Preface to “A holistic concept of cancer therapy” 

Dr. Wolfgang Woeppel, the founder and first medical director of the Hufeland Klinik, can be rightly called a pioneer of gentle, naturopathically oriented cancer therapy. He was one of the first to base his solution-oriented medical treatment programme on the increasingly holistic perception of illness in our time.

His contributions can not be comprehensively recognised or even evaluated right now, just a year after his premature death in July of 2006. His work extended the boundaries of a form of medicine that persists in applying a natural scientific approach that makes false claims of objectivity and has been misinterpreted.

We have decided to use the following pages just the way he wrote them. Though a few sections have been updated, we have maintained Dr. Woeppel’s “original sound” that quite clearly reveals his extraordinary competence, critical honestly – and last, though certainly not least, the vision of a truly great physician.
