holistic Diagnostics

observation and examination of the body

At our clinic, we acknowledge the importance of careful observation.

Various medical schools teach how to examine the body only in terms of the Western medicine. However, it is not until doctors start their real work at medical clinics when they start gaining experience of certain medical conditions and symptoms. Since Dr. Lemm has been working as a midwife and doctor for over 35 years, she has gained a broad understanding and knowledge about a great deal of medical issues that she is often able to detect by just observing the body.

Traditional chinese medicine

TCM pulse and tongue diagnostics are the most important tools TCM doctors use. At our clinic, we have a therapist who specializes in these techniques. It is fascinating how much we can detect about a person’s overall health by examining their tongue. Pulse diagnostics is indeed a very important and powerful diagnostic tool.

heart rate variability and veda pulse

Our heart can reveal a great deal of information, we just have to be able to closely listen to it and interpret it.

Explanation + meaning

Well-functioning neurovegetative regulation is the key to our health and well-being. Our heart rate is controlled by the two opponents sympathetic (stress nerve) and the parasympathetic (resting nerve). The state of the neurovegetative regulation can be recognized by the change in the chronological sequence of individual heartbeats, the so-called heart rate variability (HRV).

Above all, our “inner brake”, the parasympathetic nervous system with its main nerve, the nerve vagus, can optimally regulate the processes inside the body. A powerful parasympathetic leads to a close coupling of breathing and heart rate. Link to Veda Plus.

Application + effect

Just as a good coupling suggests a healthy parasympathetic nervous system, a lack of the coupling of breathing and heartbeat is a clear indication of insufficient parasympathetic activity. Our parasympathetic nervous system is sensitive to harmful influences. Chronic stress, lack of exercise, an unfavorable lifestyle and various diseases lead to “parasympathetic dysfunction”. If this malfunction of the parasympathetic system lasts longer, health suffers. There is now reasonable evidence that a weakness of the parasympathetic nervous system is causally related to the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases, cancer and Alzheimer’s.

Several scientific studies have shown that complex positive emotional reactions, such as Love, joy, etc., are linked with healthy heart beat and breathing rhythm, whilst negative reactions such as stress, anger and fear go hand in hand with an increased release of stress hormones.

Procedure + methodology

Various biofeedback methods and devices have been developed in recent decades to measure changes in the heartbeat. Special focus was placed on the parallel measurement of heart and breathing in order to determine the degree of deviation.

Bioimpedance Measurements Analysis (bia)

Sometimes, even if your body seems fine from the outside, there may be internal issues that are hard to detect by looking at your body externally. At our practice, we use a Bioimpedance measurement to thoroughly determine the health of your body .This method shows the distribution of the different body components (body fat, muscle mass and water retention), and your personal level of nourishment which indicates the membranous tension of your muscle cells. If the tension level is low, the cells are malnourished. After receiving your results, we can enhance the function of your cells by changing your diet in an optimal way. For example, when results show too little muscle mass, we recommend for you to practice a combination of correct nutrition and appropriate amount of daily exercise.

During the weight loss process, the Bioimpendance measurement will show whether the fatty tissue reduces, or whether there is a loss in the muscle mass which can be one cause for the yo-yo effect. At Praxis Lemm, you will get a tailored calculation of the recommended carbohydrate, fat and protein intake, so you can balance out your diet and thus reduce your weight successfully in the long run.

ayurvedic pulse diagnostics

This diagnostic is very similar to TCM pulse diagnostics, but a comprehensive Ayurvedic pulse diagnostics can also recognize parasites which TCM can’t do. Additionally, the DOSHA activities can be very helpful. Ayurvedic pulse diagnostics at Praxis Lemm is available depending on the days our Ayurvedic therapist is working at our clinic.

bioscan

The Bioscan is an alternative diagnostic measurement method which measures the radiating wave frequency (bioresonance) of the body and thus reveals the vitamin and nutrient status of the body as well as the status of each organ.

Most therapists like therapists at Praxis Lemm use Bioscan as a guiding diagnostic tool. At our clinic, we combine bioscan with other diagnostic methods and samples such as Oligoscan, urine samples and blood samples. However, bioscan is not yet recognized in orthodox medicine.

At our clinic, we have reached great results using this method and have also used it along with pesticides and organic toxins parameters. Toxin loads can be responsible for the development of many diseases.

The best evidence of the efficiency of this method has been obtained after many years of experience of using the following parameters:

urine heavy metals panel

At Praxis Lemm, we examine heavy metals in urine, blood and tissue with Oligoscan SO Check. The following heavy metals: aluminum, barium, lead, cesium, gadolinium, cadmium, nickel, platinum, mercury, thallium, strontium, tin, zirconium are the most common heavy metals found in the human body and we have over a decade of experience with chelation. Since Dr Lemm has cured herself from heavy metals with chelation therapy, she is very passionate and experienced at using this therapy.

vaginal microbiome / flora

Medical studies have revealed that an infection of the vaginal area can cause premature contractions, premature preterm rupture of the foetal membrane and can cause premature birth. You can prevent this from happening, if you have get your vaginal status checked at our practice. This test is completely covered by all health insurances.

A vaginal flora test as detailed as ours is rarely done by gynecologists and is usually not free. If you suffer from pain or irritation around your genital area or cystitis, I recommend having this examination done as soon as possible. With a vaginal status, the physiological flora (lactobacilli and pH-value) of the vagina is tested and the presence of infection-causing germs can be determined or excluded. B Streptococci, which can harm the baby during birth, are one kind of germs that could be found for example. If the physiological flora is lowered, it can be built-up by lactobacilli-suppositories.

Gut microbiome / flora

The intestine and the intestinal flora together form the biggest immune organ of the body. The term “gut flora” summarizes innumerable bacteria adhering to the intestinal wall. The various species form a community in equilibrium. In a healthy body, they help to repel attacks from external and pathogenic agents. A disturbed balance between healthy and harmful bacteria is called Dysbiosis, as described in scientific studies. If the quality and quantity of the gut flora is destroyed by antibiotics, stress, diet or other circumstances, it can increase the sensitivity to:

saliva stress panel

One of the most accurate tests used for measuring stress hormones nowadays is saliva stress panel. It is done by taking saliva samples a few times a day, measuring how our stress hormone levels change throughout the day.

urine test

Urine tests are very simple to conduct and administer and are often used at Praxis Lemm. Usually, these tests detect bacteria in the urine. In urinary tract infection, we do not recommend using antibiotics if it is not acute. However, if antibiotics are needed, we want to first examine which antibiotics are appropriate to use with the specific bacteria in your urine.

Additionally, hormones and a lot of metabolic substance can be seen in the urine tests.

Sperm Diagnostics

Women can feel discomfort and symptoms of bladder or vaginal infections after sexual intercourse. It is important for not only the woman to get a check up but for the man to get a sperm check up as he could have presence of a bacteria, chlamydia or other infection. Which is important to treat as soon as possible.

blood testing

Blood the most important fluid of the body. The most medical diagnostics and therapies are done by sampling the blood. However, although the blood is very important, we should not forget that the blood is not always giving us the 100% true information about the entire body. Additionally, in the blood we have different compounds and, for example, the level of minerals in the blood cells are not the same as outside of the cells in the blood compound called serum or plasma. Keeping this in mind, the information in the blood are powerful and useful. 

Check below all the tests we offer in our clinic.

VitaCellscan / oligoscan

VitaCellScan/ Oligoscan is a diagnostic method of the well-tried spectral photometry and is applied on the human skin as a light beam with different beam qualities. The different beam qualities are explained according to the existing content of minerals or heavy metals in the tissue. Spectral photometry has been used for a very long time in laboratory medicine, chemistry and pharmacy. Therefore, it is a scientifically recognized procedure. However, VitaCellScan/ Oligoscan in this form (used on the living body) is a procedure not yet recognized by conventional medicine.
