As well as receiving treatment at many clinics around the world I also became a Patient Liaison and then the CEO of one of the most popular european clinic, so I know first hand how they can promise the world to a vulnerable sick person, but unfortunately most don’t have the full skillset or the full spectrum of treatments to help you fully recover. My aim is to help prepare you for treatment overseas and to connect you to the right clinic or multiple clinic to get the best outcomes.
There are a number of shortfalls I have found when I have attended clinic to receive treatment:
- They are very rarely ran by people who have experienced chronic illness personally, so I have found they don’t have the empathy that is required to help a person through the kaleidoscope of physical and emotional reactions you will be confronted with on your journey.
- It can be a mind boggling process finding the right clinic particularly when you are unwell and researching clinics in different time zone around the world.
- Clinics are at the end of the day a businesses with the aim to make profit. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with that, however, you will find you will be paying large amounts of money for little add-ons that really don’t supply a lot of value to your healing.
- The biggest issue I have, is the clinic don’t encourage you do prep work before attending the clinic. Therefore you arrive at the clinic and the first two – three weeks you are forced to do basic protocols you could have done at home, because you have to have days off due to hurxing and fatigue. Because of this you are not maximizing your time at the clinic and taking advantage of the most important treatments.
- When you have finished your 4-6 week treatment protocol, they don’t have a plan for you when you return home, so you are back to where you started trying to map out your own treatment plan
The path to recovery is a long journey and receiving treatment at a clinic is only a part of that journey. Through my journey l came to believe no one clinic has all the answers or the ideal combination of treatments.
