The Immune System – Which Guards Our Health

Posted on : 25-10-2017 | By : Stephan, The Alkaline Diet Guy | In : Alkaline Diet Health Tips, Uncategorized

The term ‘immune system’ refers to the body’s defence system used to protect itself from disease (Latin for “immune” is Immunis = free, unaffected). Most people do not ‘feel’ their immune system, and regard its existence as self evident. For most of our lives, our immune system – whose function is to fight off viruses, bacteria, fungi and other intruders – works smoothly and successfully.

Only when we get sick with an infection or inflammation does it become clear how important the immune system is to our physical health and how important it is to support and maintain this system.

Those who suffer from a weak immune system will benefit from looking at their behavior, diet, stress levels, and even physical activities for the cause. How can the immune system be strengthened and balanced? Taking care of your immune health is a very important cornerstone of maintaining your physical health for as long as possible.

Our physical defence is a very subtle system. It includes cells and proteins that have the function of maintaining the body with its organs and structures. The immune system has various strategies for repelling outside intruders. On the one hand it has mechanical barriers, (the skin or mucous membranes). On the other hand, there are cells (i.e. granulocytes or lymphocytes) which work to render viruses and bacteria harmless. In addition, the body has proteins that act as messengers or as a defence against pathogens.

This sensitive system can be disrupted in its operation by a variety of external influences. These include dietary toxins that enter the body which may include processed foods, sweets, soft drinks, alcohol, and nicotine. Altogether, these items can weaken the organism and result in acidification. This also affects the immune system.

Immune boosting strategies: How can the immune system be boosted? Here are some basic guidelines to consider:

– Sufficient sleep (6 to 8 hours per day);

– Regular exercise (3 to 4 times per week of aerobic exercise, outdoors in nature);

– Stress reduction with yoga, relaxation training, alkaline baths, massages, dry and wet brushing;

– Listen to your heart and soul;

– Good hydration (with 2 to 3 litres per day of water or herbal tea)

– Avoid nicotine, alcohol;

– Alternate hot and cold showers to improve blood circulation on a regular basis;

– Take sauna or steam baths;

– Avoid drugs (especially those that destroy white blood cells such as painkillers, anti-depressants, antibiotics, beta blockers, etc.)

– Avoid fatty or highly processed foods;

– Enjoy an alkalinizing diet, rich in vitamin A, C, and iron. Eat foods that promote the production of white blood cells, including broccoli, kale, carrots, garlic, spinach, wheat germ oil, and ginger.

Recommended immune system supplement: Alkaline foods by Dr. h.c. Peter Jentschura are the perfect support  for the immune system, since many processes in the organism can only function properly when supplied with all nutrients and vital substances. Dr. Jentschura’s organic and gluten free products, including MorgenStund’, TischleinDeckDich, and WurzelKraft are rich in vitamins, minerals, fibre, and plant compounds. These vital substances support the excretory organs, which help the organism to metabolize and excrete harmful acids and pollutants.

WurzelKraft contains omnimolecular plant granules which are the molecules and building blocks of human life. This formula is made of 100 different varieties of fruits, vegetables, spices, seeds, herbs, and pollen. This composition provides all vital substances needed by the human organism. These include, for example, Vitamin C and iron, which are necessary for an efficient immune system. In addition, bee pollen is known as a ‘miracle’ because of its ingredients. Since the individual constituents of the granules are only dried and crushed or ground, they have a very high bioavailability compared to isolated mineral products.

WurzelKraft vegetable granules are a delicious snack between meals or can ‘upgrade’ different dishes such as salads, soups, breads, fruit salads, or vegetable and potato dishes. To ensure that all the important constituents of the product are absorbed by the organism so that the body is properly supplied with all the essentials, WurzelKraft should not be heated above 40°C, and be always properly chewed.

In addition, alkaline body care with Dr. Jentschura’s  alkaline-mineral body care salt, AlkaBath, contributes to the maintenance of the immune system. The alkaline pH of 8.5 stimulates the skin to excrete acids and toxins through the skin. Additional dry and wet brushes towards the excretory openings promote the circulation and cleansing of the lymphatic system, thus improving the excretion function of the skin and ensuring a high amount of relieving excretions.

These tips on sufficient body exercise and a health-conscious lifestyle in combination with a alkaline forming, omnimolecular diet plus alkaline body care, can permanently strengthen the immune system and your well-being!

 

MorgenStund’, TischleinDeckDich, and WurzelKraft are available in health food stores across Canada. For more information visit: www.YouInFocusProducts.com or call 1-866-722-9812 toll free.

Why your breakfast should be alkaline and gluten free

Posted on : 24-10-2013 | By : Stephan, The Alkaline Diet Guy | In : Uncategorized

What could be better than a morning full of sunshine? We open our body to fresh air and life energy. We find delight in the intoxicating fragrance of fresh herbal teas or coffees. The process of digestion starts already: our body produces digestive secrets in mouth and stomach in preparation to make use of the breakfast for the complete organism.

The body needs fuel for a day full of many challenges and tasks ahead of us. Using the vital ingredients of breakfast we make ready for these tasks. Eating a healthy breakfast we ensure that we stay the whole morning without fermentation and flatulence, but instead in a good mood, a clear mind and cheerful vitality in muscles and organs.

Especially the gluten is a major health problem for millions of people who suffer from allergies. Gluten rich breakfast is dominated by grain cereal or white or brown bread.
Unfortunately, this breakfast contains too much gluten, which “glues” together the protein of wheat grains. If we consume it over years and decades gluten blocks the finest capillaries and therefore hinders both the supply and the cleaning of our tissues, cells and organs.

Our smart organism likes to survive the increasing constriction of the vessels in increasing the blood pressure in order to supply itself with the necessary amount of blood: high blood pressure is created. This symptom is significant for older consumers of gluten breakfast.

Younger people also suffer from gluten allergy which is called celiac disease. Even in young children, symptoms like bloated stomach, abdominal pain and even growth problems, the so-called short stature, are well known.
The only remedy is the absence of gluten-containing diet. German Dr. Peter Jentschura discovered that the typical gluten breakfast with grain cereal or white or brown bread is also very acidic generating. This means that it does not help to balance the body’s natural need to keep its blood slightly alkaline (pH range of 7.25-7.35).

Also a diet consisting of sugar, red meat, white bread, black coffee, pops and milk has a very acidic generating effect on the body while an alkaline life style full of green organic vegetables, fruits, and anaerobic exercise has an alkaline forming effect in your body.

Dr. Peter Jentschura research found out that gluten free breakfast porridge on the basis of millet, buckwheat, amaranth, fruits, sweet almonds, sunflower and pumpkin seeds is alkaline generating. The porridge is quickly to prepare and easily digestible. Its numerous rich vital substances are highly absorbable.
Due to an acidic life style with lots of unhealthy gluten foods and stress most people suffer from mineral depletion. Each acid forming food/drink must be neutralized by the body with organic minerals. In order to re mineralize the body Dr. Jentschura developed a life food supplement made out of 100 organic and wild crafted healing herbs and plants.

This is very valuable info in accordance with Dr. Jentschura’s research on diseases like Parkinson’s. Dr. Jentschura discovered a connection between the usages of aluminum-based deodorant and diseases like Parkinson’s. Generally the body tries to eliminate toxins and acids “from the inside to the outside” via skin, mucous membranes and digestive system. Toxic aluminium does not only block sweat (our body actually tries to eliminate waste) but also travels up to the brain via the lymphatic system which connect the armpits and with the brain.

Our blood connects the 100 million cells in our body to make up a
meaningful whole. For its many diverse functions, blood requires an alkaline pH value between 7.35 and 7.45. Only within this alkaline range blood flows optimally, nourishes cells and keeps the body cleansed.

All of our foods and drinks have either alkaline or acid generating effects in
our bodies.

Due to our modern fast food
and living civilization most of the food we eat barely deserves to be called “nourishing”. It is often mass-produced, pre-cooked, frozen or pre-processed in one or another way. The ingredients in these products often originate from mono cultures grown in impoverished soil. These types of foods lack essential nutrients and do not provide us with the vital energy that we need. This lack of nutrients especially minerals causes the fact that most of our food is acid generating.

To prevent our body from acidification we should offer it lots of fresh and organic produce (if possible) each and every day.

These alkaline generating foods & vegetables should be on your shopping list:

1 bunch Celery
Garlic
Lemons
Limes
Carrots
Sweet Potatos
2 bunch Cale (my favourite)
Cucumbers
Lettuce
Rocket/Rockquette/Rucola/Arugula
3 Grapefruits
Capsicum/Peppers
Spinach
Tomatoes
Brussels Sprouts
Beetroots
Broccoli
Chillis
Cauliflower
1 bunch of Coriander
1 bunch of Basil
1 bunch of Spring Onions/Shallots
1 packet of Beansprouts

Black Beans
Lentils
Bragg Liquid Aminos
Soba Noodles (Buckwheat)
Brown Rice
Sprouted Wraps/Tortillas
Organic Silken Tofu
Organic Firm Tofu
Unsweetend, Organic Soy Milk/Almond Milk
Almond Paste
Organic Olive Oil
Avocado Oil
Sesame Oil
Dry/Pantry/Cupboard
Kidney Beans
Chick Peas/Garbanzo
Sprouted Bread
Flax Crackers
Herbal Teas: Dr. Jentschura’s AlkaHerb, peppermint, nettle, redbush/Rooibos, Lavender etc
Dried Herbs & Spices: A. Vogel herb mix, cardamom, turmeric, cinnamon ginger, cumin, chilli, coriander seeds, nutmeg

If you are suffering from
symptoms you need to have a healthy, alkaline diet.

Aspartame is used as a “healthy” sweetener in lots of products. Read why you should stay away from it.

Posted on : 22-08-2012 | By : Stephan, The Alkaline Diet Guy | In : Uncategorized

Ailments Resulting From Aspartame
Aspartame is used as an artificial sweetener in thousands of different products. The components of aspartame can lead to a wide variety of ailments. Some of these problems occur gradually while others are immediate, acute reactions.
A few of the many disorders associated with aspartame include the following:
• Birth Defects
A study funded by Monsanto to study possible birth defects caused by consuming aspartame was cut off after preliminary data showed damaging information about aspartame. Additionally, in the book, While Waiting: A Prenatal Guidebook, it is stated that aspartame is suspected of causing brain damage in sensitive individuals. A fetus may be at risk for these effects. Some researchers have suggested that high doses of aspartame may be associated with problems ranging from dizziness and subtle brain changes to mental retardation.
• Cancer (Brain Cancer)
In 1981, an FDA statistician stated that the brain tumor data on aspartame was so “worrisome” that he could not recommend approval of NutraSweet.
In a two-year study conducted by the manufacturer of aspartame, twelve of 320 rats fed a normal diet and aspartame developed brain tumors while none of the control rats developed tumors, and five of the twelve tumors were in rats given a low dose of aspartame.
The approval of aspartame was a violation of the Delaney Amendment, which was supposed to prevent cancer-causing substances such as methanol (formaldehye) and DKP from entering our food supply. A late FDA toxicologist testified before the U.S. Congress that aspartame was capable of producing brain tumors. This made it illegal for the FDA to set an allowable daily intake at any level. He stated in his testimony that Searle’s studies were “to a large extent unreliable” and that “at least one of those studies has established beyond any reasonable doubt that aspartame is capable of inducing brain tumors in experimental animals … ” He concluded his testimony by asking, “What is the reason for the apparent refusal by the FDA to invoke for this food additive the so-called Delaney Amendment to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act? … And if the FDA itself elects to violate the law, who is left to protect the health of the public?”
In the mid-1970s it was discovered that the manufacturer of aspartame falsified studies in several ways. One of the techniques used was to cut tumors out of test animals and put them back in the study. Another technique used to falsify the studies was to list animals that had actually died as surviving the study. Thus, the data on brain tumors was likely worse than discussed above. In addition, a former employee of the manufacturer of aspartame told the FDA on July 13, 1977 that the particles of DKP were so large that the rats could discriminate between the DKP and their normal diet.
• Diabetes
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) is actually recommending this chemical poison to persons with diabetes, but according to research conducted by a diabetes specialist, aspartame: 1) Leads to the precipitation of clinical diabetes. 2) Causes poorer diabetic control in diabetics on insulin or oral drugs. 3) Leads to the aggravation of diabetic complications such as retinopathy, cataracts, neuropathy and gastroparesis. 4) Causes convulsions.
In a statement concerning the use of products containing aspartame by persons with diabetes and hypoglycemia, the researchers says:
“Unfortunately, many patients in my practice, and others seen in consultation, developed serious metabolic, neurologic and other complications that could be specifically attributed to using aspartame products. This was evidenced by the loss of diabetic control, the intensification of hypoglycemia, the occurrence of presumed ‘insulin reactions’ (including convulsions) that proved to be aspartame reactions, and the precipitation, aggravation or simulation of diabetic complications (especially impaired vision and neuropathy) while using these products … Dramatic improvement of such features after avoiding aspartame, and the prompt predictable recurrence of these problems when the patient resumed aspartame products, knowingly or inadvertently.”
Another researcher stated that excitotoxins such as those found in aspartame can precipitate diabetes in persons who are genetically susceptible to the disease.
• Emotional Disorders
In a double blind study of the effects of aspartame on persons with mood disorders, findings showed a large increase in serious symptoms for persons taking aspartame. Since some of the symptoms were so serious, the Institutional Review Board had to stop the study. Three of the participants had said that they had been “poisoned” by aspartame. Researchers concluded that “individuals with mood disorders are particularly sensitive to this artificial sweetener; its use in this population should be discouraged.”(18) One researcher stated about aspartame, “I know it causes seizures. I’m convinced also that it definitely causes behavioral changes. I’m very angry that this substance is on the market. I personally question the reliability and validity of any studies funded by the NutraSweet Company.”
Additionally, there are numerous reported cases of low brain serotonin levels, depression and other emotional disorders that have been linked to aspartame and often are relieved by stopping the intake of aspartame.
• Epilepsy/Seizures
With the large and growing number of seizures caused by aspartame, it is sad to see that the Epilepsy Foundation is promoting the “safety” of aspartame. At Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 80 people who had suffered seizures after ingesting aspartame were surveyed. Community Nutrition Institute concluded the following about the survey:
“These 80 cases meet the FDA’s own definition of an imminent hazard to the public health, which requires the FDA to expeditiously remove a product from the market.”
Both the Air Force’s magazine, Flying Safety, and the Navy’s magazine, Navy Physiology, published articles warning about the many dangers of aspartame including the cumulative delirious effects of methanol and the greater likelihood of birth defects. The articles note that the ingestion of aspartame can make pilots more susceptible to seizures and vertigo. Twenty articles sounding warnings about ingesting aspartame while flying have also appeared in the National Business Aircraft Association Digest (NBAA Digest 1993), Aviation Medical Bulletin (1988), The Aviation Consumer (1988), Canadian General Aviation News (1990), Pacific Flyer (1988), General Aviation News (1989), Aviation Safety Digest (1989), and Plane & Pilot (1990) and a paper warning about aspartame was presented at the 57th Annual Meeting of the Aerospace Medical Association (Gaffney 1986).
A hotline was even set up for pilots suffering from acute reactions to aspartame ingestion. Over 600 pilots have reported symptoms including some who have reported suffering grand mal seizures in the cockpit due to aspartame.

The Scam around Dietary Supplements

Posted on : 29-03-2012 | By : Stephan, The Alkaline Diet Guy | In : Uncategorized

App. 95% of all dietary supplements is chemically/synthetically generated and the “beneficial ingredients” are not absorbable because they are too big. Non-organic, synthetic minerals are 100-10.000 times bigger than organic, plant derived minerals. These non-organic minerals do cloak our system because the body cannot resorb them.

Chemically and synthetically generated dietary supplements provide incredible large amounts of daily value of minerals and vitamins but in a non-organic, non-ionic and non absorbable form. They cannot be absorbed by our body and are deposited in various parts of our body. These minerals are about 10.000 time larger that organic, ionic, water-soluble minerals which can be absorbed by your body. Now you understand why e.g. the British Medical Journal stated that non-organic calcium supplements were associated with a 30 per cent increased risk of having a heart attack.
Famous German magazine “Der Spiegel” reported in January about a scientific study with 230, 000 subjects:”They also came to the conclusion that the increased intake of (chemically/synthetically generated) vitamin supplements significantly increased mortality, namely, vitamin A, beta carotene and vitamin E”

Dietary supplements are evaluated by their quantity of daily value: e.g. 200% of magnesium, 300% of vitamin C and so on. In nature these values are not existent because for instance a super healthy organic green salad contains only fractions of these amounts but its minerals/vitamins are completely re-sorbable. Why is that so? Because only plants have the magical power to transform non-organic stone minerals into organic therefore bio-available minerals.

Mother Nature is simply unbeatable. And trusting any company who sells chemical/synthetically generated minerals/vitamins with a big marketing budget could be pretty short-sighted because most of these products are on the market just since 1-15 years. Any customer who ingests these products is a “voluntary test person” who even pays lots of money for their test. And sometime unfortunately the test results are negative as the British Medical Journal reported in case of the people who wanted to prevent Osteoporosis but end up with an increased risk of heart attack.

By the way: I found that even some products claim a natural source of vitamins and minerals in Organic Health Food Stores. They contain e.g. wheat grass or spirulina but also the producer added chemical/synthetically substances to “show off with daily values”.

Having a great green organic diet and adding a completely natural and omni-molecular life-food like Dr. Jentschura’s WurzelKraft is a safe and smart choice.

It is omni-molecular life food (it contains all elements of the periodic table) with its 100 (aromatic) and 106 (fruity) natural ingredients which are mostly organic and wild-crafted herbs and plants.

The name WurzelKraft means “the power of roots”.

All elements our body is made of and does need are in it. So people can save money because usually they pay for lots of different products (vitamin C, Magnesium, Calcium, etc.)

It helps your kidneys excrete toxins/acids via urine.

The best thing about WK is that all minerals and vitamins are bio available and re-sorbable.

Choosing a completely natural dietary life food like WurzelKraft is a great choice.

We have some ND’s who even create the miracle to help dialyse patients with kidney problems: These patients eat large amounts of Dr. Jentschura’s WurzelKraft and bathe 3 times a week for 1.5 hours in Dr. Jentschura’s AlkaBath.

How To Alleviate Symptoms Of Menopause In A Natural Way

How To Alleviate Symptoms Of Menopause In A Natural Way
The symptoms of menopause afflict most women in their mid-forties to fifties. They include factors such as sweating, depression, weight increase, hair loss, osteoporosis, arthritis and heart attack. Finding natural easing for the common menopausal links is described in work by Dr. Jentschura of Germany. He links many diseases and experiences of this life period to acidic toxicity in the blood and body systems.

The term itself means a cessation of menstrual cycles. Because the gradual stopping of monthly cycles is accompanied by changes in hormonal levels, it is expected that the hormone changes will create disruptions in bodily health. An increasing level of acid in your body means the organs must work harder to complete the natural cycle.

During and after the menopausal period, the needs of the body change significantly. One part of the triple jump process is to increase the nutrients and minerals in the body so that the acidic buildup and toxicity of the bloodstream and organs is eliminated. Daily purification of the body is important, since it is no longer cleansed once per month through the menstrual cycle.

A solution of bath salts, also used in the application of alkaline stockings is helpful for treating and energizing the external organ, the skin. The stocking can be worn at night and help to provide a natural and restful sleep. Drinking an alkaline tea is another aspect of healthful living with the removal of toxins from the body.

In addition to the Triple Jump tenets, Dr. Jentschura focuses on three commandments for a better lifestyle. These include avoiding harmful things; eat, drink, and do beneficial things; and eliminate harmful things. The alkaline products available online offer a three-pronged approach.

Although the Triple Jump is identified as a program to relieve the symptoms of menopause naturally, it is also useful for anyone who wants to feel better. Remaining healthy and fit for additional decades is the goal of the program of detoxification. No harsh or chemical substances are employed in detoxifying the body.

Strengthen Your Vitality With Alkaline Foods

The human body has various ways to secrete acids, toxins and other harmful substances through different organs and functions. The main secretion organs are the outermost layers of the skin, which release toxins through sweat, pimples, eczema, shed, warts; and the mucous membranes through mucus and discharge. One of the most important organ for secretion are your intestines. In the intestines, acids are split into gas and water, which is the cause of flatulence. That is why we highly recommend a herbal or hydro colon cleanse.

The kidneys are the most important secretion organs in removing acids, such as uric acid, lactic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, oxalic acid and other acids within the body. These organs are crucial for our bodies function in excreting acids, chemical reagents, and other base-forming minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium.

We need these base-forming minerals and we receive them from the daily vegetable diet. The vital substances received through this kind of diet are not only the basis to form our bones and tendons, our vessels, cartilage and skin; these vital substances are virtually carriers, which bind the acids molecule to molecule, removing them from our body through urine. Therefore it is our essential that our daily diet be rich in vital substances and minerals, creating an efficient life of health and beauty for the acid-loaded body of the modern human being.

Wurzelkraft serves as a tremendous assistant for our two kidneys. It strengthens their productivity in secreting acids and other toxins from the body. The secretion capacity of the kidneys in our modern and diet–with an overabundance of coffee, meat, sweets salty chips and peanuts–is greatly diminished. The kidneys are overloaded with pollutants and acids, while receiving only small amounts of energy-lacking minerals for acid neutralization and strengthening. Offer your body an abundance of alkaline foods.

We need large amounts of not only organic vegetable and whole food supplements because they are necessary for people suffering from deposits or excretions – it is a tremendous help for the kidneys and their capacity to secrete acids. For patients with structural damage including osteoporosis, spinal disc problems, skin aging or similar. You cannot overdo eating a healthy diet. You are able to eat better for your health!

A whole food dietary supplement like Wurzelkraft, which contains 100 all natural plants and plant substances, is a fully designed omnimolekular (all minerals are completely available in the supplement) whole food, which provides the body with a limitless abundance of minerals and vitamins, amino acids and countless vegetable fiber and other active substances. It is a living food that permeates our body with vital energy. The superior offer of Wurzelkraft is the high energetic, base-forming minerals that thoroughly strengthen the kidneys, improving overall body function and health. Our body is in a desperate need of nano-sized, organic minerals to deal with toxins and acids. “Alkalize or Die”

Eat lots of alkaline foods to improve your health.

The Scientific Proof That The Alkaline Foods are Critical To Your Health

Posted on : 07-12-2011 | By : Stephan, The Alkaline Diet Guy | In : Uncategorized

Recent scientific research into human health, sickness & disease has shown with increasing evidence that living an acid-lifestyle is extremely detrimental to health & that by living alkaline you can increase your health, energy, vitality, immune system, youthfulness and protect yourself from disease.

As recently as October 2009, a Cambridge University study published in the highly respected British Journal of Nutrition stated:
The concept of diet-induced ‘acidosis’ as a cause of disease has been a subject of interest for more than a century. The present article reviews the history of our evolving understanding of physiological pH, the physiological support for the concept of ‘acidosis’, the causes of acidosis, how it is recognised, its short-term effects as well as the long-term clinical relevance of preventative measures, and the research support for normalisation of pH.
The available research makes a compelling case that diet-induced acidosis…is a real phenomenon, and has a significant, clinical, long-term pathophysiological effect that should be recognised and potentially counterbalanced by dietary means.1
The researchers, Pizzornoa, Frassettoa and Katzinger have clearly identified that acidosis (increased acidity in the blood – pH below 7.365) is a very real threat to our health.
Furthermore, my research has shown that the effects of acidosis can directly contribute to various cancers2, 3, 12, arthritis4, osteoporosis5, cardiovascular disease6, diabetes7, depression/psychological disfunctions8, Crohn’s disease9, kidney disease10. Yes, all of the top five killers in Western society and a whole heap more. Furthermore, my experience and the experience of those who have used my twelve week Alkaline Diet Course have given me significant proof that living alkaline also leads to weight/fat loss, muscle gain (also scientifically proven11), energy increases, libido increases, skin improvements and more.

Alkaline Diet & Cancer
Alkaline Minerals Prevent Cancer Growth
In March 2009, Robey, Baggett, Kirkpatrick et al published a paper in the American Association for Cancer Research Journal proving that alkaline minerals (in this case NaHCO3 – sodium bicarbonate) that raise the extracellular pH of cancer tumor cells and prevent metastasis. Their research shows that the pH of the tumors are always acidic and by using highly alkaline minerals to raise the pH – the growth of the cancer (and involvement of lymph nodes) is prevented.
Source: Cancer Research 69, 2260, March 15, 2009
Cancer Thrives in an Acidic Environment
Also in Cancer Research Journal, in 2006, Gatenby, Gawlinski et al researched and discovered that “chronic exposure of normal tissue to an acidic microenvironment produces toxicity by: (a) normal cell death… and (b) extracellular matrix degradation”. They proffer that glucose imbalance (an acid lifestlye) leads to a chronically acidic microenvironment (the normal cells and molecules that surround a tumor cell) which provides the perfect base for cancer.

Acidosis & Osteoporosis
Alkaline Minerals Prevent Osteoporosis
A recently published study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (Vol 94, No 1 96-102, 2009) has provided further evidence that the consumption of and supplementation with alkaline minerals is essential for good health. The objective of the study was to understand the effect of alkaline organic minerals (potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate and potassium chloride) on bone health – specifically, the ability of these alkaline minerals to slow the bone resorption rate and calcium excretion.
The participants who were taking the bicarbonate supplements had significant reductions in urinary N-telopeptide and calcium excretion when compared to the control group. This means that when taking the alkaline organic minerals, bones remained stronger and healthier.

Cardiovascular Disease & the Alkaline Diet
Alkaline Minerals Critical to Prevention of CVD
In the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, Joseph Campbell provides a thorough review of the scientific literature surrounding minerals and disease and highlights that the alkaline minerals, magnesium and calcium, are critical to the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). He also highlights that “Excessive consumption of acid producing foods, results in metabolic acidosis. When this occurs, the parathyroid hormone stimulates the removal of calcium from the bones and teeth (osteolysis), to buffer or neutralize the excess acidity. After many years, such calcium loss results in depleted bone, bone weakness and structure.”
Source: Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine Vol. 10, No. 3 & 4, 1995

Arthritis & Alkalinity
Alkaline Mineral Supplementation Decreases Pain in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
This incredible study from Institute for Prevention and Nutrition (Germany) provided clear and unquestionable evidence that using an alkaline mineral supplement (30g daily) reduced pain and increased movement in patients with moderately active Rheumatoid Arthritis over a 12-week period.
Source: The Open Nutrition Journal, 2008, 2, 100-105
Do you want to safeguard yourself from degenerative diseases while living with more energy, a lean, fit body, great skin, youthfulness and vitality?
How You Can Guarantee Your Health With Alkaline Minerals
The above studies prove, without question, that having sufficient alkaline mineral buffers to neutralise dietary, lifestyle and metabolic acids is critical to maintaining excellent health, energy and vitality and to the prevention of degenerative disease.
It is also highlighted in several of these studies that using an alkaline mineral supplement is an effective way of guaranteeing your daily intake of alkaline minerals is sufficient.
The efficacy of using a organic mineral supplement (and these supplements providing a usable form of these minerals) is further supported by this June 2009 study published in the Nutrition Journal, “Effect of a supplement rich in alkaline minerals on acid-base balance in humans”. The study concluded “that the ingestion of a organic multimineral supplement is associated with both a significant increase in blood and urinary pH”.
If you want to guarantee you have sufficient alkaline minerals then supplementation with a omni-molecular life food life foods like WurzelKraft is a smart choice

Milk and osteoporosis

Did you know that women in Korea do not suffer from Osteoporosis? Why? Simply because they do not drink milk!

Oftentimes milk is recommended for the supply with calcium when suffering from mineral supplement deficiency diseases like osteoporosis. But by now it is known that the reason for this disease is not an insufficient intake of calcium and much less an insufficient consumption of milk but rather a highly overacidic nutrition and lifestyle. This robs the organism of minerals and harms the bones.
If milk was as indispensable for the health of our bones as oftentimes considered the countries with the lowest consumption of milk like e. g. countries in Asia and Africa, should have the highest rates of osteoporosis. This is not the case. Indigenous people who consume no milk at all have an outstanding bone density.
The large quantities of milk protein that are consumed nowadays are problematic for our organism. The exogenous lactoprotein is reabsorbed by the intestine into the blood but not incorporated into the cells. Thus the blood gets overloaded with milk protein. This condition can be made visible on blood pictures with the dark-field microscope. Furthermore our cleansing system, the lymph is being constipated and congested.
Milk and intolerance
In the field of adverse reactions to food you differentiate between allergies and intolerances or non-allergic hypersensitivities. If a person suffers from an allergy against a special type of food the immune system of that person answers towards the food or a special constituent with an antigen- and antibody-specific reaction. Symptoms appear only after multiple contacts with the allergen.
One special food allergy is the allergy against cow’s milk protein. The sources are allergenic proteins like e. g. casein or whey proteins. Symptoms of an allergy against cow’s milk protein are diarrhoea and vomiting but also skin and airway problems like e. g. asthma. These symptoms are not related to the quantity of allergen that was taken in. People suffering from this allergy have to avoid contact with the respective allergens, i. e. the relevant dairy products by all means.
If suffering from an intolerance or hypersensitivity the reaction is triggered directly by the constituents of the food. There is no antigen- and antibody-specific reaction. When the enzyme lactase looses its ability and activity to
segregate milk sugar the undigested lactose finds its way into the lower parts of the intestine. Among others, this process can lead to flatulence, abdominal pain and diarrhoea. The symptoms often appear several hours after first contact with the respective substance. One example for these intolerances is lactose intolerance.
Roughly 15 % of Germans develop this intolerance against lactose at some point of their lives. Among other population groups in e. g. Africa or Asia lactose intolerance is even more common.
Usually fermented milk products like yoghurt, kefir and buttermilk are tolerated by people with lactose intolerance at least in small quantities. This is because during the preparation of yoghurt special lactic acid bacteria are mixed into the milk that prepare the way by transforming the lactose into lactic acid.
During infancy and toddler age cow’s milk and dairy products are considered to be the most common triggers for intolerances. Symptoms can for example be diarrhoea and infantile eczema or even atopic dermatitis. Particularly for atopic dermatitis it is recommended to abandon the consumption of milk and dairy products. Oftentimes the condition quickly improves. Toddlers should take in dairy products not until after 12 months

We recommend:

1 Avoid milk, sugar, gluten, meat products and eat lots of greens. Dr. Jentschura’s omni-molecular life food WurzelKraft has 106 herbs and offers all vital substances, minerals and vitamin to help the kidneys work!
2 Long full or foot bath help to detox the body via the skin. You use AlkaBath with 8 precious stones. Also you can do Alkaline Wraps and Stocking and help your body detox with dry and wet brushing.
3 Regenerate with Oxygen treatments: Take 3 drops of Hydrogen Peroxide on half a glass of water 3 times a day (10.00 am, 4.00 pm and 9.00 pm) on an empty stomach and do not eat for 30 min. This is a strong cleanser and it helps your body with the absorption of nutrition. Also Drink one tea spoon of Baking Soda in a glass of water before you go to bed at 10.00 p.m. to help you alkalize during the night.
