The <strong>Cologne</strong> Model is an innovative approach to the treatment of cancer<br />

and other chronic diseases (such as chronic viral illnesses like HIV, hepatitis<br />

B and C). Both conventional treatment methods for these diseases<br />

as well as new, science and research-driven approaches to treatment are<br />

key elements in this therapy concept.<br />

Medical Center <strong>Cologne</strong> (MCC) has applied the <strong>Cologne</strong> model since<br />

2000. The basis of all therapies is the improvement of the immune system<br />

(“immune restoration”), since the immune system is decisively involved<br />

in all disease processes – both in acute and in chronic diseases.<br />

For ex<strong>am</strong>ple, autologous dendritic cells and activated LAK cells, in conjunction<br />

with hyperthermia applications, has been successfully used on<br />

cancer patients.<br />

To improve the immune system, another approach includes administering<br />

vit<strong>am</strong>in and mistletoe-based compounds (Viscum album), trace elements<br />

and enzymes. Patients also receive nutritional advice and assistance in<br />

making changes in their everyday life (“lifestyle changes”).<br />

A Dutch charitable foundation created portraits and bios of several patients<br />

who, despite being in the end stage of their cancer, experienced<br />

a complete remission over many years. These portraits are published<br />

in many languages and can be found online (www.kanker-actueel.nl or<br />

www.dendritic-cells.org).<br />

Treatment is provided on an inpatient basis. Since your personal wellbeing<br />

contributes significantly to the success of your therapy, we would<br />

be happy to organize a full travel plan during your stay, in between treatment<br />

periods and over the course of treatment. We work in collaboration<br />

with our cooperation partner, GlobalGuest Germany GmbH & Co. KG.<br />

Please feel free to contact us to determine if the <strong>Cologne</strong> Model can also<br />

put you on the path to improving your quality of life.<br />
