Modern medicine has achieved many triumphs but shown little success with the chronic and degenerative diseases that are common today. So many patients come to us after years of treatment with drugs, surgery or radiation, too often with little real benefit. In fact, their conventional treatment has commonly caused them great suffering.

Biological Medicine takes a very different approach. The human organism has the lifelong power to heal and regenerate itself. At Paracelsus, we rekindle that power with natural methods. We focus on the original causes of the disorder and the unique story of each patient.

In our view, the natural state of the body is health. Its regulatory systems maintain that wellness despite the occasional threat. But those systems are impaired by outside factors, such as toxins, stress and poor nutrition. When this happens, disruption develops, followed by symptoms, and lastly, a 'diagnosed' disease.

Conventional medicine is focused on the treatment of symptoms, not the underlying causes of disease. It is not surprising that conventional treatments so often fail to heal the patient. Unless the root causes of the illness are resolved, the body will continue to fall back into dis-ease.

Biological Medicine has a long tradition dating back to the historical Paracelsus over 500 years ago and other ancient medical practices all around the world. Switzerland has a distinct heritage especially in the Appenzell area were natural medicine has tradition with more than 251 registered healers who are permitted to dispense they own remedies.

Biological medicine is by now a complete system of diagnostic and therapeutic methods. With this approach, applied individually and comprehensively, we can offer almost all our patients hope and progress, even in difficult cases.
