“The biologically oriented doctor is aware that with chemical and antibiotic drugs he will always cause damage to the host organism’s biological milieu, even though with such treatments he can achieve a temporary effect. Therefore, he avoids to the utmost the use of such drugs in the management of simple and harmless infections. To treat a common cold or a sore throat with, for example, penicillin, for him is a crime against the fundamental rules of health. Instead, his attention is directed to increasing the body’s own resistance with all the natural, harmless, biological methods of treatment which are available.”

“In your experience, Dr. Essen, are the results of such biological treatments gratifying?” I asked.

“I have had the joy of observing how the body, as a rule, if the general resistance is not too much lowered and if given a chance and proper aid in the form of rest, fasting, wholesome diet, and other biological measures, will by the strength of its own healing power win the battle. And this is not only true in cases of milder infections, but also in cases of very serious diseases. Furthermore—and this is a very essential point—instead of coming out of the disease weakened and debilitated, as is always the case after treatments with chemical drugs, the patient, after biological treatments, comes out strengthened and renewed. It is my observation that biological treatments raise the general resistance of patients and they will, as a rule, become more immune to infections in the future.”

Use of other supplements or medications. Generally speaking, any medication or supplement that has proved helpful previously can be taken concurrently with CMO and need not be discontinued. There are exceptions, however, and those are various strong immunosuppressants and anti-inflammatory prescription medications which can often (but not always) slow down or block the actions of CMO. The medications that have been so identified are Methotrexate, Rheumatrex, Cloroquine, Gold Shots, Prednisone, and other steroids.

On the other hand, CMO has never been shown to interfere with the actions of any other medications or supplements. The use of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and beneficial oil supplements is encouraged.
