Homœopathic Odyssey
The dedication of my career to
homœopathy is fuelled by the desire for
an exciting life, full of diverse encounters,
where I can produce something concrete
with my own two hands for the purpose
of improving health. There are many
different ways I could go about this, but
because of my professional education and
training as a pharmacist, I am especially
interested in seeking out rare minerals,
salts, and aromatic plants, as well as smelly
excretions, combustible metals, and animal
venoms.
Years earlier in Peru, I had announced,
via a local radio station, a reward for a
live bushmaster but it was only more
recently, while filming a documentary in
the Peruvian rainforest, that I could finally
milk L. muta. The specimen was so large
it took two other people besides myself
to hold it down during the procedure.
It had very beautiful markings and was
unbelievably powerful. I had to lean on the
snake with my arm and entire upper body
to take its venom.
This odyssey has consumed many years
of my life, brought me to the far corners
of the Earth, and provided unforgettable
experiences as well as an occasional wild
adventure.
In Search of the Bushmaster
Of all my quests, finding the bushmaster
snake (Lachesis muta) took the longest,
and I followed up every opportunity on
my rainforest expeditions to come closer to
this elusive creature. In Suriname I hired
a Russian snake specialist in an attempt to
catch one.
Fig 2: Milking a bushmaster
The bushmaster can extend its venomous
teeth laterally from its jaw when necessary.
It is highly active at night rather than
during the day, stands its ground when
threatened, can jump three metres high
and keep up with a deer at full speed. As
a remedy manufacturer, the combination
of all these aspects gives me mixed
feelings about Lachesis. Last but not least,
this substance also requires extensive
documentation when registering it with
the health authorities, including a risk
assessment (as for all substances of animal
origin) and a test for the absence of alpha
virus.

Needless to say, snake venom is a
source of homœopathic medicine
whose collection truly carries a great
amount of risk. To acquire a certain
venom, I seek out a snake breeder in
order to borrow the desired animal;

Once again, I was visited by a
television crew. This time the theme
of the programme was ‘Poisons and

quickly. Far from it! For six weeks
I struggled with the effects of the
adder bite until finally my suffering
concluded in a strange manner: after
weeks of discolouration of my left
upper arm and chest area in shades
of dark violet and yellowish-blue, I
had a discharge of blood from one of
my nipples. My pain subsided when
the scab fell off, although for a long
time afterwards, a feeling of numbness
remained in the affected finger joint.
On a side note, one result of many
journeys to the jungle was the
realisation, among other things, that
the thickness of the toilet paper is
inversely proportional to the average
relative humidity of the country being
visited, and that it is therefore always
a good idea to bring along a pair of
nail clippers. I also realised that one
experiences a broad palette of feelings
and emotions that is much richer
than in ordinary life. The hammock
literally becomes a source of dreams of
an intensity not known before. These
experiences have made me grateful to
carry out expeditions for homœopathy,
even though it is sometimes very
difficult to leave my family for
extended periods.
Milking snakes is like flying an
airplane: if you have people watching
(especially family members)
and you want to show off a few
spectacular flight manoeuvres, it is
easy to lose mental concentration
and/or to undertake actions that
are not safe, leading to the pilot or
machine becoming overwhelmed.
My reasons for milking snakes and
flying gyrocopters are the same: to
continually recognise and explore
my own limits of concentration and
reaction time, as well as hone my
ability to multi-task.
Homœopathy and Conventional
Medicine
I have oriented my life around
homœopathy and been an enthusiastic
advocate for many years. Often I have
relied on homœopathic therapy or
recommended a trusted practitioner
when asked for health advice.
However, there have also been, and
continue to be, situations where I use
conventional medicine. This occurs
when the situation is difficult and
serious and no homœopath may be

found nearby to administer treatment.
I have learned that self-diagnosis
and treatment – even when one is
very experienced and skilled – is not
possible in homœopathy. The patient
is too central to his or her own self and
the necessary separation and distance
is lacking.
The Shamaness of Kalimantan
In Borneo one and a half decades
ago, during a trip to the rainforests
of Kalimantan, I decided to visit a
shamaness. She lived on a riverbank in
an isolated region of swampy, rough
terrain.
Fig 4: Shamaness
A few days before setting out to her
area, I had cut myself on a broken
beer bottle. The humidity and heat
caused the wound to swell up like a
flower bud before it opens. I travelled
with a guide by boat towards the
desired destination, and after a long,
uncomfortable journey, finally found
where the shamaness lived. There
was no dock on the riverbank; only a
few boards and steppingstones were
scattered about in the water. I had
my precious camera with me and
cautiously made my way to shore,
step by step. As circumstances would
have it, I slipped and fell in the water,
managing to keep the camera – held
in my healthy hand – from being
submerged. I didn’t think about my
wound and was immensely happy to
have saved my camera. The visit that
followed was stimulating and full of
diverse experiences: the indigenous
Similia - The Australian Journal of Homœopathic Medicine
June 2015—Volume 27 Number 1
custom of wearing large, heavy
earrings made a lasting impression on
me.
The next day I noticed a hardening
and discolouration of the wound
on the affected hand accompanied
by extreme pain; within hours, the
swelling and violet colour had rapidly
progressed. I could also hear a distinct
seething sound coming from certain
places in the wound. I realised I had a
clostridia infection and immediately
took 250mg of ciprofloxacin. I also had
enough sense to visit a hospital in the
next town. The staff there were quite
surprised and actually appreciated
the opportunity to study such a clear
manifestation of gas gangrene, which
for them was a rare occurrence. They
approved of my antibiotic treatment
and doubled the dosage. I would
have gladly placed myself under the
care of a homœopath, but because
this was not possible I turned to
conventional medicine and chose not
to self-experiment. That would have
resulted in a meaningless death in
East Kalimantan as a consequence of
irrational thinking, with my life ending
up as a statistic.
Another time I was in the Amazon on
the lower course of the Rio Negro with
a small group of pharmacists from São
Paulo, searching for adventure and
substances for homœopathy. As we
explored the shoreline and met with
indigenous peoples of the region, we
were exposed to the full force of the
sun and intense downpours of rain.
Consequently, one of the men from
our group suffered an attack of malaria
and spent most of the time in his
hammock with a high fever. He had
acquired the illness years earlier and it
manifested from time to time.
Shortly afterwards I also began to
be plagued by fever, tiredness and
severe pain that became increasingly
stronger, and during the daylight
hours affected my entire body. I
found it quite strange that although
I continued to take analgesics, they
did nothing to relieve the pain. On
the return trip I stopped in São Paulo
and was examined by a specialist who
was unable to make a clear diagnosis.
They put me in a wheelchair and took
me to the airport (never in my life did
an airplane boarding go so quickly),
where I began the long, painful
journey back home. I still remember
the stewardess’s strange looks as I,
crouched on the floor of the plane,
kept ordering wine and whisky to try
and control my pain.
This was no heroic and successful
return to my home country, rather a
sickly re-entry. Weeks later the doctors
determined that I was experiencing
delayed neurological symptoms from
a Lyme infection. Months earlier
I had visited a doctor to seek an
explanation for a strange, expanding
red circle on my skin. The doctor
wholeheartedly assured me he had
never seen anything like it before and
not to worry about it: at the time I had
not been satisfied with the diagnosis.
Over many years I have learned to
adjust to this ‘syphilis of the modern
age’. I usually manage to pass through
the spiral of pain fairly quickly when
it arises, and permit myself to rest as
much as my profession allows.
The Biting Bullet Ants of Peru
I used another journey to Peru many
years later for a remedy proving on
myself. Together with Jan Scholten
and a film crew we trekked through
the jungle to explore the relationship
between homœopathy and nature and
more specifically, to document what
it would be like to milk the venom
from a poisonous snake, potentise
the substance, and then try it out
personally, all on location.
We also had the luck to come across (or
actually to be guided to) a place where
bullet ants (Paraponera clavata) could
be found.(1) The native inhabitants fear
these giant ants more than snakes;
they also use them in their initiation
rituals. The bite is extremely painful
and causes severe inflammation that
lasts for 24 hours. They are therefore
also known by the name ‘veinticuatro’,
or 24-hour ant.
I had resolved to allow myself to
be bitten by bullet ants in order to
characterise the quality of the pain
for the development of an associated
remedy picture in the materia medica.
The indigenous locals were quite
animated when they heard this and
earnestly discussed the matter, for
it had never before occurred that
someone submitted themselves to
this torture of their own free will.
Eventually I allowed four ants to
35
bite me and was astonished at how
the pain manifested: dull, violent,
overwhelming, existential, as well
as having some of the qualities of
amputation and war.(2) I was quite
happy and relieved when the pain
subsided, especially when it was no
longer noticeable the next day. I had,
of course, informed myself beforehand
of any possible delayed or permanent
consequences, and only decided
to undergo the ordeal when I was
satisfied there would be none of these.
When spiders or scorpions are used as
a base substance for a homœopathic
remedy, their entire body is almost
always used, usually triturated
or placed in alcohol. To turn such
deplorable creatures into medicine has
mostly seemed justified to me, but I
have always suffered from having to
kill any animal. When it comes time
to do this, I notice myself often trying
to somehow avoid the task, always
finding more important things to do
first.
One time, a homœopathic practitioner
petitioned me to potentise a funnelweb spider. Atrax robustus(3) is an
inconspicuous yet extremely poisonous
spider from Australia that, according
to the literature, may be found in such
unexpected places as underneath toilet
seats in homes in Sydney. In this case,
I chose not to fly halfway around the
Earth to find a specimen, but rather
contacted a spider source in Germany.
I resolved, however, not to cause the
animal any harm and to stimulate
venom production by mechanical
means. The challenge was to find a
way to immobilise the spider so that
I could access its chelicerae while
making sure the animal could not find
a way to free itself.
Fig 5: Milking venom from Atrax robustus
I somehow managed to do this
with the help of an assistant and
36
by following an abundance of
precautionary measures; fortunately,
electric stimulation as mentioned in
the literature or even demonstrated
on YouTube was not necessary. There
was a bit of confusion as to the naming
of the substance. I was of the opinion
that the venom should be designated
differently than the source animal.
Apsinium, for example, is the venom of
the honeybee, Apis mellifica. I therefore
followed this model when I designated
the preparation of the medicinally
potentised venom of the funnelweb spider as Atrax robustisinum.
I was corrected, however, by Jörg
Wichmann, a well-known author who
possesses a profound knowledge of the
materia medica.(4) He pointed out that
for all remedies, regardless of whether
the base substance is poisonous or
not, the name of the genus and species
should be used without suffix or
prefix.
The Benefit of Adverse Publicity
It seems interesting and noteworthy
that when homœopathy is criticised
in the media by citing studies that
finally ‘prove’ its ineffectiveness, I
notice a distinct increase in sales from
my laboratory. This has been the case
so often that I now breathe a sigh of
relief when such reports appear on
television and in the newspapers,
and I am thankful that the work of
our opposition can serve as such
helpful publicity. The great thing
about homœopathy is that one cannot
be convinced of its effectiveness
by reading research studies, but
rather by personal experience of the
effects themselves. Just as a physical
experiment never lies, homœopathy
put into practise always shows its
own strengths and weaknesses. My
introduction to homœopathy also
occurred in this way: when I was
still a young student of pharmacy,
my son had recurring battles with
angina and middle ear infections.
Our doctor had prescribed numerous
rounds of antibiotics until he finally
gave us a homœopathic constitutional
therapeutic, Calcarea carbonica C200,
which cured him spontaneously and
permanently. This was 36 years ago
and he has never again suffered a
serious illness.
When I began to devote myself
to the manufacture of remedies, I
started out alone in my parent’s
apothecary establishment, making
mother tinctures according to the
pharmacopoeia under the patient
eye of my father and boss. Today I
employ approximately 100 people in
several different companies all related
to homœopathy. Like everyone, I
sometimes have sleepless nights and
worry about how the decisions I make
will impact the future of my business
and the financial livelihood of my
employees and their families.
One of the goals of my business is
to make sure homœopathy will be
available in the future, and to this
end, to bring the manufacturing
criteria of homœopathic remedies
in line with modern standards for
the production of medicines. This
process is often joined with enormous
bureaucratic hurdles due to the fact
that as a manufacturer, one must
follow legal regulations that do not
always reflect the essential nature of
homœopathy. However that may be,
problems are there to be solved and
are part of the spice of life. This is
also the reason why I am a self-taught
builder of musical instruments and
professionally licensed luthier: the
solution to a technical problem is often
already present; one must simply carry
it through and not be afraid to make
mistakes.
Satisfaction of the Single
Substance
From the outset of my work in
homœopathy, I have subscribed to the
classical school of Samuel Hahnemann,
where a single substance is used
and clear guidelines are presented
to the manufacturer as well as the
practitioner. I do not agree with
treatments composed of several
substances, even though their use
may be arguable or successful in
certain cases. In the great majority of
situations, a single substance from the
repertory is satisfactory. The use of
a ‘shotgun’ method in the form of a
complex mixture of substances is, for
me, a sign that the practitioner has not
learned the proper skills necessary for
therapeutic treatment.
Today there are still new substances
that can find a place in the materia
medica due to relationships in the
plant kingdom (system according
Similia - The Australian Journal of Homœopathic Medicine
June 2015—Volume 27 Number 1
to Scholten)(5). The acquisition and
potentising of these represents the
majority of my work in the last several
years. The group of imponderabilia,
which is difficult to categorise, should
also be mentioned here. Remedies
such as Sol and Luna, although they
may be traced back to Hahnemann,
are not unproblematic, especially
because the odd way in which they
are manufactured fuels the fire of
criticism directed at homœopathy.
The saturation of lactose with
moonlight during constant stirring
cannot be taken seriously and
belongs to the world of metaphysics.
There are unfortunately numerous
such substances today that for this
same reason must be banned from
the materia medica. Examples are:
Excrementum canii(6), Vacuum (7), Ignis
alcoholis(8), Mirror, One Thousand
German Marks (Tausend Deutsche
Mark), etc. How can one justify the
potentising of distilled water when
water is often used as a carrier in
remedies? As potentisation in and
of itself?(9) I came across just such a
critique on the website of a Canadian
sceptic – and must admit I fully agree.
cientifically based substances
The mission of my manufacturing
business is to exclusively provide
scientifically based substances, which
presently number more than 5500
individual remedies. Any producer,
anywhere in the world, should
be able to make a remedy from a
material substance according to the
guidelines of the materia medica. We
have hopefully learned our lesson
from the case of Tarentula cubensis(10),
a remedy that resulted from a unique
predicament: the container for the
spider accidently broke during
transport and a fungus had spread
over the specimen before it was
potentised. This remedy cannot be
made today due to a complete lack of
knowledge about the identity of the
fungus and we are dependent solely
upon historical sources.
At present, I have established a
new laboratory(11) for the purpose
of producing nosodes and
sarcodes according to the latest
official standards of quality and
documentation as required by
regulatory authorities. There seems
to be a belief, that circulates from
Similia - The Australian Journal of Homœopathic Medicine
June 2015—Volume 27 Number 1
time to time in homœopathy, that
nosodes are not officially permitted,
and this discussion does not actually
address the core issue of the problem.
To revitalise those nosodes that
are already registered requires an
extensive amount of documentation,
much more than that required for the
initial registration. Due to the very
small demand for these substances,
this represents an excessive amount
of work and financial investment for
most producers. It is precisely this
work I would like to perform in my
new laboratory in order to provide
other producers with nosodes and all
their required documentation
know when it was time to leave and
was never threatened or even robbed.
I set out on my first expedition to
the Amazon due to a fascination and
desire for orchids. A book on British
orchid collectors at the turn of the
nineteenth century(12) inspired me so
much that I decided to travel alone to
Manaus and see what it was like. At
more or less the same time, I received
a commission from Jean Pierre Jansen
to collect the source substance for
the remedy Pyrarara, mentioned in
Anschutz’s ‘New, Old, and Forgotten
Remedies’.(13) It is indicated for leprosy

For decades, the government of
Costa Rica has committed itself
to the protection of the country’s
environment and has implemented
a series of subsidised programmes.
Many years ago, rewards were
paid for the killing of snakes. After
a few months, the rat population
exploded and the programme was
declared a failure. The politicians of
Costa Rica then wisely decided from
that point onward to provide the
country’s citizens with rubber boots.
The rat plague gradually subsided.

closely evaluate the intentions of
pharmaceutical companies who

on animals and plants is involved.
They have already had too many
bad experiences where the country’s
resources have been appropriated
by external entities, as for example,
the American patents that forbid the
country’s natural products to be used
by their own people.
I also went through these rigorous
regulatory channels and have
apparently been granted the first
research permit in Costa Rica for a
homœopathic manufacturer. In the
meantime I have planted 1600 trees in
an area where 30 years ago the jungle
was cut down to make pasture. This
has also helped alleviate my guilt
about the tropical woods I use to make
musical instruments (I require about
ten kg a year).
Above all, my heart and a deep
appreciation of the country’s beauty
and natural diversity have led me
to Costa Rica. It is a bit like falling
in love: rational thinking is low on
the list; it is all about emotion and
passion. Before purchasing this piece
of primary forest I asked my financial
advisor for his opinion. He basically
said it was not a wise decision from
a business point of view and I would
never see the money again, but it may
earn me a place in heaven. I’m not sure
if I really want to go to heaven, I’m
worried it would be too boring there.
