tested from the extendedorthopaedic test set, also green ampouleswith white lettering. They will provideevidence as to whether the spinal segmentis blocked by a scar, whether inflammationis present or whether the effects of lumbaranaesthesia need to be treated.

The ampoules with yellow labels and blacklettering can be used to determine whethera block is more likely to be found in thejoints, the bones, muscles, or tendons andligaments of the tissue surrounding thespine. The yellow ampoules are tested againusing program 191 (Ai).

Program 192 (A) tests the pink stabilisationampoules - (muscles, ligaments, tendons,joints, bones and bone fractures).

Using program 192 (A) we can test theampoules with yellow labels and blacklettering and green ampoules with whitelettering for provocation and carry outt r e a t m e n t .

For tooth t reatment we recommendedthe followina approachesThe temporomandibular joints and teethmay of course also be tested by kinesiologyor with the tensor, as described above forthe spine.

Alternatively, the dental test kit may beused .

It is known there ore many relationshipsbetween the teeth and organs e.g. to thevertebrae, the segments of the spinal cordand the joints. When using the dental CTTtest kit it is best to use the Bicom optima fortesting; set up and start program 192 (A)(A = 10-fold amplification / 3 secondfrequency sweep). The patient is connectedto the output only. The yellow toothampoules ore placed in the input cup. Withthe help of the dental test kit all the teethcan be identified which need energeticsupport in some way or the other. In sodoing all the yellow ampoules for the rightside, the right upper jaw (1) and right lowerjaw (4) are tested at the patient's right-sidedpoint lymph 2.

All the yellow ampoules of the left side,left upper jaw (2) and left lower jaw (3)are tested at the patient's left-sided pointlymph 2.

The point lymph 2 according to Dr Vol!represents the point of measurement oflymph drainage for the upper and lowerjaw = point of measurement of the teeth.

Let me show vou how we work with theCTT test kit Teeth

All the ampoules in this test set ore testedwith on A program (192).

We test the yellow ampoules with the blocklettering with program 192 (A) initially. Herewe test the individual tooth sockets (4x8 =32 sockets). If on ampoule tests positive thismeans that the corresponding tooth needsenergetic stabilisation, nothing further asyet. This tested tooth is then placed in theinput cup.

We then test the pink ampoules with theblock lettering using program 192 (stressampoules with pathological information).The ampoules that tested positive ore alsoplaced in the input cup.

Then we test the blue ampoules with thewhite lettering using program 192 (A) andobtain here bioenergetic information as towhether we ore dealing with an acute orchronic process. Furthermore we test theampoule "tooth attenuation" (yellowampoule with block lettering) usingprogram 192. This tells us whether a toothsocket needs to be attenuated, possibly asa result of a hyperergic reaction.

Finally using program 191 (Ai) we can testthe yellow tooth ampoules for provocationand carry out treatment. On Ai we can testand treat the individual tooth sockets if adental stress has been brought from deepdown to the surface and the organism

The following programs have proved beneficio2 1 1 . 22 3 0 . 62 3 1 . 53 4 0 . 53 4 1 . 33 8 1 . 2

needs a stimulus for final energeticconso l i da t i on .

At this point may I once again refer to therelationship of the teeth to the organs andin our case specifically to the joints, thesegments of the spinal cord and thevertebrae. These relationships ore set out ino u r m a n u a l .

5th stage: Treatment based onbioresononce therapy and theBicom op t ima

Bioresonance therapy offers the followingoptions:1. Simple therapy with tried and tested

therapy programs2. Additional therapy via the 2nd channel

of the Bicom optima3. Application of program series according

to the Manual.4. Therapy with the CTT test kits

Orthopaedics and Teeth5. Application of the double roller electrode

1st option:Therapy with known therapy programs

Simple therapy with known therapyprograms is particularly suitable for thosepractices where therapy sometimes has tobe delegated and where it is impossible tocore for the patient constantly over a periodo f 3 0 - 6 0 m i n u t e s .

We place the patient on the modulation mot(building up DMI). The input is a flexibleelectrode in the patient's area of pain. Weuse saliva, urine or possibly a drop of bloodin the input cup. In addition at the end oftherapy we provide each patient with aBicom chip with the frequency patternsfrom the therapy session saved on to it.

Using kinesiology we test which programs organs and bones, polyarthritis, soft tissueare suitable for the patient's needs and then rheumatism, acute injuries or strains. Wetreat as prioritised by kinesiological testing. hove these programs run alongside normal

therapy programs.2nd option: Additional therapy via the2nd chonnel of the Bicom optima Furthermore STABILISATION Is possibleThe Bicom optima gives us excellent options USING THE HONEYCOMB, here we canfor giving the patient more therapies and app'y among other things the CTTfor stabilisation using input SUBSTANCE ampoules wood, spine, musculature,COMPLEXES, for example arthritis, "Stabilise spine for general". At the sameosteoarthritis, degeneration of the discs, time we con run the ampoules bone,fracture, bone healing, scars on skin, tendon, ligaments.

Another option consists of administeringthe WALA spinal ampoules using thehoneycomb, e.g. longitudinal, anterior andposterior ligaments, the intervertebral discsand the dura mater of the brain.

Furthermore known preparations from thecompany Heel (e.g. Zeel, Traumeel) andDevil's Claw and Arnica preparations conbe applied to the patient using thehoneycomb and appropriate preciousstones may be used such as rock crystal ortiger's eye.

4th option: Therapy with the CTT test kitsOr thopaed i cs and Tee th

Therapy with the CTT test kit Orthopaedicstakes the following form:- Conduction of basic therapy with the

area of pain at the input (black cable).The output is the modulation mat, theinput cup is filled with a bodily fluid suchas blood, urine or saliva.An indication-related follow-up programtakes place with the patient connected tothe input and output.

With the following programs the patient isno longer connected to the input and wetest amplification and time.

Therapy with program 191 (Ai). We treatthe patient with tested green ampouleswith white lettering and possibly alsowith a yellow ampoule with blacklettering.Therapy with program 191 (Ai). We treatwith a suitable yellow ampoule with blacklettering.Then treatment with program 192 (A).The patient is treated with pinkelimination ampoules with blacklettering and green ampoules with pinklettering.Treatment with program 192 (A). Thepatient is stabilised with 5 elementampoules, e.g. element or meridianre la ted .

- Then treatment with program 192 (A).Where necessary therapy with theattenuation ampoules from the5 element test kit.

Treatment with the CTT test kit Teethis carried out as follows:

- Basic therapy with a basic program,pain region at the input, output themodulation mat. The input cup is filledwith bodily fluids (e.g. saliva, urine,blood).

- Indication-related follow-up programswith the patient connected to the inputand output.

With the following programs the patient isno longer connected to the input and wetest amplification and time.

- Therapy with program 192 (A). Thepatient is treated with the appropriatedental ampoule (yellow ampoule withblack lettering) in the input cup. Outputis the large modulation mat and thegold finger on a red cable on thecorresponding region of the tooth root.

- Therapy with program 192 (A). Thepatient is treated with pink eliminationampoules with black lettering in theinput cup.

- Treatment with program 192 (A).Stabil isation is carried out with5 element ampoules, element ormeridian related, in the input cup.

- Where necessary treatment with program192 (A). If need be the attenuationampoule "tooth attenuation" is placed inthe input cup

5th option:Application of the double-roller electrodeThe patient lies face down on the largemodulation mat, (building up DMI).Endogenous fluids are placed in the inputcup. The double-roller electrode is

connected to a long red and a long blackcable. Then the therapist rolls the deepback musculature along the entire spinefrom the sacroiliac joint to the occiput. Atthe same time the double roller is turnedtime and again so that each area is in theinput and then the output. Unilateral doubleroller action is also an option from the backof the head to the sacroiliac joint and backagain. Usually the patient will experiencehyperaemia, increased blood supply, whichwill be recognisable by reddening of theskin. Useful programs apart from basictherapy are for example programs 915spinal block release or 581 spinal block.Suitable programs as described above canbe found under the heading "Suitabletherapy programs".

In the last few years we have treated manypatients with backache successfully and cangive most patients a good deal of help withthe methods ment ioned above. Since wehave changed our equipment pool to threeBicom optima, it is of course even easierfor us to treat patients. Among other things,the programs in the 2nd channel and alsothe low deep frequency programs havebrought us the most progress in terms ofour treatment so that for our backache

patients the Bioresonance method is nowthe method of choice, and these patients inparticular with this problem become painfree relatively quickly and can avoid theside effects of medication. Of course it isalso important to note that obstacles totherapy and therapy blocks such as stressfrom amalgam, environmental damage,stresses from electrosmog etc. have to betreated early on in therapy process in orderto achieve good results.

I hope I have been able to provide someinsight into treating back pain and wouldlike to thank you for your patience andi n t e r e s t .
