oligotherapy

Man has used the trace elements for medical purposes since ancient times, without knowing its chemical nature, or what functions are performed in organic, it was therefore a purely empirical use.

oligotherapy The term, from the greek = little oligos, indicating a therapeutic method based on the administration of trace elements in low dose, the order of a millionth of a gram.

In a broader sense, also uses the oligotherapy mineral elements that are not properly trace elements, but the group of elements plastic (sulfur, phosphorus) or more of the elements (magnesium, potassium).

In 1894 Gabriel Bertrand emphasizes the essential role played by trace elements such as biocatalysts, ie accelerators of chemical reactions in plant and animal biology. He succeeds in asserting (in open polemic with the views of the time believed that the presence of impurities such as trace elements): "The body is a kind of oligarchy in which enormous numbers of passive components are dominated by a small number of catalysts. In the '20s

JU Sutter is successfully eczema and bronchial asthma , with a oil-based preparation Manganese and Copper.

In the 30s, the French physician Jacques Menetrier experiences the preparation of TB in Sutter, obtaining favorable results on a group of patients with well-defined characteristics. Then introduce the systematic use of trace elements in therapy, defining the 'catalytic oligotherapy . The catalytic oligotherapy is based on trace elements such as bio-catalysts in the treatment of functional and events on the theory of " diathesis. From a quantitative point of view, the optimal activity is carried out for an intake of trace elements in 'order millionth of a gram.

Menetrier disease stated that, before causing the organic lesions initially affects trading biochemical phones. E 'at this level of the trace elements that act. He discovered that in fact these elements, when administered in certain doses and in a certain physical and chemical form, restoring the balance of trade in mobile phones, with effects on both physical and on the psychic. Menetrier's research have been brought forward to the present day and made it possible to assess quantitatively and qualitatively the role of trace elements in the cell.

elective indication for treatment with trace elements are functional disorders, non-lesional. For this reason we introduce the term Functional Medicine to indicate the clinical and therapeutic method for the study and treatment of these disorders.

were defined those trace elements that play an essential for life and for that reason, should be regularly taken with food, to the extent of mg or micrograms per day. Trace elements are essential: Fluorine, Selenium, Cobalt, Chromium, Copper, Iron, Manganese, Molybdenum, Nickel, Vanadium, Zinc and Silicon . They should have these characteristics:

1. are present in all tissues;
2. have a relatively constant concentration;
3. in case of failure, cause structural alterations and physiological
4. if given, prevent or cure the alterations caused by the shortage.

trace elements, therefore, while performing important functions, are found in very small doses (from the greek = little oligos) and, according to the definition of a madman in the mid-70s, they are present in concentrations equal to or less than 0.01% the dry weight of the human body.
