Silvia Binder CEO/President for Ondamed companies in Germany and the United States.
Silvia 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 21.
From a young age her path in life was being steered into the field of subtle energy. It began at age 5 when Silvia contracted acute meningitis from an infected tick and was hospitalized for 7 weeks. At the age of fifteen, a motor-cycle accident put her in a coma for 21 days in addition to an open leg fracture and a PCL (posterior cruciate ligament tear). Having to learn how to breathe and walk again, transformed her entire view on life giving her a new life with an induced life purpose.
At 23 she started a U.S. subsidiary for a German-based semiconductor company, which Silvia grew to one quarter billion dollars in annual sales. A take-over prompted her to start her own business in the music field. SP International dealt with Central and Eastern Europe and international distribution grew to 15 countries. A successful five-year venture ended with the outbreak of the war in Sarajevo. Along with the falling Russian economy she closed her business and turned 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.
Silvia and Rolf recognized their love for one another and their shared life's purpose consummated into marriage in 2006.
Her passion for serving others and helping bring forth truth and enhanced consciousness of a more subtle world around and within us is nurtured by her loving and inspiring husband. This passion is solidified by the work of scientists and profound teachings of spiritual leaders both past and present.
Silvia's own suffering confronted her with an increased level of awareness, leading to her life's purpose.
* Her son Randy underwent L-transposition and VSD closure with a pacemaker implantation at 2 years of age. At the age of 5, 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. 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 had no impact on the pacemaker output. One week and three 15-minute treatments later, 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.
