About > Paracelsus Biological Medicine > Diagnostics

Paracelsus Biological Medicine employs the use of non-toxic diagnostic aids that view not only structural imbalances, but also functional, regulatory, energetic and psycho-emotional conditions. The advanced diagnostic tests used include darkfield microscopy, biological terrain assessment, electro-acupuncture (after Voll), thermography, dental panoramic x-rays, heavy metal evaluation, heart rate variability testing, hair mineral analysis, and many others. These methods give a picture of the patient’s health situation that is simultaneously broader and more specific than its allopathic counterpart: patients are evaluated for constitutional type and for the exact quality of their internal milieu. Constitutional typing is a hallmark of many types of traditional medicine; it allows the practitioner to predict what kind of ailments might affect the patient and apply preventative measures. An evaluation of the internal milieu is essential to understand the environment that created the disease. For example: cells are surrounded by a sort of soup known as interstitial fluid. High acidity of interstitial fluid has been linked to certain types of cancer. When we know the pH of interstitial fluid, we can influence its acidity via diet and other factors to prevent or heal disease.
