the practice

Based on a solid basic scientific and conventional medical training, we have been collecting and testing advanced concepts of health, prevention, and therapy for almost 30 years.

Without ideological reservations, we simply use everything that works in a preventative and curative sense.

Feedback from improved patients is particularly important to us. Whenever something has actually been proven to help or even cure, we try to learn from it, integrate it, and use it ourselves if necessary.

The Boss: Dr. Helmut B. Retzek

Based on a solid basic scientific and conventional medical education,

several years of biochemical and molecular biological research at the university with excellent publications,

we have been collecting and testing advanced concepts of health, prevention, and therapy for almost 30 years.

Without ideological reservations, simply everything that works in a preventative and curative sense.

The feedback from improved patients is particularly important to us.

Whenever something has actually demonstrably helped or even cured, we try to learn from it.
…

Secret Weapon: Further Training

Many – often complex – additional training courses and diplomas, ongoing further training, permanent researchgs database, many, many books are the basis of our holistic medicine.

I have been compiling many of these researches for 30 years (since 1991) on my blog page www.ganzemedizin.at . I actually look there myself to see what I have already researched/found on the treatment of certain illnesses.

Diagnostic Range

We use “normal” examinations like in any doctor’s office. Referrals to specialists and radiologists are a given, but we also use specialized laboratories and our secret weapon:

various bioenergetic testing procedures.

This allows us to often find successful treatments for patients who have often been previously treated for many years. Below you will find a detailed list of our diagnostic portfolio.

Typical patients who come to us

• Neurological problems: of any kind if not improved by conventional medical treatment, especially neurodegenerative problems and even genetic problems
• Weakness & Burnout
• ME/CFS & Long Covid
• unclear pain
• chronic infections
• cancer
• aging-related decline, dementia
• autoimmune diseases
• hormonal disorders – what is largely unknown: I have completed six diploma courses in bioidentical hormone therapy.
• patients who have been treated for many years without success
• all strange illnesses where colleagues shrug their shoulders

 

every year we learn new things or deepen and expand on what we already know.

 

 

How did it all develop?

It all began with my sister Ilse

My sister suffered from juvenile polyarthritis since childhood and, after years of struggling, was finally completely cured by homeopathy.

Then: my mother almost died from antibiotic-induced colitis, was hospitalized in every hospital in Upper Austria and Salzburg without improvement, and was finally completely cured by “Hildegard medicine.”

All of this happened before or during my studies.

I myself come from basic scientific research, where you are trained to trust the experiment and its results completely undogmatically, regardless of whether it fits your concept or not.

If homeopathy helped my sister and Hildegard medicine helped my mother, there’s nothing to doubt or criticize about it; then you have to deal with it!

This epistemological background of “critical openness to all options” enabled me to explore everything from family constellations to chemotherapy, from quantum healing to ozone therapy, from orthomolecular to hormone therapy, from parasite treatment to homeopathy, from acupuncture to fascia therapy, and to use what worked well for us.

 

A break in my life leads to extensive training

I devoted the first years of my practice almost exclusively to classical homeopathy. Then, due to heavy metal poisoning, I slipped into severe burnout and was unable to work.

None of the 30 practitioners I consulted were aware of this, and when I finally got myself out of it, we began to focus intensively on toxic loads. This enabled us to help patients who had previously shown little improvement, especially neurological cases.

Since then, countless training courses have followed in many different areas, always following the lead: “Why isn’t this getting better?”

This ultimately led us to chronic – mostly unrecognized – infections: Lyme disease, toxoplasmosis, babesiosis, Epstein-Barr, CMV, and especially parasites, causes of disease completely ignored in conventional medicine. This was followed by several years of searching for reliable and reproducible bioenergetic testing procedures to better cover the diagnostic weaknesses of conventional medicine in these unclear cases.

We are not yet optimally positioned in this area, but we are well enough to answer many questions. From our research days, we retained the ability to search the research database “Pubmed” for research purposes.

In order to access all this information later on, we need toTo conserve and, above all, share with colleagues, I have set up my research website Ganzemedizin.at (formerly Homeopathy.at). Here I share our knowledge and findings free of charge and without ideology.

YouTube blog with testimonials and interesting information

20 years of ongoing scientific research have resulted in a unique health portal that has been praised by many colleagues: www.ganzemedizin.at

 

What can you expect here in the practice?

An interplay of many different diagnostic and therapeutic options that complement and expand conventional medicine, which we love. Below, we want to provide an overview; the links provide further information.

 

Medical History

Usually, every treatment begins with a detailed medical history (interview) lasting 1-2 hours, or up to 3 hours for cancer patients.

You prepare for this with the help of questionnaires. Due to this high time commitment, only a few patients can be seen per day.

This results in longer waiting times for an appointment with Dr. Retzek.

A team of experienced staff led by Dr. Helmut B. Retzek nevertheless ensures that you receive prompt assistance in most cases. You will always receive optimal care from a team member, as we are in constant communication and supervision and have developed standardized diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for many illnesses.

 

Diagnostics

We advocate the philosophy of anamnesis-based, targeted diagnostics: only diagnostically and therapeutically relevant laboratory values ​​are recommended.

Laboratory Diagnostics

Standard conventional medical laboratory services are covered by health insurance; unfortunately, special examinations for modern preventive medicine are to be paid for by the patient (we pass on the purchase prices of the diagnostic laboratories without surcharge).

• Our main laboratory for parasite findings and microimmune therapy is Dostal / Vienna.
• Our main laboratory for Borrelia and co-infection findings is the German Chronic Disease Laboratory DCL – minimum fee €350.00.
• We are friends with the St. Georg Clinic in Bad Aibling. We prepare the necessary laboratory tests and preparations for Borrelia hyperthermia and provide follow-up treatment, including for their cancer patients.
• We are happy to perform the Lymphocyte Subtyping Immune Status according to Glady (microimmunotherapy/BigMed) because it is covered by health insurance. Of course, we also completed the entire training with Dr. Glady and Dr. Bubendorfer.

 

Special examinations

• Hormone status (saliva, blood), xenohormones, infertility diagnostics
• Intestinal check, stool diagnostics, M2-PK cancer marker, food intolerances IgE, IgG4
• Heavy metal exposure (DMPS / DMSA / Desferal / EDTA chelator excretion tests)
• LTT Borrelia, heavy metals, dental materials, food
• Chronic viruses: Herpes (zoster), EBV, CMV … via Hamwi Laboratory / Dostal / Univ. Graz
• Tumor detection: TKTL1, Apo10, M2PK tumor markers in stool or blood, Tu markers
• Circulating tumor cells
• With chemosensitivity measurements: Maintrack Pachmann (approx. 3000)
• Since 2024: NextGenOncology with chemosensitivity measurements (approx. 3000)
• Atherosclerosis risk, Lipomun-LDL electrophoresis, Lp(A), fatty acid status, coronary artery calcium score
• Burn-out diagnostics, adrenal dysfunction, Thyroid dysfunction, KPU, fatigue and fibromyalgia ultrasound (CFS, FMS, CSS)
• GPRAAK – Measurement for ME/CFS and Long COVID
• We no longer perform stool parasite tests – completely pointless. In addition to bioenergetic testing, we use the dark field technique, in which the parasite larvae are often visible. We also use the Dostal laboratory at the University of Vienna – but we can only test for 6 parasite species there.
• We rarely perform genetic status, detox enzymes, liver detoxification, glutathione/ATP measurements, stool cultures – all only upon request; I’m not an expert in this area because I’m too old!

Any “new” and potentially promising diagnosisWe absolutely have to get to know about nostics. Don’t hesitate to bring this to our attention; we want to learn and welcome every new option that improves our perspective on the nature of illnesses and their healing.

 

Energetic Diagnoses

After years of painstaking validation, “energetic testing systems” have now become an important part of our practice, as they often provide quick and cost-effective clues to specific illnesses. However, energetic diagnoses are usually supplemented by imaging or laboratory diagnostics. We routinely use the following testing systems:

• Applied Kinesiology
• Dental Focus Diagnostics
• ART according to Klinghardt
• Light Kinesiology according to Renzo Celani
• RAC Pulse Testing with Polarizing Filter
• BDORT according to Dr. Yoshiaki Omura
• AMA according to Dr. Simon Yu = modified electroacupuncture according to Voll

To be honest: we have learned everything and often used and practiced it for months in practice, but we work 95% of the time with the RAC Pulse Test, as it has the highest sensitivity and reproducibility.

We can often only narrow down and diagnose many of the often “cryptic” neurological diseases in this way: seronegative neuroborreliosis or other brain infections, parasitic infections, heavy metal contamination, chemtrail exposure, scarring and focal disorders – because conventional medical diagnostics are either incomplete or lacking.

 

Therapies

We have learned numerous therapeutic procedures in extensive “diploma courses” and have tested them for effectiveness. This is necessary because, unfortunately, not everything “helps as well as one has learned in courses, lectures, or books.”

Although we are “committed conventional medical practitioners,” the complementary therapies listed below are important and often necessary additions, as virtually all of our patients come with long-standing conventional medical diagnosis and treatment. Complementary healing modalities, especially ozone therapies and some “medical devices” or “apparatus,” mostly originate from modern integrative medicine.

Complementary Healing Methods

Here I summarize the routinely (daily) used additional methods in order of frequency of use.

• Classical Homeopathy by experienced teaching therapists
• Complex remedies according to Josef Buchegger
• Chelation therapies, detox with DMPS, DMSA, DTPA, Desferal, DMSO
• With measurement of heavy metal contamination from urine/stool using DMPS/DMSA/EDTA provocation tests
• Infusion follow-up care after chemotherapy/radiation
  • High-dose vitamin C – up to 1.3g / kg body weight
  • Curcumin infusions,
  • Chelators,
  • Selenite infusion
  • Amygdalin / Laetrile / B17 therapy
  • Albumin carrier therapy MTX-HSA
  • DCA infusion
  • High-dose mistletoe infusions (up to 1000 mg)
• Infusion therapies for stress, immune deficiency (manager cocktail, Omega 3 IV, high-dose vitamins and coenzymes, magnesium/zinc, amino acid cocktails according to Landenberger & Spitz…)
• Tooth-Focal Diagnostics and temporary test therapy or targeted training for biological dentists
• Diploma in Orthomolecular Medicine
• Macula Acupuncture according to John Boel | Regular assistantship at/for diploma courses by John Boel
• Benaudira  – Brain Training –> abandoned
• Palm therapy
• Laser therapies (Haemolaser, Weber laser)
• Bengal rose – DMSO infiltration
• Insulin-potentiated therapies – IPT (now only with biological substances after chemosensitivity testing)
• We have abandoned the following therapies because they are too complex for our everyday practice (staff shortages)
  • Insulin-potentiated chemotherapy (possibly with hyperthermia) after chemosensitivity testing according to Dr. Forsythe (originally abandoned, now only with biological substances after chemosensitivity testing)
  • Whole-body hyperthermia procedures –> discontinued
  • Local shortwave hyperthermia (oncothermia) for cancer –> discontinued
  • Galvanotherapies, ECC, BET –> discontinued

 

Pain Therapies

• Neural Therapy,
• Acupuncture – BOEL Acupuncture (Lenna is Boel’s assistant during courses)
• Mesotherapy,
• LnB (Liebscher Bracht),
• Diploma in Palliative Medicine,
• Here, especially SOZO Neuromodulation Therapy according to Petros Kattou#

 

Ozone Therapy – Different Methods

After being “skeptical” about ozone therapy for a long time as a classical homeopath, we have now developed a great love for this “ancient therapy” because it significantly helps us with chronic infections, especially the Epstein-Barr virus. We also see possibilities for joint wear, joint pain, and ligament injuries with “Prolozone” – a combination of proliferation therapy and ozone therapy (Dr. Rob Hauser, Dr. Shallenberger) that we simply didn’t have before.

Ozone procedure

• Ozone-saline infusion,
• small / large autologous blood ozone therapy,
• Ozone-thymus therapy
• Ozone fumigation of wounds
• vaginal ozone insufflation (especially for chronic or recurrent cystitis)
• We are particularly proud that through our own treatment with Dr. Lahodny / St. Pölten learned his therapy and is one of the few in Europe to be able to apply it!
• High-dose ozone multi-pass therapy according to Dr. Lahodny,
• From the USA, we have adopted from Dr. Robert Rowen: diluted ozone-saline blood UV irradiation and, new: ozone-blood-saline laser therapy
• Ozone + UV blood irradiation,
• Ozone + blood laser irradiation

–> Great for Epstein-Barr and other chronic infections.

 

Apparate therapy procedures

Apparate therapies have proven effective for some diseases. We only work with procedures that have proven to be VERY successful (for specific indications) in many integrative medicine clinics and practices. Some of these therapies have already been mentioned in the section above.

• Haemo-Laser: for rheumatism, fatigue, burnout
• Weber Frequency Laser: ditto, especially with blue light or UV light with photodynamic substances for cancer
  • Photodynamic Tumor Therapy (Laser) according to Weber
  • Frequency Laser as a supplement to the Haemo-Laser
  • Photodynamic Virus Therapy with Riboflavin + Blue Laser
• LED: Laser-enhanced Detoxification (Lee Cowden), Laser Field Therapy (Klinghardt)
• Elec-Magnetron – we are happy to do this
• 150MHz – we’re happy to do it
• Bioptron lamp with polarized light according to Dr. Walter Surböck
• RIFE frequency therapy with the plasma tube – new since 2024, the first tests with patients are very encouraging (patients with toxoplasmosis, Lyme disease, EBV, etc.)
• Biophoton Realignment Therapy according to Renzo Celani – we have discontinued it because the personnel carrying out the therapy have gone into business for themselves.
• We have discontinued whole-body hyperthermia (fever bed) because it was so labor-intensive; it is now carried out for us at the St. Georg Clinic in Bad Aibling.
• Local shortwave hyperthermia Onkotherm EHY2000 for cancer and metastases – we have discontinued it for the same reasons.
• Prostate hyperthermia according to Dr. Friedrich Douwes / Bad Aibling for benign prostatic hyperplasia and localized prostate cancer – currently not possible because no catheters are available
• Galvanotherapy | ECT (Electro-Cancer-Therapy) for cancer and metastases – we have given up for the same reasons

 

Team

• Bioenergetic Testing: Lenna Retzek, MBA BSci Dipl. Pharmaref. Dipl. Nutrition Coach

 

Appointments

We are open Mon-Thurs 8am-7pm. Appointments can only be made via the secretary’s phone call, see below. You will almost always get an answering machine because the secretary is on the phone for 6 hours a day, but you will be called back reliably! Appointments involve a certain waiting time.Please also schedule this if you would like another appointment or a series of appointments (e.g., for a chronic illness such as neuroborreliosis, the Coimbra Protocol, or additional cancer therapy).

Waiting times for a “regular appointment”

• Dr. Retzek: 4-5 months
• Lenna Retzek (bioenergetic testing): 3-4 weeks
• Tobias Eisenkolb (can do almost anything): 2-3 weeks
• DKS Michaela Landershamer (ozone therapies, infusion therapies, and much more): 1-3 days
• DKS Cornelia Riedler (infusion therapies, brain stimulation): 1-2 weeks

 

Contact

The only reliable way to contact us is by phone: +43-(0)7672-23700 – Mon-Thurs until noon. There’s a very high chance you’ll get an answering machine, as Petra or Sigi are always on the phone. This answering machine is for your convenience; we’ll call you back as soon as possible, so you don’t have to try again and again.

If you call in the afternoon, you’ll be called back the next day.

Please speak your name, request, and callback number slowly and clearly!

email: office@ganzemedizin.at (Secretary Petra Brandmair or Siglinde Wundsam). Emailing Dr. Retzek directly isn’t advisable, as there are too many. They’re hardly ever read anymore, and even less likely to be answered!

Long descriptions of findings with requests for a response are hopeless. I’ve created my own contact page here, that provides more detailed information, including directions. Address: A-4840 Vöcklabruck in Upper Austria – Oberbleichfleck 2

Another note regarding the “friendliness” of the office

Our secretaries react defensively when they are pressured or spoken to rudely on the phone. Callers sometimes think they’re entitled to appointments or an immediate consultation with the doctor and don’t want to accept the wait. The unreasonable demands these ladies sometimes tell me are hair-raising!

Also: It’s always fascinating to see that patients who are super nice and friendly to me, the doctor, are then haughty, rude, bossy, and demanding when they get to the nurses or the secretary outside the door.

We actually don’t need these patients in our office; please go to a colleague!

For real emergencies

you can only reach us through colleagues and friends who have my private phone number, sorry.

Unlike a “normal doctor”…

Of course, this means that we often act “non-guideline-compliant,” even using “unapproved herbal remedies,” dietary supplements, homeopathic remedies, etc. We also particularly like to use proper medications—but “off-label.”

Many medications have “side effects” that are usually extensively researched and known, but are not automatically used.

This is called repurposing of medications that are used “off-label” as part of an individual therapeutic trial.

I emphasize this here because, for example, I prescribed METFORMIN as a cancer treatment for prostate cancer to the father of a doctor, and his other son – a lawyer – sued me for it.

This means that they receive good conventional medicine and comprehensive integrative holistic medicine from us.

EXTENDED to include extensive supplementation with “off-label” medications and extensive additional training, many diplomas and courses, including in “holistic” therapy concepts.

Repurposing of medications – especially parasite medications

We extensively use repurposed medications, especially parasite medications, as adjunctive therapies (to conventional medicine) for cancer.

Due to my 7 years of research background (2 of which in the laboratory of a university in Canada), I am very familiar with the PUBMED research database.

due to my biochemical and molecular biology background

It’s very easy for me to screen the current research literature, as I worked as a biochemist for many years as an assistant in basic university research during my medical studies, including two years in a research laboratory in Canada (UVA). Several PubMed publications document my diligence and enthusiasm.

I would like to highlight the first cloning and sequencing of c-cathepsin D – an enzyme that later became known as AIDS proteinase – at a time when we still had to do everything laboriously by hand!

 

Became a doctor out of personal interest in “holistic medicine”

My sister and my mother were both seriously ill and, although they were both very well cared for with conventional medications in various hospitals, they did not recover.

Only through “alternative medicine” treatments (homeopathy, Hildegard medicine) did both fully recover.

These experiences with the severely suffering family members, the fear and hope, the helplessness of the esteemed doctors, and at the same time their ignorance and disparagement of the “alternatives” that ultimately worked, had a profound impact on me, and I wanted to build a bridge here with my “scientific spirit” and interest.suggest and research and use everything that is helpful in practice.

 

now – 2024 – I have attended over 300 additional courses

certified anti-aging physician, certified palliative care physician, certified emergency physician, certified nutritional physician, certified for integrative biological cancer therapy

Hormone therapy, ozone therapy, hyperthermia, acupuncture, Boel acupuncture, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, photodynamic laser therapy and hemolaser, Oxyven, etc.

Several bioenergetic testing systems: BDORT (learned directly from Prof. Yoshiaki Omura in the USA), kinesiology (Klinghardt and FMD), AMA = EAV (learned from Simon Yu), RAC pulse test.
