What is GFR?
GFR - glomerular filtration rate is the best test to measure your level of kidney function and determine your stage of kidney disease. Your doctor can calculate it from the results of your blood creatinine test, your age, race, gender and other factors.
The earlier kidney disease is detected, the better the chance of slowing or stopping its progression.
What happens if my test results show I may have chronic kidney disease?
Your doctor will want to pinpoint your diagnosis and check your kidney function to help plan your treatment. The doctor may do the following:
Calculate your Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), which is the best way to tell how much kidney function you have. You do not need to have another test to know your GFR. Your doctor can calculate it from your blood creatinine, your age, race, gender and other factors. Your GFR tells your doctor your stage of kidney disease and helps the doctor plan your treatment.
Perform an ultrasound or CT scan to get a picture of your kidneys and urinary tract. This tells your doctor whether your kidneys are too large or too small, whether you have a problem like a kidney stone or tumor and whether there are any problems in the structure of your kidneys and urinary tract.
Perform a kidney biopsy, which is done in some cases to check for a specific type of kidney disease, see how much kidney damage has occurred and help plan treatment. To do a biopsy, the doctor removes small pieces of kidney tissue and looks at them under a microscope.
Your doctor may also ask you to see a kidney specialist who will consult on your case and help manage your care.
Understanding your lab values
People who develop chronic kidney disease may have some or all of the following tests and measurements. If you have kidney disease ask your doctor which tests you will have and how often they will be done. Speak to your doctor about your results. If your numbers are not in the normal range, ask how to improve them.
Serum Creatinine:
Creatinine is a waste product in your blood that comes from muscle activity. It is normally removed from your blood by your kidneys, but when kidney function slows down, the creatinine level rises. Your doctor should use the results of your serum creatinine test to calculate your GFR.
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR):
Your GFR tells how much kidney function you have. It may be estimated from your blood level of creatinine. If your GFR falls below 30 you will need to see a kidney disease specialist (called a nephrologist), Your kidney doctor will speak to you about treatments for kidney failure like dialysis or kidney transplant. A GFR below 15 indicates that you need to start one of these treatments.
Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN):
Urea nitrogen is a normal waste product in your blood that comes from the breakdown of protein from the foods you eat and from your body metabolism. It is normally removed from your blood by your kidneys, but when kidney function slows down, the BUN level rises. BUN can also rise if you eat more protein, and it can fall if you eat less protein.
Urine Protein: When your kidneys are damaged, protein leaks into your urine. A simple test can be done to detect protein in your urine. Persistent protein in the urine is an early sign of chronic kidney disease.
Microalbuminuria:
This is a sensitive test that can detect a small amount of protein in the urine.
Urine Creatinine: This test estimates the concentration of your urine and helps to give an accurate protein result.
Protein-to-Creatinine Ratio:
This estimates the amount of protein you excrete in your urine in a day and avoids the need to collect a 24-hour sample of your urine.
Serum Albumin:
Albumin is a type of body protein made from the protein you eat each day. A low level of albumin in your blood may be caused by not getting enough protein or calories from your diet. A low level of albumin may lead to health problems such as difficulty fighting off infections. Ask your dietitian how to get the right amount of protein and calories from your diet.
nPNA:
Your nPNA (normalized protein nitrogen appearance) is a test that may tell if you are eating enough protein. This measurement comes from lab studies that include a urine collection and blood work. Your dietitian may ask for an accurate food record to go with this test.
Subjective Global Assessment (SGA):
Your dietitian may use SGA to help check for signs of nutrition problems. The dietitian will ask you some questions about your daily diet and check your weight and the fat and muscle stores in your face, hands, arms, shoulders and legs. Ask your dietitian about your score on the SGA. If your score is too low, ask how to improve it.
Hemoglobin:
Hemoglobin is the part of red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to all parts of your body. Your hemoglobin level tells your doctor if you have anemia, which makes you feel tired and have little energy. If you have anemia, you may need treatment with iron supplements and a hormone called erythropoietin (EPO). The goal of anemia treatment is to reach and maintain a hemoglobin level of at least 11 to 12.
Hematocrit:
Your hematocrit is a measure of the red blood cells your body is making. A low hematocrit can mean you have anemia and need treatment with iron and EPO. You will feel less tired and have more energy when your hematocrit reaches at least 33 to 36 percent.
TSAT and Serum Ferritin:
Your TSAT (pronounced tee-sat) and serum ferritin (pronounced ferry-tin) are measures of iron in your body. Your TSAT should be above 20 percent and your serum ferritin should be above 100. This will help you build red blood cells. Your doctor will recommend iron supplements when needed to reach your target levels.
Parathyroid Hormone (PTH):
High levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) may result from a poor balance of calcium and phosphorus in your body. This can cause bone disease. Ask your doctor if your PTH level is in the right range. Your doctor may order a special prescription form of vitamin D to help lower your PTH. Caution: Do not take over-the-counter vitamin D unless ordered by your doctor.
Calcium:
Calcium is a mineral that is important for strong bones. Ask your doctor what your calcium level should be. To help balance the amount of calcium in your blood, your doctor may ask you to take calcium supplements and a special prescription form of vitamin D. Take only the supplements and medications recommended by your doctor.
Phosphorus:
A high phosphorus level can lead to weak bones. Ask your doctor what your phosphorus level should be. If your level is too high, your doctor may ask you to reduce your intake of foods that are high in phosphorus and take a type of medication called a phosphate binder with your meals and snacks.
Potassium:
Potassium is a mineral in your blood that helps your heart and muscles work properly. A potassium level that is too high or too low may weaken muscles and change your heartbeat. Whether you need to change the amount of high- potassium foods in your diet depends on your stage of kidney disease. Ask your doctor what your potassium level should be. Your dietitian can help you plan your diet to get the right amount of potassium.
Body Weight:
Maintaining a healthy weight is important to your overall health. If you are losing weight without even trying, you may not be getting the right nutrition to stay healthy. Your dietitian can suggest how to safely add extra calories to your diet if needed. On the other hand, if you are slowly gaining too much weight, you may need to reduce calories and increase your activity level. A sudden weight gain can also be a problem. If it is accompanied by swelling, shortness of breath and a rise in blood pressure, it may be a sign of too much fluid in your body. Speak to your doctor if your weight changes noticeably.
Blood Pressure:
Ask your doctor what your blood pressure should be. If your blood pressure is high, make sure to follow all the steps in your prescribed treatment, which may include taking high blood pressure medications, cutting down on the amount of salt in your diet, losing excess weight and following a regular exercise program.
Total Cholesterol:
Cholesterol is a fat-like substance found in your blood. A high cholesterol level may increase your chance of having heart and circulation problems. For many patients, a good level for total cholesterol is below 200. If your cholesterol level is too high, your doctor may ask you to make some changes in your diet and increase your activity level. In some cases, medications are also used.
HDL Cholesterol:
HDL cholesterol is a type of "good" cholesterol that protects your heart. For many patients, the target level for HDL cholesterol is above 40.
LDL Cholesterol:
LDL cholesterol is a type of "bad" cholesterol. A high LDL level may increase your chance of having heart and circulation problems. For many patients, the target level for LDL cholesterol is below 100. If your LDL level is too high, your doctor may ask you to make some changes in your diet and increase your activity level.
Triglyceride:
Triglyceride is a type of fat found in your blood. A high triglyceride level along with high levels of total and LDL cholesterol may increase your chance of heart and circulation problems.

Real Biology Alone Can Solve the Riddle of Cancer
by Prof. Dr. Günther Enderlein, Hamburg, Aumühle, Germany, Member of the Society for Freedom in Science at Oxford. ©Copyright 2001 by The Enderlein Group
If the chemist Professor Dr. Otto Warburg (Berlin) believes to have solved the riddle of cancer as a result of damage done to the chronic cell-breathing (In: Die Naturwissenschaften, 1954; Hamburger Abendblatt, dated 24.12.1954) then the "Christmas surprise" may rather be found in his -a Nobel-prize-holder - falling a victim of one of the numerous "watchwords" of doctrinal dogmatic dictatorships. This watchword runs as under:"Hundred different agitators of cancer cannot be valid. As a consequence thereof there is none at all."This catastrophic illogical standpoint, however, is even still surpassed by the still more catastrophic illogy of putting it into a question, which believes to be in a position to put off comparing morphologic questions with physiological answers. And on this convulsing "logic" - quite in the sense of the remonstrances of the comparing morphologist Leuckart against the Leipzig physiologist Ludwig (cf. Zeitschrift für wissenschaftliche Zoolog. 2. 1850) - O. Warburg is building up a fancy edifice of biologylessness.
A logical inference would be:
The conditional causes of the cancer and of all the chronic diseases are the 350 cancerogene substances and factors among them, above all, the albumen-over-feeding-diet, fattening the originator into pathogene phases.The inference (consecutio) of the conditional and causal causes, "the want of oxygen" O. Warburg declares as a "chronic damage to cellbreathing" and in a simultaneous want of every logic and every biological base as a "cause" of the cancer! (Neue Post, Düsseldorf, dated 5.2.1955). Thus: more clearly amplifying explanations about the nature of the cancer-disease itself, that are the documents for the causal causes of the cancer for the Nobel-prize-holder. That are juggler's tricks. It is a token of our time to consider waste-paper-mass-production for journals as the essence of the propaganda of enlightenment, which, however, is only adapted to waste foolishly time, paper, composition, printer's ink and public means of the nation.The causal causes represent the lasting permanency of a microorganism from primitive times, which is peculiar to all mammals, and which the original cultures define as a "degeneration of the juices of the body" (humoralpathology) and this, above all, even then, when diet and conduct of lives of men in an increasing measure offered cause that this original parasite (Endobiont) was in an increasing fattening state.The quite severe exigency of real biological considerations of the cancer problem is the observance of this road of perception, altogether in conformity with the knowledge of Pierre Delore, professor of the faculty of medicine in Lyon. "The science of health in its principal condition is an affair of biology" (vide: "Notre Frère Corps", Paris 1938, page 58). The absolute knowledge, next of all and above all, is tied to the conditional causes, a way, which the original cultures have taken since perhaps twenty-thousand years and which they felt entitled to consider as "causal". Hippocrates was the last who still defended this. Only Hahnemann one and a half centuries ago still thought to stir this up to fresh life again, however the real "causal cause" was missing viz., the agitator microbe, which they did away with after the pattern: "they couldn't see the wood for trees" by a very simple manipulation, viz. By one of the "thousand watchwords". Should this even come from the "Pandora's box"?In order to ascertain the value of the guidance of the chemist O. Warburg, who believes to solve and to exhaust the "riddle of the cancer by preventing breathing of the cells", one has to go a little farther back, for with only disciplines of another kind without any biology there can never be obtained a biological scope.The nature of the "chronic damages of the cell-breathing" naturally refers to disturbances of the change from two-valued iron into a higher valued one. The first who had pointed out to the fundamentally important fact of the disturbance of the circulation of iron in case of cancer was Spude in his theory of avidity, which he had already laid down in 1904 and which two years later was taken over by Fischer-Wasels. H. Dechow (Arch. For history of development of bacteria, Vol. 1, Part. 2, 1933, page 147) in 1933 had called special attention to the difference between a cell of the cancer and a normal cell would be as follows:"The cell of body breathes - the cell of cancer ferments."
This had been formulated by me in the following further development:
"For the organism of the host, cancer is a fermenting and decaying state, obtruded by a parasite - a fungus - and its shapes of development" whereby also Dechow's opinion is declined that the so-called cell of cancer should be the parasite itself. Warburg already decenniums ago had proved that in each cancer-tumor lactic acid is formed up to ten times the quantity of the normal content of lactic acid of the human tissue. Which physiological importance this increased content of lactic acid possesses, has been closely developed by me in 1950 (Immunobiologica, Vol. 3/4, pages 94-101) viz. On the basis of the"anartatic fundamental law", of the law of dependence of the ascending (probaenogenetic) tendency of the primitive phases of the microbe to confederations for higher and highest phases of the descending pH-value of the microorganism itself and of his surrounding nourishing medium. That means nothing else than that this microorganism creates for himself the ground in order to render feasible its higher phases of development. These formations of acid for this purpose are by all means of species specific nature that is to say therefore, that each kind forms its own organic acids in order to render possible the ascending tendency (probaenogeny) at all. It is well known that the lemon acid in the market has never seen a lemon. It rather descends from the culture of Aspergillus niger van Tieghem, which are technically cultured by special institutions. As an example this is also the case with Penicillium notatum, the "Penicillin-acid". As we see it is here the question of acids of the organic chemistry. Thus we are approaching the deciding question which runs: what for a part acts the presence of up to ten times the quantity of lactic acid not only in the tumor, but also in the whole blood as well as the liquids of the body (part of deterioration of blood of the tumoral-pathology!) of a she-cancer-patient? Well, the answer represents itself as a very simple one: it is the factor of the microorganism Mucor racemosus Fresen, (of the Endobiont in direction of the descending pH, in order to arrive at a higher state of development on basis of the anartatic fundamental law. Upon page 99 l.c. a sketch has been brought by me, which symbolizes these proceedings in scheme. By this constant formation of organic acid in question in this manner the primitive phases will be gradually brought over to the phases of bacteria and finally the phases of bacteria into the phases of fungus. For this rise, however, interior valences (values) gradually must be built up, which deliver the substance for the higher confederations of the primitive phases; this process is one of the factors of increasing the gravity of sickness and - formally inverted are, proceeded in the opposite way, viz. Descending from the higher phases of development to inferior and to the primitive phases valences (values) are available in order to diminish themselves to more primitive phases. Hence such a trial is very simple, which was again and again pointed out by me as the most simple proof of the uniformity in the specific sense of:"phases of fungus" - "phases of bacteria" - "primitive phases".For, adding 5% of a solution of soda or double carbonate of soda the Chrondit-state will at once spring forth both from the bacteria and fungus-mycel, viz. In the shape of long scortches (fila) with tiny button-endings of a Symprotite (primitive granule). I have already pointed out in 1933 in "Ende der Herrschaft der Zelle als letzte biologische Einheit" (Arch. Entw. Bakterien I, 2, pages 171 to 179, Illustration 5.) [published in Explore!, Volume 6, Number 1, pgs. 4 - 7 as "The End of the Cell's Dominant Role as the Ultimate Biological Unit"] as well as in 1943 in "Cancerologica I" Arch. f. Entwicklungsgeschichte der Bakterien). In Immunobiologica, vol. 3/4 (1950, page 115), it has been displayed by me, how the further correlations of these downright biological questions could only be accounted for by the discovery of the "yellow ferments", which follow the oxygen communicating iron. (O. Warburg and W. Christian, Biochem. Zeitschr. 254, 438, 1932). The investigations of Botelli and Stern proved that the accessorial breathing, which f.e. takes place in totally cleared juices of yeast, represents a transfer of oxygen by yellow ferments, which during the extraction of the cells separated by the insoluble iron system, laid open and become oxygen transferring ferments. The knowledge developed by Warburg (1924) that the molecular oxygen, which disappears in the breathing of the aerobe cell, never reacts directly with the biologic phlogiston, but only and exclusively with complex bound two-valued iron. This opinion revised fundamentally the opinion of Justus von Liebig (Tierchemie 1843) that the iron of the hemoglobin should oxidize the biological fuels in the blood, hence a confusion of transport of oxygen and combustion, between hemoglobin and catalytically powerful cell-iron. And the higher valued iron thus created will be re-reduced by the organic substance to two-valued iron. The oxygen in the cell-breathing is transported by the change of valence of a complex iron combination, by it the iron is the oxygen transporting constituent of the breathing ferment. Later on it has been found the catalytic activity of the haemine, which rests upon the constituents of iron, in numerous organisms also of vegetable nature, which appear in red, green and mixed-colored, and also represent the essential constituent of the chlorophyll.Still there remains the critical step to embrace all this knowledge. So we find that the primitive parasite - the Endobiont - in all its manifold shapes of appearance always represents the cause, by its constant activity in forming lactic acid in cases of cancer, with the entire complex of Endobiosis of chronic diseases, to undermine and remove the catalysator-activity of the iron by chemically binding of the iron. And then so there arises: lactic acid iron oxydul: "Fe (C3H5O3): 3 H2O". Whilst the lactic acid is playing a fundamentally important part of digestion in the stomach and in the intestinal tract, the pathological state of the formation within the cancer-tumors and within the tissue of the patients sick of Endobiosis is of catastrophic issue as to anaemy and deficient nutrition of oxygen, and as a climax entire suffocation with lethal issue.Since just in the case of cancer any combustion has been reduced for want of oxygen, a strongly reduced formation of lactic acid should be reckoned with a cancer-sick organism. This, however, is not at all the case as is documented by the up to tenfold formation of lactic acid in case of cancer. This secretion of lactic acid rather is a private enterprise of specific nature of the Endobiont: Mucor racemosus Fresen. It also represents the causal cause for this, namely quite in the frame of the anartatic fundamental law, according to which each and every microbe is compelled to form its specific acid in order to ensure its cyclic ascendence (probaenogeny).An artificial addition of haemines, beyond a doubt, will result in a reduction of the deficiency of oxygen owing to the want of iron as a catalysator. Wolrad Schotten recommends the intravenous injection of iron oxyduloxyd in the shape of fine grain to fight these two deficiencies, which practical application I have had a chance in getting acquainted with in earlier times with a physician in Berlin-Zehlendorf. The iron grains, by no means very fine, for a long time work in the cell-plasma in this condition as catalysators for the oxygen-housekeeping. Presumably during this time of staying in the shape of grains, traces of the iron are transformed into haemines, which then in the "status nascendi" are in a position to develop a livelier activity (cf. Immunobiologica, Vol. 3/4, 1950, page 116). By that, anyhow, no healing of the cancer has been achieved, not at all. The Waerland-diet, however, by a strongly increased supply of fresh salads of all kinds not only furnishes the possibility to do away with the deficiency of iron and simultaneously of oxygen by the increased supply of chlorophyll, but - on the other hand - quite in general, by keeping away animal albumen and, above all by strictest vegetable diet, to meet the insatiable hunger of albumen of the Endobiont, consequently preventing its fattening into higher stages and valences, and to deliver it up to quite a natural reduction. It may still be noted that two-valued iron contains aerosan, which is also applied by some physicians in case of cancer.Chemo-therapeutic measures oppose the bipolarity of the causal microbe by an immense resistive capacity, so that the human cells then would obtain a far greater damage. The "organic acids" of all antibiotica including Sanamycin (cf. D.M.W. 80, Year No. 1, 20.1.1955, pages 140-143) as well only can change the symptoms temporarily, whilst the sickness will be impaired by seeming healing (cf. J. Zinsius: Die Antibiotica and ihre Schattenseiten, 1954). So there is nothing left but a pure biological measure, viz. Making amends for the primitive phases and live-colloids, gone lost by the diet of civilization and the conduct of life, which alone are adapted for removing the higher phases of development in connection with an increasing pathogenity, indeed the former copulation with the primitive kernels (Mych) of the higher phases.This is the way to remove the primitive parasite Mucor racemosus Fresen with all its many hundreds of shapes of development and valence of development by real biological proceedings.As to the trials of Harry Goldblatt and Gladys Cameron in the United States, to change normal cells of body of tissue cultures of 2-1/2 years and a periodical withdrawal of oxygen in tumor cells, this rests upon the fact that every cell of the body of all mammals harbors the Endobiont in any primitive stage and that these, when thus barbarically treated, are no more in a position to raise the requisite means of defense in order to stop sufficiently the probaenogeny and the increase of the Endobiont. Years ago already I have repeatedly pointed out to a ridiculously simple trial to arrive at the same end with cells of the body. If one takes the blood from the venules - whereby it is all the same, whether the blood is taken from cancer-sick patients or from quite healthy persons - only 12 - 14 days after having taken the blood from the patient, storing the venule during this time at room temperature, if you then watch the Erythrocytes under cover glass, one will find that the red blood globules have been completely hollowed out by the swarming Chrondites of the Endobiont, that therefore the albumen of these blood cells have been entirely consumed by the Endobiont, the causal cause of the cancer, and these phases already watched and exhaustively dealt with by sanitary counselor Dr. Med. Otto Schmidt in Munich 1903, describing them as "Schwärmerchen" i.e. little swarmers, carrying out very vivacious dances of copulation within the Erythrocytes.Well, since more than half a century the epigones of this man then have completely ignored the shapes of this Chrondit-stage, exactly described by Schmidt and even the expert for blood research, Professor Dr. Med. Hans Franke (Berlin) in his "phase-contrast hematology" did contrive to comprehend the lively mobility of the phase of the typical Chrondit-picture consisting of long Filum with numerous divers Symprotites primitive kernels distributed over the length of the Filum as Brown-molecular-movement (f.i. in fig. 13 and 14, though these throughout typical shapes have already been presented in the shape of photos by the Archives for the history of development of bacteria, vol. I, part 3, 1937, page 193 in figure 3 in a lively movable state and in figure 1 and 2 in a stiff motionless state. Every biologist would have isolated the shapes at once and would have bred them upon nutrient agar and in liquid fostering.How many termini of cell shapes of anomalous nature already refer to the "workshop of the Endobiont alone for the preparation of the tumor-formations" viz. Upon the marrow of the bones! They prove step by step the loss of capacity of cell-division by the constant attack of the parasite, the Endobiont, and its enhancing of the valence and of the phases of development, so f.i. of the chain kernel cells, which reach fingerlike far into other tissues and can also be met in tumors which, however, biologically speaking correspond with the Myelocytes of the marrow of the bone and of the blood, and represent the expression of the reaction of the irritation upon the strong multiplication of the parasite, which the cells believes to evade by hastiest divisions. The potency of it is exactly the Megacaryocyte of Metschnikow, likewise in the marrow of the bone, which harbors immeasurable quantities of parasites, and which consequently take over the function of transformation of the Symprotites into thrombocytes in the like manner, as the befallen Erythrocytes of the blood, and on the other hand in the extreme the direct formation of Mycel of the Mucor racemosus Fresen as reported already by Tissot (1925) and illustrated in fig. 27 by Enderlein (Arch. Entw. Bakt. 1.5.1937, page 209). As we see the flowing happening of this primitive parasite is boundless. A further product of the unusual befall of Endobionts of the marrow of the bone are the Normoblasts and the Megaloblasts, with which the befall of Endobionts ascends to a colony-like gathering the pseudo-kernel. Transitions of it are the Reticulocytes, which show forth a wide dissemination in the blood.The boundless heaping of high-valenced parasites thus revealed represents the causal cause that Bogomoljets had exactly chosen this material to start with for his serum, though neither he nor Niehans never have had the slightest idea of the true nature and virtue of their preparations, which prove to be of a quite isopathic nature. All these boundless possibilities of the different valences and phases of development of the parasite in the total amount of cells of the human body represent at the same time also the biggest share of the so-called "constitution", whereby a substantial part of this terminus has further developed itself into a considerably more palpable factor.Again and again I have pointed out the practiced methods exercised by some disciplines, standing as outsiders of the biology and systematically paying no heed to the fundamental biological facts. Some of the most important moments may be repeated hereafter. Here are to be found the biological "proves", again and again demanded by the gentlemen of the doctrine since decenniums, which are fully answered since almost half a century.The fact that Fontes (Mem. Institut. Oswaldo Cruz, I, 2, 1910, page 186) proved as the first the infectuosity of the filtrate of tuberculous material, C. Nicolle (Bulletin de l'institut Pasteur XXIX, 1931, pages 209-224, 273-280) interpreted these already as separated phases of development, H. Dostal (Wien. Mediz. Wochenschrift, Vol. 60, 1910, pages 2098-2100 and Vol. 63, 1913) in addition still confirmed the ball-shaped Basit-stage, and Enderlein (Arch. Entw. Gesch. Der Bakterien, Vol. I, part 2, 1931, pages 6-13, 53-105, Table 1 and Illustration 76) already a voluminous circulation covering three groups of phases: "primitive phases - phases of bacteria - phases of fungus", as well as in: "The End of the Cell's Dominant Role as the Ultimate Biological Unit" l.c. Vol. I, 2, pages 171-179, July 1933) that that "Omne vivum ex ovo" *(Harvey 1651) as well that "Omnis cellula e cellula" excludes for good, are ample documents.It is insignificant to enter closer into the main treatise and the numerous reports (f.i. Hamburger Abenblatt, dated 8./9.1.1955, Hamburger Morgenpost, dated 10.1.1955). Worthy of notice is only the very dexterous concession for a retreat of Otto Warburg in the last mentioned paper. "There is no producer of cancer, that enters the body from without", which can be fully confirmed, for all chronic diseases inclusive of cancer are by no means diseases of infection, but the exciter of microbes in the most primitive times during the shaping of these mammals, had been infected to all these mammal-primitive-shapes, and since that time lives with all mammals as a permanent parasite in order to produce with its thousands of phases of development (probaenogeny) always stronger pathogenities and also on this route, to let arise thousands of forms of maladies. It is therefore the question of gradual building up of the always present permanent-parasite to higher and always stronger pathogene shapes from positively apathogene primitive phases (scanty valent Symprotites + colloids) to a befall from within.Totally corresponding with the knowledge of the primitive cultures up to Hippocrates, viz. A synthetic mode of contemplation of nearly twenty thousands of years, which then was succeeded in turn by an analytic mode of contemplation of two thousand five hundred years. And the success is formulated hereafter:"Disciplines, which educate blindness against biological laws of nature by 'watchwords', will never be capable of solving the problem of cancer and of all chronic diseases."
If the chemist Professor Dr. Otto Warburg (Berlin) believes to have solved the riddle of cancer as a result of damage done to the chronic cell-breathing (In: Die Naturwissenschaften, 1954; Hamburger Abendblatt, dated 24.12.1954) then the "Christmas surprise" may rather be found in his -a Nobel-prize-holder - falling a victim of one of the numerous "watchwords" of doctrinal dogmatic dictatorships. This watchword runs as under:"Hundred different agitators of cancer cannot be valid. As a consequence thereof there is none at all."This catastrophic illogical standpoint, however, is even still surpassed by the still more catastrophic illogy of putting it into a question, which believes to be in a position to put off comparing morphologic questions with physiological answers. And on this convulsing "logic" - quite in the sense of the remonstrances of the comparing morphologist Leuckart against the Leipzig physiologist Ludwig (cf. Zeitschrift für wissenschaftliche Zoolog. 2. 1850) - O. Warburg is building up a fancy edifice of biologylessness.
A logical inference would be:
The conditional causes of the cancer and of all the chronic diseases are the 350 cancerogene substances and factors among them, above all, the albumen-over-feeding-diet, fattening the originator into pathogene phases.The inference (consecutio) of the conditional and causal causes, "the want of oxygen" O. Warburg declares as a "chronic damage to cellbreathing" and in a simultaneous want of every logic and every biological base as a "cause" of the cancer! (Neue Post, Düsseldorf, dated 5.2.1955). Thus: more clearly amplifying explanations about the nature of the cancer-disease itself, that are the documents for the causal causes of the cancer for the Nobel-prize-holder. That are juggler's tricks. It is a token of our time to consider waste-paper-mass-production for journals as the essence of the propaganda of enlightenment, which, however, is only adapted to waste foolishly time, paper, composition, printer's ink and public means of the nation.The causal causes represent the lasting permanency of a microorganism from primitive times, which is peculiar to all mammals, and which the original cultures define as a "degeneration of the juices of the body" (humoralpathology) and this, above all, even then, when diet and conduct of lives of men in an increasing measure offered cause that this original parasite (Endobiont) was in an increasing fattening state.The quite severe exigency of real biological considerations of the cancer problem is the observance of this road of perception, altogether in conformity with the knowledge of Pierre Delore, professor of the faculty of medicine in Lyon.

By one of the "thousand watchwords". Should this even come from the "Pandora's box"?In order to ascertain the value of the guidance of the chemist O. Warburg, who believes to solve and to exhaust the "riddle of the cancer by preventing breathing of the cells", one has to go a little farther back, for with only disciplines of another kind without any biology there can never be obtained a biological scope.The nature of the "chronic damages of the cell-breathing" naturally refers to disturbances of the change from two-valued iron into a higher valued one. The first who had pointed out to the fundamentally important fact of the disturbance of the circulation of iron in case of cancer was Spude in his theory of avidity, which he had already laid down in 1904 and which two years later was taken over by Fischer-Wasels. H. Dechow (Arch. For history of development of bacteria, Vol. 1, Part. 2, 1933, page 147) in 1933 had called special attention to the difference between a cell of the cancer and a normal cell would be as follows:"The cell of body breathes - the cell of cancer ferments."
This had been formulated by me in the following further development:
"For the organism of the host, cancer is a fermenting and decaying state, obtruded by a parasite - a fungus - and its shapes of development" whereby also Dechow's opinion is declined that the so-called cell of cancer should be the parasite itself. Warburg already decenniums ago had proved that in each cancer-tumor lactic acid is formed up to ten times the quantity of the normal content of lactic acid of the human tissue. Which physiological importance this increased content of lactic acid possesses, has been closely developed by me in 1950 (Immunobiologica, Vol. 3/4, pages 94-101) viz. On the basis of the"anartatic fundamental law", of the law of dependence of the ascending (probaenogenetic) tendency of the primitive phases of the microbe to confederations for higher and highest phases of the descending pH-value of the microorganism itself and of his surrounding nourishing medium. That means nothing else than that this microorganism creates for himself the ground in order to render feasible its higher phases of development. These formations of acid for this purpose are by all means of species specific nature that is to say therefore, that each kind forms its own organic acids in order to render possible the ascending tendency (probaenogeny) at all. It is well known that the lemon acid in the market has never seen a lemon. It rather descends from the culture of Aspergillus niger van Tieghem, which are technically cultured by special institutions. As an example this is also the case with Penicillium notatum, the "Penicillin-acid". As we see it is here the question of acids of the organic chemistry. Thus we are approaching the deciding question which runs: what for a part acts the presence of up to ten times the quantity of lactic acid not only in the tumor, but also in the whole blood as well as the liquids of the body (part of deterioration of blood of the tumoral-pathology!) of a she-cancer-patient? Well, the answer represents itself as a very simple one: it is the factor of the microorganism Mucor racemosus Fresen, (of the Endobiont in direction of the descending pH, in order to arrive at a higher state of development on basis of the anartatic fundamental law. Upon page 99 l.c. a sketch has been brought by me, which symbolizes these proceedings in scheme. By this constant formation of organic acid in question in this manner the primitive phases will be gradually brought over to the phases of bacteria and finally the phases of bacteria into the phases of fungus. For this rise, however, interior valences (values) gradually must be built up, which deliver the substance for the higher confederations of the primitive phases; this process is one of the factors of increasing the gravity of sickness and - formally inverted are, proceeded in the opposite way, viz. Descending from the higher phases of development to inferior and to the primitive phases valences (values) are available in order to diminish themselves to more primitive phases. Hence such a trial is very simple, which was again and again pointed out by me as the most simple proof of the uniformity in the specific sense of:"phases of fungus" - "phases of bacteria" - "primitive phases".For, adding 5% of a solution of soda or double carbonate of soda the Chrondit-state will at once spring forth both from the bacteria and fungus-mycel, viz. In the shape of long scortches (fila) with tiny button-endings of a Symprotite (primitive granule). I have already pointed out in 1933 in "Ende der Herrschaft der Zelle als letzte biologische Einheit" (Arch. Entw. Bakterien I, 2, pages 171 to 179, Illustration 5.) [published in Explore!, Volume 6, Number 1, pgs. 4 - 7 as "The End of the Cell's Dominant Role as the Ultimate Biological Unit"] as well as in 1943 in "Cancerologica I" Arch. f. Entwicklungsgeschichte der Bakterien). In Immunobiologica, vol. 3/4 (1950, page 115), it has been displayed by me, how the further correlations of these downright biological questions could only be accounted for by the discovery of the "yellow ferments", which follow the oxygen communicating iron. (O. Warburg and W. Christian, Biochem. Zeitschr. 254, 438, 1932). The investigations of Botelli and Stern proved that the accessorial breathing, which f.e. takes place in totally cleared juices of yeast, represents a transfer of oxygen by yellow ferments, which during the extraction of the cells separated by the insoluble iron system, laid open and become oxygen transferring ferments. The knowledge developed by Warburg (1924) that the molecular oxygen, which disappears in the breathing of the aerobe cell, never reacts directly with the biologic phlogiston, but only and exclusively with complex bound two-valued iron. This opinion revised fundamentally the opinion of Justus von Liebig (Tierchemie 1843) that the iron of the hemoglobin should oxidize the biological fuels in the blood, hence a confusion of transport of oxygen and combustion, between hemoglobin and catalytically powerful cell-iron. And the higher valued iron thus created will be re-reduced by the organic substance to two-valued iron. The oxygen in the cell-breathing is transported by the change of valence of a complex iron combination, by it the iron is the oxygen transporting constituent of the breathing ferment. Later on it has been found the catalytic activity of the haemine, which rests upon the constituents of iron, in numerous organisms also of vegetable nature, which appear in red, green and mixed-colored, and also represent the essential constituent of the chlorophyll.Still there remains the critical step to embrace all this knowledge. So we find that the primitive parasite - the Endobiont - in all its manifold shapes of appearance always represents the cause, by its constant activity in forming lactic acid in cases of cancer, with the entire complex of Endobiosis of chronic diseases, to undermine and remove the catalysator-activity of the iron by chemically binding of the iron. And then so there arises: lactic acid iron oxydul: "Fe (C3H5O3): 3 H2O". Whilst the lactic acid is playing a fundamentally important part of digestion in the stomach and in the intestinal tract, the pathological state of the formation within the cancer-tumors and within the tissue of the patients sick of Endobiosis is of catastrophic issue as to anaemy and deficient nutrition of oxygen, and as a climax entire suffocation with lethal issue.Since just in the case of cancer any combustion has been reduced for want of oxygen, a strongly reduced formation of lactic acid should be reckoned with a cancer-sick organism. This, however, is not at all the case as is documented by the up to tenfold formation of lactic acid in case of cancer. This secretion of lactic acid rather is a private enterprise of specific nature of the Endobiont: Mucor racemosus Fresen. It also represents the causal cause for this, namely quite in the frame of the anartatic fundamental law, according to which each and every microbe is compelled to form its specific acid in order to ensure its cyclic ascendence (probaenogeny).An artificial addition of haemines, beyond a doubt, will result in a reduction of the deficiency of oxygen owing to the want of iron as a catalysator. Wolrad Schotten recommends the intravenous injection of iron oxyduloxyd in the shape of fine grain to fight these two deficiencies, which practical application I have had a chance in getting acquainted with in earlier times with a physician in Berlin-Zehlendorf. The iron grains, by no means very fine, for a long time work in the cell-plasma in this condition as catalysators for the oxygen-housekeeping. Presumably during this time of staying in the shape of grains, traces of the iron are transformed into haemines, which then in the "status nascendi" are in a position to develop a livelier activity (cf. Immunobiologica, Vol. 3/4, 1950, page 116). By that, anyhow, no healing of the cancer has been achieved, not at all. The Waerland-diet, however, by a strongly increased supply of fresh salads of all kinds not only furnishes the possibility to do away with the deficiency of iron and simultaneously of oxygen by the increased supply of chlorophyll, but - on the other hand - quite in general, by keeping away animal albumen and, above all by strictest vegetable diet, to meet the insatiable hunger of albumen of the Endobiont, consequently preventing its fattening into higher stages and valences, and to deliver it up to quite a natural reduction. It may still be noted that two-valued iron contains aerosan, which is also applied by some physicians in case of cancer.Chemo-therapeutic measures oppose the bipolarity of the causal microbe by an immense resistive capacity, so that the human cells then would obtain a far greater damage. The "organic acids" of all antibiotica including Sanamycin (cf. D.M.W. 80, Year No. 1, 20.1.1955, pages 140-143) as well only can change the symptoms temporarily, whilst the sickness will be impaired by seeming healing (cf. J. Zinsius: Die Antibiotica and ihre Schattenseiten, 1954). So there is nothing left but a pure biological measure, viz. Making amends for the primitive phases and live-colloids, gone lost by the diet of civilization and the conduct of life, which alone are adapted for removing the higher phases of development in connection with an increasing pathogenity, indeed the former copulation with the primitive kernels (Mych) of the higher phases.This is the way to remove the primitive parasite Mucor racemosus Fresen with all its many hundreds of shapes of development and valence of development by real biological proceedings.As to the trials of Harry Goldblatt and Gladys Cameron in the United States, to change normal cells of body of tissue cultures of 2-1/2 years and a periodical withdrawal of oxygen in tumor cells, this rests upon the fact that every cell of the body of all mammals harbors the Endobiont in any primitive stage and that these, when thus barbarically treated, are no more in a position to raise the requisite means of defense in order to stop sufficiently the probaenogeny and the increase of the Endobiont. Years ago already I have repeatedly pointed out to a ridiculously simple trial to arrive at the same end with cells of the body. If one takes the blood from the venules - whereby it is all the same, whether the blood is taken from cancer-sick patients or from quite healthy persons - only 12 - 14 days after having taken the blood from the patient, storing the venule during this time at room temperature, if you then watch the Erythrocytes under cover glass, one will find that the red blood globules have been completely hollowed out by the swarming Chrondites of the Endobiont, that therefore the albumen of these blood cells have been entirely consumed by the Endobiont, the causal cause of the cancer, and these phases already watched and exhaustively dealt with by sanitary counselor Dr. Med. Otto Schmidt in Munich 1903, describing them as "Schwärmerchen" i.e. little swarmers, carrying out very vivacious dances of copulation within the Erythrocytes.Well, since more than half a century the epigones of this man then have completely ignored the shapes of this Chrondit-stage, exactly described by Schmidt and even the expert for blood research, Professor Dr. Med. Hans Franke (Berlin) in his "phase-contrast hematology" did contrive to comprehend the lively mobility of the phase of the typical Chrondit-picture consisting of long Filum with numerous divers Symprotites primitive kernels distributed over the length of the Filum as Brown-molecular-movement (f.i. in fig. 13 and 14, though these throughout typical shapes have already been presented in the shape of photos by the Archives for the history of development of bacteria, vol. I, part 3, 1937, page 193 in figure 3 in a lively movable state and in figure 1 and 2 in a stiff motionless state. Every biologist would have isolated the shapes at once and would have bred them upon nutrient agar and in liquid fostering.How many termini of cell shapes of anomalous nature already refer to the "workshop of the Endobiont alone for the preparation of the tumor-formations" viz. Upon the marrow of the bones! They prove step by step the loss of capacity of cell-division by the constant attack of the parasite, the Endobiont, and its enhancing of the valence and of the phases of development, so f.i. of the chain kernel cells, which reach fingerlike far into other tissues and can also be met in tumors which, however, biologically speaking correspond with the Myelocytes of the marrow of the bone and of the blood, and represent the expression of the reaction of the irritation upon the strong multiplication of the parasite, which the cells believes to evade by hastiest divisions. The potency of it is exactly the Megacaryocyte of Metschnikow, likewise in the marrow of the bone, which harbors immeasurable quantities of parasites, and which consequently take over the function of transformation of the Symprotites into thrombocytes in the like manner, as the befallen Erythrocytes of the blood, and on the other hand in the extreme the direct formation of Mycel of the Mucor racemosus Fresen as reported already by Tissot (1925) and illustrated in fig. 27 by Enderlein (Arch. Entw. Bakt. 1.5.1937, page 209). As we see the flowing happening of this primitive parasite is boundless. A further product of the unusual befall of Endobionts of the marrow of the bone are the Normoblasts and the Megaloblasts, with which the befall of Endobionts ascends to a colony-like gathering the pseudo-kernel. Transitions of it are the Reticulocytes, which show forth a wide dissemination in the blood.The boundless heaping of high-valenced parasites thus revealed represents the causal cause that Bogomoljets had exactly chosen this material to start with for his serum, though neither he nor Niehans never have had the slightest idea of the true nature and virtue of their preparations, which prove to be of a quite isopathic nature. All these boundless possibilities of the different valences and phases of development of the parasite in the total amount of cells of the human body represent at the same time also the biggest share of the so-called "constitution", whereby a substantial part of this terminus has further developed itself into a considerably more palpable factor.Again and again I have pointed out the practiced methods exercised by some disciplines, standing as outsiders of the biology and systematically paying no heed to the fundamental biological facts. Some of the most important moments may be repeated hereafter. Here are to be found the biological "proves", again and again demanded by the gentlemen of the doctrine since decenniums, which are fully answered since almost half a century.The fact that Fontes (Mem. Institut. Oswaldo Cruz, I, 2, 1910, page 186) proved as the first the infectuosity of the filtrate of tuberculous material, C. Nicolle (Bulletin de l'institut Pasteur XXIX, 1931, pages 209-224, 273-280) interpreted these already as separated phases of development, H. Dostal (Wien. Mediz. Wochenschrift, Vol. 60, 1910, pages 2098-2100 and Vol. 63, 1913) in addition still confirmed the ball-shaped Basit-stage, and Enderlein (Arch. Entw. Gesch. Der Bakterien, Vol. I, part 2, 1931, pages 6-13, 53-105, Table 1 and Illustration 76) already a voluminous circulation covering three groups of phases: "primitive phases - phases of bacteria - phases of fungus", as well as in: "The End of the Cell's Dominant Role as the Ultimate Biological Unit" l.c. Vol. I, 2, pages 171-179, July 1933) that that "Omne vivum ex ovo" *(Harvey 1651) as well that "Omnis cellula e cellula" excludes for good, are ample documents.It is insignificant to enter closer into the main treatise and the numerous reports (f.i. Hamburger Abenblatt, dated 8./9.1.1955, Hamburger Morgenpost, dated 10.1.1955). Worthy of notice is only the very dexterous concession for a retreat of Otto Warburg in the last mentioned paper. "There is no producer of cancer, that enters the body from without", which can be fully confirmed, for all chronic diseases inclusive of cancer are by no means diseases of infection, but the exciter of microbes in the most primitive times during the shaping of these mammals, had been infected to all these mammal-primitive-shapes, and since that time lives with all mammals as a permanent parasite in order to produce with its thousands of phases of development (probaenogeny) always stronger pathogenities and also on this route, to let arise thousands of forms of maladies. It is therefore the question of gradual building up of the always present permanent-parasite to higher and always stronger pathogene shapes from positively apathogene primitive phases (scanty valent Symprotites + colloids) to a befall from within.Totally corresponding with the knowledge of the primitive cultures up to Hippocrates, viz. A synthetic mode of contemplation of nearly twenty thousands of years, which then was succeeded in turn by an analytic mode of contemplation of two thousand five hundred years. And the success is formulated hereafter:"Disciplines, which educate blindness against biological laws of nature by 'watchwords', will never be capable of solving the problem of cancer and of all chronic diseases."
Polymorphic Symbionts as Potential Cofactors in Cancer Processes
by Karl Windstosser© Copyright 1997 Explore Publications, Inc. Republished with their permission.1915
G. Fichera and Citelli (Milan) described "bacterial form elements" in human tumors; after 1925, this included various developmental phases of these in coccal and rod form. It is not clear whether Fichera produced a therapeutic agent from this -- which he designated as "Oncovaccina" -- or whether this name applied to an extract derived from sheep spleen, thymus, duodenum, lymph glands and bone marrow, which Fichera injected his patients with beginning about 1934.
That would make this researcher -- at about the same time as Niehans -- one of the founders of organocellular or cytoplasmatic therapy, which is based on the empirical fact that sheep are the only mammals that are never (or extremely rarely) infested with cancer and that malignant vaccination tumors are just as unlikely to be transferable to them. This is especially true of the younger animals and lambs. We now know that the spleen, thymus and lymph glands exercise central functions in defensive and regulatory processes.
Somewhat later, Clara Jolles-Fonti (1954) and Guarnieri silently took over Fichera's ideas and therapy and added their own work to it. The ingredients of the preparation were simplified, initially to a combination of liver, spleen and duodenal extracts, and, finally, just liver and spleen. In this form, Permicutan (now biosyn.) took over production from Guarnieri in 1950. One milliliter of the preparation "Factor AF 2 Guarnieri" contains the extract from 7 grams liver and 3 grams spleen. The preparation has earned a good reputation in the field of holistic tumor therapy, despite the omission of the thymus component.

Günther Enderlein (1872-1968), biologist and zoologist, professor and curator at the Zoological Museum of the University of Berlin, first presented his revolutionary reconfiguration of bacteriology (developed during the war years -- he had been an army bacteriologist) to the Society of Friends of Natural-Science Research [Gesellschaft Naturforschende Freunde].

Günther Enderlein (1872-1968), biologist and zoologist, professor and curator at the Zoological Museum of the University of Berlin, first presented his revolutionary reconfiguration of bacteriology (developed during the war years -- he had been an army bacteriologist) to the Society of Friends of Natural-Science Research [Gesellschaft Naturforschende Freunde].
Because of war-related problems, his book Bacterial Cyclogeny. Prolegomena to Investigations into the Structure, Sexual and Asexual Reproduction and Development of the Bacteria, finished in the same year, was not able to be printed and published until 1925. Ever since Cohn (1870) and Koch (1876), bacterial monomorphism had become dogma, even though this idea had at first only had provisional status, to provide a framework for additional research.
Even its promulgators continued to report casually on morphological variants of the microbes they observed -- and, in the foreword to his Bacterial Cyclogeny, Enderlein cites a series of predecessors and contemporaries who agreed with the generally postulated and concretely described process of the developmental cycle. In his tireless studies and interpretations, he found the explanation for many controversial microbial findings -- many first described by him, in part heterogeneous, in part identical -- as well as the key to many hitherto (and to some extent to this day) scientifically unexplained processes in pathogenesis and diseases transmission, healing and immunity.
According to Enderlein, all microbes go through a species-specific cycle, which bacteriological theory accepts as quite self-evident for malaria, but which to this day it resists acknowledging for bacteria and fungi, even though there is no exception in the whole wide world to the law of eternal change and the unity of the macrocosm with the microcosm."Cyclogeny" means the transformation and migration of all pathogenic and apathogenic germs through all phases (valences) from the limits of the visible and smaller -- the viral region -- on through the higher-valence phases of the textbook coccal and rod forms and up to the culminant phases of fungi and their mycelia.
In this, the bacterial nucleus plays an important role, which, though Enderlein was aware of it, was not correctly interpreted as to function. Its reduplication corresponds to the length of the bacterial body. According to Enderlein's "Anartatic Fundamental Law", valence increase depends on the prevailing pH of the blood or tissues. The bacteria multiply -- and this, too, was one of Enderlein's fundamental insights -- either asexually by fission or budding (Auxanogeny) or sexually after preliminary nuclear fusion (Probaenogeny).
The latter is always the prerequisite for phasal development upward or downward. The principle of polymorphism and sexual -- i.e. by means of nuclear fusion -- reproduction of bacteria was confirmed 40 years after Enderlein by the Nobel Prize laureates Lederberg, Taumg and Hayes (cited in Seeger, P. G.: Immune Processes and Cancer [Immungeschehen und Krebs] Semmelweis Verlag, Hoya).
Before Enderlein, Mori (1910) had already supported this idea.Out of the many concepts which Enderlein created for his theory, we can here only mention those which are of specific significance for oncological considerations. But this terminology was necessary and justified, since to go back to the usual terminology of orthodox bacteriology or to the nomenclature of the microbe researchers before Enderlein would only have given rise to more new misunderstandings or misinterpretations.Enderlein designated the smallest and lowest bacterial stage as Protit.
It consists of the bare nucleus (Mych) with no protoplasmic coat (Trophosom). One-dimensional reproduction leads to the formation of extremely fine threadlets, or Filits, two- and three-dimensional reproduction to Symprotits. In all, these 3 phases represent Chondritosis, within which a continuously alternating phase-change takes place. Chondrits are in the virus size range (15-300 nm) and are barely visible in the darkfield. Bacteriophages -- Enderlein's interpretation of which differs radically from the orthodox view -- also belong to this stage.
Bacterial flagella are likewise Filits.Higher developmental stages arise -- always dependent on environmental conditions -- through the formation of double- and multiple-nucleus cells with Trophosomes, in which each reduplication of the nuclei corresponds to the next higher stage, or Valence, of the Endobiont. The Enderleinian terms are, in sequence: Basit, Phytit, Rhabdit, Linit, Ascit, Synascit and -- the highest developmental form (Culminant) -- Amoebit.
This represents the fully-developed fungus with all its typical characteristics, flagellum, mycelium and spore formation.Besides the clarification of these morphological phenomena, Enderlein succeeded in identifying the most important vertebrate (but not invertebrate!) symbiont as Mucor racemosus Fresen 1870 in all of its stages from virus to fungus. In the Chondrit stage (see above), it lives as a physiological and innocuous -- probably in fact even useful -- symbiont in the blood and tissue of healthy people.
However, as soon as the biochemical equilibrium changes, the Chondrits ascend to the higher phases or valences and in the process take on pathogenic characteristics. This applies to all civilization-induced diseases, particularly cancer. One can thus designate it as "obligate Mucor parasitism".Retrograde development from higher to lower valences also takes place exclusively via the sexual route by means of nuclear fusion among Chondrits present in sufficient number. This process is blocked in sick persons.
To this end, Enderlein developed Chondritin, with which a chain-reaction-like retrograde development of the pathogenic valences is set into motion. Dealing with the resulting mass of Protits is furthered with the aid of a serum derived from rabbits injected with higher valences and Protits.The hematological changes associated with phasal and virulence increase manifest themselves -- aside from the rise in pH -- in increased (up to 100%) infestation both of erythrocytes and neutrophilic leukocytes as well as plasma with higher-valence Endobionts which present themselves to the eye morphologically as Symprotits, Symplasts, Basits, Ascits, etc.
The erythrocytes, normally the storage depot of dormant symbionts, often take on the so-called burr-cell form, which the orthodox medical laboratories don't know what to do with. These are the microelements, appearing everywhere and active in full virulence. Some of these developmental stages are illustrated in the excellent photomicrographic reproductions in the two discussed books by Bleker and Haring (p. 15ff).
The anemia which often accompanies preliminary and early stages of malignancies is likewise explainable along these lines. The alert observer will not miss the phantom corpuscles, which only appear in the darkfield and which signalize the progressive Endobiont virulence which drives the destructive process. Now, it must be kept in mind that certain stages of this blood infestation can also appear in cases of other chronic and consumptive diseases, i.e. not just cancer and pre-cancerous processes, for example PcP, Hepatitis, MS, radiation and chemotherapy damage, focal diseases (especially in the teeth) etc. With a balanced alkaline diet, cleansing, holistic change therapy and sensible use of Enderlein preparations, these conditions -- even in cases of incipient or early-stage malignancies -- can often be halted or rolled back.
In 1932, Enderlein discovered the second facultative pathogen (unlike the Mucor symbiosis, however, not physiologically endobiotic), the black-spored mold Aspergillus niger van Tieghen, which, in its entire polymorphism and phase-dependent pathology, is the tuberculosis germ. Fontes (1910) provided the proof of this by transmitting the disease by means of bacterium-free filtrates.
The Chondrit and Basit phases give rise to clinical pictures in man which were given all sorts of names by Enderlein's contemporaries -- such as scrofula, lymphatism, camouflaged tuberculosis (Patromikolas), masked tuberculosis (Willy Bircher), certain rheumatic forms (Poncet), tuberculotoxicosis and paratuberculosis.
These also include Much's granules and Spengler's fragments. Other researchers have dedicated themselves to the therapeutic exploitation of these phenomena; these include Pirquet, Ponndorf and the above-mentioned Spengler (see 1902).The Basit, Linit and Ascit stages of Aspergillus are the short and long rod forms of Sclerothrix tuberculosis Koch 1882, solid and not acid-resistant, whose culturing in all phases from s on up to the spore-forming Aspergillus is described accurately by Enderlein.
For therapizing tubercular and pretubercular diseases, Enderlein recommended various preparations, each available in various strengths, which can be administered subcutaneously, intramuscularly or orally, depending on the clinical picture:
1. Stabilized -- i.e. apathogenic -- Aspergillus or tuberculosis Chondritin with mode of action as described for the Endobiont's Chondritin.
1. Stabilized -- i.e. apathogenic -- Aspergillus or tuberculosis Chondritin with mode of action as described for the Endobiont's Chondritin.
2. The caretta Chondritin as cycle phase of the culturing of Sclerothrix antituberculosis Friedmann 1920, the agent of tuberculosis in the sea turtle Thalassochelis caretta. It is not pathogenic to man, but instead has a therapeutic effect like a homeopathic nosode in cases of human tuberculosis. Friedrich Franz Friedmann, who had to endure many attacks and much defamation in his life, deserves our thanks for his research and development of this therapeutic agent, which has fallen into obscurity only because of the chemotherapeutic treatment of tuberculosis.
3. The vaccines of Sclerothrix tuberculosis Koch, containing higher valences than the Chondritin.
4. The sea turtle tuberculosis vaccine, acid-resistant and non-acid-resistant.
5. The tuberculosis sera of rabbits that have been immunized against Sclerothrix tuberculosis Koch. Mode of action as per the Endobiont sera.
6. For all diseases which are, simultaneously or serially, of an Endobiontic or tuberculous nature, the Pliogen-Chondritin consisting of Mucor and Aspergillus Chondrites.
All of the isopathic preparations developed by Enderlein were produced under his personal supervision in his laboratory in Hamburg/Aumühle until shortly before his death. In 1975, the firm of SANUM-Kehlbeck (Hoya) acquired the production license and took over the business. The old, instructive preparation names were changed and many new agents (not from Enderlein) were added. Information and pertinent literature can be requested from the above-named company or from the associated publishing arm, Semmelweis Verlag.Besides these preliminary research results and their therapeutic consequences for the Mucor and Aspergillus cycles, Enderlein published, after 1937, his ideas concerning the cancer-specific or carcinogenic properties of the higher developmental stages of the Mucor Endobiont.
His argument is structured as follows:
1. Human blood is not sterile, as had been previously assumed, but rather harbors in all cases a minuscule parasite. It had not been discovered previously because it exists there primarily in an unusual and hitherto not described form, namely in the submicroscopic Protit stage. This most primitive developmental stage is of the same size order as viruses, which, according to Enderlein, are likewise to be ascribed to the species-specific cycle.

This most primitive developmental stage is of the same size order as viruses, which, according to Enderlein, are likewise to be ascribed to the species-specific cycle.
The apparent sterility of standard blood cultures is explained by the fact that these stages in their parasitical property can only be cultured with great difficulty on artificial culture media, and only develop very slowly and poorly. However, sterilely drawn and incubated blood, or simply in blood maintained at room temperature, develops lively growth after a few weeks.
2. The parasite's life in the erythrocytes can be detected in fresh blood through its germination into free Chondrits or Symprotits in blood serum.
3. The relationship of the infection of the erythrocytes to cancer turns out to depend on the following factors:
a. Number of infected erythrocytes and phantom corpuscles;
b. Number of parasites in each infected erythrocyte;
c. Dynamovalence or size of the erythrocyte inclusions.
4. The bacterial form in the blood demonstrates, by its lively mobility, its existence as a special life-form in native preparation.
5. Free and enclosed (in nucleus or cell plasma) Symprotits and Symprotit barbells can also be found in the tumor, usually in enormous numbers.
6. Bacterial rods are also found -- although seldom -- growing out of the tumor cells.
7. Higher bacterial structural forms such as Cystits, Thecits, etc. can also be culturally obtained in blood (or nutrient glucose broth, etc.) and are massively present in tumors, either free or in cell bodies.
8. In sectioned tumors, one finds the highest forms observed in the human body of the parasite's developmental series, namely as fungal mycelium (Developmental History of the Bacteria [Entwicklungsgeschichte der Bakterien], Vol. 1 Number 3).

Enderlein included an aphorism of Lao-Tse's in some of his studies, which applies precisely to the Bacterial Cyclogeny he created: "When things have unfolded to their fullest development, they always return to their roots."

All together, they number over 500, of which 377 cover entomological topics in the years 1891 to 1942 -- we can here mention only those which are concerned with Endobiosis research and bacterial polymorphism. A complete listing of these, as well as of the contributions of other authors on the same topic, was put out in the sixties by the AKMON Verlag, at that time situated in Aumühle near Hamburg. In addition, we would like to call attention to the reprints listed here of some of Enderlein's and other pertinent publications, published by the Semmelweis Verlag in Hoya.

Fibrinogen Strongly Increases the Risk of Cardiac Infarction
©Copyright 2001 by The Enderlein Group
Therapy Extensions According to Enderlein Avoid Dangers
For cardiac infarction, fibrinogen as an early stage of fibrin increases risks more than cholesterol. This information comes as a result of some prospective studies, according to medical statements released by a University Clinic in Duesseldorf at the occasion of a workshop held in Hamburg. One of these studies is the epidemiological Northwick Park Heart Study on 800 men and another is the German Procam Study. According to these examinations, a raised cholesterol content with a low fibrinogen content would not increase the cardiovascular risk.Contrastingly, a high fibrinogen content of the blood creates high blood viscosity and, consequently, the microcirculation gets strongly curtailed, even coming to a standstill. According to the explanations of the speaker, Dr. Matthias Leschke, however, there exists a correlation: the higher the Cholesterol content of the blood, the higher is usually also the content of fibrinogen, as the Framingham Study seems to indicate. A high content in Fibrinogen, along with high systolic blood pressure also appears to raise the risk of cardiac infarction.Prophylactically, a healthy lifestyle and nutrition is recommended, including daily physical exercises. Especially emphasized along this line is a vegetarian food regimen, that is to say, nutrition that avoids animal proteins. Also pointed out are disturbance factors due to long-continued intake of contraceptives, which have proven themselves as a stressful condition for the blood in many cases. Finally triglycerides also are a significant disturbance factor for the blood. They have always played a major role in fat metabolism and its therapy.Unfortunately the Hamburg workshop, when all these statements and references were given, hardly revealed anything about the deeper causes concerning the relevant processes in the blood. Professor Günther Enderlein has published many years ago his research results and proofs concerning these deeper causalities. The incomprehensible ignorance of the ruling medical orthodoxy toward these repeatedly certified facts through decades past has assuredly contributed in a primary way to numerous people not having received causally connected healing treatments by trusting themselves to that medicine.Differing from the conceptions of dogmatic medicine, Professor Enderlein has always seen a damagingly-raised formation of fibrinogen in the blood as a manifestation of the pathogenic Endobiosis, in which the Endobiont has already cyclogenetically reached a developmental stage beyond the Chondrit Stage. He also interpreted fibrin as a high-valenced form of the Chondrit. A relatively small excess of animal proteins for a prolonged period of time in one's nutrition causes an increase in the stress-producing Endobionts; the body tries to protect itself from these through the formation of fibrin. From this result whole varicose syndromes. In any case, let it be clearly known that fibrin formation in the blood is a function within the Endobiosis cycle. This can also be found in the early Isopathic-Homeopathic writings, which emphasize this fact.From this significant knowledge, the therapy according to the prescription of Professor Dr. Enderlein, which we may see as a causally-related healing therapy, is derived. With this healing treatment based on the Endobiosis, which is denied by medical dogmatism to this day, a worthwhile life has already been regained for an immense number of human beings. The Isopathic-Homeopathic preparation PleoMuc constitutes the central healing factor in this treatment, above all other remedies. Experienced biological therapists have long known PleoMuc as a highly effective blood thinner on a biological basis. Generally, PleoMuc can be considered as a basic therapeutic remedy, because many additional disease profiles are based on congestive conditions, which follow subsequent to pathologically raised levels of blood viscosity. A therapy with this Isopathic-Homeopathic preparation, however, does not remove the necessity for discontinuing errors in lifestyle and nutrition for the purpose of lasting success.

On A Competitive Balance Within the Endobiont

Introduction
This article will explore a radical approach to science and medicine. Though hardly known in North America, the practical applications of these matters have been current in Europe alternative medicine circles for decades. Whether this most intriguing of alternatives will gain a toehold in our society is an enigma. Watch it unfold! The clinical harvest may be large, scientific challenges enormous. As you will see from what follows, dear reader, the affront is threefold:The intellectual front. The ideas of these methods challenge the very core of biological sciences, virtually all of them;The philosophical milieu challenges not only the primacy of man in the universe but his very identity. Less of a challenge, although still important; Clinical decisions about these matters fall into the realm of the Hippocratic approach rather than the Platonic. This is a political counter-trend as has been discussed before.So let us set to. First, the reader will find an inventory of some of the basic concepts which will need to be demolished for this odyssey. Second there is an outline of the new concepts. Please remember, however, this is a popular article, not a textbook or a treatise. Accordingly, you will only find introductions to ideas and references. The rest is up to you.
Linear Identity
Man has sought the philosopher's stone, longevity, since time immemorial to preserve the conscious identity which makes up the essence of each of us. The idea was captured by Descartes in the phrase, I think, therefore I am ¹, or with Ayn Rand's succinct definition of man as a rational animal ², ³. The I fails ultimately because of individual mortality. After the grief of mortality we characteristically take solace in our progeny. However, not every son takes over where his father left off, so we embrace a broader family -- the tribe, the race, the nation, perhaps even our whole civilization. In our case we call it Western civilization. The ego's last defense is in the whole of the human species itself, in perpetuity. The dialectic where we should draw the line in this safety net for our ego, for our sense of identity, is the grist which operates the mill of social affairs and of spoken politics and history. It can be seen, therefore, that the psychological need for the concept of uniqueness of our species is diacritical for this pride, whether individual or collective. In contradiction, the theory of the life within, the endobiont of Professor Günther Enderlein, is predicated on accepting that our very organism is one of symbiosis.
Evolution
The Darwinian notion of evolution being a combination of gradual change of species on this planet through the mechanism of survival of the fittest has been challenged &sup4;. If the human, however, is a symbiosis of the genetic lineage of more than one organism, would we postulate an evolutionary duet down the millennia, nay, for millions of years? Incredible!
Life Cycles
Monomorphism is the concept that each species has one form. This is pretty much evident when looking at our own species or even at advanced examples of the plant kingdom. More "primitive" organisms, however, have multiple forms. We know, for instance, that the malaria parasite evolves through many stages, and several species, particularly parasites, have been described in which forms differ in their life cycles. In most cases life cycles are completed. In other instances the complete cycles are not mandatory -- that is to say, the organism can multiply in one form for prolonged periods. They proceed to what is usually called a sexual stage of multiplication only in propitious circumstances. The malaria parasite is the best example of this &sup5;. Science has recognized these cyclic phenomena, but they have not been fashionable models in recent years. In the case of bacteria and viruses, they have been denied. Our present odyssey calls for an acceptance of the concept of cycles. In addition, it posits that the host's internal environment influences growth and multiplication of the internal partner, the endobiont, as well as the sequence of its cyclic changes. The sequence is not necessarily unidirectional. What is meant by unidirectional? The example is the change of an insect's egg to a larva, thence to a cocoon, to an adult form, such as a butterfly, followed by sexual reproduction and the laying down of more eggs. Butterflies do not regress into the cocoon. The cycle is, therefore, unidirectional. Contrariwise, it is postulated that in certain circumstances the environment of micro-organisms can move an advanced form of an organism back to a more primitive one. In order not to confuse the concepts of ontological stages (larva, cocoon, butterfly, etc.) with this new one, the term valency has been introduced. The valency is recognized by its microscopic morphological complexity. Developmental and morphological valency is a new and difficult concept in microbiology.
Health and Disease
The allopathic concept of health is that a given state which is naturally preserved through the body's internal balance. Disease, on the other hand, is an invasion of this balance by an outside force, whether an injury, a metabolic defect, or an invading organism. (In Chinese medicine this is referred to as an External Pernicious Influence.) This contrasts with the homeopathic concept of health as one which is dependent on the inherent characteristics of the life concerned, and which can perhaps be modulated by subtle influences through harmonic stimuli, whether these be vibrational, through chemical imprinting or by other means &sup6;.
Isopathy
Isopathy is a term which refers to an adjustment in the balance between the symbiotic partners which constitute a life. The physician looks at the internal environment, the milieu, or bio-terrain as it is now called, through the microscope and with other means. The endobiont is coaxed into changing into a lower valency, the chondrit form. This is the essence of isopathic therapy.
Symbiosis
If you have been able to follow this essay, you will have come to realize that the term symbiosis is central to the discussion. Symbiosis is the cooperative joint living of two organisms for their mutual benefit in a form which is dependent on this interaction. Lichens are the most familiar example. Here, symbiosis exists between free-living bacteria and free fungal forms which in the lichen itself acquire a morphological form and exist in certain circumstances, such as adhering to rocks or tree bark, in a form which is quite different from the existence of each of the contributory organisms on their own. In fact, in the case of lichens the free-living fungi and bacteria are seldom seen alone, although it is possible to culture them and raise them in the experimental situation separately and even bring them together to re-form the lichen. Amazingly (and Oh, what a blow to the human ego!), it is suggested that our very existence constitutes such a symbiosis.
The Endobiont
So who, you will want to know, is the internal resident, this symbiontic partner? Before revealing this horrible secret, please be warned, dear reader, that the discoverer of the endobiont, an eminent German zoologist, has been maligned, his name virtually effaced from science for the very reason that he made this discovery. It is not a compliment to our ego. Contrary to what you might think or hope, science is not driven entirely by cold and indifferent logic. We have seen that revolutionary ideas have been subjected to long periods of suppression &sup7;. Well, here is the blow: The internal partner is a measly fungus. Günther Enderlein reported that he was able to culture a fungus by the name of Mucor racemosus (Fresen) from human blood. (The name Fresen refers to the individual who first described this organism, G. Fresen, a botanist, 1870.) This fungus has been found elsewhere, cultured, for instance, from mummified Egyptian pharaohs. But the fungus can be found in such mundane places as the crevices between the tiles of your bathroom where it is free living. The preposterous suggestion that this fungal organism is an internal partner to Homo sapiens was, you can see, not well received. An uncertain caveat to this is that Enderlein and subsequent researchers have attributed a similar relationship to several organisms, the fungus Aspergillus niger in particular. And so from our embarrassment of thinking that we have an unwelcome partner in our journey in the universe -- I am referring to our as that of our species -- we are now challenged with a whole zoo of internal creatures.
Monomorphism
Matters are becoming complicated because, in addition to the above challenges, Enderlein posited that the mini creatures in this zoo can change from one form (species) to another in certain circumstances. The terms viral, bacterial, and fungal refer, therefore, to phases or valencies as well as to species. Here we have a conceptual synthesis between the ablation of the concept of monomorphism and the introduction of the concept of cyclic changes between valencies. This paradigm shift is anathema to microbiology since Robert Koch8 initially defined the parameters we now take for gospel. This subject is delineated in Günther Enderlein's book Bakterien Cyclogenie9, and in his major work AKMON10.
Intellectual Shock
To take stock, then, of the intellectual shocks just applied to received opinion we might pen the following list:
· Species aren't necessarily species but symbioses.
· Phenotypes are not really an expression of genetics of one species but a composite.
· Life forms change in a sequel and the forms may cycle backwards at times.
· The concept of specificity in genetic coding for a species needs to be reassessed if the form and function are predicated on symbiosis.
· The whole business of evolution and Darwinism is untenable with this biological framework.
· A new category of disease is introduced. This is an imbalance between the symbiotic partners. This concept of disease is nothing short of revolutionary.
· By analogy: Copernicus challenged the centrality of planet earth and the solar system and Darwin the place of man on earth in God's image. How much larger is Günther Enderlein's blow to the ego of man based on this little list of paradigm shifts?
Dark Field Microscopy
If you have stayed with me thus far, dear reader, you are amongst the brave. Not only have I led you through an Alice-in-Wonderland maze of paradigm shifts, but I have so far not offered you a single reason to stay with me on this odyssey. But here it is. Look and you can see it! The amazing thing is that Günther Enderlein's work, theory and explanation is simply visible to the eye of the microscopist. Dark field microscopy was invented in 1837. Enderlein was a zoologist and makeshift clinician during the First World War. It fell to him, therefore, to combine clinical observation in the war theater with his knowledge of zoology, which was formed in a period before the conformity of the modern era, a time when essential ideas in science, those of Béchamps, Pasteur, Koch and Bernard were still alive, competing and not yet relegated to their definitive slots of winner and loser. Some of these issues have been addressed elsewhere11. And so, Seeing is believing. When Günther Enderlein started studying dark field microscopy he observed in living mammalian blood (of course, including human blood) the appearances of bacteria, branching, growing structures akin to the mycelia of fungi, let alone the appearance of moving, directed particles within the living blood, both in cells and the plasma. Platelets seemed to play an important role in this pantheon, in the new zoo. By watching and classifying changes under the microscope, he discovered that the endobiontic changes anticipated disease. A match was found between the initial microscopic appearances and the rate of change, on the one hand, and prognosis and category of disease on the other.We see, therefore, that in addition to prognosis, an impression can be formed of the likely disease category a person might suffer from. The forms visible under the microscope do not reach the highest potential valency of the internal partners, the endobiont, and, therefore, diagnosis of endobiontic species cannot be made microscopically. (Therefore, I comment on disease category, not diagnosis). However, assessments of valency, rate of change, endobiontic load, and observations about the internal milieu can indeed be made (and very usefully) with dark field microscopy. Herein lies the therapeutic potential.
Empiricism
The quintessence of the empiric method is a reliance on the scientist's observation. As scientists, we observe all kinds of things directly and indirectly in our experimental methods. But here we have a method of direct observation with the microscope. With suitable instrumentation and setting, anyone can see the changes for himself. What a paradox it is, then, that the profession of pathology, those doctors trained in the job of microscopic inspection and diagnosis, almost uniformly deny this whole scenario. The moving parts under the microscope are dismissed as Brownian movement (the true but random jiggling of tiny particles as the result of molecular interactions in fluids) or the extraneous invasion of the medium with bacteria from the air (not only could bacteria not grow fast enough for the changes we observe, but the patterns we observe in dark field microscopy matching health and disease, as outlined above, would hardly occur if the appearance were due to a random contamination from the air). Perhaps the aphorism, seeing is believing, should be reversed to, Believing is seeing! Because in this case the establishment will not acknowledge what is plain to the eye because of their beliefs. Before I become too hoity-toity in my condemnation of the establishment, one should interject that the threshold of belief was painful for this writer too. He feels nothing but sympathy for the disbelievers because these observations are so contrary to our imprinted scientistic (pseudo-scientific) belief system.
The Use of Hypothesis
So why, you might ask, embark on this antiestablishmentarian odyssey? The reason is simple. A doctor is in quest of the therapeutic yield. Perhaps this theoretical framework will lead to the management of ill health with new and effective methods. Some are destined to journey in quest of the golden fleece. We should remind ourselves that in our scientific tradition, hypothesis is a tool for a practical outcome. Each hypothesis is valuable only if it yields useful information. Karl Popper¹2; has defined these things for us.
Salvation
Günther Enderlein was so great a scientist that he drew the logical clinical conclusion from his zoological observations and developed a method for growing low valency Mucor and subsequently low valency forms of the alternate form of endobionts titled with the names of other species, such, for instance, as Aspergillus niger, in pure culture forms. These have been reduced to their essential protein moieties and are available as remedies from a company in Hoya, Germany, now called Sanum Kehlbeck. These remedies have been in use in Europe for about half a century with increasing degrees of sophistication, skill and therapeutic outcome. The intellectual divide between the Germanic lands and our own has been so wide that these marvelous remedies have barely penetrated into America and even the scientific knowledge about them has remained sub rosa. We owe, therefore, to the intellectual enthusiasm of a few English writers and enthusiasts, sometimes based on personal tragedies and salvation, that any information has become available. The battle (and seemingly a battle it was indeed) to introduce these remedies legally via the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of our government has just recently been concluded. We can, therefore, cash in on the dedication of these pioneers and bring some of these remedies to bear on our illnesses here at home. This writer is proud to support the introduction of the Sanum remedies to North America, even, if the quest for better health is a little like Jason's quest for the golden fleece. Symbolically, I see in Scylla the platonic socialist totalitarian snatching sailors from my boat and in Charybdis an intellectual vortex vacuuming out contrarian scientific paradigms.
Insurance
It goes without saying that Isopathic (Sanum) remedies are not insured benefits under Medicare or any known North American insurance. Individuals who choose practitioners using these methods fall into the category of self-reliant people who take responsibility for themselves. This is the ultimate in alternatives because of the scientific challenges.
Further Reading
Hidden Killers by Enby, Gosch and Sheehan is a paperback¹3; which tells much more of the tale. Explore! magazine also carries many articles on this subject. Readers who are not already subscribers will wish to join the ranks of regular adherents in order to stay in touch. Purchase the book, imbibe from it, and then if you are interested in help, consider asking for this approach to your health. It is not "the standard of care" for your doctor to initiate isopathic treatment in America at present. But then, of course, anything that is not done by the majority is not the standard of care. Here is an example of conformism through consensus.

In order not to confuse the concepts of ontological stages (larva, cocoon, butterfly, etc.) with this new one, the term valency has been introduced. The valency is recognized by its microscopic morphological complexity. Developmental and morphological valency is a new and difficult concept in microbiology.
Health and Disease
The allopathic concept of health is that a given state which is naturally preserved through the body's internal balance. Disease, on the other hand, is an invasion of this balance by an outside force, whether an injury, a metabolic defect, or an invading organism. (In Chinese medicine this is referred to as an External Pernicious Influence.) This contrasts with the homeopathic concept of health as one which is dependent on the inherent characteristics of the life concerned, and which can perhaps be modulated by subtle influences through harmonic stimuli, whether these be vibrational, through chemical imprinting or by other means &sup6;.
Isopathy
Isopathy is a term which refers to an adjustment in the balance between the symbiotic partners which constitute a life. The physician looks at the internal environment, the milieu, or bio-terrain as it is now called, through the microscope and with other means. The endobiont is coaxed into changing into a lower valency, the chondrit form. This is the essence of isopathic therapy.
Symbiosis
If you have been able to follow this essay, you will have come to realize that the term symbiosis is central to the discussion. Symbiosis is the cooperative joint living of two organisms for their mutual benefit in a form which is dependent on this interaction. Lichens are the most familiar example. Here, symbiosis exists between free-living bacteria and free fungal forms which in the lichen itself acquire a morphological form and exist in certain circumstances, such as adhering to rocks or tree bark, in a form which is quite different from the existence of each of the contributory organisms on their own. In fact, in the case of lichens the free-living fungi and bacteria are seldom seen alone, although it is possible to culture them and raise them in the experimental situation separately and even bring them together to re-form the lichen. Amazingly (and Oh, what a blow to the human ego!), it is suggested that our very existence constitutes such a symbiosis.
The Endobiont
So who, you will want to know, is the internal resident, this symbiontic partner? Before revealing this horrible secret, please be warned, dear reader, that the discoverer of the endobiont, an eminent German zoologist, has been maligned, his name virtually effaced from science for the very reason that he made this discovery. It is not a compliment to our ego. Contrary to what you might think or hope, science is not driven entirely by cold and indifferent logic. We have seen that revolutionary ideas have been subjected to long periods of suppression &sup7;. Well, here is the blow: The internal partner is a measly fungus. Günther Enderlein reported that he was able to culture a fungus by the name of Mucor racemosus (Fresen) from human blood. (The name Fresen refers to the individual who first described this organism, G. Fresen, a botanist, 1870.) This fungus has been found elsewhere, cultured, for instance, from mummified Egyptian pharaohs. But the fungus can be found in such mundane places as the crevices between the tiles of your bathroom where it is free living. The preposterous suggestion that this fungal organism is an internal partner to Homo sapiens was, you can see, not well received. An uncertain caveat to this is that Enderlein and subsequent researchers have attributed a similar relationship to several organisms, the fungus Aspergillus niger in particular. And so from our embarrassment of thinking that we have an unwelcome partner in our journey in the universe -- I am referring to our as that of our species -- we are now challenged with a whole zoo of internal creatures.
Monomorphism
Matters are becoming complicated because, in addition to the above challenges, Enderlein posited that the mini creatures in this zoo can change from one form (species) to another in certain circumstances. The terms viral, bacterial, and fungal refer, therefore, to phases or valencies as well as to species. Here we have a conceptual synthesis between the ablation of the concept of monomorphism and the introduction of the concept of cyclic changes between valencies. This paradigm shift is anathema to microbiology since Robert Koch8 initially defined the parameters we now take for gospel. This subject is delineated in Günther Enderlein's book Bakterien Cyclogenie9, and in his major work AKMON10.
Intellectual Shock
To take stock, then, of the intellectual shocks just applied to received opinion we might pen the following list:
· Species aren't necessarily species but symbioses.
· Phenotypes are not really an expression of genetics of one species but a composite.
· Life forms change in a sequel and the forms may cycle backwards at times.
· The concept of specificity in genetic coding for a species needs to be reassessed if the form and function are predicated on symbiosis.
· The whole business of evolution and Darwinism is untenable with this biological framework.
· A new category of disease is introduced. This is an imbalance between the symbiotic partners. This concept of disease is nothing short of revolutionary.
· By analogy: Copernicus challenged the centrality of planet earth and the solar system and Darwin the place of man on earth in God's image. How much larger is Günther Enderlein's blow to the ego of man based on this little list of paradigm shifts?
Dark Field Microscopy
If you have stayed with me thus far, dear reader, you are amongst the brave. Not only have I led you through an Alice-in-Wonderland maze of paradigm shifts, but I have so far not offered you a single reason to stay with me on this odyssey. But here it is. Look and you can see it! The amazing thing is that Günther Enderlein's work, theory and explanation is simply visible to the eye of the microscopist. Dark field microscopy was invented in 1837. Enderlein was a zoologist and makeshift clinician during the First World War. It fell to him, therefore, to combine clinical observation in the war theater with his knowledge of zoology, which was formed in a period before the conformity of the modern era, a time when essential ideas in science, those of Béchamps, Pasteur, Koch and Bernard were still alive, competing and not yet relegated to their definitive slots of winner and loser. Some of these issues have been addressed elsewhere11. And so, Seeing is believing. When Günther Enderlein started studying dark field microscopy he observed in living mammalian blood (of course, including human blood) the appearances of bacteria, branching, growing structures akin to the mycelia of fungi, let alone the appearance of moving, directed particles within the living blood, both in cells and the plasma. Platelets seemed to play an important role in this pantheon, in the new zoo. By watching and classifying changes under the microscope, he discovered that the endobiontic changes anticipated disease. A match was found between the initial microscopic appearances and the rate of change, on the one hand, and prognosis and category of disease on the other.We see, therefore, that in addition to prognosis, an impression can be formed of the likely disease category a person might suffer from. The forms visible under the microscope do not reach the highest potential valency of the internal partners, the endobiont, and, therefore, diagnosis of endobiontic species cannot be made microscopically. (Therefore, I comment on disease category, not diagnosis). However, assessments of valency, rate of change, endobiontic load, and observations about the internal milieu can indeed be made (and very usefully) with dark field microscopy. Herein lies the therapeutic potential.
Empiricism
The quintessence of the empiric method is a reliance on the scientist's observation. As scientists, we observe all kinds of things directly and indirectly in our experimental methods. But here we have a method of direct observation with the microscope. With suitable instrumentation and setting, anyone can see the changes for himself. What a paradox it is, then, that the profession of pathology, those doctors trained in the job of microscopic inspection and diagnosis, almost uniformly deny this whole scenario. The moving parts under the microscope are dismissed as Brownian movement (the true but random jiggling of tiny particles as the result of molecular interactions in fluids) or the extraneous invasion of the medium with bacteria from the air (not only could bacteria not grow fast enough for the changes we observe, but the patterns we observe in dark field microscopy matching health and disease, as outlined above, would hardly occur if the appearance were due to a random contamination from the air). Perhaps the aphorism, seeing is believing, should be reversed to, Believing is seeing! Because in this case the establishment will not acknowledge what is plain to the eye because of their beliefs. Before I become too hoity-toity in my condemnation of the establishment, one should interject that the threshold of belief was painful for this writer too. He feels nothing but sympathy for the disbelievers because these observations are so contrary to our imprinted scientistic (pseudo-scientific) belief system.
The Use of Hypothesis
So why, you might ask, embark on this antiestablishmentarian odyssey? The reason is simple. A doctor is in quest of the therapeutic yield. Perhaps this theoretical framework will lead to the management of ill health with new and effective methods. Some are destined to journey in quest of the golden fleece. We should remind ourselves that in our scientific tradition, hypothesis is a tool for a practical outcome. Each hypothesis is valuable only if it yields useful information. Karl Popper¹2; has defined these things for us.
Salvation
Günther Enderlein was so great a scientist that he drew the logical clinical conclusion from his zoological observations and developed a method for growing low valency Mucor and subsequently low valency forms of the alternate form of endobionts titled with the names of other species, such, for instance, as Aspergillus niger, in pure culture forms. These have been reduced to their essential protein moieties and are available as remedies from a company in Hoya, Germany, now called Sanum Kehlbeck. These remedies have been in use in Europe for about half a century with increasing degrees of sophistication, skill and therapeutic outcome. The intellectual divide between the Germanic lands and our own has been so wide that these marvelous remedies have barely penetrated into America and even the scientific knowledge about them has remained sub rosa. We owe, therefore, to the intellectual enthusiasm of a few English writers and enthusiasts, sometimes based on personal tragedies and salvation, that any information has become available. The battle (and seemingly a battle it was indeed) to introduce these remedies legally via the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of our government has just recently been concluded. We can, therefore, cash in on the dedication of these pioneers and bring some of these remedies to bear on our illnesses here at home. This writer is proud to support the introduction of the Sanum remedies to North America, even, if the quest for better health is a little like Jason's quest for the golden fleece. Symbolically, I see in Scylla the platonic socialist totalitarian snatching sailors from my boat and in Charybdis an intellectual vortex vacuuming out contrarian scientific paradigms.
Insurance
It goes without saying that Isopathic (Sanum) remedies are not insured benefits under Medicare or any known North American insurance. Individuals who choose practitioners using these methods fall into the category of self-reliant people who take responsibility for themselves. This is the ultimate in alternatives because of the scientific challenges.
Further Reading
Hidden Killers by Enby, Gosch and Sheehan is a paperback¹3; which tells much more of the tale. Explore! magazine also carries many articles on this subject. Readers who are not already subscribers will wish to join the ranks of regular adherents in order to stay in touch. Purchase the book, imbibe from it, and then if you are interested in help, consider asking for this approach to your health. It is not "the standard of care" for your doctor to initiate isopathic treatment in America at present. But then, of course, anything that is not done by the majority is not the standard of care. Here is an example of conformism through consensus.

Cystit
Pseudostreptus pyogenes (Rosenb. 1884) Example from a 2-day culture. Enl. 1:5000
In the genus Pseudostreptus, the diameter of the Cystit increases up above 8 µ. Here, also, the Cystit can become isolated and appears, then, as a perfect giant ball. The Mych and Symmychon appear to be very small in this species.In the diphtheria pathogen and its numerous kin, the Cystit do not get expelled. In more mature examples, one usually finds on each end of the Syndimychit rod a Telocystit. In some species, there also occur Ascocystit, which prevail in the genus Heterocystia.

Comparative Morphology is the Foundation of All Biology
Introduction
The trend of ideas of the last few decades has led to--especially in bacteriology--a certain disparity between physiological/biological research and comparative morphology. Comparative morphology was regarded by many parties more and more as a minor matter, believing that its demotion represented an achievement favoring biology, although it is in actuality the very foundation of biology, and the source of all phylogenetic, ontogenetic and systematic knowledge of nature. The recognition of the rhythmic aspect of all organic processes is the foundation of knowledge in this area of research as well.The basic conditions for a morphological evolutionary investigation is the organic continuity of successive developmental conditions. During the course of systematic morphological studies of bacteria, I was forced to conclude that the practical side of bacteriology in particular in no way corresponded to these basic conditions, and indeed rested on a foundation that totally contradicted the actual situation. The main foci of this erroneous trend in knowledge can be indicated with three words: Monomorphism, Mutation Theory, MonocytismThe following treatment attempts to structure bacteriology on the basis of comparative morphological principles. That this attempt has met with some success can be seen in the results, which by no means lie in the theoretical sphere, but are in fact of a comparative morphological nature, while yet seeming to be suited to serve to orient entire areas of individual biological and physiological facts.It is difficult, in light of the varying interpretations of the enormous amount of observational material, to do justice to all requirements. Therefore, this work is recommended to the specialist's goodwill. In drawing up this sketch--it could not be otherwise, considering the scope of this area of endeavor--the main goals had always to be kept in mind as setting the course, so that many points may have possibly gotten short shrift. All of this is left to later additions and the checking-up of specialized research. Tips, from whatever quarter they may come, will always be gratefully welcomed by me.May a new comparative, morphologically clarified Pleomorphism arise from the dust of past decades, driving mutation theory and monocytism out of bacteriology and setting Cyclogeny and Pleocytism in its place, so that bacteriology can exit the province of theoretical explanation attempts and enter a state of absolute biological/morphological knowledge.Comparative morphologically sharply delineated concepts, so necessary for any clear discussion, elevate bacteriology to a comparative morphological discipline. The very nature of the task has made necessary the creation of an entire series of new terms, which might of course discourage many from trying to delve into this material. But the nature of recognized concepts crystallizes out as name. Without a precise comparative/morphological nomenclature, it is impossible to arrive at a clear conception of an organism's basic nature. Even biological concepts such as Mochlosis--for which a final clarification and insight was not possible--are fixed by naming, and one can then deal with them. "For it is just when terms are lacking that the right word comes along at the right time."Yet even this initially theoretical and vague-seeming concept of Mochlosis has over time become more clearly defined in my conception, and its comparative parallelism with Meloë's life-course--which I make reference to in the introductory pages of Chapter VII (Classification) in a much later entry--has completely swept away any remaining reservations and, even for this concept, dropped the theoretical remnants.Just as this nomenclature developed with progressive knowledge and was recognized as indispensable to a full understanding, so too will anyone who penetrates to a full understanding of Cyclogeny be convinced of its necessity. The structure of this nomenclature, which it has only been able to simplify once the work was completed, is thus carefully thought out and possesses largely organic relationships to its significance from a morphological and biological viewpoint, and is formed out of the synthesis of only a few words. To this end, the terms chosen for the morphological basic elements needed to be short words, monosyllabic wherever possible, so that the words compounded for morphologically complicated concepts would not get too long. So, for example, the term for the proto-nucleus is Mych (derived from to mucon = the innermost), and represents the starting-point for most of the compound concepts, whose derivation is usually recognizable at a glance. The instructions in Section XI explain the etymological structure.The essence of all sciences is the organization of the subject-matter, without which the overview that leads to deeper understanding is impossible. The main results are the following:
1. Finding the bacterial nucleus: Mych (proto-nucleus).
2. Establishing a comparative bacterial morphology.
3. Demonstrating the generality of Gonidie formation in all bacteria as the fundamental form of asexual fructification (Until now only established for some sheath bacteria--Crenothrix and some Spherotilides).
4. Demonstrating the sexual reproduction of bacteria.
5. Morphological demonstration of the Sporit (the so-called bacterial spore) as a small side-branch, a special form of Oit formation.
6. Establishing the Cyclogeny of bacteria and their diagnostic and therapeutic significance.
7. Establishing Mochlosis and Mochlolysis.
8. Demonstrating the cyclostatic moment of virulence and pathogenicity (Virulent stage).
9. As a practical result of the Cyclogenetic view, the polyetiological assessment of diphtheroid infections, regardless of whether found in the Basit, Phytit or Cystascit stage.

The Nature of the Biological Uniformity of the Bipolar Structure of all Chronic Diseases
By Professor Günther Enderlein, Aumühle/Hamburg Member of the Society for Freedom in Science at Oxford
"Who thinks he found it all aloneis dumber than the lowly stone."- J.W. von GoetheWhen, twenty millennia ago, the ancient Indians carried out the healing of all the chronic diseases - including cancer and tuberculosis - with the urine of the holy, beneficial cattle, this was not a forced illusion dictated by "slogans"; rather, it was (already) a tremendous insight, related in its basic features to natural instinct, whose origin arose from a purposeful activity of the most profound regions of the human brain, which - in the course of even more uncounted millennia before these primeval times - had ascended to this culmination of such logically substantiated actions; this stands head and shoulders above the "slogan dictatorship" of all subsequent (and presumably terminal) Epigones who, since Hippocrates (i.e. in the last 25 centuries, within the time-span of geological periods), have managed to reduce a full panoply of human-culture achievements right down to nothing. For these measures of those primeval cultures accord perfectly with the requirement of an individual researcher with cosmic mental ability right up at the edge of the sudden drop in defensive and mental ability against the bipolar primeval foe from the time of the very origin of all vertebrates, who said: "In order to really be able to heal the sick, one must restore what has been lost." In order words, a replacement of the missing part(s)! This man is the pharmacist Oesterlen, in his Handbuch der Arzneimittellehre [Pharmaceutical Handbook] 7th Ed. 1861, p. 3. And what substances are these, that had already been replaced at that time? Well, domesticated cattle, severely burdened with the Endobiont, the most fearsome part of the bipolar parasite structure - if nothing else, simply leukopathy, whose biologically/parasitologically oriented position in humans between cancer, Hodgkin's disease and Felty's syndrome has been established on the basis of my more thorough blood analysis - use up, as "vegetarian raw-food eaters", unheard-of defensive forces in order to keep at bay the threat to their existence from these primordial parasites. And the decomposition products - that freely leave the host body via the skin, bronchia, intestines and kidneys, since they are no longer interesting parasitically - are, in cattle too, apathogenic primitive phases of the Endobiont (Mucor racemosus Fresen), accordingly the lowest-valence Chondrit stages, as well as the following ultimate primitive forms of life, namely the colloids. These metabolites in turn represent precisely those forms that the endobiontically ailing vertebrate had lost in its illness as a result of being fattened up by being overfed with plant or - infinitely worse, animal - protein. It is exactly these factors that, in the endless eras of defensive struggling against this most fearsome permanent parasite of all vertebrates and man, symbolize the successes of the symbiotic achievement of this defensive struggle, since purely apathogenic functions were forced upon them by just this defensive struggle; for this reason, I gave them the name Regulators. From these four excretion possibilities, the Indians chose the urine of the holy, beneficial cattle. This urine therapy made its way to Europe during Medieval times, and has maintained itself down to the present - despite being relegated to the factors of the so-called "fecal pharmacists" - in part also as autologous urine therapy. Despite the fact that this seems completely justified by the stock of living colloids and very primitive Chondrit stages - and could perhaps even be rounded out by hitherto unknown factors - the therapy, using individually-shipped quantities of living colloids and very primitive Chondrits (in purest form) is, without a doubt, at the least considerably more hygienic. It is definitely understandable if the root cause of the chronic disease complex of the primordial parasite is shifted from a bipolar orientation of Endobiont (Mucor racemosus Fresen) and tuberculosis initiator in the primordial cultures' natural knowledge, over to dietary intake. If the objection is raised from the medical camp that the isopathy of the ancient Babylonians is out of the question for microbe-based diseases, since they had no microscopes, then the reply for the Endobiont itself can be that these important developmental phases of the Endobiont indeed are not visible in the microscope to this day. Vitamins deficiency is also not a causal, but rather at most a conditional factor. And then, when later Bircher-Brenner claims a special sensitivity to dietary toxins of the capillary region in the human body as a cause of chronic diseases, this is also merely a consequence of conditional factors that do not connect up with the root causes - since the root causes are and remain the two bipolarly-oriented and structured primordial parasites. After all, the so-called paracoli bacteria in the intestines are by no means degenerate coli bacteria, but rather bacilli from the Endobiont's metabolites, that form quite normally, even without treatment with living Chondritins, capable of probaenogenetic upward development in the intestinal tract, especially in cancer cases etc., from colloids and the most primitive Chondrit stages on up to the Phytit stage. As bacilli, these Endobiont Phytits are strikingly similar to the coli bacterium. Likewise, dystrophy is just a very small part of the conditional causes, since the primary conditional causes are essentially based in overfeeding with vegetable and animal proteins. Less in the over 1000 cancerogenic factors. Likewise, constitution plays a merely subordinate role, since the greater part of it is lost in the consequences (sequelae) of parasite overfeeding. This is very much the case for the tuberculosis portion of the bipolar structure of the primordial parasite, where also dystrophy is by no means a nonspecific basis and tuberculosis yields no sequelae - as Robert Koch and Edmund Ingber (Buenos Aires) maintain - but rather consequences of the primordial parasite's long-term parasitism, and in fact of the overfeeding of both primordial parasites. (Cf. E. Ingber: "Tuberkulose und Lebensordnung" [Tuberculosis and Lifestyle] in: Diaita, 1st year Vol. 1 1955, pp. 11Ð15.) All of these are the grotesque consequences of "monomorphism/monomorphology" slogans which are the basis for the inaccessibility of the essential nature of the chronic disease complex.
Here is a compilation of some of these "slogan factors":
1. The paracoli bacterium is not a degenerate coli bacterium, but rather the Phytit stage of the Endobiont.
2. The root cause of the infectiousness of filtrates of tubercular material is the tubercle bacillus' Chondrit stage; this was determined back in 1910 by Fontes of Brazil (Cf. Mem. Institut. Oswaldo Cruz, 1, 2, 1910, p. 186).
3. Furthermore, H. Dostal demonstrated the easy transportability of the tubercle bacillus in its coccal form (Basit stage) in liquid-nutrient cultures (cf. Wien. Medizin. Wochenschr. [Viennese Medical Weekly], 60th Year 1910, pp. 2098Ð2100, and 63rd Year 1913).
4. Fibrin is by no means a "protein coagulation" precipitate, but rather the Chondrit dendroid of the Endobiont.
5. Thrombocytes are not blood organelles (platelets); they are Thecits of the Endobiont.
6. Megakaryocytes (Metchnikov) are not normal cell components; rather, due to massive infestation with primitive-phase Endobionts, these cells have lost the ability to fission cell or nucleus. These cells have been forgotten in the studied concentration on the focal problem of cleansing in the marrow of all bones.
7. Polynuclear cell is related to the preceding, except that the nucleus is still capable fission, while the cell itself has lost the capability.
8. The megaloblasts of pernicious anemia are not nucleated erythrocytes, but rather erythrocytes having internal colonies of abnormally distended Endobiont Chondrits (pseudo-nucleus!).
9. Normoblasts, erythrocytes originating in bone marrow, have no nucleus, only a pseudo-nucleus consisting of an Endobiont Chondrit colony.
10. Macrocytes are abnormally enlarged erythrocytes with no pseudo-nucleus, whose enlargement is likewise due to massive infestation by the Chondrit stage of the Endobiont.
11. Peripheral granules of the erythrocytes are not organelles (Schilling), but rather Symprotits of the Endobiont.
12. Peripheral rods of the erythrocytes are not organelles (Schilling), but rather bacterial rods of the bacterial phase of the Endobiont that have developed out of the aforementioned peripheral granules. Later on, they break free and crawl about on the erythrocytes and leukocytes like inchworms (hence the designation "wormlets" by Health Officer Dr. Otto Schmidt of Munich).
13. Also, the globucellular and spindle-cell sarcomas contain no host globular or spindle cells; instead, these represent cross-sectioned (globular) cells and diagonally longitudinally-sectioned (spindle) cells from the mycelia of the Endobiont.
14. Reticulocytes (Heilmeyer) are not erythrocytes with special organelles, but erythrocytes internally infested with Endobiont Chondrit trees.
15. Leukocyte pseudopodia formation (dendrites) (after Bond, London 1924: The Leukocyte in Health and Disease, H. K. Lewis & Co.) actually represents Chondrit dendroids of the Endobiont - also identified as "fibrin" by the standard doctrine!
16. The sterility of human blood (in centrifugate and in filtrate). This doctrinal illusion actually represents a massive infestation of all blood elements of all vertebrates (including man) - even the healthiest - with primitive phases of the Endobiont, which infestation develops probaenogenetically on up to the bacterial and even fungal phases as a disease progresses.
17. The sterility of blood serum = the doctrinal illusion as to the contents of the serum as well in the most varied primitive phases of the Endobiont.
18. Diapedesis = the doctrinal illusion concerning the seizure of all protein reserves in the human body by the Endobiont immediately after death, and their formation into "fibrin".
19. The Culminante of the fungal form (Mucor racemosus Fresen) of the Endobiont is easy to obtain by culturing from tumors, as Health Officer Dr. Otto Schmidt of Munich demonstrated as far back as 1903 (and subsequently), and which I have been able to confirm personally.
20. The calcareous coats of the tubercular foci in the lungs are not host defensive processes, but rather manifestations of calcinosis, of the misdirected efforts of the parasite to protect itself from the defensive reactions of human blood.
And added to all this is the awareness, up through Hippocrates, that all the primeval cultures were based from their beginnings on a "true synthesis" of the chronic disease complex - which, although it falsely evaluated the conditional significance of poor diet as causal, nevertheless instinctively traced the unity of the actual root causes to a synthesis pointing to a single disease, namely humoral pathology. But by contrast, after Hippocrates, the illusion of differentiation led to a "pseudo-analysis", i.e. a misinterpretation of a differentiation to a thousand diseases. However, Babylon, Syria and India were able for centuries largely to avoid this mistake, so that the dietary errors that were interpreted as root causal - which of course actually represent conditional causes - they retained as the basis of their viewpoint, as has been maintained in this sense in India to the present, in its purest form among the Hunza tribes in the Karakorum range of northern India. Also, to what extent - coming from an entirely different discipline - is the possibility of a "truly instinctive world-view" taken into account? This from a document from the field of theology: "Now, it is entirely possible that the science of those ancient times already knew some things that our rational science has arrived at by a totally different route. One needs to consider that those ancients obtained their knowledge of the world in a completely different manner; in observing nature, they made use not only of pure reason, but also (in a certain sense) 'contemplative observation'. They were thus in possession of a sensory apparatus and had at their disposal meditative options that were perhaps superior in certain respects to our hyper-rational intellect." (Prof. D. Gerhard von Rad: "Die biblische Schöpfungsgeschichte" [The Biblical Story of Creation]. In: Schöpfungsglaube und Evolutionstheorie [Creationism and Evolutionary Theory]. 1955, p. 36. Alfred Kröner Verlag, Stuttgart.) Now, the unadulterated, unspoiled and slogan-free primeval instincts - as presented to us in the surviving ancient documents - have turned out to be superior in certain such aspects. But that, right down to the present day, the error of a lack of cosmic orientation in biological and comparative-morphological considerations still exists, inasmuch as a descent to the inmost basis of life is neglected when dealing with issues which necessitate a holistic viewpoint, is demonstrated in turn by the research into the "secrets of the germ cell" at the Max Planck Institute in Voldagsen/Hanover. On the basis of the involvement of the cytoplasm of certain plants in the so-called heredity factors, demonstrated by von Wettstein in 1924, who - unlike the genes of the cell nucleus, i.e. the Genome - designated as Plasmone the heredity factors in the cytoplasm. This was followed up by P. Michaelis, to the extent of attempting to find plants in order to make polynuclear crosses with cytoplasm of the other form. And with willow herb from all over the world, after 24 generations (= 24 years) he succeeded, and demonstrated that only the cytoplasm from the maternal cell solely inherits the maternal characteristics. Still, the question as to where in the cytoplasm the germ plasm was to be found could not be observed by this method. But this difficulty is not surprising, since these complications were only observed in isolated hermit cells, and not in highly-potentiated nationalized cellular organizations. Now, this hermit is the Mychit, the primordial cell of the bacteria. This also answers the difficult question, as explained in the article "Das Ende der Herrschaft der Zelle als letzte biologische Einheit" [The End of the Cell's Reign as the Ultimate Biological Unit] (G. Enderlein, in: Archiv für Entwicklungsgeschichte der Bakterien [Archive for the Developmental History of Bacteria], Year I Vol. 2, 2 July 1933, pp. 171Ð179, 5 Illus.) This article confirms, specifically for Microsphaera vaccinae Cohn 1872 (the smallpox pathogen) - through the genesis of the Symprotit to Mychit (the primordial cell) - that the spherical bacterial cell consists of various primitive phases of the microorganism, and hence represents a socialization of these primitive phases. For the very simplest bacterial cell (Mychit), the micrococcal sphere, the nucleus is then the Mych (primordial nucleus) and the plasma the Protitit stage, i.e. the Symprotit (Chondrit stage) and, in the ultimate unit, also the colloid, i.e. the Protit stage. Moreover, the spongiform arrangement is also bound up with it and thus clarified. The so-called "assimilated protein" of the cytoplasm turns out to be an illusion. Thus, one needs to begin at this basal level of phylogeny in order to be able to answer questions of this kind. W. Goethe's cosmic orientation, introduced at the beginning this chapter, also gives us an excellent conclusion for universal questions and issues - particularly, too, for the contrast between holistic knowledge and its collapse for two thousand years to the downfall of humankind of the Epigones: "Microscopes and telescopes actually confuse pure human understanding."J.W. von Goethe, Sprüche in Prosa. Ethisches [Prose Sayings. Ethical]. I, 37
"Who thinks he found it all aloneis dumber than the lowly stone."- J.W. von GoetheWhen, twenty millennia ago, the ancient Indians carried out the healing of all the chronic diseases - including cancer and tuberculosis - with the urine of the holy, beneficial cattle, this was not a forced illusion dictated by "slogans"; rather, it was (already) a tremendous insight, related in its basic features to natural instinct, whose origin arose from a purposeful activity of the most profound regions of the human brain, which - in the course of even more uncounted millennia before these primeval times - had ascended to this culmination of such logically substantiated actions; this stands head and shoulders above the "slogan dictatorship" of all subsequent (and presumably terminal) Epigones who, since Hippocrates (i.e. in the last 25 centuries, within the time-span of geological periods), have managed to reduce a full panoply of human-culture achievements right down to nothing. For these measures of those primeval cultures accord perfectly with the requirement of an individual researcher with cosmic mental ability right up at the edge of the sudden drop in defensive and mental ability against the bipolar primeval foe from the time of the very origin of all vertebrates, who said: "In order to really be able to heal the sick, one must restore what has been lost." In order words, a replacement of the missing part(s)! This man is the pharmacist Oesterlen, in his Handbuch der Arzneimittellehre [Pharmaceutical Handbook] 7th Ed. 1861, p. 3. And what substances are these, that had already been replaced at that time? Well, domesticated cattle, severely burdened with the Endobiont, the most fearsome part of the bipolar parasite structure - if nothing else, simply leukopathy, whose biologically/parasitologically oriented position in humans between cancer, Hodgkin's disease and Felty's syndrome has been established on the basis of my more thorough blood analysis - use up, as "vegetarian raw-food eaters", unheard-of defensive forces in order to keep at bay the threat to their existence from these primordial parasites. And the decomposition products - that freely leave the host body via the skin, bronchia, intestines and kidneys, since they are no longer interesting parasitically - are, in cattle too, apathogenic primitive phases of the Endobiont (Mucor racemosus Fresen), accordingly the lowest-valence Chondrit stages, as well as the following ultimate primitive forms of life, namely the colloids. These metabolites in turn represent precisely those forms that the endobiontically ailing vertebrate had lost in its illness as a result of being fattened up by being overfed with plant or - infinitely worse, animal - protein. It is exactly these factors that, in the endless eras of defensive struggling against this most fearsome permanent parasite of all vertebrates and man, symbolize the successes of the symbiotic achievement of this defensive struggle, since purely apathogenic functions were forced upon them by just this defensive struggle; for this reason, I gave them the name Regulators. From these four excretion possibilities, the Indians chose the urine of the holy, beneficial cattle. This urine therapy made its way to Europe during Medieval times, and has maintained itself down to the present - despite being relegated to the factors of the so-called "fecal pharmacists" - in part also as autologous urine therapy. Despite the fact that this seems completely justified by the stock of living colloids and very primitive Chondrit stages - and could perhaps even be rounded out by hitherto unknown factors - the therapy, using individually-shipped quantities of living colloids and very primitive Chondrits (in purest form) is, without a doubt, at the least considerably more hygienic. It is definitely understandable if the root cause of the chronic disease complex of the primordial parasite is shifted from a bipolar orientation of Endobiont (Mucor racemosus Fresen) and tuberculosis initiator in the primordial cultures' natural knowledge, over to dietary intake. If the objection is raised from the medical camp that the isopathy of the ancient Babylonians is out of the question for microbe-based diseases, since they had no microscopes, then the reply for the Endobiont itself can be that these important developmental phases of the Endobiont indeed are not visible in the microscope to this day. Vitamins deficiency is also not a causal, but rather at most a conditional factor. And then, when later Bircher-Brenner claims a special sensitivity to dietary toxins of the capillary region in the human body as a cause of chronic diseases, this is also merely a consequence of conditional factors that do not connect up with the root causes - since the root causes are and remain the two bipolarly-oriented and structured primordial parasites. After all, the so-called paracoli bacteria in the intestines are by no means degenerate coli bacteria, but rather bacilli from the Endobiont's metabolites, that form quite normally, even without treatment with living Chondritins, capable of probaenogenetic upward development in the intestinal tract, especially in cancer cases etc., from colloids and the most primitive Chondrit stages on up to the Phytit stage. As bacilli, these Endobiont Phytits are strikingly similar to the coli bacterium. Likewise, dystrophy is just a very small part of the conditional causes, since the primary conditional causes are essentially based in overfeeding with vegetable and animal proteins. Less in the over 1000 cancerogenic factors. Likewise, constitution plays a merely subordinate role, since the greater part of it is lost in the consequences (sequelae) of parasite overfeeding. This is very much the case for the tuberculosis portion of the bipolar structure of the primordial parasite, where also dystrophy is by no means a nonspecific basis and tuberculosis yields no sequelae - as Robert Koch and Edmund Ingber (Buenos Aires) maintain - but rather consequences of the primordial parasite's long-term parasitism, and in fact of the overfeeding of both primordial parasites. (Cf. E. Ingber: "Tuberkulose und Lebensordnung" [Tuberculosis and Lifestyle] in: Diaita, 1st year Vol. 1 1955, pp. 11Ð15.) All of these are the grotesque consequences of "monomorphism/monomorphology" slogans which are the basis for the inaccessibility of the essential nature of the chronic disease complex.
Here is a compilation of some of these "slogan factors":
1. The paracoli bacterium is not a degenerate coli bacterium, but rather the Phytit stage of the Endobiont.
2. The root cause of the infectiousness of filtrates of tubercular material is the tubercle bacillus' Chondrit stage; this was determined back in 1910 by Fontes of Brazil (Cf. Mem. Institut. Oswaldo Cruz, 1, 2, 1910, p. 186).
3. Furthermore, H. Dostal demonstrated the easy transportability of the tubercle bacillus in its coccal form (Basit stage) in liquid-nutrient cultures (cf. Wien. Medizin. Wochenschr. [Viennese Medical Weekly], 60th Year 1910, pp. 2098Ð2100, and 63rd Year 1913).
4. Fibrin is by no means a "protein coagulation" precipitate, but rather the Chondrit dendroid of the Endobiont.
5. Thrombocytes are not blood organelles (platelets); they are Thecits of the Endobiont.
6. Megakaryocytes (Metchnikov) are not normal cell components; rather, due to massive infestation with primitive-phase Endobionts, these cells have lost the ability to fission cell or nucleus. These cells have been forgotten in the studied concentration on the focal problem of cleansing in the marrow of all bones.
7. Polynuclear cell is related to the preceding, except that the nucleus is still capable fission, while the cell itself has lost the capability.
8. The megaloblasts of pernicious anemia are not nucleated erythrocytes, but rather erythrocytes having internal colonies of abnormally distended Endobiont Chondrits (pseudo-nucleus!).
9. Normoblasts, erythrocytes originating in bone marrow, have no nucleus, only a pseudo-nucleus consisting of an Endobiont Chondrit colony.
10. Macrocytes are abnormally enlarged erythrocytes with no pseudo-nucleus, whose enlargement is likewise due to massive infestation by the Chondrit stage of the Endobiont.
11. Peripheral granules of the erythrocytes are not organelles (Schilling), but rather Symprotits of the Endobiont.
12. Peripheral rods of the erythrocytes are not organelles (Schilling), but rather bacterial rods of the bacterial phase of the Endobiont that have developed out of the aforementioned peripheral granules. Later on, they break free and crawl about on the erythrocytes and leukocytes like inchworms (hence the designation "wormlets" by Health Officer Dr. Otto Schmidt of Munich).
13. Also, the globucellular and spindle-cell sarcomas contain no host globular or spindle cells; instead, these represent cross-sectioned (globular) cells and diagonally longitudinally-sectioned (spindle) cells from the mycelia of the Endobiont.
14. Reticulocytes (Heilmeyer) are not erythrocytes with special organelles, but erythrocytes internally infested with Endobiont Chondrit trees.
15. Leukocyte pseudopodia formation (dendrites) (after Bond, London 1924: The Leukocyte in Health and Disease, H. K. Lewis & Co.) actually represents Chondrit dendroids of the Endobiont - also identified as "fibrin" by the standard doctrine!
16. The sterility of human blood (in centrifugate and in filtrate). This doctrinal illusion actually represents a massive infestation of all blood elements of all vertebrates (including man) - even the healthiest - with primitive phases of the Endobiont, which infestation develops probaenogenetically on up to the bacterial and even fungal phases as a disease progresses.
17. The sterility of blood serum = the doctrinal illusion as to the contents of the serum as well in the most varied primitive phases of the Endobiont.
18. Diapedesis = the doctrinal illusion concerning the seizure of all protein reserves in the human body by the Endobiont immediately after death, and their formation into "fibrin".
19. The Culminante of the fungal form (Mucor racemosus Fresen) of the Endobiont is easy to obtain by culturing from tumors, as Health Officer Dr. Otto Schmidt of Munich demonstrated as far back as 1903 (and subsequently), and which I have been able to confirm personally.
20. The calcareous coats of the tubercular foci in the lungs are not host defensive processes, but rather manifestations of calcinosis, of the misdirected efforts of the parasite to protect itself from the defensive reactions of human blood.

The Origin of the Term Akmosophy
The following introductory text is excerpted from Prof. Dr. Günther Enderlein's "Akmon 1."© Copyright 1955 by Dr. Siegfried Nimtz, Member of the Society for Freedom In Science at Oxford (from the estate), United Kingdom
When Prof. Dr. Enderlein laid the foundations of his system of "perfect health", he christened it Akmosophy (thus, the Books 1, 2 and 3 by Prof. Dr. Enderlein). The word for health in ancient Greek is akmae. This derives from the (much older) name for the Asia Minor god of health, Akmon, from which Prof. Dr. Enderlein derived the word Akmosophy. He thereby characterized his system of perfect health as a holistic doctrine comprising the rules for structuring one's life accordingly. By giving it this name, the biologist Prof. Dr. Günther Enderlein also resurrected a view that, originating with the ancient Indians, Babylonians and Egyptians, had actually culminated in Hippocrates' humoral pathology. Thanks to the findings of Akmosophy, we are now able to isolate the principal factors of humoral pathology; they had been previously been assigned, in part, to immunobiology - a category that the founding of Akmosophy has made superfluous. The goal of the Akmosophic Society is to continue to develop and expand on the fundamentals of Prof. Dr. Günther Enderlein's Akmosophy. What the ancients sensed instinctively must now take place in full consciousness: the internal realization of an image of perfect human health.
Akmosophy needs to become a "well-known concept" to modern man. In the oldest cultures, the name was "substance". "That all-surrounding eternally creative principle", the active Godhead of the cosmos, [has been] worshipped by mankind since time immemorial. Thousands of years of tradition have rooted these feelings deeply, buried in primeval cries. In the simple, direct words of Genesis, the cause of all cosmic events is ascribed to the all-powerful godly command: "He speaks, and so it comes to pass; He commands, and so it is." To name is to create. Whoever knew the right name was capable of great magic. Simply speaking it sufficed to destroy the enemy, to have mastery over the forces of nature, to be attended to by spirits made powerless by the magic word, to banish illness. The Avesta coined an adjective especially for a godhead whose name is given in the prayer: Aoxtonaman. In the primeval myths, the creation of the world is traced back to the magic effect of the powerful letters of The Holy Name. "
In the Beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth." Early man dwelt in a living relationship to the cosmic heavenly forces that maintained his health. Most of the mythic cosmogonies and theogonies speak of a paradisiac state which is reflected in similar sounds such as akman, akmon - ancient tones denoting Heaven and God, found in the transition of the early Mediterranean high cultures. Pain-staking linguistic research work has assembled the evidence, in pre-Indo-European Eurafrica, for the handed-down expressions that date back to vanished sources, whereby Akman - as maintainer of Heaven and Earth - indicates the name of the highest Being of an ancient high religion. The words akmae and akmon also appear, both in Sanskrit and in the Zend. These archaic colossi, the massive stones in the palaces of Mycenae and Ekbatana, could tell us moderns a thing or two. Ekbatana had many circular walls that, according to Herodotus, enclosed the heavenly spheres; the obelisks were the petrified rays of the sun. In this image, preserved for millennia for us, the inner relationship of the stony heaven in the word akme might become clear to us. The Sanskrit word acman corresponds to the early Greek Akmon, which designates the Heavens and the Earth. Although the word is found a few times in this sense in the Veda, it appears more frequently in the Iranian language, where acman in the Zend is the standard designation for the Heavens. The Greek mythological name Akmon is evidence that the Greeks had known the word in the sense of "heaven", in which sense it continued in the Iranian language. The medieval Christian theologians glossed this name as "untiring, fresh", referring to the never-ending motions of the heavens. Asian primeval elements and cultural borrowings extended all the way into the Mediterranean region. As the crossroads of all major eastern Mediterranean maritime routes, Crete opened not just on Greece and Asia Minor: Phoenicia, Egypt and Italy were nearer from here than elsewhere - but most enduring were the numerous contacts with Asia Minor. Here, Asian and European (in a narrower sense Phrygian and Pelasgic) elements could coalesce and, in this oldest period, elevate Crete to the focal point and point of departure of a mighty cultural mission. Here is where many varied legends converge and intertwine richly, their predominance and revolutionary power making itself felt everywhere in Greece on into historical times. The legend of Europa, born here, is directly connected to Phoenicia. From the earliest times, the Cretan Ida bore the same name as the Phrygian mountain. It was connected with the same complex of legends and idols, that of the Idaic mother Thea or Cybele, the Dactyls, the Curetes or Corybants. The Dactyls arose from the dust thrown behind him by Anchiale; they are prototypes of those sorcerers and shamans who serve the great goddesses. They unify God and man by means of ecstatic dances. In the legend complex around the Idaic mother, they appear as the demons, blacksmiths and sorcerers, Kelmis, Dammaneus and Akmon of hearth, hammer and anvil. The father is Dactylos (hence the name Idaioi Daktyloi; sources for this include the Phoronis epic and the Paris chronicle). For example, the gigantic Phrygians are mentioned in the Phoronis, fantastically strong and capable servants of Rhea, who were the first to find and forge iron in the mountain gorges and ravines, five masculine ironworkers and five assistant sisters. There must have been many cultural stimuli that originated with them. They went, for example, to Samothrace as Orphic teachers, they developed the first Ephesian forms and musical rhythms - hence the dactyl as the name of a poetic metrical pattern. They first taught the Hellenes how to play stringed instruments. Here, the myth of the birth of Zeus culminated in the Diktaic Grotto. In this, the Dactyls composed the protective demons who performed rhythmic dances. They represent the constructive and beneficent forces of ature. The Cretan Idaic cult of the dying and resurrecting vegetal god, which was later joined with the Hellenic Zeus, was adopted from here. The Curetes are the offspring of the Dactyls, who founded the Mysteries into which even Pythagoras was initiated. Hercules, one of the most influential Curetes, came to Olympia and established the Games; he also consecrates an altar to the Olympic Zeus. In Olympia, the Curetes appear primarily in their healing sense. The Curetes' duties - again, merged with the Corybants - were adopted by the Orphics, and were maintained until the 4th century A.D. Philosophy has also taken hold of it, starting with the rationalism of Euhemeros and later the Stoa. The name Akmon thus turns up in the Idaic Dactyls, and the kinship between the Dactyloid demons and the race of Titans has been established. With the Cretan birth legend of Zeus, the Idaic Dactyls also came to Olympia, where, in addition to Hercules, many altars were erected to them, who were regarded as healing gods. Of these, Epimedes was considered to be the "herbalist and conjuror" and Paenaios a "remedy-bringer" demigod. How far back these traditions reach (that originate in Asia Minor) can be seen in the fact that the Ethymology of the ancients hardly mentions the Dactyls. According to the witnesses, Akmon, as the highest divine servant of the goddess Adastreia, carries out the sentence against his brother Kelmis by putting him into iron chains as punishment for his wickedness with respect to divine law. Kelmis here plays the role that would in like manner fall to Prometheus in later Greek mythology. Here, the knowledge of a healthy existence is shrouded in allegorical images.1 Zeus, overcome with rage at Prometheus' theft of fire, sent the female Pandora as vengeance, whom Hephaistos had fashioned out of clay for this purpose, who had given to Aphrodite charm, to Hermes handsome features, flattering speech and cunning and to Zeus a box - Pandora's Box - containing all the evils, which she was forbidden to open. But her female curiosity got the better of her and she opened the box, out of which then emerged snakes and all manner of evils, and they spread out throughout mankind (i.e. the consequences of thousands of chronic ailments!). There was but one hope left in the bottom of the box, conditional upon the return of the accursed fire (i.e. the forced return to a diet of raw fruits and vegetables!). This marvelous symbolism is reinforced by the illustration of the effect of the improper use of fire in food preparation, in which an eagle gnaws on the liver and gallbladder of the rock-bound Prometheus (initial symptoms of cancer formation!). All of this mythic wisdom forms the basis of the like-oriented teachings that focus on the divine life commandments and the warding off of dangers. This role of keeper of life's supreme laws and executor of divine orders was played by Akmon, the god of health. He is the supreme messenger, sent to preserve the divine order. He appears in Greek mythology as the personification of the anvil, which indicates the ancient connections to smithcraft, mining and metallurgy. The name Akmon is included in the names of the gods. Akmon is the son of Gaia, the father of Uranus, of Eros, of Charon. According to other sources (Hesiod, Hesychius), Akmon is the nickname of Oceanos and Aether. Akmon is the companion of Diomede, of Aeneas, the son of Manes, of the Phrygian demigod Eponymos and founder of the city of Akmonia in Phrygian Asia Minor on the route to Philadelphia. The name Akmon as a term for heaven and earth is reminiscent of the mythological beginnings, and is used as a divine nickname in remembrance of its healing significance, as a term for the elevated and all-encompassing, a symbol of the fullness of life and of health. The name Akmon is (even viewed purely linguistically) a "trademark" - that by which the essence is recognized, that which makes a difference. This explains the custom, which persisted into historical times, of giving a seriously ill person a new name. This isn't just in the superstitious sense of thereby leading evil spirits astray: it is a sign of an inner alteration in the patient, a change of course, a transformation of lifestyle. The Idaic Dactyls (Kelmis) retain the name Akmon in this sense. The verses are prayers, in which the individual word has a mystical character. There are also three Nymph alters at Olympia, near the Oracle of G e, on whom the nickname Akmenai was bestowed. These altars belonged to particularly prominent individuals, superhuman beings - less than goddesses but more than actual women, occupying an intermediate rank. They were a subordinate choir to the highest godhead, serving the great mother Hera, Demeter and Apollo, and had helped build the Temple of Hera. Mantic powers were ascribed to them. They are said to have embodied the uplifting and inspiring aspect of fresh, free nature; they were said to be donors of the blessings of water, which caused meadow and cattle to flourish. In ancient times, the springhouses were dedicated to them; they bore the name to which they were entitled: Akmenai. They were beings who imparted the Akmic to mankind. The tradition of the word continues to exert its effect. The Greek translation is not authentic; the later Greeks derive it partly from what remains of the Phrygian dialect and partly from supposed echoes of certain meanings. For example, there is a remarkable parallel with the word Aatmann (unrelated to the German Atem, breath) = soul or self, the highest and ultimate, inner soul, inner self. According to Hinduism, the goal of life is to permit Aatmann to develop and do its work, far removed from the body's desires: self-realization. In this magical sense, the ancient word takes leave of colloquial speech, for those who inhabit a new level of consciousness no longer understand it. The disappearance of this word from common speech is here - as it is for other words - a striking phenomenon that approaches us from the Greeks and Germans. With the education of the intellect and the development of intellectual concepts, the Greek language gives the ancient mythic tones a new element. Completely uncoupled from mythic-religious ideas, the Greek word akmaios means: in full bloom and maturity; in full power and effectiveness; powerful; in highest mental state. Akme: at the decision point; in bloom; the most powerful and beautiful time; the most powerful period of human life; the period of greatest development of power; the culmination - but also the concomitant danger, crisis of disease - vital old age; fullness of health (perfect health).2 The Greek word akme in this sense has been incorporated into English - although rarely used - as 'acme', period of full growth, the flower of the full bloom of life, the point of extreme violence of diseases, crises - e.g. acme of beauty, acme of stoical attainment.3 This train of thought indicates the content concealed in the concept of the Akmic even after it has passed through tradition. It is, in a universal sense, the proto-word for the divine powers of perfect health, which excludes any and all unilateral interpretations, which has come down to us via the human consciousness levels of the magical, mythical, rational. Unlike any other, it is unencumbered by fossilized historical aspirations and is thus, in its original form, tailor-made for a modern high consciousness. There is no particular flavor clinging to it, no possibly ineradicable historical coloration; we have managed to maintain, in spite of all the multi-layered and intertwined streams of linguistic development, the original meaning, which is to be fulfilled in its true sense.

When Prof. Dr. Enderlein laid the foundations of his system of "perfect health", he christened it Akmosophy (thus, the Books 1, 2 and 3 by Prof. Dr. Enderlein). The word for health in ancient Greek is akmae. This derives from the (much older) name for the Asia Minor god of health, Akmon, from which Prof. Dr. Enderlein derived the word Akmosophy. He thereby characterized his system of perfect health as a holistic doctrine comprising the rules for structuring one's life accordingly. By giving it this name, the biologist Prof. Dr. Günther Enderlein also resurrected a view that, originating with the ancient Indians, Babylonians and Egyptians, had actually culminated in Hippocrates' humoral pathology. Thanks to the findings of Akmosophy, we are now able to isolate the principal factors of humoral pathology; they had been previously been assigned, in part, to immunobiology - a category that the founding of Akmosophy has made superfluous. The goal of the Akmosophic Society is to continue to develop and expand on the fundamentals of Prof. Dr. Günther Enderlein's Akmosophy. What the ancients sensed instinctively must now take place in full consciousness: the internal realization of an image of perfect human health.
Akmosophy needs to become a "well-known concept" to modern man. In the oldest cultures, the name was "substance". "That all-surrounding eternally creative principle", the active Godhead of the cosmos, [has been] worshipped by mankind since time immemorial. Thousands of years of tradition have rooted these feelings deeply, buried in primeval cries. In the simple, direct words of Genesis, the cause of all cosmic events is ascribed to the all-powerful godly command: "He speaks, and so it comes to pass; He commands, and so it is." To name is to create. Whoever knew the right name was capable of great magic. Simply speaking it sufficed to destroy the enemy, to have mastery over the forces of nature, to be attended to by spirits made powerless by the magic word, to banish illness. The Avesta coined an adjective especially for a godhead whose name is given in the prayer: Aoxtonaman. In the primeval myths, the creation of the world is traced back to the magic effect of the powerful letters of The Holy Name. "
In the Beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth." Early man dwelt in a living relationship to the cosmic heavenly forces that maintained his health. Most of the mythic cosmogonies and theogonies speak of a paradisiac state which is reflected in similar sounds such as akman, akmon - ancient tones denoting Heaven and God, found in the transition of the early Mediterranean high cultures. Pain-staking linguistic research work has assembled the evidence, in pre-Indo-European Eurafrica, for the handed-down expressions that date back to vanished sources, whereby Akman - as maintainer of Heaven and Earth - indicates the name of the highest Being of an ancient high religion. The words akmae and akmon also appear, both in Sanskrit and in the Zend. These archaic colossi, the massive stones in the palaces of Mycenae and Ekbatana, could tell us moderns a thing or two. Ekbatana had many circular walls that, according to Herodotus, enclosed the heavenly spheres; the obelisks were the petrified rays of the sun. In this image, preserved for millennia for us, the inner relationship of the stony heaven in the word akme might become clear to us. The Sanskrit word acman corresponds to the early Greek Akmon, which designates the Heavens and the Earth. Although the word is found a few times in this sense in the Veda, it appears more frequently in the Iranian language, where acman in the Zend is the standard designation for the Heavens. The Greek mythological name Akmon is evidence that the Greeks had known the word in the sense of "heaven", in which sense it continued in the Iranian language. The medieval Christian theologians glossed this name as "untiring, fresh", referring to the never-ending motions of the heavens. Asian primeval elements and cultural borrowings extended all the way into the Mediterranean region. As the crossroads of all major eastern Mediterranean maritime routes, Crete opened not just on Greece and Asia Minor: Phoenicia, Egypt and Italy were nearer from here than elsewhere - but most enduring were the numerous contacts with Asia Minor. Here, Asian and European (in a narrower sense Phrygian and Pelasgic) elements could coalesce and, in this oldest period, elevate Crete to the focal point and point of departure of a mighty cultural mission. Here is where many varied legends converge and intertwine richly, their predominance and revolutionary power making itself felt everywhere in Greece on into historical times. The legend of Europa, born here, is directly connected to Phoenicia. From the earliest times, the Cretan Ida bore the same name as the Phrygian mountain. It was connected with the same complex of legends and idols, that of the Idaic mother Thea or Cybele, the Dactyls, the Curetes or Corybants. The Dactyls arose from the dust thrown behind him by Anchiale; they are prototypes of those sorcerers and shamans who serve the great goddesses. They unify God and man by means of ecstatic dances. In the legend complex around the Idaic mother, they appear as the demons, blacksmiths and sorcerers, Kelmis, Dammaneus and Akmon of hearth, hammer and anvil. The father is Dactylos (hence the name Idaioi Daktyloi; sources for this include the Phoronis epic and the Paris chronicle). For example, the gigantic Phrygians are mentioned in the Phoronis, fantastically strong and capable servants of Rhea, who were the first to find and forge iron in the mountain gorges and ravines, five masculine ironworkers and five assistant sisters. There must have been many cultural stimuli that originated with them. They went, for example, to Samothrace as Orphic teachers, they developed the first Ephesian forms and musical rhythms - hence the dactyl as the name of a poetic metrical pattern. They first taught the Hellenes how to play stringed instruments. Here, the myth of the birth of Zeus culminated in the Diktaic Grotto. In this, the Dactyls composed the protective demons who performed rhythmic dances. They represent the constructive and beneficent forces of ature. The Cretan Idaic cult of the dying and resurrecting vegetal god, which was later joined with the Hellenic Zeus, was adopted from here. The Curetes are the offspring of the Dactyls, who founded the Mysteries into which even Pythagoras was initiated. Hercules, one of the most influential Curetes, came to Olympia and established the Games; he also consecrates an altar to the Olympic Zeus. In Olympia, the Curetes appear primarily in their healing sense. The Curetes' duties - again, merged with the Corybants - were adopted by the Orphics, and were maintained until the 4th century A.D. Philosophy has also taken hold of it, starting with the rationalism of Euhemeros and later the Stoa. The name Akmon thus turns up in the Idaic Dactyls, and the kinship between the Dactyloid demons and the race of Titans has been established. With the Cretan birth legend of Zeus, the Idaic Dactyls also came to Olympia, where, in addition to Hercules, many altars were erected to them, who were regarded as healing gods. Of these, Epimedes was considered to be the "herbalist and conjuror" and Paenaios a "remedy-bringer" demigod. How far back these traditions reach (that originate in Asia Minor) can be seen in the fact that the Ethymology of the ancients hardly mentions the Dactyls. According to the witnesses, Akmon, as the highest divine servant of the goddess Adastreia, carries out the sentence against his brother Kelmis by putting him into iron chains as punishment for his wickedness with respect to divine law. Kelmis here plays the role that would in like manner fall to Prometheus in later Greek mythology. Here, the knowledge of a healthy existence is shrouded in allegorical images.1 Zeus, overcome with rage at Prometheus' theft of fire, sent the female Pandora as vengeance, whom Hephaistos had fashioned out of clay for this purpose, who had given to Aphrodite charm, to Hermes handsome features, flattering speech and cunning and to Zeus a box - Pandora's Box - containing all the evils, which she was forbidden to open. But her female curiosity got the better of her and she opened the box, out of which then emerged snakes and all manner of evils, and they spread out throughout mankind (i.e. the consequences of thousands of chronic ailments!). There was but one hope left in the bottom of the box, conditional upon the return of the accursed fire (i.e. the forced return to a diet of raw fruits and vegetables!). This marvelous symbolism is reinforced by the illustration of the effect of the improper use of fire in food preparation, in which an eagle gnaws on the liver and gallbladder of the rock-bound Prometheus (initial symptoms of cancer formation!). All of this mythic wisdom forms the basis of the like-oriented teachings that focus on the divine life commandments and the warding off of dangers. This role of keeper of life's supreme laws and executor of divine orders was played by Akmon, the god of health. He is the supreme messenger, sent to preserve the divine order. He appears in Greek mythology as the personification of the anvil, which indicates the ancient connections to smithcraft, mining and metallurgy. The name Akmon is included in the names of the gods. Akmon is the son of Gaia, the father of Uranus, of Eros, of Charon. According to other sources (Hesiod, Hesychius), Akmon is the nickname of Oceanos and Aether. Akmon is the companion of Diomede, of Aeneas, the son of Manes, of the Phrygian demigod Eponymos and founder of the city of Akmonia in Phrygian Asia Minor on the route to Philadelphia. The name Akmon as a term for heaven and earth is reminiscent of the mythological beginnings, and is used as a divine nickname in remembrance of its healing significance, as a term for the elevated and all-encompassing, a symbol of the fullness of life and of health. The name Akmon is (even viewed purely linguistically) a "trademark" - that by which the essence is recognized, that which makes a difference. This explains the custom, which persisted into historical times, of giving a seriously ill person a new name. This isn't just in the superstitious sense of thereby leading evil spirits astray: it is a sign of an inner alteration in the patient, a change of course, a transformation of lifestyle. The Idaic Dactyls (Kelmis) retain the name Akmon in this sense. The verses are prayers, in which the individual word has a mystical character. There are also three Nymph alters at Olympia, near the Oracle of G e, on whom the nickname Akmenai was bestowed. These altars belonged to particularly prominent individuals, superhuman beings - less than goddesses but more than actual women, occupying an intermediate rank. They were a subordinate choir to the highest godhead, serving the great mother Hera, Demeter and Apollo, and had helped build the Temple of Hera. Mantic powers were ascribed to them. They are said to have embodied the uplifting and inspiring aspect of fresh, free nature; they were said to be donors of the blessings of water, which caused meadow and cattle to flourish. In ancient times, the springhouses were dedicated to them; they bore the name to which they were entitled: Akmenai. They were beings who imparted the Akmic to mankind. The tradition of the word continues to exert its effect. The Greek translation is not authentic; the later Greeks derive it partly from what remains of the Phrygian dialect and partly from supposed echoes of certain meanings. For example, there is a remarkable parallel with the word Aatmann (unrelated to the German Atem, breath) = soul or self, the highest and ultimate, inner soul, inner self. According to Hinduism, the goal of life is to permit Aatmann to develop and do its work, far removed from the body's desires: self-realization. In this magical sense, the ancient word takes leave of colloquial speech, for those who inhabit a new level of consciousness no longer understand it. The disappearance of this word from common speech is here - as it is for other words - a striking phenomenon that approaches us from the Greeks and Germans. With the education of the intellect and the development of intellectual concepts, the Greek language gives the ancient mythic tones a new element. Completely uncoupled from mythic-religious ideas, the Greek word akmaios means: in full bloom and maturity; in full power and effectiveness; powerful; in highest mental state. Akme: at the decision point; in bloom; the most powerful and beautiful time; the most powerful period of human life; the period of greatest development of power; the culmination - but also the concomitant danger, crisis of disease - vital old age; fullness of health (perfect health).2 The Greek word akme in this sense has been incorporated into English - although rarely used - as 'acme', period of full growth, the flower of the full bloom of life, the point of extreme violence of diseases, crises - e.g. acme of beauty, acme of stoical attainment.3 This train of thought indicates the content concealed in the concept of the Akmic even after it has passed through tradition. It is, in a universal sense, the proto-word for the divine powers of perfect health, which excludes any and all unilateral interpretations, which has come down to us via the human consciousness levels of the magical, mythical, rational. Unlike any other, it is unencumbered by fossilized historical aspirations and is thus, in its original form, tailor-made for a modern high consciousness. There is no particular flavor clinging to it, no possibly ineradicable historical coloration; we have managed to maintain, in spite of all the multi-layered and intertwined streams of linguistic development, the original meaning, which is to be fulfilled in its true sense. This is our responsibility, our task. A name is, beyond any word of agreement, a precious container, into which we wish to pour our effective powers. In his instructions for Akmosophy,4 Prof. Dr. Günther Enderlein has shown the way that leads out of the present human existential crisis (as documented by the numerous "diseases of civilization"). It is a long road! - but the torches of the great research intellects light our way onward. Let's get started, toward the Acmae, toward perfect health! The primeval and the modern commingle on this path: "The truth is long since found, with noble spirits bound.Now grasp the ancient truth!"Schwerte, October 1953.
