Prof. Dr. Holger Wehner
Prof. Dr. Holger Wehner is an internationally recognized expert in biological and integrative medicine, with decades of experience in innovative, patientcentered therapies. His clinical focus includes fever therapy and hyperthermia in all its forms, including:
- Wholebody hyperthermia as part of comprehensive cancer and chronic illness programs
- Extreme systemic hyperthermia, utilized in Lyme disease treatment and the Systemic Cancer Multistep Therapy (sCMT) approach developed by von Ardenne
- The Heatheal wholebody thermotherapy method, reaching therapeutic core temperatures up to 43°C
Dr. Wehner integrates these advanced hyperthermia treatments with a holistic understanding of the body’s biological systems, offering patients individualized, evidenceinformed care aimed at immune modulation, detoxification, and cellular recovery.
Where Science Meets Nature – Treatments Offered
- INUSpheresis (Therapeutic Apheresis)
A sophisticated blood purification method that selectively filters out disease-causing substances, supporting detoxification and immune modulation. - Whole-Body Hyperthermia Treatment
A medically supervised procedure that raises the body’s core temperature to activate the immune system, disrupt pathogens, and support detoxification. - Active Fever Therapy
A biological medicine approach that stimulates the body’s natural fever response to enhance immune activity and pathogen clearance. - Ozone Therapy
An autologous blood therapy where blood is enriched with ozone to stimulate oxygen metabolism, improve circulation, and support detoxification and immune health. - Intravenous Laser Therapy
Utilizes specific laser wavelengths to directly treat the blood, achieving various therapeutic effects depending on the laser’s color and intensity. - Me2.vie
Integrated advanced medical-grade IV infusions with mitochondrial and cell membrane support, while also addressing autonomic nervous system regulation. - Infusion Therapy
Customized protocols that may include nutrients, amino acids, phospholipids, and antimicrobials tailored to each patient’s needs. - Interval Hypoxia-Hyperoxia Therapy (IHHT)
A method for optimizing cellular energy metabolism and positively influencing the number and quality of mitochondria. - Biological Dentistry
The clinic maintains close partnerships with experienced biological dentists to address hidden infections, heavy metal burdens, and cavitations that can impede healing.
INUSpheresis – Advanced Blood Purification
INUSpheresis is a cutting-edge blood purification therapy designed to remove environmental toxins, spike proteins, harmful immune complexes, and pathological proteins from the bloodstream. This process is particularly beneficial for patients with chronic illnesses where detoxification and immune modulation are crucial.
How INUSpheresis Works:
- Blood is drawn from a vein in one arm.
- The blood is separated into solid components and plasma using a pre-filter.
- The plasma passes through a specialized main filter, selected based on the patient’s clinical needs, to remove contaminants.
- The purified blood is then returned to the body through a vein in the other arm.
INUSpheresis is often integrated with other personalized therapies at Alpine BioMedical Clinic to enhance its therapeutic benefits.
Extreme Whole-Body Hyperthermia – Harnessing the Power of Artificial Fever
Extreme Whole-Body Hyperthermia is a therapeutic technique that involves raising the body’s core temperature to between 38.5°C and 42°C (101.3°F to 107.6°F) to mimic the natural fever response. This controlled induction of fever stimulates the immune system, enhances detoxification, and improves circulation.
Benefits of Whole-Body Hyperthermia:
- Dilation of blood vessels and improved microcirculation.
- Enhanced oxygen delivery to tissues.
- Kills pathogens and helps fight cancer
- Relaxation of muscles and increased connective tissue elasticity.
- Pain relief and inflammation reduction.
- Stimulation of the immune and hormonal systems.
- Activation of metabolism and promotion of detoxification through sweating.
This therapy is particularly effective for conditions such as chronic tick-borne infections, immune deficiencies, fibromyalgia, rheumatism, and certain cancers. By replicating the body’s natural defense mechanism, whole-body hyperthermia can help restore balance and promote healing.
