Holistic Diagnosis and Treatment with Biological Medicine
Without the right diagnosis, all treatment becomes fumbling in the dark. You take medications that might ease something. Try treatments that might help a little. But you don’t know what you’re actually treating. In this article, I show you how Dr. Thomas Rau — one of the world’s leading physicians in biological medicine — actually finds answers where other doctors give up.
The Long Road to Answers
There’s something deeply frustrating about knowing something is wrong with your body — and then being told that everything looks normal.
I remember the feeling well. Sitting in doctor’s office after doctor’s office, exhausted to the bone, hearing the same words: “We can’t find anything wrong with you, Mr. Wanvig.” Or even worse: “You need to learn to live with your illness.”
These words from well-meaning experts with impressive titles can crush the spirit of even the most optimistic person. And I was optimistic. For fifteen years, I tried to find answers. Over 200 doctors and specialists. Countless blood tests. Various diagnoses that didn’t fit.
None of it helped me understand why I was chronically exhausted.
In part 1 of this article series, “One of the Greatest Setbacks of My Life!”, I shared the background of my health condition and how I eventually ended up at Dr. Thomas Rau’s clinic for biological medicine. In part 2, “Serious Illness Can Hide in Your Teeth”, I shared my experiences from the holistic dental clinic at Paracelsus.
Now, in this final article, I want to share what truly changed everything: How the clinic makes diagnoses — and how they treat.

The Art of Making the Right Diagnosis
Without the right diagnosis, all treatment is just groping in the dark.
You can take medications that might suppress some symptoms. You can try treatments that might ease the discomfort. But you don’t know what you’re actually treating. You’re just hoping something hits the mark.
Dr. Thomas Rau, the founder of the Paracelsus Clinic and one of the world’s leading physicians in biological medicine, said something that stuck with me:
“All the blood tests in the world won’t help if the doctor isn’t capable of looking for the right parameters — with the right type of tests.”
One of the main problems with conventional medicine, he explained, is that doctors simply aren’t trained to look in the right places. Especially when it comes to chronic illness. They test what they’ve always tested. Look for what they’ve always looked for. And when they don’t find anything there — well, then you’re supposedly healthy.
But you know you’re not.
A Completely Different Approach
The first two days at the clinic were spent on a comprehensive diagnostic process using methods from both Western conventional medicine and biological medicine.
They tested everything. ECG and EEG. Ultrasound examinations. Measurements of xenohormones — chemicals that mimic the body’s hormones. Screening for numerous viruses and subclinical infections. Heavy metal toxicity. The state of the autonomic nervous system. Thermography. And much, much more.
Over 40 tubes of blood were drawn from me. The result was around 470 different blood values and parameters.
About 80 of these were outside the normal range. Around 30 of them were far from normal values.
I remember the feeling when Dr. Rau went through the results with me. For the first time in fifteen years, I actually got explanations. Concrete causes. Not vague hints or shrugged shoulders — but real answers to why my body had collapsed.
And based on these answers, the clinic could create a treatment plan. Not a plan to suppress symptoms — but to heal the causes.
So that I could finally get well.
Treatment Methods That Actually Work
According to Dr. Rau, one of the most important reasons for the clinic’s good results is what he calls a multimodular treatment approach.
This means they don’t rely on any single treatment. They combine many different methods in parallel — all based on the thorough diagnosis. Each patient receives their unique combination, tailored to exactly what their body needs.
Let me share the most important methods they use to treat cancer, chronic diseases, and cases like mine — chronic fatigue.
Interview #3: Dr. Rau Explains the Most Important Treatment Methods at the Clinic
Hyperthermia — When Fever Heals
Have you ever noticed what your body does when you’re sick? It creates a fever. Not because it’s weak — but because it’s smart.
Fever is one of the body’s most powerful healing responses. It activates white blood cells and puts the immune system into high gear. For every degree the body temperature rises, the activity of white blood cells intensifies by two to three times.
Think about it: When the temperature increases from 36 to 39 degrees Celsius, the immune system becomes eight to ten times more active.
Hyperthermia treatment harnesses this natural mechanism by deliberately raising body temperature. There are two main types:

Systemic hyperthermia heats the entire body to 38.5–41 degrees Celsius (101.3–105.8°F) in a special heat chamber or heat bed. At this temperature, the body’s metabolism and circulation are activated, resulting in increased sweating and detoxification. Cellular activity increases.
But here’s what’s truly unique: Sick cells die, while healthy ones survive.
Cancer cells cannot live at high temperatures. That’s why proper use of hyperthermia is a highly effective method against several types of cancer. This is well documented in medical literature.

Lokal hypertermi
Local hyperthermia works in an entirely different way. Here, only a limited area — liver, breast, prostate — is heated to 42–44 degrees Celsius (107.6–111.2°F). At around 42 degrees, something remarkable happens: Cancer cells essentially commit “suicide.” They become what’s called apoptotic.
Healthy cells, however, survive up to 44 degrees. The white blood cells in the area actually become activated and contribute to healing.
In my case, hyperthermia was used for chronic fatigue and a weakened immune system. The method proved highly effective.

Life Cell Extract — Cellular Renewal
The clinic, in collaboration with German biochemists and biologists, has developed something fascinating: A method for isolating and concentrating growth factors and cell peptides that can stimulate the patient’s own cells to function better.
The method is called “Organ Cell Peptide Extracts.” The clinic isolates cells from 16 different organs from young organic pigs — chosen because pig DNA is nearly identical to human DNA. The treatment can therefore be directed specifically at the organ that needs support.
This treatment shows excellent results for neurological diseases, liver diseases, bone marrow deficiency, adrenal diseases, and chronic fatigue.
According to Dr. Rau, this is far more effective than stem cell treatment — and both safer and more affordable.

PRGFT Therapy — Your Body’s Own Healing Power
I experienced this treatment myself during my two rounds of dental surgery, where two hidden wisdom teeth were extracted.
Normally after such an operation, you expect pain. Swelling. Maybe infection. But after the dentist injected PRGFT into the wound before stitching it closed, I experienced something surprising:
No pain. No swelling. No infection.

PRGFT stands for Platelet Released Growth Factor Therapy. It’s made by drawing four to five tubes of blood from the patient, which is then centrifuged so that the plasma separates from the red blood cells. The middle third of the plasma is mixed with a coagulant so it becomes like a gel — and this gel is injected into the surgical wound.
The result? 99.7 percent of patients don’t get infections or inflammation after dental surgery. The wound in the jawbone heals normally within two to three weeks. And there’s no need for antibiotics.
The method is also used for skin diseases and as an alternative to Botox for removing wrinkles — with better results and no side effects.

Neural Therapy — Nerve Regulation from Germany
Neural therapy is a German technique developed by the Huneke brothers. It’s a combination of nerve stimulation and special acupuncture points through injection of procaine or lidocaine, together with a mixture of isopathic and homeopathic remedies.
The method can be effective for stimulating the body’s self-regulation — its natural ability to heal the causes of disease.
Oxygen and Ozone Therapy
Healthy cells need oxygen to produce energy. It sounds simple, but it has profound implications.
Cancer cells have lost the capacity to use oxygen to create energy. Therefore, they don’t respond to oxygen therapy. But old, weak cells — and organs that are struggling — get the opportunity to rebuild themselves when supplied with pure oxygen.
The clinic uses several methods to deliver oxygen: Inhalation of pure or ionized oxygen, intravenous injection of pure oxygen into the blood, ozone treatment, or IHHT — Interval-Hypoxia-Hyperoxia-Training — where the patient breathes in a variation of air with high and low oxygen levels.
For a body that has been fighting for a long time, it’s like getting fresh wind in your sails.

PEMF — Electromagnetic Cell Activation
PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy. It sounds technical, but the principle is elegantly simple.
Every cell in your body has an electrical potential — a voltage between the inside and outside of the cell membrane. A healthy cell has a potential of around 70 millivolts. This potential is what makes the cell’s metabolism function.
A sick cell has much lower potential.
When cells are exposed to electromagnetic pulses at low frequency, they begin to vibrate. This increases the electrical potential and helps the cell membrane get nutrients in — and waste products out.
The Paracelsus Clinic uses various PEMF machines as part of treatment for cancer, chronic fatigue, neurological diseases, and pain.

Intravenous Infusion Therapy
Every day at the clinic, I received infusions tailored to exactly my needs. Vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids, isopathic and homeopathic remedies — all based on my diagnostic results.
Intravenous delivery means the nutrients go straight into the blood, without having to pass through the digestive system. The body gets what it needs, immediately and at full strength.

Each patient gets their own customized mix. No standard solutions. Everything based on what your specific body is lacking.

The Bigger Picture
In addition to the methods I’ve described here, the clinic uses many other treatment forms to help their often very sick patients. What makes the difference isn’t any single method — but the combination of them all, tailored to the individual patient.
And it all begins with one thing: A thorough, holistic diagnosis.
For me, it was this diagnosis that changed everything. After fifteen years of fumbling in the dark, I finally got to see what was actually wrong. And with that knowledge, healing could begin.
If you recognize yourself in my story — if you’ve gone from doctor to doctor without getting answers — I want you to know this: There are other paths. There are doctors who look for the right things. And there are treatments that actually address the causes, not just the symptoms.
You deserve to get answers. And you deserve to get well.
