Understanding chronic complaints
We take time for your history, review earlier findings and look for the causes of your complaints. From this we develop an individual treatment plan.

Understanding the person.
Finding the causes.
Seeing the whole picture.
Every complaint has a history. We take the time to understand it, to put earlier findings into context and to look for the causes.
Seegarten Klinik combines sound conventional medicine with functional and integrative medicine. We look at the person as a whole: physical health, circumstances of life and the influences of the environment.
A particular focus is the investigation and treatment of chronic complaints, even when earlier examinations have not provided a sufficient explanation. We also support people who wish to maintain their health, prevent illness and improve their performance.
“Every illness has a cause.”
Dr. med. John van Limburg Stirum, Medical Director and Founder
Staying healthy
Health deserves attention before complaints arise. With targeted check-ups and individual advice we support you in prevention, better ageing and maintaining your performance.
Prevention and better ageingHow your assessment begins
For the assessment of complex chronic complaints, please first send us your medical records. After a preliminary review, free of charge, we decide on the next steps.
Preparing for your consultationWhat to expect
What we offer.
Time for the whole story
A thorough medical history and a discussion of your laboratory results: searching for causes takes more than a quarter of an hour.
Our own in-house laboratory
Key results are available during your consultation, not days later.
A wide range of treatments and infusions
From iron and micronutrients to autologous blood therapy, in the clinic’s own infusion centre.
The right fit
Are we the right clinic for you?
Seegarten Klinik is there for people who want to understand their complaints better and improve their health in a targeted way.
You are looking for help with chronic complaints.
Your complaints have persisted for some time or keep coming back. Perhaps numerous examinations have already been carried out, yet a sufficient explanation or an effective treatment is still missing.
You would like an overall medical assessment.
We consider your findings to date in the context of your personal history, your circumstances and possible environmental influences.
You want to stay healthy.
You are looking for individual advice on prevention, better ageing or maintaining your physical and mental performance.
You are looking for a general practitioner.
We look after you and your family in general medical matters and involve our network of specialists where needed.
Deciding the next steps together
You bring your experience, your questions and your findings to date. We review them openly and carefully. Which examinations and treatments make sense we decide together with you, on the basis of the medical assessment.
Your participation matters to us. We take into account what your health allows and how much you can cope with.
The difference
Not managing symptoms — resolving causes.
Most treatments start with the symptoms. We take the opposite route: first the harmful cause has to be identified and eliminated; only then do regulation and rebuilding follow.
We treat people, not diagnoses.
Philosophy
Seeing the whole picture.
Dr. med. John van Limburg Stirum founded Seegarten Klinik in the knowledge that conventional medicine often merely manages illnesses instead of healing them. SGK deliberately positions itself between pure alternative medicine and classical conventional medicine: it integrates conventional medical standards with functional medicine, detoxification and targeted changes in behaviour.
“The harmful causes must first be identified and eliminated.”Treatment philosophy of Seegarten Klinik
- Depth instead of superficiality
- Better ageing and prevention
- Genuine healing instead of chronic illness
- Joined-up, systemic thinking
Understanding medicine. Sharing knowledge.
