Concept and Practice I. Introductory Remarks For 150 years we have lived with a world view which is shaped in a significant manner by the knowledge of mechanics and chemistry, the scientific bases that quite substantially determine modern civilization. In spite of the enormous advances in knowledge in the area of electronics, this usual world view is hardly shaken up. Especially in medicine there are many innovations in diagnostics that show the influence of modern physics. However the new findings from biology about the physical-energetic processes of living systems [...]

This is interesting . . . Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some [...]
For Cerebral Function The old age related decrease of cognitive abilities (like perception, thinking, recognizing and remembering, up to dementia) has various causes. From the perspective of Orthomolecular Medicine the following aspects are of special interest at the same time: Oxidative stress and chronic inflammation as a cause of disturbance of the stimulus conduction or also structural impairment/degeneration Nutrients as antioxidants and inflammation inhibitors Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids as important building blocks of nerval structures Nutrients as transmitter precursors Oxidative Stress D. Harman already postulated the causal connections [...]
How Alkalinizing Agents Can Reduce the Risk of Cancer Over the last few years there has been much scholarly discussion about the efficacy of alkalinizing agents in the treatment of cancer. It is widely understood that cancer thrives in an acidic environment and that by making the metabolic terrain more alkaline, it is possible to reduce the incidence of cancer metastasis. Dr. Tullio Simoncini, an Italian oncologist, for example, has become known for his treatments of certain forms of cancer by altering the pH levels of the terrain from [...]
