The Alpstein Clinic in Gais, Switzerland, is situated deceptively quietly in the Swiss Alps; despite its location, its holistic biological medicine approach has both a national and international reach.

Holistic biological medicine aims to understand and harness the body’s own natural healing ability. With a focus on this innate healing process, the Alpstein Clinic uses a four-stage approach to deeply understand the story of the body, mind, soul and environment for each person. This entails spending a significant amount of time with their patients – with the first visit lasting up to an hour – and collecting a substantial amount of information to investigate and analyze what is really going on in each situation.

On top of this, the Alpstein Clinic works from an integrative philosophy. One of their immediately notable qualities is the fact that all of their practitioners are medical doctors who have chosen to practice holistic biological medicine. This provides an extremely solid base of expertise from which they can perform and examine health analyses, and facilitate regeneration and health for patients. The key aspect is that the doctors at the Alpstein Clinic prioritize natural health and healing, but also respect the important role of allopathic medicine in appropriate situations. What they do differently is focus first on how each situation can be prevented and/or treated without medication or invasive therapies.

To achieve this, in the first of their four-stage approach, the designated doctor for a patient conducts a comprehensive physical examination and runs extensive analyses, which may include exploring possible imbalances inside of the body (e.g. nutritional deficiencies) as well as influential factors outside of the body (e.g. environmental factors). Based on discussions with their patients and analysis of the collected information, they make a diagnosis and health plan.

In stage two, the focus is on balancing and strengthening the body’s internal environment to enable healing, which may include things such as organ detoxification or pain management. In stage three, the aim is regeneration and stimulating the immune system via non-specific and specific immune stimulants, and in the last stage, the aim is to harmonize all aspects of the body, mind and soul.

While a main doctor is assigned to each patient, the practitioners work in close communication with each other throughout the treatment process, and patients may be referred to see a number of the on-site specialists depending on the situation.

Stages two-three are all targeted with the personal health plan and can include a selection of specialized treatments depending on the plan, including

• Inuspheresis (to purify blood plasma)
• Various infusion therapies
• Hyperthermia/fever therapy
• Neural therapy
• Ozone therapy
• Autohemotherapy with PRP
• Naturopathic medicines
• Detoxification therapy
• Energetic medicine and psycho-harmonization
• Massages/physical therapies
• Holistic dentistry
• Dental hygiene

The Alpstein Clinic’s approach to health is exceptionally comprehensive in that their practice is holistic, and although they have main indications in which they are experts, they treat people of all ages and conditions. When they do not have experts in a particular condition, they work with the specialists that need be involved by drawing on their wider network.

Although they treat any stage of a health condition, they still prioritize prevention and it is most ideal to work with patients as early as possible. Currently, many patients seek out approaches like holistic biological medicine after having exhausted other therapeutic options. While the Alpstein Clinic can and does support such cases, the earlier patients can build their own internal healing processes, the better it can support their overall health.

While holistic biological medicine falls outside of the realm of conventional medicine and full insurance coverage, a visit to the Alpstein Clinic for those who want their health to be deeply and holistically fostered is likely to be well worth it. Their mission above all is to do everything they can to help and support their patients.
