This relates back to the functional tests and the biological terrain. The most lucid explanation of biological terrain is derived from the work of Enderlein, M.D. using darkfield microscopy. The insight gained from understanding his approach gives you an idea of the severity of the condition and estimates not only the types of therapy that will need to be employed, but also the duration one can expect before health is rejuvenated. The stages of health are outlined into 6 progressive "Reckeweg" phases. Continue Reading >>
