Silvia Binder, CEO/President for Ondamed companies in Germany and the United States, brings international experience along with her entrepreneurial leadership to the ONDAMED management team.
She received her business degree in Vienna, Austria, where she grew up, moving to the U.S. at the age of twenty-one.
From an early age, her path in life was being steered into the field of subtle energy.
This destiny actually began when Silvia was five years old. She had contracted acute meningitis from an infected tick and was hospitalized for seven weeks. Then, ten years later, a motor-cycle accident put her in a coma for twenty-one days. She had also suffered an open leg fracture and a PCL (posterior cruciate ligament tear). Having to relearn how to breathe and walk again transformed her; gave her a deep understanding of pain and suffering and a whole new purpose in life.
At twenty-three, Silvia started a U.S. subsidiary for a German-based semiconductor company, which she grew to a quarter-billion dollars in annual sales. A takeover prompted her to start her own business in the music field. Her company dealt with Central and Eastern Europe and international distribution soon grew to fifteen countries. A successful five-year venture ended with the outbreak of the war in Sarajevo and a falling Russian economy. It was the perfect time to close her business and turn her attention to her three children.
In 2001, her previous mentor and owner of the semiconductor company contacted her to spark her interest in taking on a new project: letting the world know of a therapy device that had helped him overcome stomach cancer. ONDAMED. Within a short time, Silvia was trained by Rolf Binder, the inventor of ONDAMED and by Wolf-Dieter Kessler, M.D. and she began the establishment of Ondamed Inc. in early 2002. Further training by various distinctive international practitioners deepened her perception of the integrative medicine approach. She fully appreciated and adapted Rolf's view of the non-disease and non-label medical model. Her experience with her own son, which "co-incidentally" occurred weeks after being trained, jump-started her passion to get this life-transforming synergy of technology and methodology into the hands of as many people as possible (See Randy's story below).
In 2006, recognizing their love for one another and a shared purpose in life, Silvia and Rolf were married. Nurtured by a loving and inspiring husband, Silvia Binder's passion to serve others continues to grow. And so grows the company.
Randy's story:
Silvia's son Randy underwent L-transposition and VSD closure with a pacemaker implantation at two years of age. At the age of five, the cardiologists discovered a 1cm large thrombus in his heart. When Randy did not become therapeutic to Coumadin over three months of taking different dosages, he was faced with yet another open-heart surgery. Fortuitously, it was at this point when Silvia had just been trained on the ONDAMED and she decided to start Randy on this therapy after having cardiologists at Westchester Medical Center in New York confirm via Echocardiogram and pacemaker testing equipment, that the pulsed electromagnetic fields emitted from ONDAMED would have no impact on the pacemaker output. In just one week and only three 15-minute treatments, Randy's INR showed that his coagulation was within therapeutic ranges. The combination of Coumadin and ONDAMED helped reduce the thrombus to one-third of its original size, thereby avoiding open heart surgery! Randy has been medication-free since 2003, receives ONDAMED treatments twice per month, and he is developing strong and healthy.
