Autologous blood therapy

Mode of action of autohaemotherapy

The use of autohaemotherapy has existed since the 1930s. The primary idea was that natural healing processes are essential in the case of illness and that these can be strengthened through targeted stimulation therapy. This idea led to the development of autohaemotherapy in various forms for different diseases. Another principle is that weak stimuli can stimulate the self-healing processes, medium-strength stimuli can inhibit them and very strong stimuli can even neutralise them.

Repeated studies, which have been published several times, have proven the effect of this therapy on the autonomic nervous system and the immune system. The administration of autologous blood activates a cascade of responses. In particular, it causes an overall vegetative switchover. As the blood is a redistribution centre for nutrients, transport proteins, enzymes, excretory products, toxins and antibodies, among other things, it is highly effective. However, if blood reaches the tissue in its entirety (i.e. outside the blood vessels), it itself becomes a pathogenic stimulus, so that defence measures in the form of inflammation occur in the tissue. The antigens, toxins and other proteins and polypeptides contained in the blood cause immune stimulation and metabolic activity in the corresponding tissue. The surrounding tissue altered at the injection site thus forms a stimulus in the entire organism.

The following general reactions can occur after autologous blood therapy

Autologous blood therapy is an excellent method of improving the body’s own immune system in a short period of time. Before carrying out autologous blood therapy, it is advisable to check your immune status. A specialised laboratory uses laboratory chemistry tests to check the inflammation and immune parameters with a precise breakdown of hyper- and hypofunction as well as deficiencies of certain nutrients and micronutrients.

Autologous blood therapy is carried out as a stimulation therapy, whereby venous blood taken from the patient is injected back into the muscles or under the skin, either directly or processed.

Diseases for which autologous blood therapy is used:

  • Metabolic disorders
  • Immune reactions
  • Antibody formation
  • Acute and chronic infections
  • Degenerative diseases (e.g. rheumatic diseases)
  • Haematopoietic disorders
  • Condition after operations and long and serious illnesses
  • Allergies
  • Skin diseases

Autohaemotherapy has the following effects:

  • Improvement in general mental and physical well-being
  • Improved sleep
  • stimulation of appetite
  • Faster healing after infections Faster convalescence after metabolic diseases and operations
  • Pain-relieving effect in chronic pain conditions

As with all naturopathic therapies, an initial aggravation may occur after the first few treatments as a sign of the body’s incipient response. These symptoms usually only occur after the first or second autologous blood injection.

Carrying out autologous blood therapy

Depending on the illness and the duration of the illness, approx. 2 to 5 ml of blood is taken from the vein once to a maximum of three times a week (as with a blood sample). This blood is mixed with various homeopathic and naturopathic substances. The blood and the additives are then injected back into the gluteal muscle or under the abdominal skin.

This therapy can be reinforced by the following measures (depending on the disease, however, not all of the supplementary measures listed here may be useful).

  • Acupuncture
  • Administration of micronutrients and phytotherapeutics
  • Orthomolar medicine
  • Neural therapy
