Deacidification therapy and metabolic therapy
The vast majority of chronic disorders are associated with impairment of the acid-base metabolism. Investigations carried out over many decades of biological research clearly show that changes in the acid-base balance due to the food that we eat are among the major causes of many diseases. Numerous other changes (e.g. high levels of blood lipids and uric acid, and high blood pressure) associated with the "diseases of civilization" and with impairment of the immune system are mistakenly thought to be the cause of these disorders.
The fundamental way to treat chronic diseases, therefore, is to eat a diet that is gentle on the gut mucosa while at the same time helping to normalize the acid tissue milieu found in chronically ill patients. This is a vital aspect which, regrettably, is completely neglected by conventional medicine and nutrition theory.
The measurements carried out regularly at the Paracelsus Clinica al Ronc show that the normalization of the acid-base balance achieved by eating a light diet rich in high-quality biological nutrients can eliminate numerous other symptoms (gout, poor blood glucose, lipid, liver enzyme and kidney values). This is why we recommend that most patients eat a diet (and don't fast!) rich in vitamins, basic minerals and valuable fatty acids. They need to avoid dietary fat with a low nutritional value and denatured animal proteins.
The serious health changes observed in many patients necessitate supplementary medication in the form of base powder. This can be given as a drink or an infusion. These are methods which are free of side effects and which achieve fast, effective detoxification of the body's tissues.
Deacidification provides rapid relief from often chronic pain (rheumatism, fibromyalgia etc.) and can even lift a patient's mood.
In combination with the methods used in classic natural healing, a healthy, nutrient-rich diet is the basis for recovery and, deriving from this, treatment with medications that eliminate acid is one of the main pillars of the therapeutic strategies followed at the Paracelsus Clinica al Ronc.
