The vision of my practice:

The wise men did not treat those who were already sick. They instructed those who were not yet sick. Dispensing medicines for sicknesses that have already developed and suppressing the chaos that is already in progress is comparable to the behavior of persons who begin to dig a well when they feel thirst, and those who do not take up arms until they find themselves in the midst of battle...

(ancient Chinese saying)

The medicine of the future focuses on the whole person.

This approach to medicine accepts individuals in all their complex interconnections. It emphasizes the individual aspects, and represents a synthesis of naturopathic and allopathic medicine.

The old fix-the-symptoms medicine is a thing of the past.

Modern medicine recognizes and accepts that people are whole beings. On the one side, illness as overdriven complexes, severe dysfunctions of processes (allopathic medicine), on the other the "mismatch" of biological and energetic processes (naturopathic): both aspects are involved and must be considered together...

My medical training and subsequent years of practice showed me where the boundaries lie: generalized recommendations for health and illness often prove of little use. Food and nutrition offer an extremely typical example:

Every person must be advised individually, holistically, according to their constitution, origins, genotype and personal philosophy.  The individual concept that considers the entire person is key.

Diagnostics, therapy/consultation under this philosophy demand a lot of time, and above all personal attention. I want to give you this attention, and I have organized my practice so as to make this possible.

The second pillar of my practice is: "Enhance your health!"

This includes nutrition, exercise, stress management with mental reinforcement, hormone balance, supporting the body with vital substances - tailored to meet the individual's unique needs.

To facilitate this process I have built a network of cooperating physicians' practices, physical therapists, osteopaths and a personal trainer, to meet your health needs.

I am looking forward to being able to assist you as a skilled and knowledgeable advisor.

Yours,

Dr. Peter Strauven, MD
