In Cyprus, you can buy almost anything. Even the hope that you will not grow old, that you will not fall ill, or that a “frequency” will fix what conventional medicine does not promise to cure miraculously. The paradox is that while conventional medicine may consider you healthy, the industry of “regeneration”, anti-ageing and longevity can turn you into a patient. Suddenly, you have “toxins”, “imbalances”, “blockages”, “inflammation” or cells that need “repair”. And together with the “problem”, of course, comes the solution. A personalised protocol, a series of sessions and a price list with several digits.
Behind terms such as “detoxification”, “quantum biofeedback”, “energy medicine” and “cellular regeneration”, a market has emerged that borrows the language, appearance and authority of medicine. A clinic, almost sterile. Medical machines, tests, “findings”, identification of the “cause”, a personalised protocol and follow-up assessments.
The Politis investigation identified at least 20 centres and individual providers in Cyprus advertising, among other things, bioresonance, quantum biofeedback, energy medicine and full-body “scans”. In this market, headsets are said to “scan” organs and reach as far as DNA, electromagnetic frequencies are claimed to “retrain” cells, and services are linked not only to anti-ageing and longevity but also to syndromes and diseases such as autism, ADHD, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis.
€900 “detox” packages
All of this, of course, comes at a price. Hundreds of euros for tests and sessions, and up to €900 for “detoxification”, stress-management and “brainwave retraining” packages. And there are people, somewhere in their forties and fifties, educated and financially comfortable, who have just encountered for the first time a body that no longer obeys them completely and cannot accept it, and who are willing to pay.
The fear of illness, decline and death is human, as Greek psychiatrist Dimitris Papadimitriadis said in a public intervention. The anti-ageing industry, however, does not sell years of life. It sells the fantasy that we can buy an exemption from the human condition. And that fantasy, however much we pay for it, does not correspond to reality.
Cyprus is no exception. And in our country too, as a representative of the Cyprus Federation of Patients’ Associations (OSAK) told Politis, “we buy hope at a high price”.
The shop window
Wellness serves as the shop window. A person walks into a centre to lose weight, “detox”, gain more energy or delay ageing. They may, however, leave with a supposed hormonal disorder, toxins, parasites, inflammation or organ dysfunction and, of course, with the corresponding “treatment” package.
At the other end of the same market are children with autism, ADHD or cerebral palsy, people with autoimmune diseases, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, depression and other genuine conditions. Different needs, fears and expectations. The same machines, the same “frequencies” and the same promise that somewhere lies the “root” of the problem.
Based on complaints from members of the public and publicly available material, Politis mapped this specific market. It identified at least 20 centres and individual providers across Cyprus advertising bioresonance, quantum biofeedback, energy medicine, full-body “scans” and treatments through electromagnetic frequencies, and presents the “services” they offer.
The mapping exercise has particular significance following the Health Minister’s announcement of a review of premises where high-risk invasive treatments are provided. Beyond invasive procedures, however, a broader market of services has developed, adopting the language, image and entire process of medicine: “examination”, “finding”, identification of the “cause”, personalised protocol and follow-up assessment.
What they promise citizens
1. Autism, ADHD and cerebral palsy
A centre in Paphos states that it works with more than 100 diseases and health conditions. Its list includes autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, muscular atrophy and peripheral neuropathy. It offers bioresonance, photobiomodulation and other “neurotherapies”, claiming that frequencies can enhance neuroplasticity, improve muscle and nerve tissue function and support cellular regeneration.
Appointments can be made without a medical referral, while the centre’s public presentation does not indicate a recognised specialisation in paediatric neurology or developmental paediatrics for the individual providing the services.
2. From toxins to autoimmune diseases
The same centre presents bioresonance as a “cutting-edge therapy” that uses electromagnetic frequencies to detect and correct energy imbalances. It claims to identify “unhealthy frequencies” associated with toxins, pathogens and dysfunctions.
The service is advertised for chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, autoimmune diseases, digestive disorders and systemic inflammation. During the first session, an “energy field scan” is performed using electrodes or handheld devices, and the client receives a report on heavy metals, pesticides, fungi, parasites, viruses and organ systems.
3. Autism, hypnotherapy and animal treatments
A centre in Paralimni presents itself both as a holistic health centre and an educational organisation. Its founder uses the titles “Dr.”, “ND” and “PhD” and describes herself as a naturopath and biofeedback practitioner, not as a paediatrician, paediatric neurologist or developmental specialist. Nevertheless, its services include “holistic support” for autism, ADHD and attention deficit disorder, children’s hypnotherapy and quantum biofeedback.
The same centre offers a separate biofeedback service for animals, sells SCIO and Mandelay Q9 devices and trains future practitioners who will use them.
4. Headaches, migraines and depression
A second centre in Famagusta district advertises “innovative therapies” for headaches, migraines, anxiety and depression. Its founder states that she is trained in quantum biofeedback, bioresonance, naturopathy and practices described as “DNA therapy”, without presenting a recognised speciality in Psychiatry or Clinical Psychology.
The centre says it provides “therapeutic sessions for health problems” and combines these practices with psychosomatic therapies, acupuncture, detoxification, NLP and hypnotherapy.
5. From headsets to DNA
A centre in Larnaca, which says it specialises in the “natural treatment” of chronic illnesses, candidiasis and heavy metal toxicity, advertises examinations using headsets and Metatron NLS software. It claims the machine examines more than 250 organs, tissues and cells, performs “cross-sections” at cellular and tissue level, separates chromosomes and reaches sections of the DNA helix.
According to the centre itself, three-dimensional models of internal organs and colour-coded indicators appear on the screen, helping the “doctor” identify pathology, much as a surgeon would obtain a biopsy, without a needle, sample or recognised laboratory test.
6. Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and diabetes
The same centre’s website promotes the purported “Med Bed” technology, which is said to use quantum and vibrational fields for diagnosis, repair and regeneration of the body.
The material refers to reconstructing damaged organs, joints and nerves, restoring vision, hearing and teeth, removing heavy metals and reversing ageing.
Potential targets are said to include autoimmune diseases, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cardiovascular conditions and diabetes. The post acknowledges that the beds are not yet available to the public, but presents them as a “suppressed technology” that conventional science has not yet caught up with.
7. Diseases at cellular level
In Nicosia, an individual using the title “Dr.” advertises bioresonance as a treatment for a “wide range of pathological conditions”. It is claimed that electromagnetic pulses can act at the level of the cell, membrane, tissue, organ or the entire organism.
The so-called Vega test is presented as a method of overall health assessment and “diagnosis” of individual organs and tissues. The same premises offer homeopathy, hirudotherapy, peptides and nutritional therapy, while the test results are used to select appropriate “therapeutic influences”.
8. Quantum sound therapy
A facility in Nicosia advertises quantum biofeedback via a device that allegedly records the body’s response to more than 15,000 “voltometric signatures”. It claims to identify stress linked to allergies, diseases and addictions and then send electromagnetic waves back to the body in order to “retrain” cellular frequencies.
The same centre offers “quantum sound therapy” to restore cells to a “healthy harmonic resonance” and advertises session packages costing hundreds of euros.
The initial quantum biofeedback session, lasting 90 to 120 minutes, costs €240, while follow-up sessions cost €150 or €180. Prepaid three-month programmes for “detoxification”, stress management, “brainwave retraining” and “emotional balancing” cost up to €900 for six sessions, while three-session packages are sold for €480 or €540.
9. Organs, bones and food intolerances
Another provider in Nicosia advertises a “Body Check”, during which the client wears special headphones and the system allegedly “scans” organs, bones and tissues. Through the process, it purportedly identifies foods that suit or do not suit the body, allergies, intolerances and energy disturbances.
10. Without dadiation, X-rays or MRI
Also in Nicosia, a provider advertises a full-body scan, claiming it can examine the body without radiation, X-rays or magnetic resonance imaging. The examination is presented as safe and effective, with no known side effects, and is said to assess the “vitality” of internal organs and identify the “root” of health problems.
The comparison with recognised imaging examinations creates the impression of an alternative medical check-up capable of revealing what citizens do not already know about their bodies.
In a public listing by the provider, the charge for a session or “consultation” appears to range from €80 to €120.
11. €450 for “imbalances”
A centre in Limassol sells a three-hour “advanced bioresonance and biofeedback assessment” for €450. The service is presented as a detailed record of the body’s “normal and abnormal imbalances”.
In other words, it is not a brief relaxation session but an expensive process whose duration, terminology and deliverables resemble a comprehensive medical examination. The centre combines the assessment with other holistic interventions and personalised recommendations, turning the initial “finding” into a pathway of recurring services.
12. Chronic conditions and the “root” of the problem
An institute in Limassol presents itself as a comprehensive care centre for chronic illnesses, detoxification and preventive health. It advertises programmes for autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue and “breast implant illness”, combining quantum biofeedback with intravenous therapy, ozone treatment, microbiome restoration and “mitochondrial support”.
It states that its goal is not to treat symptoms but to identify the “root” of the problem and repair the body at a cellular level.
13. Chronic pain, insomnia and exhaustion
A facility in Limassol advertises the BICOM device for treating anxiety, exhaustion, insomnia and chronic pain. The method is presented as a way of identifying and balancing disrupted electromagnetic frequencies, with the claim that it activates the body’s natural capacity for “self-healing”.
Essentially, a bioresonance method is promoted as a therapeutic intervention for four specific conditions, without it being clear what recognised medical speciality is held by the person assessing the patient and applying the method.
14. Anti-ageing, fertility and cellular repair
A centre in Limassol links its services to hormonal balance, fertility, detoxification, cellular repair and longevity. Anti-ageing is presented not merely as an aesthetic desire but as an intervention in bodily function and restoration “at cellular level”.
The programmes combine tests, nutritional guidance, supplements and repeated treatments, turning the initial search for more energy or a younger appearance into a complete health “optimisation” protocol.
15. “Scanning” before symptoms appear
A centre in Larnaca offers a BICOM full-body scan, advertised as a means of detecting functional burdens before they develop into visible symptoms. The process is presented as a way of revealing what is “stressing” the body and selecting the appropriate frequencies to restore balance.
The promise of detection before illness appears gives a bioresonance service the image of preventive medical screening.
16. From biofeedback to an “ozone sauna”
A centre with a presence in Limassol and Paphos advertises “frequency biofeedback therapy”, claiming to work on the body’s “energy patterns” to support emotional, psychological and neurological wellbeing.
A biofeedback session costs €120, while the two-hour “Platinum Biofeedback Assessment”, presented as the centre’s most comprehensive evaluation, costs €450.
The same price list includes oxygen therapy from €20, “molecular hydrogen” treatments from €20 to €100, an electromagnetic “blanket” for €50 and an “ozone sauna” for €60.
Note: Politis has in its possession the names, addresses and contact details of the centres referred to in this report. For obvious reasons, these details are not being published but are available to any competent regulatory or law-enforcement authority.
A “therapist” training ground in Limassol
The mapping exercise does not stop with venues selling sessions. In Limassol, a school of “natural therapeutic sciences” operates, training people who can later provide such services.
The school advertises in-person, online and distance-learning programmes in Naturopathy, Homeopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, Neuroreflexology, “Orthopractic”, rehabilitation and the “science of therapeutic detoxification”.
It presents a pathway of qualifications beginning with certificates and diplomas and extending to Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctorate degrees, as well as “Master Practitioner Professional Diplomas in Physical Therapy”.
Not recognised by KYSATS
On its website, the school makes clear that it does not teach for the purpose of recognition by Cyprus’ Cyprus' higher education qualifications recognition authority KYSATS or the Greek equivalent DOATAP, because it does not follow the policies, principles, guidelines and regulations governing “centralised monopolistic educational systems”.
At the same time, it claims that the diplomas and titles issued by itself and by affiliated American online universities are recognised by professional associations in Cyprus and European Union countries.
“Cleansing” everything
The school states that it teaches methods that “prevent and cure disease” and offers “true, life-saving knowledge about health and life”.
According to its theory, “there is only one disease, only one cause and only one cure”: detoxification and the cleansing of all “infectious and toxic elements” accumulated in the body, blood and cells.
“Without cleansing, no cure can be achieved,” it states.
“Orthopractic”
The “orthopractic” programme teaches that disease is the result of abnormal functioning of the nervous system and can be prevented or treated through manipulations of the spine.
Students are taught manipulations involving the spine, bones, muscles, nerves and organs, together with laser treatments, detoxification, orthomolecular supplements and “therapeutic superfoods”.
It is claimed that by releasing “psychosomatic energy blockages”, the diseased organism can achieve self-healing, even “complete recovery”.
The “father” of natural medicine
At the same time, the school warns that synthetic chemical medicines “attack” the nervous system and that, after prolonged use, nerve cells in the brain cease to function normally.
Its founder and director is presented as “Professor Dr.”, the “father of natural medicine” and a pioneer of a “new science of health and disease”.
His published biography refers to studies in Naturopathy, Homeopathy and Traditional Chinese Medicine, as well as a doctorate and professorial title from an American university, without listing a medical degree or a recognised medical speciality.
