Sanum Therapy: Choosing the Best Method

by Dr. Kirk R. Slagel

There are basically three different methods of using SANUM Therapy:

1. Prevention

2. Symptom treatment

3. Sequential treatment

The Prevention Process involves utilizing a basic therapy of primarily SANUM Remedies one or more times throughout the year, or specific remedies at certain intervals for known conditions, such as seasonal allergies. The idea is to provide the body with the balancing remedies- the Milieu Modulators to affect the internal terrain, the Isopathic/Homeopathic Fungal remedies, which support the downward regulation of the organisms that may become pathological and the Immunomodulating Bacterial remedies to modulate the immune system. This process may be used for supporting general wellness and also when the diagnosis is not clear.

The basic supportive therapy involves the following.  (ed: below Dr. Slagel suggests Pleomorphic tablets; we suggest drops instead) Suggest the necessary diet and lifestyle changes that support a healthy milieu, remembering that a healthy diet supports normal gut function keeping the immunoglobulin IgA at peak levels. 

Correct the acid-base-equilibrium with Pleo Alkala (Check urinary pH. If it is below 6.5 then use up to 1 teaspoon (scoop) in hot water in the morning away from meals by an hour or more.) Pleo Sanuvis and Pleo Citro (up to 3 plastic teaspoons per day before the meals). Pleo Fort 5X 1 tablet in the morning and Pleo Not 5X 1 tablet. in the evening for two weeks, then switch to…

Pleo Muc 5X 1 tablet. in the morning, and Pleo Nig 5X 1 tablet in the evening over two weeks. From the beginning simultaneously apply the "capsule cure": 1 capsule, rotating per week: starting with Pleo Lat 6X, followed by Pleo Rec 6X, Pleo Ut 6X, and Pleo Ut “S”6X.

SELENOKEHL 4X 10 drops in the morning (Selenokehl = selenium, is presently not available in the United States. Simply substitute selenium from any other reputable nutraceutical company.) (ed: we suggest Pure Encapsulations) MAPURIT (Available in the U.S., is a blend of magnesium and vitamin E) 1 capsule at noon. Pleo Zink 3X 10 drops in the evening before the meals. 

For seasonal preventative therapy Pleo Rub, the Isopathic/Homeopathic remedy made from Aspergillus ruber, has been effective for supporting the treatment of various sinus allergies prophylactically by initiating the therapy 6 – 8 weeks in advance of the usual onset of symptoms and treating through the season. It is recommended to perform a standard assessment of diet and lifestyle and make the recommended modifications to reduce any stressors and remove possible allergenic foods. 

Support the body milieu as above with the Pleo Alkala, Pleo Sanuvis and Pleo Citro, dosages as detailed above. The author recommends incorporating for the first two weeks Pleo Fort and possibly Pleo Pef to support the GI tract with Pleo Rub in the therapy as well. Then switch to the Monday through Friday use of Pleo Muc and Pleo Nig with the Pleo Fort, Pleo Pef and Pleo Rub on the weekends.

The Symptom Approach is likely the most common method of using SANUM Therapy. In this manner the doctor/healthcare practitioner assesses the patient through one of the many approaches: clinical presentation, applied kinesiology, electro-dermal, etc. The assessment would then direct the practitioner toward the indicated remedy or remedies to treat the presenting symptoms or condition. 

For example, one would determine that the patient had a sore throat through patient complaints, patient history, and a physical exam. The practitioner might then obtain a throat culture and order the appropriate labs. The indicated symptom remedies could include Pleo Not for bacterial conditions, Pleo Citro to affect the milieu, and Pleo Rec, the bacterial immunomodulator for mucous membranes. In other situations the practitioner may use only Pleo Not, as it is indicated for bacterial inflammation

The Sequential Approach, based upon Dr. Konrad Werthmann’s Four-Step Process is the most complete in affecting the underlying imbalances of the patient and treating more deeply than the obvious symptoms. The author has written about the Four-step process before, however it is necessary in this newsletter to provide an additional review to illustrate the three different methods of using SANUM. This same process may also be used for nearly all other natural therapeutic modalities.

The Sequential Approach is more complicated for the practitioner and the patient. However, implementing this method, including products from other companies if one chooses, has much to offer as a deep, effective holistic therapy, which is particularly beneficial to chronic disease conditions.

In the Sequential Approach one needs to address the condition for a general guideline of six weeks. This may be so for the other approaches as well, but is certainly the case for the this process. The total therapy may continue for months to potentially years, if the patient has a chronic, and complicated case.

Initially, it is important to treat the various factors contributing to the condition. The altered milieu, as this is the foundation of the disharmony. In SANUM Therapy Pleo Alkala is incorporated- based upon urinary pH- if below 6.5 and ranged between 6.5 and 6.8. The author recommends a dosage of 1/4 to 1/2 scoop from 1 to 3X/day between meals in warm water to support acid/alkaline regulation. Pleo Alkala in the author’s opinion should be used, as with most treatments, as a temporary component to restore disharmony. Diet and lifestyle are obvious obstacles to cure in treating patients and thus, opportunities for healing as well.

Pleo Citro is used to support ATP production and affect the Aspergillus (TB) cycle in the body, and Pleo Sanuvis is used to support mitochondrial respiration and support the Mucor cycle in the body. The following remedies are anabolic for all practical purposes, due to the support of ATP production and increasing mitochondrial respiration. Certainly other products that affect milieu may be used at this time, but it should be remembered that the goal is to gently assist the body in eliminating the cellular accumulations and to stimulate overall elimination through the excretory organs, the emunctories. The emunctories include: the colon, the lungs, the kidneys, and the skin. The excretory capacity of these organs may be poorly functioning, oftentimes just from inactivity. If one progresses too rapidly with any detoxification process, then too much degradation debris may further block these organs. 

One would incorporate the appropriate fungal remedies indicated for the condition simultaneously to affect the underlying microbial imbalances of the patient. This nearly always includes one or more of the following: Pleo Fort- GI support, Pleo Not- bacterial inflammation, Pleo Quent- viral inflammation, and/or the Candida cycle remedies- Pleo Alb- mycosis, Pleo Pef- mycosis and dental, and Pleo Ex- a combination of Pleo Alb, Pleo Pef and Pleo Fort. The other fungal remedies may be applicable as well. However, initial therapy is often begun with Pleo Fort, Not, Quent, Alb, Pef, or Pleo Ex. 

The pH Modulators and the above-mentioned fungal remedies are used generally from 7 – 14 days; the author will use them more or fewer days depending upon the case. After the 7 – 14 days, one stops the use of the above fungals and begins the use of Pleo Muc and Pleo Nig. Pleo Muc and Pleo Nig are used for a number of conditions, but also as the balancing remedies as they affect the basic foundation of the mammalian organism. These remedies are used Monday through Friday at a dosage prescribed by the practitioner. The dosage may be determined by referencing to the Isopathic/Homeopathic Materia Medica. On the weekends one stops the Pleo Muc and Pleo Nig and utilizes the fungal remedies that were used in the beginning during the 7 – 14 days. The idea is to continually treat the presenting condition with the initial fungal remedies over time- the weekends- throughout the therapy as a complete shift is not generally possible in just a few days to a couple of weeks.

At the same time as incorporating the Pleo Muc and Pleo Nig one may incorporate the additional remedies, that is, the immunomodulating bacterial remedies, the Sanukehls, the Polysans, Vitamin/Mineral, etc. The premise is that to stimulate healing one must first reduce the over abundance of the debris and resultant opportunistic development of the existing microbes. This enables the body to react more appropriately to the additional supportive therapies, be it immune modulating remedies, the standard bacterial remedies, the Sanukehls, or the Polysans, or additional remedies such as: classical homeopathic remedies, botanicals, orthomolecular products, etc.

Some practitioners have asked why are not the other remedies incorporated into the beginning therapy. And, the answer form the author’s perspective is this: if a person is debilitated, as is the case with chronic disease, then to attempt to boost the person’s system would be to add fuel to a smoldering fire. If one were to stimulate the body with these remedies initially, when the body is in a deficient state with a reduced or inability to utilize the detoxification process of the body, it may tax the already overburdened system and waste the supportive quality of these various modalities.

Patients do respond to the Prevention and Symptom approach, however they must indeed have the capacity to shift from illness to wellness via the liver’s phase 1 and 2 processes, the kidney, skin, etc. It is in chronic disease that one’s ability to make this shift is deficient or non-existent. This is also when the inclusion of the SANUM Remedies can have such a profound affect as they stimulate this milieu shift and degradation of the opportunistic pathogenic environment.

Additional editor's note: without adequate drainage, a patient can experience problems, such as a healing crisis. Pekana remedies are recommended during Sanum therapy to aid with detoxification drainage.
