In addition to high-dose vitamin therapy, orthomolecular medicine is discussed below in the context of complementary tumor and cancer therapy.
A balanced diet is also the basis for maintaining and restoring health in tumor therapy. In addition to oxygen, our organism absorbs the necessary chemical building blocks for all metabolic processes through our diet.
However, various studies show that a balanced diet with proteins, carbohydrates and fats is not sufficient to provide all the nutrients required for healthy cell metabolism, the corresponding energy balance, cell regeneration and the control of bodily functions.
On the one hand, the quality of our food has deteriorated significantly, and on the other, many of the so-called vital substances are no longer available in sufficient quantities in our diet. Our body is therefore dependent on supplementary vital substances in the form of vitamins and trace elements, fats, amino acids and enzymes. Orthomolecular medicine makes use of this knowledge and substitutes these substances. The aim is to prevent deficiency symptoms and compensate for deficiencies.
Many diseases, especially cancer, show a significantly increased need for vital substances. Cancer patients in particular often have a pronounced imbalance between calorie and vital substance intake, impaired liver, intestinal and kidney function and a weakened immune system. The latter is often also due to chemotherapeutic, radiological and surgical therapies, which have numerous side effects.
Vitamins, vital substances and antioxidants administered before, during and after chemotherapy offer healthy cells optimized protection against the side effects of conventional cancer treatment. They also offer protection against new cell degeneration.
In addition to selenium, zinc, methionine and vitamins A, C and E, other antioxidants and various enzymes, amino acids also play an important role in our complementary therapy. These can be supplied to the body both orally (by mouth) and by infusion.
The orthomolecular concomitant therapy offered in our practice by means of peroral and intravenous substitution of vitamins, antioxidants and enzymes strengthens the body's own defenses and can help to slow tumor growth. It increases the individual tolerance of conventional conventional medical therapy and can prevent recurrence and metastasis.
High-dose vitamin therapy is also suitable for post-operative conditions and chronic illnesses such as prolonged infections. Our practice has developed specific combinations of medication in the form of infusion therapies that have a restorative and regenerative effect, alleviate therapy-related side effects and strengthen the body's own healing power.
