  • The Touch of Peat – Inherent Healing Power of Nature
    PEAT BALNEOLOGY Keynote Address The touch of peat – inherent healing power of nature Gerd W. Lüttig Former Chairman of Commission VI of the IPS Wittinger Str. 126, D-29223 Celle There is no doubt that the philosophical substantiation of naturopathy (‘natural medicine’) is based on the premise that nature is given an inherent healing power by which it is enabled to start a healing process in every sick individual if stimulated. Therefore, we are able to say that the difference between naturopathy and allopathy 1 is demonstrated by comparing the behaviour of a naturopathic doctor to that of an allopathic one. The naturopath only needs to trigger a mechanism that is found in the natural power itself in a way; one can say that a naturopath uses a homespun pattern for healing processes. In contrast, the allopath has first to look for these forces of healing, in order to mobilise them as the base of a pattern still to be knitted. Of course, this is only one of the ways to explain this difference. Moreover it must be stated that naturopathy always follows the principle of holism (‘Ganzheitslehre’), whereas allopathy – which is characteristically subdivided into many sub-disciplines – uses a kind of collection of tools in which the complicated aids to be used may be applied one after the other or side by side, according to their effectiveness with respect to the physical and chemical processes to be put into appropriate healing action. On the other hand it is obvious that naturopathy – hydrotherapy, based on the recommendations of especially its most prominent sub-discipline peat therapy – Asklepiades of Prusa (124–60 BC), Caelius Aurelianus (end as a holistic discipline uses to a high degree, two allies.

America experienced a genuinely vast development of biomedical science in the early decades of the twentieth century, which in turn impacted the community of academic psychiatry and changed the way in which clinical and basic research approaches in psychiatry were conceptualized. This development was largely based on the restructuring of research universities in both of the USA and Canada following the influential report of Johns Hopkins-trained science administrator and politician Abraham Flexner (1866–1959). Flexner’s report written in commission for the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching in Washington, DC, also had a major influence on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in psychiatry throughout the 20th century. This paper explores the lasting impact of Flexner’s research published on modern medicine and particularly on what he interpreted as the various forms of health care and psychiatric treatment that appeared to compete with the paradigm of biomedicine.

The most violent letters came from Reichians, furious because the book considered orgonomy alongside such (to them) outlandish cults as dianetics. Dianeticians, of course, felt the same about orgonomy. I heard from homeopaths who were insulted to find themselves in company with such frauds as osteopathy and chiropractic, and one chiropractor in Kentucky "pitied" me because I had turned my spine on God's greatest gift to suffering humanity. Several admirers of Dr. Bates favored me with letters so badly typed that I suspect the writers were in urgent need of strong spectacles. Oddly enough, most of these correspondents objected to one chapter only, thinking all the others excellent.

    Niklaus Ingold «Lichtduschen» war die Bezeichnung für kurze Bestrahlungen des Körpers mit Ultraviolettlicht. In den Strahlenabteilungen deutscher Lichtduschen Krankenhäuser entwickelt, vermarktete die Elektroindustrie das Geschichte einer Lichtduschen ab den 1920er Jahren als gesundheitsförderliches Gesundheitstechnik, Handeln, das Männern, Frauen und Kindern zu einem erfolgreichen Leben in der modernen Welt verhelfe. Regelmässige Selbstbe- Niklaus Ingold 1890–1975 strahlungen mit Heimsonnen sollten den Körper stärken und die interferenzen 22 Arbeits- und Leistungsfähigkeit steigern. Anders als die 1975 interferenzen 22 eingeführten elektrischen Solarien waren die älteren Ultraviolett- lampen also nicht nur zur Verschönerung des Teints gedacht. Anhand des Lichtduschens erzählt Niklaus Ingold die Geschichte der Verwissenschaftlichung und Kommerzialisierung der Lichtaus- setzung des Körpers. Die Untersuchung folgt einem technowissen- schaftlichen Projekt, das im 19. Jahrhundert mit der Verwendung elektrischer Lampen als Sonnenmodelle in lichtbiologischen Experi- menten und medizinischen Behandlungsversuchen begann. Neues Wissen und neue Praktiken zirkulierten nun zwischen industriellen Ballungsräumen und alpinen Heillandschaften. In der Forschungs- literatur, in lebensreformerischen Gesundheitsratgebern und in den Massenblättern westlicher Gesellschaften nahm eine spezi- fische Vorstellung gesunden Lichts Gestalt an.

Das war in einer Zeit, als man sich gegen die sozialen und gesundheitlichen Auswirkungen der Industrialisierung zu wehren begann. Gegen Alkoholismus, würdelose Wohnverhältnisse, die entstehende Apparate-Medizin und die Denaturierung natürlicher Lebensmittel. Es entstand eine Vielzahl einzelner Gruppierungen, die man heute als Lebensreform-Bewegung zusammenfaßt. Da war die Naturheilbewegung, welche auf die Kräfte der Naturheilmittel und -verfahren vertraute. Pfarrer Kneipp, Hufeland, Prießnitz, Felke sind heute noch bekannte Namen.

A synchronoptic display is intended to illustrate the extent to which events in world history have influenced the development of Methodology: The upper part of the exhibit shows the central historical events. The lower part shows the history of naturopathy and the middle part the history of phytotherapy. Results: The synchronoptic representation made it possible to identify two periods, “historical gaps”, in which the development of phytotherapy stagnated due to world history: 1st gap: 14th century, 2nd gap: c. 1640 - c. 1800. Discussion: The reasons for the 1st gap were the process of deserted Medieval villages and the plague epidemic and for the 2nd gap, the Little Ice Age, the Thirty Years’ War and a lack of convincing theory about medical healing. Summary: Medicinal plants are among the oldest remedies and were used according to the principle of “trial and error”. What proved successful was passed on, and otherwise, discarded.
