At some point, we reached a limit where real solutions were elusive.<\/p><p>For this reason, I decided to address healing at its root. I pursued education in nutrition and began teaching my patients how to eat properly, implementing therapeutic nutrition approaches for chronic conditions.<\/p><p>Later, I was introduced to Functional &amp; Integrative Medicine and completed my training in this field. I began treating my patients with personalized principles, following the philosophy that \u201cthere is no disease, only the patient.\u201d<\/p><p>I believe, and have always believed, that healing cannot be achieved by sweeping problems under the rug. Therefore, the goal should not be to suppress symptoms but to uncover and understand them. With a holistic medicine approach, I focus on identifying and resolving the underlying biochemical issues by following the signals our body sends when its systems are disrupted.<\/p><p>This approach starts with a thorough and detailed consultation\/examination, analyzing an individual\u2019s metabolism, lifestyle habits, and current dietary patterns. I aim to understand you starting from your cells and bodily systems.<\/p><p><strong>Ozone therapy<\/strong> (<strong>ozone treatment<\/strong>) is one of the main treatment methods I use.<\/p><p>I am currently providing treatment to my patients at my private clinic located in <strong>\u015ei\u015fli, Istanbul<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7de0074e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"7de0074e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2dfda705 sc_content_align_inherit sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"2dfda705\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a44480b sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4a44480b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Dr_Nilgun_Erozturk\"><\/span>2.

Since <strong>1999<\/strong>, I have been practicing Integrative Treatments and working according to a Holistic Medicine approach.<\/p><p>These treatment approaches recognize the body as a whole and understand that diseases are never caused by a single factor but arise from a combination of multiple causes and problems across different organs.<\/p><p>Guided by these principles, my professional years have been devoted to researching and learning both preventive and therapeutic approaches necessary for optimal health.<\/p><p>Acupuncture was the first holistic treatment method I encountered, and it has provided a foundation of knowledge that I apply across all my treatment approaches, either as a primary or supportive method.<\/p><p>It is important to note that acupuncture is often mistakenly thought of as simply inserting needles. In reality, bioactive points can be treated without needles, and the treatment always includes methods such as dietary management, lifestyle adjustments, and phytotherapy (herbal treatment). Inserting needles into bioactive points is only a small part of the therapy, and the treatment may not be effective if other components are neglected.<\/p><p><strong>Ozone therapy<\/strong> is a tool I frequently use in my treatments. Sometimes it serves as the main therapy, and sometimes as a supportive method. For example, injecting small amounts of <strong>ozone<\/strong> into acupuncture points can strengthen the treatment and prolong its effects, reducing the number of sessions needed. Similarly, intra-articular ozone injections during acupuncture for painful joint conditions help achieve results more quickly.<\/p><p>Nutritional management\u2014changing what we eat and drink\u2014is essential for the recovery of many conditions. This approach alone is sometimes sufficient for healing. I prepare personalized nutrition programs and provide dietary education based on these plans. Common programs include weight gain, weight loss, muscle building, allergy relief, detoxification, liver and kidney detox, chronic kidney disease, diabetes management, and skin health and beauty.<\/p><p>While dietary changes can significantly improve allergic conditions, they do not provide permanent solutions. For this reason, I studied the NAET method and applied it in my clinic, helping patients permanently overcome allergies that negatively affect their health.<\/p><p>I also address the psychological and mental origins of disease and bodily dysfunction in my practice, using hypnosis and spiritual healing methods to treat patients for many years.<\/p><p>I received certification in <strong>Ozone Therapy<\/strong> from the Medical Academy of <strong>Russia, Nizhny Novgorod University<\/strong>. I completed acupuncture training through the NAET programs at the Los Angeles NARF organization, with certification from Yeditepe University. Allergy treatment certification was obtained from NAET Academy, and megavitamin therapy training was completed through the Linus Pauling Institute in the USA and T\u00dcB\u0130TAK programs.<\/p><p>Prolotherapy certification was obtained from the Scientific Prolotherapy Association, and metabolic balance nutrition training from Assoc. Prof. Dr. Wolf Funfack. I also trained in Ericksonian psychotherapy at the Erickson Institute and Transpersonal Hypnotherapy (Life Between Lives Therapy) with instructors from the Newton Institute, including Paul Aurand.<\/p><p>I am currently providing treatment to my patients at my private clinic located in <strong>Kad\u0131k\u00f6y, Istanbul<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1791071 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"1791071\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-718a43b3 sc_content_align_inherit sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"718a43b3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a22a9a0 sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7a22a9a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Dr_Zafer_Yilmaz\"><\/span>3.
