The internal milieu is a conceptual term coined by 19th-century French physician Claude Bernard that refers to the internal environment of an organism. Any type of disturbance of the balance between the cells and the surrounding cell milieu can lead to a functional disorder and later to cellular degeneration or cancer.

 

Our organs, glands and tissue cells are imbedded in a complex bioregulatory extracellular matrix (ECM) consisting of 70% water, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It is in the ECM that causes and cures of many of the so-called systemic and chronic illnesses, especially inflammatory conditions, are addressed. And it is here in the bioregulatory ECM where many of the biologically-oriented therapeutics exert their effect. 

 

All nutritional substances – oxygen, vitamins, minerals, etc.– reach the cell by passing through this matrix. Cellular detoxification, communication and regeneration is dependent upon the health and integrity of the bioregulatory matrix.

 

Various influencing factors can destroy and dysregulate the matrix, and, thus, the biosphere of the cells. Repair of tissue after physical or chemical injury depends on the synthesis of the matrix to replace lost or damaged tissue. The extracellular matrix directs repair by regulating the behavior of the wide variety of cell types that are mobilized to the damaged area to rebuild the tissue. Acute inflammation,
re-epithelialization, and contraction all depend on cell–extracellular matrix interactions and contribute to minimize toxicity, infection and promote healing.

 

This conference will present strategies to identify and treat exogenous and endogenous disturbance variables that affect the cell and its internal milieu. Influences both physical (such as toxins, organisms, and trauma), and nonphysical (such as psychoemotional stress, interference fields, foci, and the all-encompassing electro-smog) will be discussed as causative forces that must be addressed for healing to occur. 

 

The basic mechanism for decongesting the ECM is to “open-up” and “drain-out” pollutants and toxins so that the entire body has less toxic burden. Accordingly, detoxification protocols for the organs and bioregulatory matrix will be extensively outlined. Treatments involving nutrition, acid-base balance, oxidation, specific nutrients, herbal therapies and bioresonance therapy will be presented. 

 

Additionally, biological dentistry topics such as safe dental mercury amalgam removal, fluoridation issues and dental foci will be discussed.
