WHAT IS NEURALTHERAPY ACCORDING TO HUNEKE?

The Neuraltherapy or Neural Therapy is an original and innovative method of Welfare Medicine, of excellent therapeutic effectiveness, that serves to drive processes of treatment, healing or relief, in those people who are or feel ill; even those that are resistant to other medical treatments and/or alternative non-medical therapies.
IS NEURALTHERAPY A THERAPY ONE FOR PAIN?

Although it is certain that Neuraltherapy has acquired its better fame in the treatment of patients with pain, is good to clarify, that this one is a medicine that shows all its power in the integral treatment of patie nts, which are singular, unique and unrepeatable.


WHAT IS the Neuraltherapy or Neural Therapy
FROM ITS ETYMOLOGICAL MEANING?

Neuraltherapy from its etymological concept, means to therapeutically take part in a patient’s condition with our conception and methodology, through specific bodily zones, where we suspect that it can have centers or portions of his/her Nervous System that are in an irritated state. These irritations can be kept or stored like memories since we were born.

WHAT IMPLICATIONS DO THESE AREAS
OR NEURO–IRRITATING FOCUSES HAVE?

In Neuraltherapy or Neural Therapy we sustain our welfare doctor actions in a theoretical conception guaranteed by solid animal experimental investigations and medical daily practice with human beings. From this experience it arises that these zones or centers with memories in a neuro-irritated state, may at some singular time have been accumulated or, at several incidents since we were born.

These neuro-irritating or neuro dystrophic centers, that we will be able to call Segmental or Extra Segmental (or Interferential Fields), have or can have the potential, that under certain circumstances or predispositions, inherent to each organism, favor the facilitating conditions so that these neuro-irritating centers acquire pathogenic capacity (that is to say, to cause the emergency events that we understand like pathological or disease processes). These memories are organized systemically and they are expressed clinically through a symptom, of a syndrome or a disease, to which our medical clinic Academy, already has set a full name for.

IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WITH ONE MEDICINE ONLY, INTEGRAL MEDICINE COULD BE PERFORMED, WITH THE CAPACITY TO CURE, TO HEAL OR TO ALLEVIATE A GREAT PART OF THE PATHOLOGICAL PROCESSES?

The extraordinary and surprising particularity that Neuraltherapy has according to Huneke, is that in order to drive the therapeutic changes it always uses only 1 (one) medicine. This means that our medication, `neuralterapeuticum', which is a local very diluted anesthetic, could be considered a medicine or a non specific medicinal drug.

WHAT LOCAL ANESTHETIC IS USED
IN NEURALTHERAPY ACCORDING TO HUNEKE?

In our neural therapeutic technical procedures we use - only - one needle mounted in a syringe that is loaded with the local anesthetic (LA) in very low concentrations. The local anesthetic that has always been used by neural therapists worldwide is Procaine or Novocain Hydrochloride, in a concentration of less than 1%. If necessary, also Lidocaine or Xilocaine can be used, but in much lower concentrations still. These LA when being very diluted, change their normal pharmacological action and stop being a dielectric; meaning that they diminish its capacity to anaesthetize or to block the conduction of the neuronal impulses that transport the information of sensitivity towards the encephalon.

DOES NEURALTHERAPY MAKE ANESTHETIC BLOCKAGES?

It must be very clear that the Neural therapists are not interested to anaesthetize anything, or to block anything, that field is for the specialists in Anesthesia or Anesthesiologists.The Neural therapists are intent in making Good Medicine; we set out to realize a welfare medicine of excellence, of high efficacy and low side effects.

Thus to obtain our therapeutic intentions we only used injections with the anesthetic premises in very low concentrations. This allows us to introduce subtle (smooth, weak and appropriate) stimuli in specific body areas; areas with neuro-irritating memories with pathogenic potentiality.Therefore our smooth, subtle, weak and suitably, placed injections with procaine in concentrations of 0.3 % to 1%, produce stimuli in the indicated place at the opportune moment.
In this manner, with our stimuli, we try to jumpstart and generate in the sick person’s organism, re-organizing neural impulses that have the potential capacity to facilitate the emergency of auto-echo-organizational processes in the sense of the treatment, the healing or the relief.In summary: in Neuraltherapy we use injected local anesthetics, that when used in low concentrations, in nervous areas with memories in a state of pathogenic or ailing irritation, acquire other pharmacological properties, which are not exactly those of a dielectric - blocking of impulses or processes.
In addition, who can affirm responsibly that with the local anesthetic in the low concentrations that we use, they block or paralyze the functions of the Vegetative Nervous System?; rather what happens is quite the opposite.

Neuraltherapy DOES IT BLOCK OR STIMULATE?

We repeat, the Neural therapists use a local anesthetic but we are not anesthetists, nor do we set out to anaesthetize anything.
With Neuraltherapy, we are not looking to block or anaesthetize anything and, although sometimes we speak of blockages with the anesthetic premises, (by error, simplification or to try to be included/understood by our interlocutor) our true intention is to produce weak, suitable or subtle stimuli with the potential capacity to facilitate the start and the emergency of systemic neuro modulators neural impulses; which involve not only all the neural network, but the totality of the ill organism, and through natural auto-echo-organizational processes to have access to the treatment, the healing or the relief.

SO FAR THE CLARIFICATION OF WHAT IS NEUROMODULATION AND WHAT IS AUTO-ECHO-ORGANIZATION IS STILL PENDING

The Neuromodulation

In our conception, the neuromodulation can be understood as the self-regulated capacity of the Nervous System which normally and through the ontogenetic development is incorporated in our bodies from birth.
This neuromodulating capacity is the one that we try to stimulate with our neuralterapeuticum (which is a much diluted LA), amplifying or attenuating the expression of the neural activity, according to the two following situations, if its predominant vital tone is nearer to the functional pole of the low and depression or, if what predominates is the excitation and excess.
This means that if there are hypotonic processes, you facilitate the hypertonic processes and vice versa. We must consider that this neuromodulating capacity can be conditioned by deficiencies of possibilities and the availabilities of the ill organism, in its search to find new and better order, than allows it to enter or to return towards the processes of treatment, healing or relief.

The Self-Eco-Organization (SEO)

To our way of thinking, or rather, in our theoretical conception of Neuraltherapy, we understand self-echo-organization (SEO) like an idea force that we have taken from one of our principles that sustains the thought of complexity.
With the SEO notion we are trying to indicate, that all Human beings in order to protect their form, that is to say, in order to preserve his/her Being, they must SELF-REPRODUCE AND SELF-ORGANIZE.But, to self reproduce and to self organize themselves, the Living Beings, understood very schematically, like Open Thermodynamic Systems, MUST INTERCHANGE, in other words, GIVE AND TAKE • Energy, • Matter • Information and • Organization with its Surroundings, its Ecosystem.
The Ecosystem is the scope where the circle of Life is generated, emerges, and develops. It is the atmosphere where the interactive interrelations are generated that allows the existence of the singular biological cycles that are part of Nature.This concept of self-echo-organization also is suggesting to us that all LIVING BEINGS (we repeat, understood as an Open Thermodynamically System) can only obtain its Autonomy, its self-management, within a strict interchange and attachment with its Dependency.
Dependency from whom? From the environment or atmosphere (Earthly-Cosmic) where it originates and without which it would not exist.
We call this paradox or conceptual antagonism a Dialogical relation, and it’s also, another category that gives form to the complexity of the thought. Therefore, Dialogical is that one relation where two processes, action or phenomena, that prima-facie perceive them like opposite or antagonistic, but are in fact - necessarily complementary.
Examples of it are, the relations: Sympathetic/Para-Sympathetic - To take/To give - Apoptosis/Cellular Regeneration - Ying/Yang -Order/Disorder/New Order SEO.

WHEN IN DOUBT, SEE TO BELIEVE

We know that it can be especially difficult, for some medical colleagues, odontologists or veterinarians, to understand how in Neuraltherapy just by the use of medicine and a syringe with needle, we can treat singular patients, with any type of pathologies and to obtain excellent therapeutic results.
This would be easier to understand if we acknowledged the possibility of thinking that something similar happens in other disciplines. For example: in Surgery the same unspecific elements also are always used, bistouries-needle-thread, to produce therapeutic facts, often heroic. Another example can be found at the heart of the history of medicine, in the legendary and effective practice of Acupuncture that also uses the same unspecific element, the needles.

CAN IT BE THAT A SAME THERAPEUTIC ELEMENT IS USED ALMOST FOR EVERYTHING?

Then, what makes the difference, what explains that these different forms to execute medicine, always with the same unspecific elements, continue being successful? Without a doubt, the reason is that the added value is given by the singularity of its concepts, conceptions and theoretical-practical methodologies.
Specially, what make these different forms to execute welfare medicine with minimum unspecific elements to excel are the Theoretical, Epistemological, Medical, Social and Cultural conceptions by which they are sustained. Those are the conceptions that train us professionally, the ones that confirm to us socially and that soon guide us about what we must do at every moment and in each place, how to move our hands accurately, to help therapeutically the patient who asks us for help.

Later the natural differentiation between professionals within a same discipline will come, and that will be as the result of the “know how”, “the savoir-faire” and that depends in the immanent and own qualities of each professional, as they are his talent, his art, his creativity and his boldness.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ETHICAL, CULTURAL, SOCIAL AND MEDICAL VALUES AS TRAINERS ON PARADIGMS

In that context, it is not exaggerated to say that as much as from the edge of the bistouries of the surgeons, like from the end of the needles of acupuncturists and neural therapists, there is a flow and an emergence that expresses in magnificent synthesis: our minds, our brains, our emotions, our ideas, our experiences, our knowledge, our professional formation, our myths, our cultures, our energies, our metaphors, our intimate artistic qualities, our virtues, our meanness, our fears, our interests, our prejudices, our moral values, our diseases, our spiritualities, our beliefs, our intentions and our ways to understand life in the Universe.
All this, and much more, is what flows along with the Procaine we injected and when we relate to the patient.
Therefore we must always calm our patients (and also some colleagues) so they do not become distressed, explaining that the injected medicine is not the most important thing. Of Course one must be alert to the fact that there are some “needle-happy” therapists who do not support the anesthetic premises and therefore discredit Neural Therapy.
But this problem is one which is also common among good acupuncturists and surgeons.We repeat then that the important thing about Neural Therapy is the theoretical-practice conception of this method.
In these first stages of development of NT in our scope, it is important to know how and where each therapist has been trained professionally, what is his/her experience in the matter, the recognition that by their activity, they have in their professional circle and, by all means, one must also consider all the other information indicated in previous paragraphs.

TREATMENT, HEALING, RELIEF – THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE BODY AND ITS NERVOUS SYSTEM (Central, Peripheral and Neuro-vegetative) WITH SOCIETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT

These neuro-modulating impulses acting in neural zones in an irritation state (morbid or failing excitation) offer to the ailing body bigger and better possibilities and probabilities, in order to make evident Self-Echo-Organizational events in the sense of the healing, the treatment, the relief and the psycho-emotional well-being.
The healing, understood as a cure, is applied to the spiritual and social rehabilitation of the patient in his incapacity.
The treatment is more related to the reconstruction of the physical body. Incapacity or disability is a category that is built socially, that is influenced by the economy, politics, prejudices, culture, etc., therefore the healing is the overcoming of the social, spiritual and emotional barriers that allow the reconstructing of conditions to live well, with joy and happiness.
The healing is more related to the renewal and inclusion of the person to the surroundings of family, work and the community. To heal the past is the purification of the contents in each sphere of consciousness.

Prof. Ricardo Finochietto repeated with force:
“The therapy of the sympathetic syndromes is an exciting subject because of the intricacy of its philosophy, the clinical questions and the spiritual condition of the patients.”And he continued saying:
“The blockades of the sympathetic system have been applied widely by Prof. Alfonso Albanese, his collaborators and imitators in all the diseases or syndromes where this therapy is universally accepted, obtaining the same results as in other situations.
They have also been applied and continue to be applied in diseases or syndromes where the success usually is aloof, and still in others, like ocena, where they are used only by the avant-garde ones.”
“This is not one of Albanese’s smaller merits to have taught, to have insisted and to have obtained the understanding that the blocking is not a mere anesthesia - as the detractors of the method try to say, and that the application must be anatomically precise, repeated, and, in the abdomen, almost always bilaterally.”

WHAT HAS BEEN THE THEORETICAL-PRACTICAL CONTRIBUTION OF NEURALTHERAPY TO WELFARE MEDICINE?

If I had to synthesize the basic characteristics of this forceful way to execute the welfare medicine called Neuraltherapy, I would have to say that it is the concentrated expression of the good art and the good practice of Medicine.
Also we must repeat, that it is the application of delicate and precise neural therapeutic technical procedures, guided and maintained by a solid and innovating conceptual basis, that overflows and revolutionizes the present criteria of how we become ill, and simultaneously, how we can drive processes of healing, treatment or relief in each singular and concrete patient.
The Neuraltherapy can be proud of being a Medicine for Patients and not being for Diseases. The desideratum (the object and aim of an intense desire) of a neural therapist that wishes to execute this excellent medicine correctly is in leaving aside and avoiding his thoughts to be influenced by the system of diagnoses and treatments in which we have been formed. Here is the fundamental difference of our therapeutic methodology. This it is the added value that Neuraltherapy has, and that differentiates it from the rest.

However, pay attention, because this does not mean that we must ignore or not know with elementary rigor the more serious or urgent clinical aspects of medicine. At this moment of transition where we have been called to live, this conduct implies a double load for Neural therapists:
A) because we must know the clinical and surgical side of medicine, being alert to know when to derive someone on time to whomever it corresponds and,
B) caught and without a way out of the system of diagnoses, etiologies, vademécums (allopathic drugs) and therapeutic protocols, guided by the evidence, the statistics and the economic interest of all the enterprise machinery that takes care of disease - which also handles all the actions in the scope of the scientific production and whose priority, is ever so clear, to obtain financial gain, and not healthcare.

WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP THOSE COLLEAGUES WHO WISH TO SOLVE NATURAL LACKS OF UNDERSTANDING THAT CAN BE RAISED BY NEURALTHERAPY, BETWEEN HIS SPEECH, HIS PRACTICES AND HIS EFFECTIVENESS IN THE RESULTS?

Obviously this rationalization cannot be understood in its conceptual-practical theory by some of our colleagues Doctors or Deontologists. But this difficulty yields easily, since in welfare medicine, practice is the best criteria to explain the veracity of what it says.

In this sense, any doctor or deontologist who wishes to actually corroborate the theoretical criterion that is exposed here only needs to communicate with me or Dr. Horacio Gallitelli, to solicit a visit to the doctor's office at the Hospital Unit of Neuraltherapy for the Integral Treatment of the Patient with Pain or to the Deontological Doctor's office.

The only requirement is that the doctor must attend during 1 month, 2 times per week, to see the evolution that patients treated with NT are having, whether it be those who are already in treatment or new ones that are entering.
Moreover, the professionals who wish to have this experience, which is absolutely gratuitous, can also bring their own patients, especially those with whom they do not obtain good therapeutic results.
The minimum that is asked for those who wish to take advantage of this offer is to have previously read and carefully studied some bibliography and some foundations of this discipline, and for this purpose it will be offered to them, the possibility to photocopy some bibliography.

THIS IS A MEDICINE OF PATIENTS AND NOT OF DISEASES

Therefore, this that seems so simple and which many colleagues repeat without it having repercussion in the actual practice, “not to treat diseases but to treat concrete and singular patients”, turns out to be the Gordian Knot differentiator of this revolutionary and innovator way to think and to execute welfare medicine.
Therefore when we see or hear of a doctor or deontologist, who advertises, dictates little courses and says that with Neural Therapy he cures or treats this or that disease, we know that he is not a neural therapist.
The hobby, the obsession that keeps awake a good neural therapist is given by the desire of the professional to forge an optimal interactive relationship with his Patient, that will allow him from a solid theoretical-practical knowledge to look for or to elaborate a diagnosis founded on a suspicion (a knowing/feeling) and then to execute some of the neural therapeutics technical procedures trying to facilitate the elimination or the reordering of pathogenic neuro-irritations, that have had the capacity to make ill that singular and concrete organism.
In this theoretical-practical conceptual scene, the central idea of the Neuraltherapy according to Huneke (NTH) is to be related suitably to the patient that consults us and requires our aid, and simultaneously, to investigate and to search in this organism bodily areas with memories in a state of pathogenic irritation.
It must be taken into account that these irritated body areas can be generated and accumulated at any time (in a latent way) during the life of the patient, and by any type of stimuli (injury or psycho-physical-emotional or social trauma), without concerning the magnitude, nor the gravity that our rationality assigns to these stimuli.
Each singular and concrete organism, can process any stimulus (even a minimal one) like a neuro-irritation that will be registered as an Anagram or Memory in some portion of the Nervous System.
Why a stimulus that our understanding judges as anodyne, can at some time get to acquire the capacity of an ailing or pathogenic neuro-irritation, we still do not have the capacity to access that knowledge and explanation, with minimum rigor.
