About the Physis Foundation
The following paragraphs will provide some information about us. We will try to guide you through our thoughts on infectious disease, intercultural cooperation, how medicine can contribute to war zones in a peace process and why we believe that innovative ideas in medicine will play a crucial role in the evolution of societies in low-income countries.
Enjoy reading!
The Physis Foundation investigates innovative ideas in the field of epidemic diseases and war trauma. All the projects organized by the Physis Foundation are done either in collaboration with ministries of health or other governmental organisations. Currently, we are active in Guinée/Conakry and Afghanistan.
We research co-factors contributing to the evolution of infectious disease. We try to evaluate in a systemic way factors contributing to the emergence of infectious diseases. There is no doubt that microbes are the key trigger in the evolution of a clinical picture in infectious diseases. Yet co-factors seem to give the clinical picture its individual form. Seeing the origins and clinical evolution of an infectious disease from a systemic perspective is very helpful to understanding better patients’ individual ways of coping with the disease. It furthermore opens up new concepts for treatment.
Multi-causality in the evolution of infectious diseases like the impact of specific trauma like war trauma or rape motivated to us to reach out to partners in war-affected countries. In 2019 the foundation extended its activity and started working with partners in Afghanistan.
The individual reactivity towards parasites, bacteria or viruses depends on the individual’s reactivity. Traumatic experiences can significantly impact immune responses to microbiological stress. We chose Afghanistan to study war trauma as a co-factor in the evolution of epidemic diseases.
Approaching infectious disease form a systemic perspective shows the potential and limitations of conventional treatments like antibiotics, anti-virals or anti-parasitic medication. Clinical observation has shown that addressing co-factors can make a significant contribution to improving patients health suffering from infectious diseases. Clinical observation shows that amplification of a maximum of adaptive response (the somatic and psychological level of the patients needs to be addressed) is the ideal way to restore health. To achieve this an approach is needed to that is not drug-based, but information-based. This can be achieved by imprinting disease-specific information in water. We call the approach Source Medicine. It can be considered a disease-specific approach based on homoeopathic principles.
We chose the name Physis as it has its origin in Greek mythology and represents the goddess of nature. We are convinced that the best way to support and help people with medical problems is to follow nature’s plan.
