How to Know Which German Cancer Treatment Clinic is Right for You?
With over 19 alternative cancer clinics in Germany offering treatments to international patients, these are some things to consider when making your choice.
Treatments Offered in Germany
This may be the most important deciding factor when choosing a clinic, especially if you're drawn to or interested in a particular treatment. If you've researched specific treatments, it's important that the clinic you choose offers that! Whether it's intensive full-body hyperthermia, local hyperthermia, low-dose chemo (I understand that doctors in Germany do not use insulin in IPT for Insulin Potentiated chemo-Therapy but simply have the patient fast overnight for a naturally low insulin level in the morning), regional chemotherapy, mistletoe therapy, or a completely holistic approach that will discuss each aspect of your life, you want to be certain you're receiving the treatments that you believe will bring the best results for you.
Inpatient vs Outpatient
Some clinics offer you and a companion full room and board. Others offer treatments during the day while you stay at a hotel or holiday apartment and make your own food or eat at local restaurants. And some offer the option to do either. In addition, some clinics are located in cities, some in large towns, and others in small villages.
Budget for Treatments
The fee structure varies at each clinic. Some charge every patient the same price each week and then treat them accordingly, sometimes with extra charges for certain tests, scans, or treatments. Other clinics will itemize all of your tests and treatments so that the charges vary from week to week. Costs can vary from 4,000€/week to over 20,000€/week depending on the clinic, tests, treatments, lodging, and food.
Philosophy
Each doctor and clinic has a little bit of a different protocol and philosophy when it comes to treating cancer. If this is something that's important to you, make sure you feel comfortable with how they'll be treating you and the cancer. Ideally you want to arrive at the clinic knowing that you're in good hands and trust the medical staff around you.
Diet
For some people, they consider the food that they eat medicine and want to make sure it's of the highest quality and fits within a certain diet they're following. For other people, they find things other than food higher on their priority list. Some clinics use only organic food and others offer standardized hospital food.

I want to help you find out if alternative cancer treatment at a clinic in Germany is right for you. In 2015, 2016, and 2019 I traveled from the US to a clinic in Germany for my own alternative cancer treatment. In 2017 and 2018 I moved to Germany to live in Berlin as a US expat. While there, I met many doctors and visited their clinics in order to help other patients figure out cancer treatment options in Germany. Ready to talk with me and know what I know?!
