Evidence-based, interdisciplinary and multidimensional – the 4-Stage Concept of the Alpstein Clinic

1. Cause Analysis

In the first stage, we analyze possible causes of your complaints together with you. This includes checking for toxic burdens, environmental factors, deficiencies, malnutrition, and stress factors. This is followed by a comprehensive physical examination and further diagnostic measures such as blood, stool, saliva, and urine tests, thermography, etc.

2. Detoxification & Relief

The second stage focuses on a balanced internal environment of the body, which forms the basis for later healing success. Important tools include dental restoration, intestinal rehabilitation, or detoxification of the organs – especially the liver. In this phase, holistic pain therapy can also be a crucial means to manage pain without the side effects of conventional medicine.

3. Regeneration & Biostimulation

The third stage is entirely dedicated to regeneration. A wide range of nonspecific and specific immunostimulants are also used to stimulate the humoral (antibody-mediated immune response) and cellular (primarily mediated by T lymphocytes) defenses. Stimulating and revitalizing all organs and bodily structures is our focus.

4. Harmonization & Consciousness

The fourth stage focuses on aligning the levels of body, mind, and soul. Long-term complete health is only possible if we value and accept ourselves. We provide an environment where you can find your way to yourself, thereby unlocking new energy sources.

Patienten from Australia

“What an amazingly unique specialised healing experience the Alpstein Clinic offers. To have such advanced medical testing and treatments in one clinic, gives you the confidence that every level of the body, mind and soul is being assessed and treated. The doctors (especially Dr Oettmeier), health practitioners and staff work together to help you heal, in a caring environment. Thank you for everything you did for my daughter Jasmin! Warmest regards from both Jasmin and Tash.”

Patient from Lausanne, Switzerland

“Situated in the small and charming village of Gais, the Alpstein Clinic brings back the word “care” in Healthcare. Gentle as it is professional, its staff will make your experience here wonderful. After the second day here you are inspired to become much more attentive and focused on your health. Functional Medicine looks at finding the root cause of your symptoms by addressing all the components that made you sick in the first place as well as looking at all aspects that make true health possible: mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. At the Alpstein Clinic you will be treated like a human being, you will be heard, you will be guided and supported in your journey towards healing. You will also be given your power back, as you are reminded that you can play the most important role in your wellbeing, health and recovery.”

“In the Alpstein Clinic we were cared for and treated at the highest level in biological medicine/dentistry – as individuals with the greatest care and compassion.”

“Visiting the Alpstein clinic has been a life changing experience. All the team go above and beyond to make you feel like you are part of their family.”

Jamie E.
Patient aus Baltimore, U.S.A.

“I was sick for a decade with Lyme disease and co-infections. I had exhausted all of the treatment options in the US including IV antibiotics, oral antibiotics, herbs, accupuncture, physical therapy, chiropractor, and IVIG. Before I found Dr. Oettmeier, I was taking over 25 different prescription medications to manage all of my symptoms. My symptoms included deep nerve pain, muscle pain, headaches, insomnia, anxiety, depression, tremors, vomiting, nausea, stomach pain, rashes, twitching, and more! I struggled to eat due to a diagnosis of gastroparesis; I lost over 50 pounds before finding Dr. Oettmeier. I was hopeless and didn’t think I would ever be able to live a normal, healthy life. After exhausting all treatment options in the United States, my parents found Dr.Oettmeier in March of 2016. By April, I was in Switzerland for a month receiving treatment. The days were long and tiring; I didn’t feel better instantly which was very frustrating to my 24 year old self. However, I returned 3 more times and stuck to my protocol when back in the United States. Slowly, my stomach began to heal and I was able to stop taking all of the prescription medications. Today, over 4 years later, I have graduated from graduate school, I am a therapist, and I just welcomed a sweet baby boy into the world! If it weren’t for Dr. Oettmeier I wouldn’t be here. I am forever grateful to him and his colleagues.”

Patient from Zürich, Switzerland

“Mit der Diagnose „bösartiger Tumor“ suchte ich Möglichkeiten, die Erkrankung nach der operativen Entfernung des Tumors ganzheitlich weiter zu behandeln. Nach einem ausführlichen Erstgespräch entschied ich mich für die Alpstein Clinic. Das Zusammenwirken von biologischer und konventioneller Medizin ermöglicht eine effiziente und wirksame Suche nach den Ursachen einer Erkrankung. Ich fühle mich in dieser fast familiären, bestens ausgestatteten, modernen Klinik in meinem Heilungsweg auf allen Ebenen unterstützt, ermutigt und bestätigt. In Ich danke dem ganzen Team herzlich.”

Patienten from Genf, Switzerland

“Wir sind Patienten dieser wunderbaren Klinik seit ihrer Eröffnung. Die Herzlichkeit beginnt schon an der Tür mit dem warmherzigen Team an der Rezeption. Aber das Beste ist die ganzheitliche Behandlung der engagierten und freundlichen Aerzte, die immer auf der Suche nach dem Grund der Beschwerden sind und ohne reine Symptombekämpfung auskommen. Kurz gesagt, wir können die Alpstein Clinic wärmstens empfehlen, da die ganze Belegschaft ihr Bestes für das Wohl der Patienten gibt.”

Christie Rosen
Patientin from Florida, U.S.A.

“I was blown away by the comprehensive and innovative treatment I received at the Alpstein Clinic. Having had no luck over many years with my chronic health challenges in the United States, I decided to travel all the way to Switzerland for care and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The clinic’s truly holistic approach, state of the art technology and compassionate nature made a tremendous difference in my health. They are perfectly able to blend the medical and the holistic approach to give you the best of both worlds. In addition to their outstanding medical and dental care, every single person at the clinic is warm and nurturing, which really set up a beautiful environment for healing. Each person, from the Doctors, to the Nurses, to the administrative team, worked together to support my process and there was a genuine sense that I was no longer alone in my struggles and that I was truly being taken care of on all levels. To me, this was priceless. I started to make big improvements during the three weeks I was at the clinic and my healing has continued since coming home. I am happy to stay that I have made tremendous progress and I owe it to the Alpstein Clinic. They truly gave me my life back. Thank you so much to everyone at the Alpstein Clinic! I could not recommend them more highly!”

Marie-Elisabeth F.
Patientin from Zeulenroda-Triebes, Germany

“Ich hab die 80 schon überschritten und bin seit einigen Jahren Brillenträger. Im Juni 2020 wurde von der Augenärztin die trockene Makuladegeneration am linken Auge diagnostiziert. Heilungschancen bei dieser Art werden schulmedizinisch ausgeschlossen. Nach einigen Procain-Injektionen um die Augen konnte ich feststellen, dass die verzerrten Zahlen und Buchstaben sich kurzzeitig besserten. Ein Grund mehr für mich, nach weiteren Aktivitäten in Richtung integrativer medizinischer Behandlung zu suchen. Nach einer CHF Behandlung im Oktober erfolgte im Dezember 2020 die INUSpherese in der Alpstein Clinic. Ein anschließender erster Selbsttest zu Hause mit dem Amsler Gitter brachte dann die Überraschung. Die verbogenen Linien sind deutlich besser geworden, Telefonmasten bleiben bis ca. 50 m Entfernung gerade und ich kann längere Zeit ohne Lupe lesen. Der große Hit aber ist das problemlose Einfädeln eines Fadens, was im letzten Jahr noch total unmöglich war. Die erzielten Erfolge machen mich glücklich und dankbar und voller Zuversicht, dass mir mit Gottes Hilfe eine gute Sehkraft auch in den kommenden Jahren erhalten bleibt. Weitere Beschwerden wie Rheuma in den Händen bei Wetterwechsel und das ständige Knistern im rechten Ohr sowie die Magen- und Darmbeschwerden haben sich bis jetzt noch nicht wieder gezeigt.”

E. H.
Patientin from Genf, Switzerland

“Tochter über ihre 83-jährige Mutter (Alzheimer Demenz Patientin): Schon nach der ersten INUSpherese Behandlung begann meine Mama sofort in ganzen Sätzen zu sprechen. Ihr Erinnerungsvermögen liess eine drastische Verbesserung ihres Kurzzeitgedächtnisses erkennen. Unglaublich, sie hat sogar wieder angefangen zu lachen und Witze zu reißen und kann jetzt Gegenstände wiedererkennen. Die Krankenschwestern gingen sehr gut mit ihr um und waren äußerst kompetent und professionell.”

“Das gesamte Team war ausgesprochen freundlich und kooperativ, die Organisation klappte hervorragend. In der nahezu familiären Athmosphäre konnte ich mich sehr gut anvertrauen. Auch die ärztliche Behandlung durch Herrn Dr. Oettmeier, Dr. Vizkelety sowie Frau Herzog war wohltuend einfühlsam, hochkompetent und fallorientiert.”
