Glandular Therapy
The term glandulars refers to dried and ground-up raw animal glandular and non-glandular tissues or extracts of these tissues. They do not only contain the hormones of these organs but also other substances some of which have not yet been isolated. The tissues include mainly those from the following glands and organs: Adrenal, thyroid, thymus, pituitary, liver, pancreas, spleen, kidney, lung, heart, brain, uterus and prostate. Most of the glandular substances are derived from bovine sources and sheep.
Clinical research suggests that glandulars improve the function of the gland or organ from which the extract was taken. The objective in glandular therapy is to stimulate and restore the activity of aged or diseased cells by supplying natural cell stimulators found in the tissues of the corresponding organ of an animal. Even trace amounts of these cell stimulators have shown to be sufficient to achieve desired results. Therefore, it is irrelevant if some of the cell stimulators are destroyed by stomach acid. Most of the glandulars are enteric coated.
Glandular therapy builds on the same principles as Live cell therapy, namely by providing the body not only the major hormone associated with a gland, but all the trace elements as well. Live cell therapy was developed in Europe in the 1930s by the Swiss physician Paul Niehans. One of his patient’s parathyroid gland was accidentally removed surgically. Knowing that she would die untreated, Dr. Niehans injected her with whole diced parathyroid from a freshly slaughtered sheep. The woman survived and lived into her nineties. Live cell therapy is recognized by the medical communities in Europe as legitimate and effective.
Glandular therapy dates back thousands of years, having been used by the ancient Hindus, Egyptians and Greeks. It still thrives in Europe.
Glandulars and other tissue extracts have been administered at one time in traditional medicine, for example the extract of bone marrow was used for the treatment of iron-deficiency anemia. Dissicated thyroid is still given by many physicians in the management of hypothyroidism. Adrenal extract has been found to have some cortisol which has anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic activities. In the past 2 decades several research centers have been studying the effects of thymus peptides on the immune system, as clinical experience has shown that thymus extracts have immunemodulatory activity. For several decades, in Europe thymus extracts have been a valuable addition to immunobiological cancer treatment.
The comprehensive Treatment of the Issels Medical Center integrates glandulars dependent on each individual patient’s condition.
DISCLAIMER: The extent of the response to treatment varies from patient to patient, even with similar diagnosis as the internal bodily environment is unique to each individual patient.
