Micro-immunotherapy makes use of the same messengers as the immune system (e.g. cytokines, growth factors, hormones), which are given sublingually in low doses. These substances are responsible for the communication between the cells and other elements involved in immune responses.

Anyone who has noticed a wart on their skin, face, hands, or feet during their lifetime has likely had an infection with human papillomaviruses (HPV) since most warts are caused by these pathogens. Transmission occurs through direct skin contact from person to person or via an object that has come into contact with the virus. Some types of papillomaviruses are transmitted through sexual contact, affecting the genital organs and the anus, potentially leading to various diseases. This brochure focuses on papillomavirus infections in the anogenital area and presents the approach or effective management.

Many know the feeling: a tingling sensation around the lips that often follows a period of stress or extended sun exposure, such as while enjoying a skiing holiday. Soon, itchy and painful blisters appear. You glance in the mirror and see it: a bothersome cold sore, also known as herpes labialis. But what exactly causes herpes to manifest in the body? What factors contribute to its appearance? And how can micro-immunotherapy assist in managing herpes?

If an allergy is not detected and treated in time, it can lead to long-term consequences: neurodermatitis in children can develop into allergic rhinitis (hay fever) over the years and into allergic asthma at a later stage. This phenomenon is known as “allergic march” or “progression”. In order to curb this march, the underlying cause of allergy needs to be addressed. Micro-immunotherapy targets the root of the problem, as it directly addresses the immune system.

A cancer diagnosis is shocking news that unfortunately many people receive in their lifetime. However, one is not completely defenceless against cancer. Through an integrated, multimodal treatment programme, much can be done to work towards a cure or remission or gain more quality of life. Micro-immunotherapy is one of the cornerstones in cancer treatment, as it supports the immune system in the defence against cancer cells.

We have all experienced it: the day after being pricked with a rose or stepping on a rusty nail, the affected area starts to hurt, it gets thick, red and warm. These are all signs of inflammation. We know the same effect from the reddened nose during a cold and the swollen tonsils in sore throat. Inflammation, if very pronounced, may even come along with fever. It is a normal reaction of the body‘s own defence system aimed at protecting the organism from external disruptive factors (e.g. pathogens) and preventing tissue damage.

As the cold season draws closer, many of us suffer from frequent respiratory infections. A stuffy or runny nose, coughs, sore throat or fatigue are some of the annoying symptoms that keep coming back year after year. Even though we are permanently exposed to pathogens, autumn and winter’s low temperatures make it easier for some viruses to spread1. Yet, how is it that some people enjoy good health during the cold season and others do not? How can we actively prevent infections? It is all about keeping the immune system in shape!

Everybody has to deal with stress in life. Pressure to perform well, deadlines, combining work and family life, conflicts in relationships, severe disease, death of a family member, worries or anxiety about the future are some of the many daunting burdens to confront.

More and more people are suffering from persistent and largely unexplained symptoms such as chronic malaise accompanied by fatigue, recurrent sore throat, partly swollen cervical (neck) lymph nodes, migratory joint and muscle pain and unexplained temperature spikes.
