Sanum-Kehlbeck GmbH & Co. KG is a family run company based in northern Germany, manufacturing high quality, potentised microbiological remedies, herbal, nutritional and pH-balancing products. The biological healing tradition of Sanum-Kehlbeck is rapidly gaining interest worldwide and Sanum products are now used regularly by over 30,000 medical and natural health practitioners.

Much of Sanum-Kehlbeck's work is based on the pioneering and extensive research of the German microbiologist Prof. Dr. Günther Enderlein (1872 - 1968) whose main book Bacteria Cyclogeny was published in 1925. In his 60 year career, Enderlein made profound discoveries about the nature of chronic diseases. He wrote over 500 scientific papers, was a journal editor, lectured internationally and founded the IBICA Institute for microbiological research into health. Enderlein also became the production manager for Sanum, a company formed in 1932 for the manufacture of bacterial remedies for immunobiological health.

Enderlein's major contribution was to pleomorphism, the concept that microbes can assume numerous forms within a developmental cycle, starting from virus-sized particles, progressing to bacteria and then fungi. These microbial forms exist throughout the body from birth and are symbiotic or pathogenic according to the conditions of the inner environment. By contrast, modern medicine rests on the monomorphistic view that microbes exist primarily in one form and mainly attack the body from the outside.

Enderlein made his observations of human microflora using live blood and a darkfield microscope, an increasingly popular diagnostic technique. Enderlein also discovered a natural bioregulatory process by which the inner microbial ecosystem maintains a healthy balance. He identified the regulators as 'symbionts' that restore 'symbiosis equilibrium', which for him represented an ideal state of health. From this insight, Enderlein developed his unique isopathic remedies derived from fungal cultures. Of particular significance for health were the life cycles of Mucor racemosus and Aspergillus niger, which he discovered to be fundamental in the microflora of all humans and mammals, along with Candida and various species of Penicillium. In any such microbial life cycle, virulent forms can be returned to harmless avirulent forms with the respective isopathic remedy.

Enderlein's close confidant for many decades, Mr. Heinrich Kehlbeck, bought Sanum with all its rights and trademarks in 1975 and merged it with the IBICA Institute to create Sanum-Kehlbeck GmbH & Co. KG. Enderlein gave the Kehlbeck family exclusive custodianship of all his original microbial cultures, specialized production knowledge and sole rights to use his work. Sanum-Kehlbeck still retains the official registrations for all of these original products. Its more recently developed products are registered with the medical authorities in Germany and in other European countries. They are also approved by the FDA in America and registered in Australia. Certain individual products are now also registered in China and South Africa.

The name Sanum is derived from the Latin word 'sanus' meaning healthy. Sanum-Kehlbeck emphasises an ecological approach to health by aiding regulation of the microflora permeating the body. Sanum therapy uses various potentised microbial remedies, supported by nutritional and herbal products, to rebalance the 'soil' out of which diseases emerge. Enderlein described disease as primarily a manifestation of the 'endobiosis' (the Mucor cycle), to which he saw similarities to the psora miasm as defined by Hahnemann. He also described the 'paratuberculosis' (the Aspergillus cycle) as another significant miasm underlying many chronic conditions. Most of the Sanum remedies work at this deep miasmatic level to increase overall constitutional and immune vitality.

Sanum-Kehlbeck is dedicated to research and development, working closely with German and international universities, scientific research institutes and clinics as well as individual medical and natural health practitioners. In addition to the original Enderlein remedies Sanum has developed a number of newer, potentised fungal and bacterial remedies. For example, one of these newly developed ranges is the Sanukehls, which contains potentised 'haptens' based on cell wall polysaccharide extracts from various bacteria and fungi.

At a time when microbial imbalances and chronic diseases are on the rise, the Sanum remedies have an increasingly significant role for the well-being of humans and animals. For further information on Enderleinian microbiology, please refer to the book list.
