Prevention

 

“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.”

 

                                                                  - Thomas A. Edison (1847-1931)

 

 

This quotation of the American inventor Thomas Edison is a guideline for us in the area of preventive medicine. The care for a healthy life-style is also prevention of illness according to Chinese Medicine. Our nutrition can be the source of health, the strength for healing as well as the cause of disease. The effective management and prevention of illnesses such as metabolic problems  have to start with recognizing and treating the cause, e.g. hormonal imbalance. Anti-aging or happy aging means being able to maintain vitality and well-being even in old age. This could be achieved through the supplementation of vitamins and trace elements in the sense of orthomolecular medicine and through the treatment with bio-identical hormones.

 

An important measure in this area is the regular preventive examination for adults as well as for children, with the goal of the early diagnosis of disease. By discovering where the weak points of the body are and dealing with them early, we hope to prevent more serious illness later.
