About

Connecting patients in Korea with a clinic in Greece.

Curing the Cause guides patients through the whole metabolomic testing process with the Metabolomic Medicine clinic in Athens. Most of the people who come to us are looking for the cause behind atopic dermatitis, an autoimmune condition, or a chronic illness.

“Curing the cause” means not merely improving symptoms on the surface, but identifying the underlying cause of disease and bringing immunity to its best, so that a person can live well.
As described by the Metabolomic Medicine clinic

What we do

From beginning to end,
whatever gets in the way.

From the first enquiry through consultation, payment guidance, English paperwork, kit delivery, international shipping of the sample, clinic registration, results and diet plan, to the written interview — about three months in all. Whatever comes up in between is ours to handle. You only need to collect the sample and fill in the questionnaires.

01

We do not let go halfway

From the first consultation to results, diet plan and written interview — about three months. The same person stays with one patient from start to finish.

02

The difficult parts are ours

English forms, overseas transfers, international shipping — the things that make people give up on testing. You will never be left to solve them alone.

03

What matters most comes after

The report is not the end. We gather your questions for the clinic and bring back the answers, stay with you while you apply the diet, and continue through a repeat test.

The team

Not a clinic of one specialty.

Scientists from several fields work as one team, so that a single set of results is read from more than one angle.
