"Preventive medicine takes a close look at your life style, anticipating health risks, putting your mind and heart at rest, choosing a healthy life."
Joris Vanvinkenroye
President Royal Doctors
For more than 10.000 years, medicine was based on physical aspects only. Diagnoses were made according to what could be seen, heard, felt, smelled and tasted and treatment was often based on intuition. Last century’s breakthroughs in biochemistry and a better understanding of cellular processes ensured that diagnoses as well as therapies rapidly became more effective and on a large scale. Presently, Western medicine is very experienced in the area of molecular processes, DNA-variations, medical imaging, etc. Also (diagnostic) tests which can help determine a clinical picture are better than ever.
Unfortunately, today’s health care systems also mean higher costs for the community leading to notable conclusions. Some examples:
- On pharmaceutical symposia scientists ask themselves aloud whether prolonging the life of a cancer patient by half a year is worth a therapy of $50,000 because treatment is borne by the community, often followed by the lament: if only the doctors had discovered it earlier.
Could you imagine being faced with the same dilemma soon?
-
Many statistics prove that a patient can be treated faster, easier and cheaper if particular clinical pictures are discovered early. Sometimes it can even save live.
Take cardiovascular diseases, for example: 56% of all cases worldwide are caused by high cholesterol levels. Therefore, there is more than 1 chance in 2 that you might be concerned. This can easily be remedied however. A blood analysis is sufficient to determine your cholesterol level and then take appropriate measures.
Prevention is better than a cure. Prevention is cheaper than a cure.
Although the shift from mere treatment to tailor-made patient-orientated care starts to gradually evolve, it is slow and does not go far enough for the Royal Doctors team. We know from experience that extensive medical knowledge and devices are used too little and too late. Although all options are available, except in few cases (chest and prostate exams, skin spots, etc.) prevention is hardly ever practised.
At Royal Doctors we offer you an extensive medical check-up with advanced techniques at reasonable prices. This is perhaps more advantageous than ten-thousands of Euros necessary to pay for operations later.
We at Royal Doctors think that action is of the essence. If you are concerned about your health, we offer you the possibility to pay attention to it whenever you wish. We can put you in contact with the best doctors and right centres where you can calmly (let) take care of something which is of crucial importance in your life: your body. We proceed, in collaboration with the best specialists in each area, according to latest scientific standards and, to establish contact with physicians and investigative centres, go by the book ‘Check-up Medizin. Praxis der Evidenz-basierten Krankheitsprävention’ by Prof. Dr. Uwe Nixdorff, a world authority on preventive medicine.
Your health is our business.
