Treatment philosophy
Natural healing, taken seriously.
How severe chronic disease is approached in this program: individually, gently, and without mixing in approaches that pull against each other.

Results that come from depth, not shortcuts.
This approach has successfully seen the elimination of dozens of end stage cancers through entirely natural means and either healed or dramatically improved by 90% or more a broad range of other severe chronic diseases that were thought entirely resistant to treatment, let alone cure, including cerebral palsy and genetic disorders.
The approach acknowledges that every patient is deeply unique, therefore so every protocol must be, and as the patient heals the protocol has to be constantly adjusted.
The treatment philosophy
Healing that goes beyond the physical — when it can.
The treatment philosophy is that every disease has a cure in theory, while also acknowledging that not every patient can push through to the final stages of healing that extend beyond the physical and are sometimes required to deeply heal even at the physical level. Disease serves some higher purpose in a patient’s spiritual journey, both through persevering through it and figuring out how to heal from it. In some cases that purpose does not allow a cure in the physical sense even if it is theoretically possible, but struggling to cure the disease still brings about a deeper form of healing and peace.
One coherent approach
Mixing philosophies only waters this one down.
Mixing this philosophy with other philosophies will only water it down. We do not turn away those who aren’t ready to stop seeing their other practitioners, but we can provide complete support to every patient and manage all of their care. Dr. Haider is trained in Internal Medicine, or general practice, and has also studied functional medicine, and classical Chinese medicine. He has worked in hospital wards, ERs, and ICUs for over 15 years. Hakim Shahbaz is a trained naturopath and traditionally authorized Hakim.
Respecting the body’s intelligence
Treat gently. Remove what causes harm.
In our approach the body is respected and dealt with gently as it has an innate intelligence that is attempting to do everything possible to keep the patient alive in the face of whatever toxins, pathogens and nutrient deficiencies have triggered the disease. The body’s manoeuvres are very often themselves the source of the bothersome symptoms and disease processes, and since they are present for a reason, some deep harmful cause, they cannot be brushed aside, or covered up the way they usually are in mainstream and even many alternative medical clinics.
- Remove what is actively causing harm — foods, emotions, thoughts, and activities
- Calm the nervous system’s chronic alarm response
- Bolster the immune system and detox pathways with nutritional support and enough sleep
- Clear what has collected in the body of toxins and pathogens using supplements and broad-spectrum (non-pharmaceutical) antimicrobials
What treatment looks like
Taper pharmaceuticals. Build a livable protocol.
The aim of treatment will include tapering and eventually discontinuing any existing pharmaceuticals if at all possible, while not introducing any new drugs, peptides, hormones, or even isolated active substances from herbs and the like.
The treatments will usually be based on an initial phase of dietary restriction, improving sleep, changing activity — often restricting exercise initially — breathwork protocols, and will usually include some herbs, supplements, enemas, and juicing. They may include recommendations to get a sauna blanket and/or a red light therapy device. In later phases of the protocol the dietary restrictions usually continue but at a much more tolerable level with adequate replacements for most foods that continue to be off the allowed list.
- Dietary restriction and sleep improvement
- Activity changes and breathwork
- Herbs, supplements, enemas, and juicing as appropriate
- Optional tools such as sauna blankets or red light therapy
