Chronic Kidney Disease - Paracelsus Recovery

WHAT WE TREAT

Holistic Chronic Kidney Disease Support

Navigating life with chronic kidney disease can be overwhelming, with the need for lifestyle adjustments, medical treatments, and ongoing care. At Paracelsus Recovery, we can help ease the burden of having chronic kidney disease. Working in conjunction with Zurich’s best hospitals, we support your medical treatment with integrative therapies and care to help optimise every area of your health.

While we cannot cure chronic kidney disease, we aim to provide relief from symptoms and offer support for the emotional and psychological aspects of living with the condition, helping you focus on your well-being with less stress.

How we treat chronic kidney disease holistically

At Paracelsus Recovery, we understand the challenges of living with chronic kidney disease. We work alongside all hospitals in Zurich to ensure you receive the necessary medical treatment, while we take care of the other aspects of your well-being. Holistic treatment for chronic kidney disease focuses on slowing disease progression, reducing symptoms, and improving overall well-being. Such an approach combines conventional medicine with lifestyle modifications, and mind-body approaches to provide a well-rounded, comprehensive care plan that helps conventional treatments work more effectively.

We start by conducting detailed tests to assess your kidney function, overall physical health, and emotional well-being, then create a treatment plan that’s just for you. Our 360-degree approach brings together various disciplines, including medical care, orthomolecular support, psychological therapy, nutritional therapy, sleep therapies and personal training to help you feel better and manage your condition more easily. This involves controlling any underlying issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol that may have contributed to the onset and development of chronic kidney disease. We will also help you implement the necessary lifestyle modifications and treat any co-occurring substance abuse issue or mental health conditions you may have.

Our holistic chronic kidney disease treatment programmes are centred on complementing your hospital treatment with physical health restoration, mental health restoration and biochemical health restoration. We take an integrative approach, viewing ill-health as a sign of internal imbalances. Therefore, we aim to treat the whole person rather than focussing just on the localised disease. By blending conventional western medicines with modalities such as acupuncture, yoga or massage we aim to help you feel better and improve your quality of life. Research shows that integrative medicine can be a helpful complement to traditional treatments, reducing symptoms and easing discomfort.

How we restore your physical health:

Dietary changes: A nutrient-rich, kidney-friendly diet can reduce stress on the kidneys and slow chronic kidney disease progression. Our nutritionists will provide a nutrient-dense plan for you that will replenish any lab-identified inflammatory or immune system issues. All meals will be provided by your private chef, who will take your dietary preferences into account.
Herbs and supplements: Chronic kidney disease may be linked to nutritional gaps or weakened immune function. We provide personalised supplements and meals to address any deficiencies and support kidney function, and overall health.
Detox and pre/probiotics: Since the kidneys filter toxins, reducing exposure can lighten their workload. We help support your digestive system with gentle detox and pre/probiotics to improve immune function and reduce inflammation.
Complementary therapies: We offer therapies like massage, acupuncture, and physiotherapy to help reduce stress, ease tension, and lower blood pressure. These treatments help you feel more comfortable and supported throughout your journey.
Sleep and rest: Rest is crucial to managing chronic kidney disease. We help you create a routine that includes regular sleep and relaxation, allowing your body to recharge and support your healing process.
Physical fitness: Regular, low-impact exercise improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and supports heart and kidney health. At Paracelsus Recovery, you will work with some of the world’s leading fitness instructors to help create a long-term daily exercise routine that works for you. We have access to some of Zurich’s finest gyms, and we can always bring equipment to you in one of our penthouses.

How we restore your mental health:

Specialised psychotherapy: Living with chronic kidney disease can bring emotional challenges, especially when it comes to managing stress, anxiety, or the emotional strain of the condition. Our psychotherapists provide a safe space to talk through your thoughts and feelings, helping you find peace of mind and move forward with confidence.
Treating co-occurring conditions: The stress of managing a chronic illness, changes in lifestyle, and the impact of chronic kidney disease on brain function all contribute to mental health challenges. At Paracelsus Recovery, we always conduct an elaborate testing procedure to identify any co-occurring conditions. We will then address every underlying condition, both physical and psychological.
Addiction treatment: In the cases where substance abuse issues are co-occurring with chronic kidney disease, we will also provide a complete 360-degree addiction treatment programme. This will include a detoxification period and intensive therapy sessions to help you create healthier coping mechanisms for life’s stressors.
A live-in therapist: If you need extra emotional support, we offer the option of having a dedicated psychotherapist available to you whenever you need it, offering comfort and guidance through difficult times.
Complementary therapies: Yoga, mindfulness, breathwork, and well-being counselling can help you manage stress and stay emotionally balanced, making them crucial aspects of your treatment plan.

How we restore your biochemical health:

Supplements and IVs: We offer personalised supplements and IV treatments based on lab results to restore balance in your body, supporting your kidney health and reducing inflammation.
Functional medicine: We use functional medicine to understand the root causes of your chronic kidney disease and work with your body’s natural healing processes to restore balance and improve lung function.
Bioresonance treatment: Through bioresonance, we gently assess your body’s energy and help restore balance to your system, supporting your overall healing and wellness.
