The best wellness clinic in the world 2023, awarded by World Spa Awards, is not located in a remote and distant place. It is in L'Albir, Alicante. It is called SHA Wellness Clinic and the story of its foundation could not be more inspiring because, in the same place where today stands the imposing temple of well-being attended by
kings, politicians, actors, models, senior managers and celebrities from all over the world. to heal your body, your mind and your soul
thanks to the latest advances in integrative medicine, a little over a decade ago the vacation residence of the Bataller family, 'alma mater' of this dream, was located.
And it all began when, after years of suffering from serious health problems and facing a worrying diagnosis, Alfredo Bataller Parietti, the father, managed to recover thanks to comprehensive medicine and, especially, healthy and therapeutic nutrition.
Astonished by the
impact of food and certain therapies on his health
, Bataller felt the need to disseminate this valuable knowledge and this is how SHA Wellness Clinic was born, the largest international reference in wellness retreats and the first clinic in the world to incorporate, in its centers in Spain (Alicante) and Mexico (Riviera Maya),
Advanced Cellular Regeneration Therapy
, the only technology capable of stopping oxidative stress and cellular degeneration.
The promise of this treatment, which Pablo Motos has just tried during his retreat at SHA Wellness Clinic, could not be more seductive: taking years off our shoulders. As? "CAP technology generates a
magnetic field
around the body that recharges and regenerates cells,
stopping the action of free radicals
. That means rejuvenation and health," explains Doctor Vicente Mera, head of the Healthy Aging Unit at SHA Wellness Clinic. in Spain.

"Regeneration occurs," he says, "because the
static energy
created by the current of anions and electrons generated by the machine
improves the supply of oxygen
and promotes the growth of healthy cells, while stimulating cell division and migration. In addition, ,
cold atmospheric plasma
has an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect."
The design of the machine also allows "the
cold plasma to penetrate the natural fiber of the clothing and be absorbed by the skin and fluids throughout the body
. The applicators, made of 24-karat gold, conduct the current in the most efficient possible, promoting cell regeneration and recharge throughout the body.
This therapy, Mera assures, is especially indicated "for people with
symptoms of extreme exhaustion
without a specific cause; those seeking
rejuvenation at a cellular level
; women with
menopause;
patients with ulcers or skin lesions; those who suffer from
prolonged COVID
or chronic bacterial infections.
Although "it does not cure diseases," he emphasizes, "it solves the side effects of many pathologies, such as loss of strength and energy, exhaustion, tiredness and depression." There have also been "very good results in
skin lesions."
But there is still more. Dr. Anna Baeza, coordinator of Medical Services and Natural Therapies at SHA Wellness Clinic, points out that this new therapy "actively stimulates the vagus nerve, activates the parasympathetic system and, therefore,
combats chronic stress situations
."
Other important benefits of this therapy, Baeza continues, are "the
optimization of metabolism
; the reduction of inflammation; the stimulation of endogenous synthesis of
vitamin D
; the support of brain function and the improvement of mood."
What is a session on the machine like that takes years off of you?
First of all, the
treatment imposes
. More than because of the appearance of the machine, which also because it looks like something out of a futuristic movie, but because of what it entails. Because the idea that
they recharge and regenerate your cells through the creation of a magnetic field
and everything that Dr. Mera tells before undergoing the first session gives food for thought and says a lot about the brutal advance that is being experienced in the field. of healthy longevity research.
When Mera descends from the scientific explanation to the benefits that can be obtained in real life, the plan becomes even more attractive. "Studies show that after therapy, 70% of people immediately feel more energy and 25% report feeling less tired."
Who isn't seduced by the idea of
feeling more energetic, in better spirits and, ultimately, rejuvenating on the inside so that it can be seen on the outside
(as they said in that advertisement)? And all this without lifting a finger (pun intended, because you don't have to sit still), thanks to a painless, comfortable treatment, without side effects.
The protocol begins by changing the very white white bathrobe with which one wanders around the clinic facilities for a
jumpsuit made of natural fiber
so that it allows the cold plasma to penetrate and be absorbed by the skin and fluids throughout the body.
From there, the issue has no more mystery than lying on the machine and remaining motionless for the
40 minutes that the session lasts,
which costs
375 euros,
to let the technology do its work.
It doesn't hurt anything,
nor do you have to be on alert in case, at some point, the machine does something strange or something like that. At most, you feel a
gentle tingling in those areas where you have some discomfort, injury
, etc. No noise is heard either. So your thing is to relax, enjoy and, like I did, fall asleep.
The treatment, contraindicated during pregnancy or if you have a pacemaker, is completed with a
10-minute hydration
protocol . What's more, it is recommended to drink more water than usual during the hours following it.
And, here comes the important thing, did I notice any improvement? Well, although it is supposed that the ideal way to experience all its benefits is to have four sessions, with just one I already felt
that boost of energy, an injection of optimism and... that night I slept like a rock!
