Not only treat the symptoms, but also neutralize their causes
The extended medicine considers the human being as a whole: apart from purely physical aspects like the condition of the organs, the locomotor system, the blood and the immune system also the interactions between the organism and its environment as well the patient’s nature and therefore the disease’s nature are taken into consideration.
Just like a tree cannot grow and flourish in a polluted and intoxicated environment, a human being can be taken ill due to many causes which can be found in the outside world. Often not only accidents, viruses or bacteria are responsible for the development of a disease, but also the constant burden of heavy metals, invisible toxins at high concentrations, contamination of water, food production or radiation and so on. Thus increases analogously to the burden of our environment the inability of the human body to control the constant attacks. The human gets chronically ill – more often – younger and younger – the rate of so-called incurable diseases increases and the medicine and the pharmaceutical industry are on the boom.
Also the changes of our life situation play a significant, but unfortunately too often neglected role. The psycho-social factor and our parting society let the human being become lonely. An everyday-life rhythm becomes very rare.
Therefore, it is important not only to define and to treat the patient’s symptoms, but to examine his entire life situation and develop concepts and solutions together. With integral methods, i.e. with the use of measures from the orthodox and complementary medicine, one can help the patient find his centre and wholeness again.
