A Holistic Approach to Cancer Care.

Founded in 1985 by the late Dr. Wolfgang Woeppell, Hufeland Klinik treats cancer and chronic disease.

This stately 50 bed hospital is located in Bad Mergetheim, about 100 miles southeast of Frankfurt and 90 miles northeast of Stuttgart.

The clinic now continues the clinic philosophy of treating the mental, emotional and physical body to achieve these optimal results.

Dr. Wolfgang May, Medical Director

Internal Medicine specialist Dr. Wolfgang May has degrees in physical and rehabilitation medicine, naturopathy, homeopathy and advanced training in acupuncture and environmental medicine. His diagnostic skills and warm caring manner make him a favorite with the patients at Hufeland Klinik.

Married and the father of five children, Dr. May sings in his church choir, is active in humanitarian work and enjoys climbing, hiking, cycling and rowing.

Although the clinic requires a medical diagnosis before admission, they do offer EKG, sonograms, color Doppler echos, Holter monitors, spirometry, 24 hour blood pressure monitoring, and esophageal-gastro-duodenal scoping, tumor markers and other more extensive testing off site. In addition to conventional therapy,

Hufeland offers mistletoe infusions, Insulin Potentiated Chemotherapy (IPT), Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT), pain management, biological therapies, immunotherapy, local and full body hyperthermia, fever therapy, physical and psychological therapy and, unique to Hufeland, art  therapy.  Healthy organic vegetarian food is served at the clinic.

The earlier in the disease process the patient comes to Hufeland, the more promising the results.  Undergoing many rounds of chemotherapy can destroy the immune system, preventing healing with holistic methods.  Patients newly diagnosed can expect the best results. 

Patients usually stay about six weeks, and the cost is considered to be extremely reasonable.  Patients may bring a companion to share their room, and additional guests may stay in nearby hotels or guesthouses.

Follow-up is as individual as the patient.  Patients continue the biological treatments at home, and often return in 1 or 2 years for additional ‘refresher’ treatments to keep their immune system strong.
