Arcadia Clinic

Last summer, my daughter( 33 years) and I spent three weeks at the Arcadia clinic, following her cancer diagnosis.
In the Netherlands my daughter was expected to undergo an intensive protocol, including heavy chemotherapie. However, she chose not to follow this conventional path and, after extensive research, we found the Arcadia Clinic.
Living in such an uncertain and frightening time is incredibly challenging, especially when you opt for a holistic approach, as no doctor or oncologist in the conventional system support this choice!

At the Arcadia Clinic, my daughter regained her strength, enveloped by the love and care from all sides. The nurses and the doctors, and the ladies of the bistro who prepared delicious and healthy, organic meals for us every day created an atmosphere that felt like a warm embrace. This nurturing environment made the treatments feel less burdensome.

As a mother I was deeply grateful to be able to stay close to my daughter during this three weeks and I am incredebly thankful for the opportunity to have spent this time together in such a remarkable clinic, where we could heal and find solace.

I live in Australia, and following a prostate cancer diagnosis in June 2021 at the age of 64, I declined any standard treatment offered by my urologist, as I was not ready to cope with the potential side effects of prostatectomy or radiotherapy. I decided to monitor the status of the tumour with the assistance of my integrative doctor. During that time and intensive research, I discovered the website of the Arcadia Clinic in Bad Emstal. I was impressed by their alternative approach to treat cancer patients.
In May 2024 my MRI scan revealed that my tumour had suddenly grown in size. I decided to contact the Arcadia clinic for consultation, and I ended up meeting Dr Hennig Saupe in Germany in July 2024.
Dr Saupe came across very personable and caring, and towards the end of the consultation he was convinced that my cancer could be cured by Focal Therapy, a relative new non-invasive form of prostate cancer treatment. Dr Saupe suggested to contact the Private Prostate Clinic in Heidelberg, Germany.
I followed Dr Saupe's suggestion, and 3 months later I arrived at the Prostate Therapy clinic in Heidelberg for treatment. I spent less than 24 hours in the clinic with superb treatment and attendance by all staff involved.
Six weeks later, back in Australia, my MRI report revealed that there were no signs of a tumour or remaining prostate cancer cells left.

Without my visit to the Arcadia clinic, and Dr Saupe's expansive up-to-date knowledge of alternative treatments available for cancer patients, I wouldn't be today in this fantastic position of physical and mental health - without any side effects whatsoever.

Thank you Arcadia Clinic and Dr Henning Saupe.

Breast cancer – from shock to choosing the road less traveled:
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the hospital January 16th and operated January 19th 2024 my default way of trying to cope was to seek as much information as possible about the subject.
Some of the items on the “to do list” was to activate both my health and critical illness insurance and
to book different kind of treatments such as zone therapy, acupuncture and physiotherapy besides going to the standard follow-up appointments at the hospital.

I let fear keep me busy after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
Looking back I can see it was rooted in the belief that “doing” would make it possible to go back to “normal life”.

Arcadia-Praxisklinik in Germany
I became aware of Arcadia located 2 hrs drive from Frankfurt Airport.
After an initial call with MD Henning Saupe and by listing to his book “Holistic Cancer medicine” I just knew this was the path I wanted at this point in time.

At Arcadia I read “There´s a Hole in my sidewalk” by Portia Nelson whilst waiting for the first session. It resonated with me and continues to do so…

The individual treatment plan at Arcadia is created based on the medical record and relevant tests are done when arriving at arcadia. Tests continues to be done on an ongoing basis during the stay to ensure the best possible treatments every step of the way.

During the 2 weeks I stayed at Arcadia I could feel a shift of energy. From feeling restless and full of fear to waking up feeling connected to something “new and yet perhaps familiar”. It felt like a small seed of bubbly curiosity full of light, hope and a sense of courage.

Back home
I have no longer the need for trying to get back to “what was normal life” before being diagnosed with breast cancer. It also means I for the second time have said no thank you to start on chemotherapy, radiation and tamoxifen offered by the doctor at the hospital.

Grateful
To embark of the path of healing at Arcadia is the most beautiful place to start the journey due to the people and the heart felt vibration.
I will always be grateful to everyone at Arcadia and I sincerely wish patients from all over the world will continue to benefit from the holistic approach to health and healing which Arcadia is based on.

At Arcadia you are met for who you are!!! the doctors and the rest of the staff are all very competent, professional and full of love....I felt completely safe and open to healing. I highly recommend this wonderful place.

I am here with my daughter for treatment of Stage 3 breast cancer. After 10 days, her tumor size shrank from 3.4 to 1.9 cm! The clinic offers all of the best integrative cancer treatments gathered from the world. The staff is amazing, the area is beautiful, and I wish that I could give 10 stars rating.

The worst experience of my life, I have lost my mother in this clinic. Just don't go

I was at Arcadia september 2020, for 3 wonderful weeks. The staff is so caring and nice, and i felt very good and safe. The treatments was great, and i had almost no side effects, a little nausea. I came to Arcadia full of anxiety and fear, and i left feeling so much stronger both phsicaly and emotionally. The very best part of everything is that the cancer unbalance in my body dissappered. I am NED, and so very thankful to this clinic, the staff and God, for giving me the tools, that my body and mind needed to heal.

Do not go there!
I stayed there for 3,5 weeks. Super friendly staff but they do not seem to know what they are doing (the doctors does not, the nurses are great).
Nothing worked on me. Zero results after paying 30 000euros.
One other patient died during my stay, one got severe side effects from the treatment, one other got worse. I acutely got worse too. My cancer kept on growing like nothing had happened in Germany. (They take in up to 10 patients at a time so the statistics are really bad) I do not recommend this clinic. (And they do not tell you about the risks of side effects)
They have no statistics on successful or non successful cases because they do no follow ups. If they do not collect the data it is easier to say that everything is going really well. Crazy place.
Do not go there.

Dr. Henning Saupe, leading physician Arcadia-Praxisklinik

I consider myself very fortunate to have been able to start my healing journey in the manner, I felt comfortable and right for me and I am forever grateful for the Arcadia team and the healing I have experienced both physically and spiritually during each of my three visits at the clinic.

The entire team is very knowledgable and caring. My husband and me always felt very comfortable, seen and heard at all times. They limit the amount of patients at a time so that each patient gets the time, care and attention they deserve.

Accommodation, three meals a day as well as bi- weekly laundry service are provided.

It definitely does not feel like you are staying at a hospital or somewhere you are going for cancer treatments. I really appreciated the warm and almost family like vibe from everyone, while still getting the necessary care.

We live in Hawaii, USA but consider the Arcadia clinic my primary care and can honestly say we have never trusted a doctor more than we trust Dr Henning Saupe and his team. I am in Remission since beginning of this year and still look forward to returning for a "boost up" treatment.

I wish you well and hope this review gives you a little insight and comfort to choose Arcadia clinic for your healing journey too.
