At this point I wanted to direct Dr. Essen to the .specific area of arthritis.
“What is your experience in Vita Nova with arthritis, and how effective are biological methods in the treatment of arthritis?”
“First, we must acknowledge that the conventional, symptomatic drug approach to arthritis has failed to show positive results. Accordingly, patients are left without any alternative. In fact, they are told that there is no alternative.
“But there is an alternative, and sometimes a very effective one, without toxic drugs. This alternative is biological medicine.
“Biological medicine is very adaptable for treating diseases of the rheumatic type because of their systemic and metabolic nature. The biological treatments help restore the normal metabolic rate, normalize the functions of the vital organs, assist the body in elimination of toxic wastes from the system—in short, rebuild and restore the patient’s general health. Although I believe that dependable scientific conclusions must be made first after ten years of observation (our clinical work here started only seven years ago), our preliminary impression is that biological methods are of supreme importance in the management of arthritis. As you know, we do not specialize in arthritis only—patients come here with all imaginable ills. But we have treated a sufficient number of patients with arthritis already to be able to make the statement that biological treatment will give them a chance either for a complete recovery or, in most cases, a definite improvement in their condition.”
