Oligotherapy

Oligotherapy is also known as trace element therapy and was first established in 1919 when a French doctor, Dr Sutter realised that a medication based on solutions of trace elements in low doses (manganese and copper solutions) worked very successfully on patients with arthritis and TB.

Oligotherapy has now been significantly proven through major scientific studies for over fifty years.

European medical practitioners for over 100 years commonly prescribe Oligotherapy (or the use of trace elements) addressing a variety of issues including; allergies, fatigue, inflammation, skin problems and stress. 
 

Oligotherapy is a natural medical practice that involves the use of trace elements (the minerals required by the body in very small amounts), helping to regulate the body’s biological processes and treat various health conditions. If the body’s trace elements are out of balance it can lead to mental and physical dis -ease in the body.

Oligotherapy addresses any imbalances, blockages or deficiencies of these trace elements supporting the restoration back to positive health.​

​

Trace elements (micro elements) are required in much smaller amounts than the larger macro elements that are predominantly required by the body for creating the bodys tissues - in fact trace elements represent just 0.02% of the body and their job is to trigger an action within the cells of the body (called a catalytic action).

This action is essential to activate the proteins (enzymes) that speed up a chemical reactions within the body.

Without trace elements the cells cannot function correctly. Some macro minerals eg calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and sulphur can be used in the body for both tissue building as well as acting as catalysts for the cells essential chemical reactions to take place.

Colleen O'Flaherty - the trainer for therapists of Bioligo trace elements in the UK and has worked with the Swiss research facility for over thirty years, explains below why we need trace element supplements:

​

“Health issues, no matter how minor, are a reliable indication that our trace element requirement is not being met. Oligotherapy can identify deficiencies from very early symptoms that can include; headaches, minor digestive problems, menstrual and sleep issues to more serious or chronic conditions.

​

In an ideal world we would obtain all our trace element requirements from our diet, but sadly an increasing amount of our food is produced from soil that is depleted in vital trace elements or has been contaminated by chemical-based pesticides which causes blockages to the cellular absorption of trace elements.

Equally, our modern world presents many challenges that cause the rapid depletion of trace elements from our bodies, often faster than we can replace them with just diet. Causes can include:​ stress, change in seasons, inadequate sleep and or nutrition, pollution, too little or too much exercise etc.

​

Although the complexes need to be administered by trained Oligotherapists they are safe for everyone regardless of a persons age or condition of health and can also be taken during pregnancy.​​​

​In order to have the quickest and most effective action the doses from one or more of the 18 bottled liquid Bioligo complexes are recommended to be taken orally.

The minute doses needed by each individual are carefully established by the Swiss laboratories (who are regarded as the pioneers of Oligotherapy/TraceElement Therapy).
