TREATMENT OF EATING DISORDERS
Eat ing disorders are d isorders character ized by abnormal eat ing habits and
an i l log ica l f ixat ion to body image and weight . These disorders are ser ious
and indicate the ex istence of a mental condit ion that requires urgent
medical care. Because our psychologica l and emot ional re lat ionship to food
is complex , there are many other aspects of eat ing d isorders such as
genet ic , psychologica l , env ironmental , soc ia l and bio logica l inf luences.
People suf fer ing from such disorders exper ience s igni f icant d istress and
phys ica l pain. They e i ther overeat and then attempt to avoid weight ga in
through extreme measures , or eat too l i t t le .

MEDICAL TREATMENT
AT THE BALANCE
At THE BALANCE we of fer c l ients a hol ist ic approach to phys ica l and mental
heal th care. The term ́hol ist ic ́ means that our program incorporates a l l
aspects of a person l i fe and recognizes that each part of us is int imately
interconnected to a ́whole ́ so in terms of heal th care , i t recognizes that a l l
areas of a person ’s l i fe need attent ion, to impact on the indiv idual . This
incorporates our model of Mind, Body and L i fe .
Hol ist ic medic ine (a lso known as phys io logica l regulat ing medic ine and
Bio logica l Medic ine) treats the whole person. The pat ient ’s symptoms are
a lways considered to be the outward express ion of an under ly ing
dysfunct ion that can be remedied by st imulat ing the body ’s regulatory
forces. We search for the root causes of the pat ient ’s d isease to g ive the
body a chance to heal i tse l f . This is why we g ive top pr ior i ty to improving
the pat ient ’s general metabol ism, together wi th detoxi f icat ion, pur i f icat ion
and the latest methods of immune - st imulat ion, as wel l as other st imulat ing
therapies .
THE BALANCE bio logica l medic ine a ims at strengthening the whole so that
d iseases and suscept ib i l i ty to d isease can be overcome by the pat ient ’s
immune system and heal ing process. For th is reason, our doctors ut i l i ze
'suppress ive ' medic ines only dur ing t imes of emergency , and not for
chronic care management , because th is type of medic ine is most ef fect ive
in acute s i tuat ions. We are a lso s lower to recommend certa in operat ions ,
preferr ing f i rst to apply our hol ist ic therapy concept .
As our pat ient , you are committ ing to your heal th. With your cooperat ion
and THE BALANCE staf f ’ s input of exper ience and know-how, suscept ib i l i t ies
can be detected, and the course of the disease reversed. I t is important to
note that our doctors have convent ional medical degrees and specia l ized
tra in ing in Bio logica l Medic ine, and in certa in cases , convent ional and
hol ist ic treatments wi l l be integrated.
