MHG announces the launch of Miskawaan Integrative Cancer Care programme

Miskawaan Health Group (MHG) launched Miskawaan Integrative Cancer Care (“MICC”) on 9 March 2021. This special four-week programme is specifically designed for cancer patients who have been treated with conventional oncology therapies (surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation), and who need to rebuild their immune system and their overall health.

Originally trained in Germany and practicing as an anaesthetist, Dr. med. Johannes Wessolly co-founded the Miskawaan Health Group more than three years ago in Thailand to offer his Asian-based patients safe and effective treatment protocols as an alternative to chemical drug-focused conventional medical treatment. Dr. Wessolly treats each patient as a unique whole person; he likes to say “I treat the physiology of my patients, not just their pathology”. Together with a team of dedicated German and Thai doctors and scientists, Dr. Wessolly has developed numerous propriety well-tolerated parenteral (infusion) therapies that are bio-identical to nature and typically applied intravenously for maximum efficacy.

Dr. Wessolly has for more than 20 years pioneered multiple innovative cancer treatment plans. MICC also offers unique proprietary Restoration and Rehabilitation Programmes, either in concert with cancer treatment therapies or independently, to rebuild and restore the patient’s immune system in order to enhance the body’s own ability to recover from cancer and, equally importantly, to avoid a recurrence. MICC Restoration and Rehabilitation Programmes are offered both at MICC Clinic located at JIN Wellbeing County in Bangkok, or at the Miskawaan Luxury Beachfront Villas in Koh Samui to help ensure that patients will return home with a healthy body and mind.
