The people behind
Vitalstoffmedizin
Behind this portal stands Verein FIMS — Promoting Integrative Medicine in Switzerland: non-profit, donation-based and supported by experts from medicine and research. We prepare knowledge about vital substances so that it helps interested lay people just as much as therapists and conventional medical professionals.
Verein FIMS — Promoting Integrative Medicine in Switzerland
Verein FIMS has set itself the goal of promoting various integrative forms of therapy — in particular vital substance and orthomolecular medicine — raising their profile, documenting their effectiveness and connecting professionals with each other.
Our vision: linking complementary and conventional treatment approaches so that they complement each other meaningfully — so that patients receive the best possible holistic treatment.

Portal
www.vitalstoffmedizin.ch — knowledge for lay people and professionals
ⓘ
One association, one practice, one manufacturer — who does what?
Verein FIMS shares knowledge and runs this portal — on a non-profit basis. Treatments take place at the partner practice Wise Medicine in Winterthur, Brugg and Zuzwil. Vital substance products are developed and distributed by our partner kingnature. To keep knowledge and advertising cleanly separated, product references on this website are always labelled as advertisements.
