14 MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
The tide is turning The future of healthcare for humans David P. Boehm Miskawaan Health Group (MHG) was established in 2018 with the objective of bringing to the world the medical insights of MHG Co-Founder and Chief Medical Director, Dr. Johannes Wessolly. In recent decades, medical science has made tremendous progress in the treatment of the human condition, and almost every day is a reminder of the incredible expertise of so many amazing doctors, scientists and health professionals on this planet. However, what makes MHG so compelling as a place to come for medical treatment is that Dr. Wessolly has been able to translate so much scientific medical knowledge into practical applications in the clinic. As he says: "At MHG, we treat your physiology, not just your pathology." MHG considers each client to be a whole individual and not just a collection of body parts. Nowadays, conventional medicine typically involves treating one symptom at a time with one or more chemical drugs. Quite often this approach successfully mitigates the impact of the symptoms but does not rectify

the underlying medical condition. Further, the consumption of chemically synthesised drugs can regularly lead to side-effects. The proprietary (infusions) used by MHG to treat each patient have been tried and tested for effectiveness during the past 15-plus years by Dr. Wessolly and MHG scientists Dr. Rebekka Zirbel and Dr. Thomas Fink. This has also put MHG in a unique position and created the creditability that allows it to describe itself as a practitioner of Integrated Functional Medicine. The essential aim is for MHG’s doctors to release and support the inherent healing capabilities within our own bodies. To quote Dr Wessolly: "The best doctor is your own body." MHG believes Functional Medicine to be a patient-centred approach to chronic disease management that seeks to answer the question, "why are you ill?" This enables MHG doctors to personalise effective care for patients’ individual needs by listening and gathering the relevant medical history of each patient in order to identify the broader root cause(s) of illness. Once MHG’s doctors
have identified the triggers of an illness, they can customise a healthy living plan.
THE MHG APPROACH TO HEALTH CARE Howe ver, this approach leads to a fundamental difference in principles, and to how MHG develops the treatment for each patient, as well as the outcomes that we aim for. The following comments do not refer to any particular medical establishment
