MedSelect Holding

MedSelect Group · For physicians and clinics

We ask why.

Health, rethought.

Behind every complaint there is a story. And behind every story there is a cause. Join a network that looks for that cause.

DNA double helix

Our guiding principle

Living longer is not the goal. Living healthier for longer is.

This sentence is why we connect physicians who want to treat causes rather than symptoms.

Your benefits as a partner

More time for the why. We take care of the rest.

Our focus is on the patient and on quality. What you get from us as a partner:

01

Patients find their way to you

MedSelect informs patients about root-cause medicine and recommends partner practices near them.

02

One platform, many options

AFERsmart and AFERsmart Plus with a wide range of Toxopheresis filters and adsorbers – for chronic disease and for prevention.

03

Support where you need it

Individual training, observation visits and support at the start. We make possible what your practice needs.

04

Knowledge from 50+ practices

Diagnostics according to shared standards, case exchange across disciplines and data from many years.

“Afterwards we know where the needles in the haystack are – and which steps make sense next.”

Paraphrasing Dr. med. Harald Burgard

Hourglass

Editorial

Medicine needs time. And the courage to ask why.

We wanted to take a different path: no patient tourism, no pressure from investors – and time for every single person.

That is how MedSelect came about: a network of physicians and laboratories built on free choice of therapy, bringing together knowledge from many years.

Michael Husung · Dr. med. Harald Burgard — Founders of the MedSelect Group

Folder full of findings

Your daily practice

A folder full of findings. And still no answer.

Many patients who come to our partners have a long journey behind them: doctor after doctor, finding after finding.

There is rarely just one cause. Often many factors act together until a person's individual limit is exceeded. We call it the barrel principle.

Free choice of therapy

The right approach for every person instead of a fixed scheme.

02

Documented courses

The network documents treatment courses – the successful ones and the less successful ones.

03

Training and data

It trains, evaluates data and shares knowledge across disciplines.

04

Selected partners

Chosen for expertise, motivation and commitment.

Toxopheresis filter

Toxopheresis®

A filter that discriminates.

Toxopheresis® is a form of therapeutic apheresis, more precisely double filtration. It aims to remove defined, unwanted substances from blood plasma – such as pollutants, metals or inflammatory mediators. Blood cells and nutrients are preserved.

01

Closed system

Sterile single-use tubing and filter system.

02

Plasma filter

Blood cells and plasma are separated.

03

Toxopheresis filter

Its pore size retains defined protein-bound substances.

04

Return

Purified plasma and blood cells are recombined and returned.

Worth distinguishing

Selective, not unselective.

Unselective

Plasma exchange

All of the plasma is separated and discarded – with everything in it: fats, vitamins, trace elements, proteins and protective antibodies. The plasma has to be replaced, for example with fresh plasma, albumin and electrolytes.

Selective

Double filtration

The plasma is filtered and returned purified. Defined protein-bound substances are retained, important components are preserved. No plasma replacement is needed. Toxopheresis® follows this principle.

To be honest

Like any medical procedure, Toxopheresis can have side effects. Mainly described are a drop in blood pressure during treatment, which can usually be corrected quickly, and temporary mild swelling or hoarseness.

According to H. Burgard, LONGEVITY – Gesund werden geht auch anders (2025), ch. 5.2.4, and H. Burgard, M. Husung, Gesundheit neu gedacht, ch. 2.

Knowledge

Data, not promises.

Our foundation: anonymized data from the network built up over years, peer-reviewed studies – including on post-COVID and ME/CFS – and the books “Gesundheit neu gedacht” and “LONGEVITY – Gesund werden geht auch anders”.

76.5%

of patients with elevated values showed measurable improvement (n = 34).

26.5%

normalized after just two sessions.

Frequently asked questions

What physicians ask us.

Which patients may benefit from Toxopheresis?

People with chronic conditions and those focused on prevention or longevity. Whether treatment makes sense is decided by the physician after thorough diagnostics.

How long does a session take?

About two to three hours. The number and intervals of sessions are determined individually and monitored with laboratory checks.

How are my team and I trained?

Individually: with an observation visit at a partner practice, training for physicians and practice team, and support at the start – wherever it is needed.

Which technology do I work with?

The AFERsmart or AFERsmart Plus platform with a wide range of Toxopheresis filters and adsorbers. All products used are CE-marked.

Will I receive patients through MedSelect?

MedSelect informs patients about root-cause medicine and Toxopheresis and recommends partner practices near them.

How safe is the procedure?

The blood stays in a closed, sterile single-use system. Mainly described are a drop in blood pressure during treatment and temporary mild swelling or hoarseness; according to the reference book, the side effect rate is around 0.5%.

Is MedSelect a clinic?

No. MedSelect is a network of physicians, laboratories and medical technology based on free choice of therapy.
