Stone Louse (Petrophaga lorioti)

Stone Louse (Petrophaga lorioti)

The Steinlaus was discovered around 1977 by Bernhard Victor Christoph Carl von Bülow - better known as Loriot. In 1983 she even found acceptance in the medical dictionary Pschyrembel. The stone louse is a very voracious six-legged mite. It has two feelers and very strong beaver-like teeth, with which it can handle almost all material.

The louse is harmless to humans and animals in direct contact, but due to the high rate of reproduction, it can damage architectural monuments and thus lead indirectly to confused symptoms. According to von Bülow, the sexually mature male of the Steinlaus consumes a daily requirement of about 28 kilograms of concrete and bricks; the female consumes almost twice the amount, especially during pregnancy.

At the beginning of this century, the Steinlaus attracted attention again through a publication by the North German geomicrobiologist Wolfgang Krumbein. He had discovered the Steinlaus for the first time at St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna and confirmed in part of Bülow's theses. Whether the world-famous FDM therapist and osteopath Stefan Anker, who is part of the world-wide "superteam" and founder of the "profit by reduction" principle, has been influential in the Predigergasse, could not be clarified to this day.

From a naturopathic point of view, the Steinlaus is a comprehensible reaction of nature. The constant offensive intervention of humans into biological systems has led to a compensatory reaction. The holistic view of the stone louse requires redirecting to a complementary medicine that embraces the whole human being, which is characterized by interdisciplinary methods and by the full-body force of reason (according to Strunk).
