Two developments have brought a wealth of new diagnostic procedures to medicine in recent years - the miniaturization and the digitization of information. Both contributed to the near-complete decoding of the human genome around the turn of the millennium, which has since delivered key insights into the origins of health and disease.
This forms the foundation of cutting-edge molecular biological diagnostic methods, which make diagnoses increasingly precise and specific. Whereas classic blood tests used to capture only a few metabolic parameters, perhaps with additional vitamin, trace element, and immune parameter analysis, today there is a wide range of tests providing ever more accurate data - for example, in cases of allergies and intolerances.
Many people - an estimated 20 to 30 million in Germany - show allergic reactions to certain substances. Millions more suffer from food intolerances such as lactose (milk sugar), gluten (wheat protein), fructose (fruit sugar), or histamine. Symptoms often include skin reactions, joint pain, asthma, or diarrhea - and conventional tests often fail to identify a clear cause, especially when the triggers are pathogens like Borrelia, chlamydia, or yeast fungi.
But such tentative diagnoses are now a thing of the past. It is now possible to clearly determine which substances are triggering immune reactions like fever or inflammation, and which cross-reactions are occurring in allergies. The proteins or immune complexes that trigger these reactions can then be removed from the body using blood apheresis and special filtration techniques.
Afterwards, we rebuild the immune system using naturopathic methods, depending on the individual issue, with
One especially important foundation for the organism is dental health: Symptoms often arise only after costly and stressful dental restorations - for example, when metals are not tolerated. This does not only apply to the long-debated toxic mercury; even materials considered biocompatible such as titanium and gold can cause individual problems. The immune system often reacts to alloys or organic degradation products like mercaptans or thioethers, which burden the body.
Immunobiological testing can precisely identify which substances are problematic for the body. It is especially advisable to test planned materials individually before undergoing dental procedures. Interference fields in the oral and jaw area can also be eliminated using neural therapy.

Regular check-ups are a key part of preventive healthcare. They should include more than just the usual analyses of blood lipids, hormones, and inflammation markers. That's why our practice offers, in addition to standard general medical lab tests that provide a general health overview (basic check-up), a customized immune monitoring tailored precisely to each patient's individual needs.
