The Gorter Model is a novel and creative approach in the treatment of cancer patients and other chronic diseases, such as infections with hepatitis B and C and HIV. In the Gorter Model, traditional academic (western) medicine is combined with new therapies, which have a sound scientific basis, but are not commonly applied yet.
Therefore, therapeutic interventions and their outcome, including changes in quality of life of all patients, who are treated according to the Gorter Model, will be uniformly documented on a regular basis. In this way, efficacy can be evaluated and therapy modalities can be adjusted.
The Gorter Model has been developed over the last four decades under the direction of Robert W.D. Gorter, MD, PhD .
The goal of the treatment is to improve the immune system (“immune restoration”). The basic elements of the Gorter Model are the integration of the therapies and protocols in a schedule designed specifically for each patient. For more than a decade now, documentation and evaluation of all data is being conducted by research fellows who will receive their masters degree or PhD from German or international universities world-wide through work in association with the Gorter Model team.
Over the past twelve years, more than 4000 patients were treated according to the Gorter Model. Conditions that have been successfully treated include all metastasized solid tumors, such as breast, prostate, lung, brain, liver, colon and bone cancer.
96% of all patients were at the end stages of cancer and for them, the team was their last hope. However, they frequently experience partial remission and stabilize for several years with a very positive quality of life or even sustained and complete remission. The treatment implies hope, although not all patients improve.
The Gorter Model is designed to restore and enhance immune function, enabling the immune system to aggressively and effectively combat cancer cells throughout the body. The treatment may involve some or all of the following therapies to optimize immune function or to directly destroy the cancer cells:
