Research & HistoryIntroduction | History | Clinical and Medical Trials | Training IntroductionThe Institute of Oligotherapy is the UK office for the Centre de Recherchés et d’Application sur les Oligoelements (CRAO) a Swiss research Centre, and Laboratoire Biologo, their manufacturing laboratory. The CRAO is the pioneer in Europe in the research and applications of catalytic trace elements for humans, animals and vegetation. Their knowledge spans 100 years of experience and scientific research. They have consolidated and expanded the research which has resulted in their formulating a unique biological application based on the use of catalytic trace elementsin a range of complexes. HistoryAs long ago as 1885 Gabriel Bertrand in France identified that trace elements are vital for all living cells. The research continued and is summarised below 1895 GABRIEL BERTRAND (FRANCE) MAINTAINS THAT TRACE ELEMENTS ARE VITAL FOR ALL LIVING CELLS. 1900’S DR J SUTTER (FRANCE) STUDENT OF BROWN SEQUARD, (THE FATHER OF ENDOCRINOLOGY)) ESTABLISHES A MEDICATION BASED ON GLANDULAR EXTRACTS AND IONIZED TRACE ELEMENTS IN SMALL DOSES. MANGANESE AND COPPER WERE PRESCRIBED SUCCESSFULLY FOR ARTHRITIS AND TUBERCULOSIS. 1919 A REPORT PUBLISHED BY DR GUILLY, A SURGEON ON THE BATTLE FIELDS IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR, WHO APPLIED DR SUTTER’S METHODS OF TRACE ELEMENT THERAPY AND RECORDED SENSATIONAL RESULTS ON WOUNDS AND INFECTIONS. 1932 AS HEAD OF AN IMPORTANT PRIVATE CLINIC, DR SUTTER WORKED WITH 20 TRACE ELEMENT PRESCRIPTIONS WHICH WERE MANUFACTURED UNDER THE DIRECTION OF A FIRST CLASS FRENCH CHEMIST. HIS MEDICATIONS WERE REGISTERED WITH LABORATOIRE NATIONALE DU CONTROLE PHARMACEUTIQUE AND WERE READILY ACCEPTED BY DOCTORS AND PATIENTS ALIKE. 1946 DR MENETRIER PROGRESSES THE WORK OF DR SUTTER AND GOES ON TO ESTABLISH THAT TRACE ELEMENTS NOT ONLY ATTACK THE SYMPTOMS, BUT ALSO REINFORCES THE BACKGROUND CONDITION (DIATHESIS) OF THE BODY. HE FURTHER DEVELOPED THE ASSOCIATION OF DIFFERENT TRACE ELEMENTS WITH DIFFERENT DIATHESES: MANGANESE - ARTHRITIC-ALLERGIC; MANGANESE COBALT - DYSTONIC, COPPER - ANERGIC. 1958 DR PICARD, A STUDENT OF DR MENETRIER. FAMOUS FOR USING TRACE ELEMENT THERAPY FOR RHEUMATIC AND ARTHRITIC PROBLEMS, TREATING 50,000 PATIENTS FROM 1958 TO 1978, UNDERTOOK SUCCESSFUL CLINICAL TRIALS DURING THIS PERIOD. 1980 MICHEL DEVILLE, DIRECTOR CENTRE DE RECHERCHES ET D’APPLICATIONS SUR LES OLIGOLEMENTS, SWITZERLAND, CREATES A SIMPLIFIED SYSTEM FOR DR PICARD AND PROGRESSES THE BACKGROUND CONDITIONS TO INCLUDE FOUR BACKGROUND CONDITIONS PLUS AN ADDITIONAL DIATHESIS FOR THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM. . 1982- THE CRAO UNDERTAKE TRIALS AND RESEARCH COVERING HUMAN, PLANT AND ANIMAL DISORDERS. THEY DEVELOP THE THERAPY FROM CLASSICAL CATALYTIC TRACE ELEMENT THERAPY TO THE MODERN TRACE ELEMENT COMPLEXES. THE CENTRE HAS ALSO PIONEERED THE USE OF CATALYTIC TRACE ELEMENTS ANDS OBTAINED RECOGNITION AND REGISTRATION FOR THEIR USE IN PHARMACOLOGY, COSMETICS AND AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS IN SWITZERLAND. Clinical and Medical Trials Undertaken by CRAOThe following is a list of some of the successful clinical and medical trials carried out on the use of catalytic, ionised trace elements in human, animal and plant biology undertaken by CRAO with positive results in all sections. 1. The effect of foliage treatment with trace elements in the vine Full details of the above can be obtained by contacting the Institute. TrainingThe Institute trains people who are already qualified and experienced in a complementary therapy, dentistry, or medicine, vetinerary and equine sciences. Please contact the Institute for further information. |
