Introduction
Hello, my name is Andrew Craft, and I am a Non‐Medical practitioner working in Kempsey, Australia. Thank you to Regumed for inviting me to present at this year’s international congress, and thank you for taking the time to listen to my presentation today.

According to WHO statistics approximately 1 in 4 people will suffer from a mental health condition at some point in their life.

With mental health becoming such a significant part of clinical work I’m sure many of you have also asked yourselves how can we, as BICOM® method practitioners, offer help and support to clients who are facing these challenges?

This can be quite a complicated task. Particularly while also being careful not to overstep the bounds of our therapy. What I would like to share with you all today is the technique I use in my clinic. I’ve found this technique to be an effective way of supporting clients who are dealing with psychological h...

Acupuncture pathways, or meridians, are the connections of acupuncture points in the body. They originate in Chinese medicine. Despite their existence, they have not been recognised by conventional medicine. Although it is evident that these energy pathways work, science has not gone so far as to prove it.
These biologically active points exhibit different properties than the rest of the surface of the skin, which is why they can be proven by electro‐detection devices as well as through thermovision (see figure).

The basis of Chinese medicine is called the pentagram. You can read a lot in it (see figure 2).

Mother/son rule
The son is the element that follows clockwise after his mother. The mother always supports her son (tonifying). This means if any element shows imbalance, you also have to look at the mother to check if she is all right. If not, then the mother also needs to be treated. The reverse directio...

Introduction:

We are surrounded by aluminium and the increasing number of experts believe that too much of it enters and stays in our bodies. The consequences are by no means harmless.

The fact is that we ingest it in excessive amounts, most often unknowingly, partly through food, partly through the skin or by inhaling it. The health hazard was confirmed by the report submitted by EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) to the European Commission.

The book "When Aluminium poisons us", by Virginie Belle, talks about the problem of excessive intake of aluminium. This book caused the commotion a few years ago in France, but also in other EU countries. It is a book that deals with the toxicity and harmfulness of Aluminium, a most abundant metal on our planet.

Where can you find aluminium?

While fifty years ago we ingested minimal amounts of aluminium from vegetables and maybe some f...

Infection is the state when germs like bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites invade and grow by multiplying in the body.

Infections by prions (e.g. Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease), which are a type of protein that can trigger normal proteins in the brain to fold abnormally, will not be discussed here.

An infection can begin anywhere in the body and may spread through it. Disease can develop when the cells in the body get damaged as a result of the infection, leading to the appearance of symptoms of an illness.

It’s also possible to have an asymptomatic infection. Some examples of infections that don’t always cause symptoms include HPV, gonorrhea, and Chlamydia.
Types of infection acc. to their duration
Acute infections are the ones that, after their onset, they progress quite rapidly and are over after days or within 4 weeks.

Subacute infections last between 1 to 3 months.
Chronic infections can last for week...

Influences from many approaches to treatment were taken into account in the development of these two test sets, so that not only pure BICOM® therapeutics can be found here. This was particularly important to us during the development, especially in view of the new foundation of the AKI (Akademie für Komplementär‐ und Informationsmedizin – Academy for Complementary and Informational Medicine).
The following influences were integrated into the development of the test sets:

Chinese energetics
Psychological kinesiology
Systemic treatment approaches
Bach flower therapy
Gemstone therapy
Homeopathy
Chakra therapy, amongst others

This was necessary in order to achieve the most holistic approach possible and to be able to really diagnose and treat the causes.
It is certainly undisputed that emotions have a strong influence on our organism.
We see patients who have fabulous lab results, no imaging abnormalities, and yet report feeling ill. They complai...
