What the hospital does

One work-up, one plan, one ward

St. George Hospital treats conditions in which infection, immune dysfunction, metabolic imbalance and chronic inflammation overlap and no single outpatient pathway has resolved them. The hospital was founded in 1991 and has 70 beds, with physicians and nurses on the ward.

Patients from more than 60 countries have been treated here, in English or German. Programs last from about one week (longevity assessment) to two to five weeks (chronic Lyme disease): how a stay runs. Dr. Julian Douwes leads infectiology, neurorehabilitation and complementary oncology and develops the treatment protocols. Dr. Martin Rößner, Chief Physician, is responsible for day-to-day clinical care and sees patients. Dr. Christiane Godau leads psychosomatic medicine (medical team).

Lyme disease

Chronic Lyme disease and co-infections

More than 12,000 inpatients since 1995. Programs of two to five weeks combine whole-body hyperthermia, antimicrobial therapy, H.E.L.P. apheresis and immune support, chosen after the work-up.

Post-COVID

Long COVID and ME/CFS

The work-up looks for impaired microcirculation, fibrinoid microclots and endothelial dysfunction, the research direction we follow with Dr. Beate Jaeger. The inpatient program runs two to three weeks and can include H.E.L.P. apheresis or immunoadsorption.

Oncology

Integrative oncology

Added to standard oncology, never in place of surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Whole-body and local-regional hyperthermia, photodynamic therapy, low-dose chemotherapy with insulin and immune modulation are planned with you and your oncologist at home, in stays of two to four weeks.

  • Local hyperthermia applicator positioned over a treatment couch

Chronic fatigue

Chronic fatigue syndrome and ME/CFS

The work-up measures mitochondrial function, hormone levels, autonomic regulation and persistent infection before anything is treated. The program runs two to three weeks and tracks energy, cognition and exercise tolerance with the same instruments at baseline, discharge and follow-up.

Longevity

Longevity and preventive medicine

An assessment of about one week: preventive diagnostics, hormone status, gut health and the markers of biological aging, followed by a plan that may include senolytic protocols, NAD+ infusions, IHHT and detoxification.

  • Examination room with an ultrasound system and ECG equipment

How a program starts

How every program starts

You send a short inquiry, free of charge, and the International Office requests your records afterwards. After a medical review and a video call, you receive a written, itemized cost overview before anything is booked. Treatment is self-pay; the itemized invoice in English can be submitted for out-of-network review (costs and insurance).

Some of these therapies are outside standard care. Each is a treatment attempt your physician decides with you, and each therapy page states its evidence. See all therapies and the diagnostics.
