Foreword
By Valter Longo, PhD

For hundreds of years health has been managed, on one hand, by official medicine, based on the teachings of medical schools at the most important universities, on the results of clinical studies, and on the decisions of government agencies. On the other hand, health has also been managed by complementary medicinesometimes based on ancient traditions, sometimes of dubious origin. In The Nature Cure, Dr. Andreas Michalsen combines the teachings of official medicine and science-based complementary medicine to help readers live healthier while minimizing the need for medication. Dr. Michalsen starts with the story of his personal journey to naturopathic medicine and then comes to discuss a variety of naturopathic therapies ranging from the use of leeches, hydrotherapy, yoga, exercise, diet and fasting, and how they can prevent and even cure major diseases. Dr. Michalsen, head of the naturopathy department at the Immanuel Hospital and Charit Medical University in Berlin, is one of the best doctors of natural medicine I have ever known. His therapies are based on solid scientific and clinical pillars. In the field of therapeutic fasting, his clinic in Berlin is among the most prestigious in the world and is at the forefront of experimentation and implementation of new scientific discoveries on patients with diseases ranging from hypertension, diabetes, and cancer to multiple sclerosis. This is a book that brings us toward a new approach to medicine, a book that is not to be missed.

Introduction

Fasting, yoga, Ayurveda, herbal medicine, meditation, mindfulness, a vegetarian dietthe subjects of naturopathy are more topical than ever before. But its difficult to find scientifically-founded guidance on naturopathy. Some things that have long been recommended in the world of natural medicine should be questioned critically. On the other hand, effective methods of naturopathy are often too quickly dismissed by conventional physicians. Yet its become increasingly clear that many people are interested in exploring naturopathy and integrative medicine. It is high time, then, for an evaluation that takes experience, practice, and research into consideration in equal measure.

Medicine needs naturopathynow more urgently than ever before. An increasing number of chronic diseases is becoming widespread, and conventional medicines method of treating these illnesses in the same highly technologized manner as emergency caseswith surgeries, interventions, and new medicationsleads to more and more side effects and unaffordable costs.

The traditional treatment methods of naturopathy have kept people alive throughout the centuries and have addressed various illnesses with astonishing efficacyeven though the methods were based solely on practical experience. Then modern medicine came along with its scientific approach and its extraordinary possibilities for diagnosis and therapy, and a lot of ancient knowledge was left by the wayside because it was considered outdated or even wrong.

Yet today, the latest research methods of modern biology and medicine show that naturopathy is not a thing of the past, but highly relevant. In the crisis of medicine were now facingwith its increasing costs and rising proportion of chronic illnessnaturopathy offers solutions, showing us new ways of preventing and treating diseases. The central focus is not on the illness, but on the individual.

As professor of Clinical Naturopathy at the Charit Berlin, the largest university hospital in Europe, with about three thousand inpatient beds and more than twelve thousand health professionals and scientists working there, I hope to share the enormous potential of naturopathy with the public and to close the gaps that continually seem to open between high-tech medicine and practical knowledge. At the Charit, our focus is not on setting divisions between different ways of medical practice, but on integration and combinationon a scientific basis. Employing this concept, we treat thousands of patients to great success every year.

MY JOURNEY TO NATUROPATHY

I was born in a small village in the southern part of Germany, on the border of Austria and Switzerland, near the Alps. My father and grandfather were both MDs who specialized in internal medicine. As a child, listening to my father talk about his workday at the dinner table, I realized that there was something special about his medical practice. Following in the tradition of my grandfather, my father treated his patients not only with conventional medication and surgery, but also with naturopathic and integrative medicine. He often advised lifestyle and diet changes for his patients, such as fasting or reducing stress. He didnt just prescribe conventional drugs, but also herbs and supplements. Growing up I was accustomed to seeing his patients stop by our home to express their gratitude and sometimes to drop off a presentusually something nice to eat. On the other hand, I also grew up hearing my father talk about the suspicion with which his colleagues regarded his approach to medicine.
