About

I am Annemie Vander Straeten, a family physician practising holistic medicine. I qualified as a Doctor in Leuven, (Louvain) Belgium and did my Masters of Family Medicine at the University in Bloemfontein.

I have a special interest in skin cancer, aesthetic medicine, anti-ageing and obesity. Because our life expectancy is getting higher and higher, quality of life is also becoming more and more important.

Skin cancer is a big problem in our country but if it is recognised early enough, it can be cured. Therefore I purchased a mole mapper, making it more accessible for our area. It allows us to recognise suspicious moles without having to cut them.

For non-cancerous skin blemishes I often use a lamprobe, which makes removing skin lesions quick and easy, by using high frequency radio waves. It is non-invasive, almost painless and leaves hardly any scarring.

As we all know most people live now much longer but nobody wants to look nor feel old. I offer a non-invasive alternative to botox, fillers and facelifts which treats the cause of aging from inside and outside.

Most of people are found to have very low anti-oxidant levels despite them taking lots of vitamins. So it is evident that a lot of money is wasted on vitamins, not being absorbed but making expensive urine.”

Anti-oxidants play a major role in healthy ageing, preventing cancers, and in health in general, by fighting the free radicals caused by stress, pollution, smoking etc. I have a biophotonic scanner that measures the carotenoid levels in the skin non-invasively. It has been scientifically proven that this gives a good reflection of your anti-oxidant levels and your health in general. It lets you know whether the vitamins you are taking are being absorbed and or whether you need to adjust your life style. Feel free to pop in and have yours checked

Obesity is another major problem, threatening our health in many different ways. I offer Slender Wonder, a proven medical weight loss program that treats the cause and gives results very quickly. For more information on the program, check the Slender Wonder website.
