Prostate Cancer

Prostate Cancer

We’ve treated hundreds of cases of prostate cancer over the past 25 years at Paracelsus, ranging from early-stage, organ-confined tumors to highly advanced, metastatic disease. Our approach is extremely successful compared to the outcomes patients would have expected from conventional treatment. In fact, this is a good example of a disease in which conventional medicine is shifting its point of view to be closer to that of biological medicine. But it isn’t there yet!

Prostate cancer treatment has become very controversial in recent years in the USA, and for good reason. Various medical boards have recommended that men stop having PSA screening, or that such screening (and the treatment that follows it) offers no benefit compared to not screening. Around the world, practitioners and their patients have watched the controversy in America with confusion and even alarm.

How can it be true that screening and conventional treatment offer no benefit? The simple answer is that PSA tests to detect the likelihood of cancer, biopsy to confirm it, then surgery to remove the prostate (or radiation to destroy it), offer no benefit unless the real causes of the cancer are also addressed – and in orthodox medicine they never are. Relatively few men are really at risk of dying of prostate cancer, and the terrible side effects of conventional treatment – incontinence, impotence, secondary cancers and more – are risks for everyone. So is the chance of recurrence.

Biological medicine and conventional medicine do agree on the starting point for all cancer – cell mutation is normal. At any given moment each one of us has cancerous cells in our bodies. The question that biological medicine asks is, why do those few cancer cells take root and flourish? This is because of the internal milieu of the patient, which favors illness rather than health. In orthodox medicine the milieu is ignored, and the patient is asked to trust the surgeon’s knife, the radiologist’s ions, the endocrinologist’s hormones. In biological medicine we know that fixing the milieu is more powerful.

The good news is that for the great majority of prostate cancer patients, the disease is relatively slow-moving and we have time for our methods to arrest its progress. The treatment may be individual, but the goal is always the same – turn the acute state into an indolent one. The cancer becomes indolent or goes into remission, so the patient has a chronic but not a life-threatening problem.

One problem with the current controversy about conventional treatment is that so many men are being told to do “watchful waiting”. Unfortunately in orthodox medicine this means doing nothing except frequent PSA tests and annual biopsies – a very passive stance for a person who knows he has cancer. In addition, the PSA test is not reliable and the biopsies have many risks, including the chance of spreading the cancer. The Paracelsus method of healing the internal milieu is not “waiting” at all – it’s a very active program of making the milieu hostile to the cancer.

Our methods are effective with post-treatment and advanced cases as well. The average prostate cancer patient has a 35% chance of lifetime recurrence; biological medicine helps improve those odds considerably. And we are able to help even advanced cases live longer and better.

We believe that in the not-too-distant future conventional medicine will become more like biological medicine. Prostate cancer is a good place to start. We offer an effective alternative with zero negative side effects to men at every stage of the disease.

I had the best experience at Paracelsus Clinic, where I went to address health problems of deep fatigue, Hashimoto’s disease and chronic back pain.

I would like to take this opportunity and express my thanks to the entire staff and such wonderful team who don’t realize what positive impact they have on other people lives. By now, I would be probably suffering from negative side effects of chemotherapy and today after first few weeks of treatment at Paracelsus, I feel so energized and truly looking to another day as very special day. You all gave me chance to take my life in my own hand, teach me own the responsibility for my health and gave me chance for better life. This is something, I will never forget and truly looking forward to April ’15 for my next treatment at Paracelsus. I had privilege to meet highly professional, but so friendly nurses and doctors at your clinic and despite their busy schedules to look after so many patients like me, they still find energy for being nice, kind and providing their energy back to all patients. Through chats with other patients, I came across similar experiences and positive discussions, that just shows testimony how well the clinic is run and how focused the clinic is on treating patients well.

«I HAVE MY LIFE BACK!!»

I was diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease in the summer of 2007. By the fall of 2013, I had exhausted the knowledge base of 6 doctors in the states. I found the Paracelsus Clinic by word of mouth. I was so frustrated with my progress, or lack thereof, that after doing my research on the clinic and talking with 2 Lyme patients that had been treated at the clinic, I decided to commit a month of my life to focused healing.

My symptoms were problematic in that I work as a Professional Ski Patroller. I must be able to ski all day long and communicate with injured skiers in stressful situations. As summer 2013 turned into fall, my symptoms became more pronounced. I began stuttering and was unable to form complete sentences. At times my mouth would physically lock up and I was unable to verbalize the thoughts in my head. In the afternoons, my body would get completely and utterly tired. I did not like riding as a passenger in cars because at times I suffered from severe motion sickness. This is when I moved to Switzerland and immersed myself in the healing process.

It has been 2 + months since I left the clinic. I would like to say that I have not felt this good in a long time. I can honestly say that I have had no recurrence of the symptoms that led me to seek help at the clinic. My speech is back to normal, my thoughts are not foggy, my energy is back, and my motion sickness has gone away. I am skiing 5 days a week and helping injured skiers with confidence. What a difference some focused healing time makes!!
