«I realized for the first time in almost two decades I was able to trust and believe in someone. My faith has been restored. Dr. Rau, Dr. Bethge, Dr. Kimbles, and Dr. Rupp brought humanity back to a profession I thought had completely lost it.
For the first time in 20 years I didn't feel like just some folder that was pulled off a medical bookkeeping shelf. I had a name, I was seen, heard, understood, and trusted! I was deeply, compassionately, and truly cared for and about, and dare I say Loved as an individual, as a human being. In their heart of hearts they wanted to do everything in their power to save, repair, restore, and rejuvenate my life.»
I got the diagnose, Hodgkins lymphoma, in february 2012 and I did not want to do the traditional treat-ment, chemotherapy and radiation, which is the only option for me where I live.
Therefore I started to look for alternatives and I have had different treatments at two
other clinics in Europe but I did not feel totally content and safe after the stay in these clinics.
In July I found out about Paracelsus and I had email contact with them before I decided to go there.
I am so happy I did!
Paracelsus have a lot more variety of treatments than the other clinics I have been to,
and the treatments are, as far as I have seen, carefully chosen for every individual case.
Above all I appreciate the holistic perspective and the desire to understand the underlying cause
to the imbalance.
My doctor, Dr. Rau, has a lot of knowledge and has shown a great interest in my case.
For that I am very grateful!
The clinic is very professional and the staff is very kind, caring and helpful and that goes for
all the nurses, doctors as well as the staff in the reception!
After two weeks at the clinic I will continue with the recommended natural medicine at home
and I will, in a few months time, go back for more treatments in Paracelsus.
I can sincerely recommend Paracelsus clinic since I feel very secure about the treatments,
my doctor and the Paracelsus clinic as a whole!
I wanted to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for the two weeks of treatment that we received at Paracelsus. We have no regrets about the time that we spent in treatment. The entire staff - everyone of them - were exceptional, professional, and caring. Each of the nurses treated us with dignity and respect, and our time with Dr. Rau and Dr. Bethge were outstanding. We felt like we were constantly learning and being given the instruction needed to continue forward. For someone with Dr. Rau's credentials, such a busy schedule, and such a demand on his time, we never felt that we were being rushed or our time and questions minimized. To the contrary, we were given outstanding attention each day. Even when my wife twisted her knee, Dr. Bethge adjusted his schedule to both see her and treat her as nee-ded. That was very special to us personally.
The facilities were very comfortable, the food was delicious, and the cost was reasonable. We really apprecia-ted how well the schedule ran and that there was always someone waiting to take us into our next treat-ment. Our time with the nutritionist was exceptional and when I return in November I am looking forward to spending a couple of more hours learning from her. Of all of the areas needed, the ongoing issue of diet and nutrition are critical and she provided us with both the technical and personal encouragement to make some major changes in how we approach this area of our lifestyle.
My time at the Klinik was very intense and was not very easy. After 3 years of being so sick that I was close to non-functioning, I now have my life back again. I attribute most of that to Dr. Pleus, who is hands-down the best physician I have ever worked with. His creativity and brilliance have turned problems into solutions and I am forever grateful that our paths have crossed. His kindness and patience allowed me to communicate with him honestly and confidently as my treatments progressed. It is due to his incredible intelligence and openness that my healing has occurred.
It has been 3 months now since I have returned from the Klinik and I am doing a very rigorous at-home protocol with 4 IVs a week and a blood-ozone transfusion weekly and Infrared Sauna and cupping and lym-phatic drainage and many more treatments and (of course) supplements, supplements, supplements.
The miracle is that I am feeling so much better!
I am continuing with my protocol and, although it is very hard work, I am reaping the daily rewards of living again. It is amazing how I used to take for granted so many little things like carrying my own purse and putting on my own jacket and opening the door to my refrigerator. Now, as I accomplish each of these tasks I celebrate. Life has become joyful again.
The patient came as accompanying person, accompanying his wife, who stayed at Paracelsus for biological treatment of her cancer and rheumatoid arthritis.
The patient was in permanent treatment for his very high cholesterol, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, gout and overweight. He was under medication with Lipidor, Atacand, Aspirin cardio, Minipres, Toprol. He never felt well under this medication, very often felt nauseous and still had problems in training, sport and severe overweight. The patient only wanted a check-up while being here with his wife.
The measurement of the unconscious nerve system showed a severe suppression of the sympathetic and parasympathetic tonus, which expressed in a metabolic weakness. Most was caused by side effect of the heart and blood pressure and cholesterol remedies.
During the stay we consulted him for the nutrition which would fit for him, we changed the remedies to biological remedies and supplements. After one year of taking our changed nutrition and replacing his orthodox prescription remedies by our supplements he sent following comment to us:
«I must say that I am a real fan of Paracelsus: after getting off all of my prescription meds (Lipitor, blood pressure meds, etc.). I am now testing better than when I was on them. Dr. Rau jumped out of his chair when he reviewed my test results and proclaimed I was a poster boy for the clinic’s regimen. I have also lost 25 pounds, mostly by cutting a lot of protein out of my diet. Not only this, I feel extremely much better than before – and after 3 stays in Paracelsus, my wife nearly fully healed from her severe rheumatoid arthritis and is no more on prescription remedies, any more.»
I am a 49 year old female who was diagnosed with breast cancer a little over a year ago. I was told that the tumor was grade III and therefore fairly aggressive. Before the doctors even knew what stage my cancer was they suggested treatments of chemotherapy, radiation and of course surgery. The fact that they did nod have all the information about what was going on and had already decided on what the course of treatment would be was worrisome to say the least. The doctors did not seem willing to consider anything outside the „standard“ course of treatment which they of course considered highly effective.
I had heard about the Paracelsus clinic from a family friend and decided to consult with them before making any rash and major choices about course of treatment. My first visit to Paracelsus was in January 2010. Dr. Rau looked at the bigger picture and not just the fact that I had breast cancer. He was not going to simply treat the cancer but rather help improve my overall health so that my body can get rid of the cancer and ensure it does not come back. Everything went better that I ever could have expected. The staff, nurses and doctors at Paracelsus are doing amazing things to keep patients healthy.
Shortly after returning to the US I made an appointment to get the tumor surgically removed. The pre-operative scans showed that the tumor had shrunk from 5cm to 4cm. The doctors were flabbergasted and could not offer an explanation for this. I knew it was a result of Dr. Rau’s treatment.
I returned to Paracelsus a few months after the surgery. So far everything looks extremely promising and I‘m looking forward to a bright future with continued treatments. I have seen the work that Dr. Rau and his staff do for their patients and it is truly nothing short of revolutionary. I am extremely thankful that I did not let fear get the best of me when I was diagnosed. I am not sure where I would be had I followed the standard course of treatment, but I am fairly certain my health would not be optimal and I would not be feeling as good as I do today.

A year and a half ago, my urologist/surgeon told me my treatments of radiation and Lupron could still fail. “You are nowhere near out of the woods.” My health suffered from worry and from the miserable side-effects from U.S. treatments: frequent and urgent urination, hot flashes, bone metabolism, lumbar pain, soft tissue pain, and fatigue. |
| |
|
| Health status after treatment |
After a year of treatments at Paracelsus, there is now no evidence of cancer! From the beginning, my side-effects were reduced, which made my quality of life much better. As of recently, the various types of pain have essentially gone away, my urination issues are basically normal, and my energy is returning, I am no longer taking any prescription medication. I feel well and am optimistic. |

| What is special at the Paracelsus Clinic? |
The doctors’ phenomenal ability to diagnose and to treat the cause(s) and the side-effects of previous treatments and/or drugs has astonished me. The entire Paracelsus Team, medical, nursing, technical and administrative, is cheery, compassionate and expert. I have been richly blessed by them. |

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Rau and his team in restoring my health.
Four years ago I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. My joints were very swollen and extremely painful. My RA was so bad that I could hardly walk in the morning and I wasn’t able to use my hands. I was in constant pain. I have seen many different doctors but no one could really help me. I researched about Dr. Rau and his state-of-the-art clinic and decided to visit Paracelsus Klinik.
Dr. Rau gave me my health back. Arthritis swelling and pain are now about 90% healed and progressively improving and healing over time. Dr. Rau is one of the most committed hard-working, intelligent and knowledgeable physicians I have ever encountered.
I am very grateful to the entire staff. They are knowledgeable, caring and highly trained professionals. Your facility is quite impressive. My heartfelt thanks to everyone.
Dr. Rau, I am forever grateful for turning my health around. You are the best!

I came to Paracelsus recently for two weeks in June 2010, and it’s one of the best decisions I have ever made.
In March 2009, I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. After 58 years of nearly perfect health, this was a huge shock. In the next 10 months, at home in California, I experienced a lumpectomy, chemotherapy, radiation and a total hysterectomy. Though I had a “good attitude” I was not used to drugs, and the chemo and radiation wore me down. (Relatively speaking, the surgeries were pretty easy.) I missed a year of work.
During and afterward, I had emotional ups and downs, aches especially in my joints, low energy, and I looked about 10 years older. The hit to my nervous system was overwhelming, and I wasn’t sleeping. Even with support from my dear husband, local conventional therapists and therapeutic bodywork colleagues, I was slowly getting better, but not able to get back to where I was before the chemo and radiation. I was assured by all that I was doing much better than most!
I asked my conventional doctors what I could do to (1) have any idea what caused this, (2) get past the ravages of the chemo and radiation, and (3) prevent a recurrence. They said: (1) no one knows, (2) it’ll happen on its own over time; just rest and eat well and exercise, and (3) eat a balanced diet, don’t get fat, don’t smoke, not more than 4 glasses of wine each week, exercise, and keep your stress level down. But, I did all that before the diagnosis! They had no more suggestions about how to prevent a recurrence. I was worried!
Then I came to Paracelsus. Their diagnostic tests gave me SO much information. I got some very good ideas of what may have caused my diagnosis. Under supervision, the detoxification procedures were gentle and effective. I reached a point in the second week where I could tell by the way my body and mind felt, that the chemo and radiation were out of my body. They gave me instructions on diet, supplements, treatments and life style changes that have been used by women with my diagnosis and these women have not had recur-rences. The treatments were gentle and I felt better after each one, not worse.
So now I feel happy and ambitious again and emotionally stable. The aches and pains are gone and my energy is returning rapidly. The aging has reversed, I can relax again, and my sleep is better than it’s been in 11 years. I feel I’ve been given my life back again and my husband says “my wife is back”! I’m back at work and enjoying it.
Without exception, the doctors, nurses, therapists and administrators were friendly, efficient and caring. The whole experience exceeded my expectations!
I know that sometimes patients want to speak to someone who has been there, before they make a decision. I would be willing to talk with anyone about my experiences.
The medical area, dental area, and hotel are all coordinated and it really works! It is in a beautiful and safe community in a gorgeous part of the world. It all works to benefit healing.
Finally, I LOVED my visits with Dr. Rau. He is absolutely the coolest doctor I have ever met. I very much appreciate what he did for me and what he is doing for others and the world!
With sincere appreciation,
K.E. (f), USA, June 26th, 2010
