Functional medicine and clinical environmental medicine are used in particular in the following clinical fields:

Autoimmune disease

  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Type 1 diabetes mellitus
  • Ulcerative colitis
  • Pemphigus vulgaris
  • Myasthenia gravis
  • Basedow’s disease
  • Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Lupus erythematosus
  • Polymyositis
  • Sjogren’s Syndrome
  • Scleroderma

Chronic diseases

  • Metabolic syndrome (too much belly fat, high blood sugar and high blood fat levels, high blood pressure)
  • Leaky Gut (Irritable bowel syndrome)
  • Chronic fatigue syndrome (Myalgic encephalomyelitis)
  • Silent inflammation (signs of this can be increased temperature, exhaustion, tiredness, listlessness, general feeling of illness, frequent infections, headache, muscle and body aches)
  • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

COVID-19

  • Post-COVID
  • Long COVID
  • Post-vac Syndrome

Ticks

  • Lyme disease (Borrelia infection)

Atopic diseases

  • Food intolerances
  • Allergies
  • Neurodermatitis

Electrohypersensitivity (EHS)

People who think they are electrosensitive report various symptoms such as nausea, palpitations, headaches, sleep disorders, tiredness or concentration problems. Metal exposure can be a cause of electrohypersensitivity. There can be different symptoms depending on the type and quantity of metal, and the length of exposure.

Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS)

Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) is a grouping of symptoms in which general manifestations such as weakness, exhaustion, breathing problems, afflictions of the gastrointestinal tract and other disorders of various organ systems can occur. Patients have an intolerable reaction to the presence of volatile chemicals such as fragrances, cigarette smoke, solvents or exhaust fumes. The concentrations of these substances are well below the threshold concentrations that indicate irritation or toxic effects in healthy people.

Sick Building Syndrome (SBS)

Those affected suffer from mostly unspecific symptoms such as watery eyes, irritated mucous membranes, headaches or itchy skin. These complaints, which arise when staying in buildings, are summarized under the term “Sick Building Syndrome” (SBS). Assumed connections are increased concentrations of pollutants at work or in the home.

Mental well-being

  • Burnout
  • Depression
  • Chronic fatigue syndrome (Myalgic encephalomyelitis)

Prevention and Genetics

Functional medicine and clinical environmental medicine are not only used to treat diseases, but also to prevent them. In combination with genetics – which deals with the regularities of passing on genetic material to the next generation – potential dangers and predispositions can be identified in addition to causes.

IHHT (altitude training) in sports medicine

As an athlete, you want to increase your performance, increase endurance and increase mental stability by improving cell metabolism, forming more erythropoietin and burning fat better. Interval hypoxia-hyperoxia therapy (IHHT) is used in sports medicine by generally increasing physical resistance by optimizing mitochondrial respiration.
