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.
