Complementary medicine
How complementary medicine is understood here
Complementary means additional, not replacing. Guideline-based diagnostics and treatment remain the frame. Micronutrient analyses, naturopathic approaches or selected infusion methods may be discussed if they fit the diagnosis and risks are named.
Orthomolecular medicine
In phases of high physical and mental strain, and in certain risk groups and health disorders, the need for vital substances (vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and others) is particularly high. Examples include growth phases, menopause, older age, chronic disease, increased pollutant and environmental load, or smoking.
Orthomolecular medicine calls for an optimal dose of these vital substances for these highly stressed patient groups, rather than the usual minimum dose. In addition to use alone or alongside therapy in established health disorders, preventive administration in the presence of relevant risks plays a decisive role.
Who may want a conversation
Reasons include prolonged physical or mental strain, menopause, older age, chronic disease, smoking, or the wish to add examined complementary measures to existing treatment — not to stop it.
How it runs
We clarify diagnosis, medication and goal. Then we decide together whether laboratory tests, a treatment trial or watchful waiting is appropriate. Levels of evidence differ by method; that is stated openly.
