the sustainability of one’s own experience

my first visit to nabo

i’m still sceptical as i climb the stairway. what will await me, when the door to nabo opens in a moment: as a born doubter and questioner i prefer to trust most what i learn myself. next moment i’m experiencing an amazing charm offensive: “hello mr hauser, welcome to nabo. please take a seat for a moment“, i’m warmly welcomed. i’m pleased to accept the request and feel very relaxed in this cosy reception lounge of the ambulatory.

so far neither the patients nor the ambiance remind me of a usual clinic. much rather of a successful mixture of recovery oasis and health temple. garnished with a refreshing and at once warm tone. right from the word go. as soon as the patient enters the light room he’s greeted by name and with a warm handshake. the atmosphere in the rooms is very soft: friendly rooms, nice simple furniture in wood and leather. and how it all smells so nice! here you can clearly experience a basic principle of the staff at bottrop crew:

successes are returned, they invest a lot in the patient’s wellbeing.

it becomes clearer and clearer to me, that nabo not only preaches the holistic approach, it also lives it. nothing is left to coincidence, no detail is too small, to earn one hundred and fifty percent attention. it soon becomes clear to me, what farid zitoun so nicely expressed in our telephone calls across the borders: “you know, treatment with us starts at the first contact. and our positive after effects should remain far beyond the therapy time. our patients have earned that!“

the words of farid zitoun are still ringing in me, as the first patients report of their fate. extremely open these people speak of illnesses, accidents and great pains. and it becomes clear to me: it’s not only about wellbeing here, about colds and throat ache, but much more. about life’s fates. even about surviving. a boy in a wheelchair is brought in. the teenager has been lying in a coma vigil since a traffic accident. the doctors had long given up on him. without the slightest prospect of recovery. and now on the third day of treatment the first signs of progress are being seen, the mother reports…

it’s these small wonders, which make me clairaudient. what lies behind them?

naturally, all possible medias have already reported about nabo: television, the press…when researching them beforehand i marvelled about many success stories, also on tv: from sat1 and pro7 to cable tv. but what finally convinces me is one thing above all else: the tangibly genuine passion of christian rüger and his colleagues and crew. and their perceivable calling as alternative practitioners. a professional commitment, looking for their equals. the equipment and the diversity of treatment very much fascinate me. the two of them don’t make it easy for themselves! all the high-tech devices nonetheless have to be operated. my god, how much knowledge they have here. what prompts them to do this?

it’s hardly any surprise that miracles are happening here. i’m completely convinced that the whole therapy crew is extremely strong. everything seems right here. from seriousness to casualness with all the serious material. and then the openness towards unforeseen things. the unequal manager duo particularly makes a lasting impression. whoever wants to explore energies in human form will have no problem doing his doctor of medicine here.

trying to put the phenomenon of zitoun & rüger into words would transcend any reasonable scale. so let’s not go there.

what i wish the readers of these lines is the following: to have the ounce of openness they need to approach good things. the courage that’s needed to go new ways. and the confidence in an amazing team.

i almost forgot: i originally wanted to mention the unbelievable full-service care. this includes tips on how to reach the place and booking overnight stays to further care after the treatment with the centre’s own medicaments.

“that’s all part of our service“ said farid zitoun and christian rüger.
