Dr Mthembu could be the ambassador for healthy living – bright-eyed, with a glowing complexion and boundless energy. It’s difficult to believe that this mother of two has been practicing medicine for almost 20 years! Warm and eloquent, she shares her knowledge in a way that makes healthy living the obvious choice.
Medilution Lifestyle and Wellness Clinic is a dream come true for Dr Nomcebo Mthembu. With 16 years’ experience as a GP, she realised that much of her time was spent managing her patients’ illnesses, rather than curing them. “In many cases, our bodies have forgotten how to fight off disease naturally because we are so quick to jump in with chemical solutions,” she explains.
When Nomcebo’s mother was diagnosed with cancer in 2016 and given just one month to live, she delved into researching the natural alternatives she had always been interested in. She focused on detoxifying the body and boosting the immune system. “Those alternative treatments (in conjunction with conventional medicine) gave us an extra 18 months with my mom.”
Seeing the effects first-hand gave Nomcebo greater motivation to bring her vision of an integrated medical centre to life, and so Medilution was born in February 2017.
A full medical examination and bloodwork are done before any recommendations are made. “It’s important that we have a comprehensive picture before we start treatment. We always recommend a process of detoxification and a healthy diet, and use herbal and homeopathic methods to solve any problems. This is done as an add-on to any conventionally prescribed treatment. We have seen incredible results, with most of our cholesterol patients, for example, now either off their medication or taking the lowest possible dose.”
Treatments offered include hydrotherapy/colon cleanse; ozone treatment (which boosts white blood cell production, promoting the body’s natural ability to heal itself); infrared for pain management and skin ailments; aesthetic medicine, including botox and fillers; depression clinic, promoting healing without medication; and tailor-made weightloss programmes.
“The ultimate goal for any doctor is to see their patients well. Our patients call this treatment life changing,” Dr Mthembu says with a smile.
