Illness does not develop overnight. Disease is a dynamic building process, developing over time, from a variety of sources. And the body sends signals days, weeks, months and even years before an acute illness develops…
Unfortunately, we humans tend to change something in our lives when we receive news of a certain condition or get a diagnosis, i.e. when the “biological cut” is crossed and going back to health is more difficult than if the signs of an imbalance were acknowledged earlier.
This is why at the Swiss Mountain Clinic, we specialize ourselves in understanding what is going on in your body using a holistic approach. We aim to understand the root cause of your condition before starting the therapy program (a.k.a. regulative medicine). You might have received a diagnosis – but we go back upstream to understand why and that, no matter what point you are at in your journey.
Our Chief Physician, Dr. Petra Wiechel, as well as her daughter Dr. Friderike Wiechel are very passionate about prevention – helping people who know their body is out of balance and want to understand why. We, of course, also treat patients who received a diagnosis such as lyme, fibromyalgia, heavy metal poisoning, Parkinson, Multiple Sclerosis, burnout, cancer, etc. How?
Dr. Reckeweg developed a six-phase model showing how organ systems manifest illness and how it progresses through each phase, from the excretion phase (Phase 1) to the dedifferentiation phase (Phase 6).
Excretion phase
Acute · Fully reversible
Cough, expectoration
Mucociliary clearance of the airways with reflexive cough — the lungs actively expel inhaled particles and mucus.
Inflammation phase
Days–weeks · Reversible
Bronchitis, acute
Acute inflammation of the bronchial tree, viral or irritative, with cough, mucus hypersecretion and reversible airway narrowing.
Deposition phase
Months · Beginning structural
Silicosis, smoker’s lung
Permanent deposition of silica dust or tobacco particulates in alveolar tissue, with fibrotic nodules and chronic mucus retention.
- Biological cut
Impregnation phase
Years · Hard to reverse
Chronic (obstructive) bronchitis
Persistent bronchial inflammation with cough, sputum and partly irreversible airflow obstruction — a core feature of COPD.
Degeneration phase
Long-term · Structural
Bronchiectasia, emphysema
Permanent dilation of the bronchi, or irreversible destruction of alveolar walls — structural lung damage with loss of gas-exchange surface.
Dedifferentiation phase
End-stage · Irreversible
Bronchial carcinoma
Malignant tumour of bronchial epithelium — small-cell or non-small-cell — strongly associated with tobacco smoke and other inhaled carcinogens.
Excretion phase
Cough, expectoration
Mucociliary clearance of the airways with reflexive cough — the lungs actively expel inhaled particles and mucus.
- Our diagnostics help us to understand what is going on deep within: what processes are already happening in your body, where do you stand with your heavy metals, what does your blood say? We use dark field blood analysis, iridology, VNS analysis, mineral analysis and many more analyses to get a complete picture of your current condition.
- With a 360° view of you, we develop a plan with adapted therapies because everyone deserves a different and unique treatment process to meet their medical needs. We offer a wide spectrum of treatments such as colon hydrotherapy, infusion, full-body hyperthermia, neural therapy, hyperbaric oxidation therapy, BioPhoton, psychotherapy and more than 60 different therapies and treatments to help you regulate, detoxify and find balance.
- We also work with external specialists such as the dentist Dr. Rosner. Understanding what is going on with the teeth is a key component of our diagnostic since 80% of malfunctions (of the body) come from the teeth.
