Transcript with time code: https://cuttingedgehealth.com/wp-ontent/uploads/2024/12/Transcript-45-Dr-Ralf-Oettmeier.pdf

This Cutting Edge Health episode features Dr. med Ralf Oettmeier. The title “Dr. med” is commonly used in German-speaking countries in Europe, including Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. It’s equivalent to MD in the US.

Dr. Oettmeier is medical director of the Alpstein Clinic outside of Zurich. It’s at this clinic where they perform INUSpheresis, a cutting-edge detoxification therapy designed to remove waste from plasma. This technique removes environmental toxins, metals, microplastics, pesticides, and inflammatory agents from the blood via a specialized filtration system.

Dr. Oettmeier explains the holistic benefits of INUSpheresis for treating chronic illnesses, post-COVID syndrome, and as a preventive measure against cognitive decline, cancer, and heart disease. The therapy, unavailable in the U.S. due to FDA restrictions, complements traditional treatments like chelation but is gentler on the kidneys. Dr. Oettmeier highlights its effectiveness in improving health metrics.

This conversation with Dr. Oettmeier underscores the importance of addressing toxins for longevity. Learn how this innovative approach has the potential to help you take charge of your well-being and age gracefully.

Dr. med. Ralf Oettmeier is head physician and medical director of the Alpstein Clinic in Gais, Switzerland, an integrative medical practice.

Originally trained in conventional medicine at Friedrich Schiller University in Jena, Germany, Dr. Ralf, as he is called by his clients, acquired knowledge from various alternative forms of therapy over the years. He considers the Alpstein Clinic’s greatest strength to be successfully bringing together various disciplines of complementary medicine, such as homeopathy and acupuncture. Through the interaction of the individual disciplines, they achieve results that would otherwise never have been possible.

One of those therapies is INUSpheresis® where disease-promoting substances and environmental toxins are filtered from your blood. Dr. Oettmeier recently lectured on this at the 14th European Congress of Integrative Medicine.
