From the Naturmedican clinic located in Maspalomas, Gran Canaria, Dr. Agne Esther Díaz Riverol (Medical Graduate, specialist in Neonatology) accompanies us . Focusing on tourists, this medical center offers medical assistance for emergencies, acute illnesses or clinical monitoring of chronic illnesses . They also practice treatment protocols where they combine natural therapies compatible with allopathic treatments.
1._How many years have you been practicing integrative medicine and what led you to make that choice?
I have been practicing Integrative Medicine for approximately 10 years . It all started when I finished my specialty in Neonatology. The quality of life of newborns that become complicated, in this important stage of life, can have sequelae that will mark them forever .
I felt a need and a great responsibility to find more treatment options that could complement the existing protocols and that is how I started in Ozone Therapy and in the new concept of Integrative Medicine.
The results we obtained were wonderful, from the beginning; both in Infantile Cerebral Palsy , in delayed psychomotor development , in sensorineural deafness , in brachial and facial palsy , in retinopathy of prematurity . All this led us to extend our practice and integrative approach to older children diagnosed with Bronchial Asthma, Diabetes, Autism, Down Syndrome, Cystic Fibrosis, attention disorders, among others.
2._But it also provides its medical services to adult patients, including those of middle age. Have you had to continue with your academic training to be able to treat chronic adult pathologies?
Yeah. For several years we have also been serving adults, we have had to train in various therapies to address pain, immunomodulation, heavy metal poisoning, nutritional deficits, regeneration. Specifically, from the perspective of Integrative Medicine, the most important thing is to treat the patient from a holistic perspective, respecting individuality, the same for a child as for an adult.
3._Germany, Switzerland... many pioneering countries in integrative medicine are far ahead of us in this matter, you began working with patients from those countries, where said medicine is included in Social Security, but now you also work with national patients. Are they just as receptive?
Naturmedican is based at the Wiedemann International Medical Center, a German clinic that has been providing medical care in Gran Canaria for more than three decades to German, Swiss and Austrian tourists or residents, who take advantage of the island's good climate for health tourism; but we also receive patients from many other countries such as Canada, China, the United Kingdom, Norway, Chile, Argentina, Italy...
It is true that in the last five years we have been treating more and more national patients and it is true that although everything is new for them, they are receptive and understand that managing diseases from their origin is better than just treating the symptoms.
4._Cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's and cardiovascular diseases are the problems that most affect our polluted society... from the protocols that you practice in your clinic, how do you address these pathologies?
The approach must begin with changes in the diet, in the detoxification and drainage of the organism , in restoring the deficiencies of vitamins , minerals that the patient presents , in the oxygenation of the organism .
We offer the possibility of multiple therapies: Ozone Therapy, Colon Hydrotherapy, Neural Therapy, Laser Therapy, Regenerative Plasma, Orthomolecular Intravenous Infusions, Chelation, Immunotherapy, Acupuncture, Physiotherapy, Osteopathy. We also take into account the psychological and spiritual management of illnesses.
5._Oxidation and Acidification are behind most of the current diseases. How do you fight them?
This is why we live sick and grow old sick . It is what happens at the cellular level that affects organ function and manifests as disease.
We are exposed to chemical and electromagnetic environmental pollution , our diet is inflammatory, we are exposed to sustained stress, often linked to a sedentary life, alcohol consumption, tobacco, drug abuse, junk food; all this leads to free radicals affecting our cells , increasing acidification and lack of oxygen.
We fight it by motivating a change in harmful lifestyle, the ideal is prevention, if we are able to keep our organism alkaline, oxygenated, without deficiencies in essential nutrients such as selenium, zinc, vitamin D, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium......, free of toxins, with a competent immune system and with a positive mentality we can age with quality of life.
6._What is your opinion of our Alkanatur jug? Can it be a good therapeutic aid in these pathologies?
The option that Alkanatur offers us is wonderful, through the use of the jug, the patient has the possibility of drinking alkaline and antioxidant water. Also due to its structure, filtered water is better assimilated, favoring detoxification and drainage of the body . Its use is extremely important both in the prevention and treatment of diseases.
