Their standard
cancer protocol is a week of detoxification and the strengthening of the
immune system with diet and nutritional supplements, followed by two
weeks of localized hyperthermia treatment and low-dose
chemotherapy.
In addition to conventional medicine
(surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy) they offer nutritional
supplements, detoxification, biological/nontoxic
treatments that include phytotherapy, mistletoe, hormones, cytokines, biological response modifiers,
immune therapy, hyperthermia, Galvanotherapy, and psychological therapies including group therapy,
guided imagery and art therapy.
We have received some positive and some
negative reports on this clinic. We
have heard they have done well with some prostate and breast cancers. However,
the complaints we have received include: Some people have not
been told upfront that it many need to go back to
the clinic two or three times to complete treatment. Their standard
program runs about $6,000 per week, with whole body hyperthermia costs
an additional $2500 per session, so the cost to go two or three times
can be prohibitive. We have heard they will consider financial
constraints. We have also heard that some insurance
companies will cover treatments at this facility. A couple of
people said they were told
that their tumors had reduced in size or that their cancer was gone,
without adequate testing to verify this. Be sure you have appropriate
tests to confirm how the treatment is working. Many find this clinic to be
too conventional, so be sure to understand this in an
"integrated" clinic. Patients are not always warned how
taxing hyperthermia can be or that the low dose chemo can still have
side effects, including hair loss. Be sure to ask about this.
There have also been a couple of complaints about the food.
The most positive reports we are hearing
are coming from those with prostate cancer who did their complete
program, not just the hyperthermia and low dose chemo.
Per the clinic, you can contact a doctor
weekdays (German time - they are 10 hours ahead of
us) for a consultation. However, we have found the best way to contact
them is by fax, sending your medical records for evaluation. If you email, they
say it sometimes takes a few days to get back to you, so faxing seems to
be the best option.
