Thomas Rau, 2007

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This book, which is not only about a special diet and form of nutrition, but also about a very deep-healing form of biological medicine and a healthful way of living, came to life because I was asked again and again by many patients who came to the Paracelsus Clinic in Switzerland to record my recipes, so they could continue to follow our diet when they returned home. Many also wanted a greater understanding of Swiss biological medicine and of the benefits they were experiencing physically.

It is thanks to my partners in the United States, especially Margie and Michael Baldwin and the Marion Institute they founded, that I began to collect our recipes and write about the principles of Swiss biological medicine in language for the layman. It is thanks to Barbara Christian, director of the Paracelsus Biological Medicine Network, who organized me, stood behind me, and pushed me, that I finally began to write my work down. Barbara also brought me together with chef and cookbook author Kathi Long, who has since moved to join us at Paracelsus and is now chef at our clinic restaurant.

Without Kathi, I wouldnt have met my co-author, Susan Wyler, who made it possible to complete this book and who brought my theories and my work into a language that is understandable for everyone. Over and over, Susan questioned me and insisted I explain everything. Thank you, dear Susan, for all your endless work and dedication to my work. Without you this book would have never been born.

Thanks also to my excellent publisher, Berkley Books, and to our discerning editor, Denise Silvestro, who understood my work from the beginning and was so instrumental in creating this beautiful book.

Learning biological medicine is a lifelong path filled with dedication, respect of nature, and love. It requires intuitive learning and association with many teachers and philosophers. There were several on my path:

My friend and former teacher, Dr. Konrad Werthmann, who researched food allergies for more than 30 years and who taught me about his professor, Dr. Gnther Enderlein. He was also the first to show me the correlation between hidden food allergies and chronic diseases. Konrad, I learned a lot from you!

Mr. Jrg Binz, who introduced me to the Sanum Remedies. In 1990, we decided to take over the Paracelsus Clinic together, which gave me the opportunity to treat my patients with widespread Paracelsus Biological Medicine remedies, milieu therapy, and diet.

Thanks to all my friends and teachers in Germany and Austria, including Professor Arno Rost and Dr. Jochen Gleditsch, as well as my colleagues in the United States, including Dr. James Odell.

Many thanks also to my supporters in the United States, especially Mr. Rainer Kehlbeck, owner of the Sanum Kehlbeck company, and their U.S. representatives, Mrs. Christyne Jackson and Colonel Felix Mller of Pleomorphic Product Sales, Inc.

All my work, my many seminars, my presence in our cooperative clinics all over the world, and my writing would not be possible without my Paracelsus Clinic Lustmhle, Switzerland, where my colleagues and partners have supported me for so many years in their daily work. Special thanks to my friend and partner from the beginning, Dr. Victor von Toenges, M.D., from whom I learned anthroposophical medicine. He imbues the clinic with sense of continuity and humanity.

Thanks to Irene Guler, whose vegetarian alkaline cooking in our hotel and clinic created such a demand for our recipes.

I also want to thank Mr. Ronald Sutter, our information officer and chief secretary of the Verlag der Paracelsus Klinik (publications and editions) for all his detail work, and my chief secretary, Mrs. Rosemary Lutz, who organizes me so well here in Switzerland.

Dr. Thomas M. Rau, M.D.

There are many people who were involved in the production of this book whom Id like to thank:

Chef Kathi Long, who first thought Dr. Raus nutrition should be codified and recorded in a book.

Barbara Christian, director of the Paracelsus Biological Medicine Network, who refers patients every day and who generously introduced me to the seminars in this country and helped me understand biological medicine at the outset.

Michael and Margie Baldwin, whose support of the Biological Medicine Network has been invaluable.

My excellent editor, Denise Silvestro, who understood from the outset what this book is all about; and assistant editor Katie Day, for all her attention to detail; and agent Jane Dystel, who found us a good home.

Christian and Irene Guler, whose hospitality in Switzerland helped make this book possible.

All those who helped me with the recipes: Kathi Long, Irene Guler, Peggy Fallon, and Ken Charney.

Elisabeth Rau, whose keen eye and knowledge of both cooking and nutrition helped vet all the recipes in the book.

And, of course, special thanks to Dr. Thomas Rau, whose lifes work offers hope to so many.

Susan Wyler

FOREWORD

The evolution of medicine moves slowly. The Swiss Secret to Optimal Health by Dr. Thomas Rau takes medicine to the next level of evolution. Over 125 million Americans suffer from chronic disease for which there is little more than remedial treatment to suppress symptoms with drugs that interfere with or block normal physiology.

Dr. Rau presents a new vision of healing that addresses chronic disease in a revolutionary way. He practices medicine in the tradition of William Osler, one of the founding fathers of modern medicine, who said, It is more important to treat the patient that has the disease, than the disease that the patient has.

Swiss biological medicine is a way of seeing health and disease that does exactly that. The principles of this new medicine shift dramatically from trying to find the name of the disease (or diseases) that a person has to a deep understanding of the underlying causes of disease (such as toxins, infections, allergens, stress), and ways to remove those causes and then help support and encourage the bodys natural healing systems. The disease, then, takes care of itself. This is what America needs in a spiraling epidemic of chronic disease and escalating health care costs.
