By Dr. h.c. Peter Jentschura
In our time, burdened with illnesses caused by modern-day civilization, many people have the course of their physical and psychological health predetermined upon waking in the morning. Does the day begin with instant psychological stress for the soul followed by a “Greek breakfast” for our physicality? For many men and women in the generation under fifty, the Greek breakfast is “cool” and “in”.
Maybe you belong to the older generation and aren’t familiar with this “Greek breakfast”. It consists of a cup of strong black coffee and a cigarette. That makes one feel alive after a short night and ready for another stressful day. That’s why one cleverly begins with immediate physical and psychological stress, and insists on continuing this familiar rhythm.
Fortunately, this Greek breakfast is more likely the exception than the norm on most breakfast tables. Yet, unfortunately, the other four breakfast types are not more “healthy”. In fact, they give way to metabolic problems, rather than strengthening our metabolism, immune system, and overall physical health. We differentiate between the four breakfast types as follows:
The Gluten Breakfast
The gluten breakfast is the most common white flour breakfast with bread and buns, and it is also the crunchy-muesli-breakfast. People who are allergic to gluten should avoid this kind of breakfast, and many people who suffer from digestive problems should reduce their intake of grains. After being consumed over years and decades, gluten has the tendency to congeal, and become lodged in our organs. These constrictions are the reason for the rise of high blood pressure, which reveals itself over the decades of our lives. This rise in physical pressure can have many effects such as inflammations or physical stress, and also the constrictions and congestions of our blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, and other conductors such as the fallopian tube, ureter, or seminal duct.

The Milk Breakfast
The daily milk breakfast equally contributes to constrictions and congestions of our vessels. Milk does not only contain a high degree of congestive components, but also many elements of phosphate and the enzyme catalase. The high amount of phosphate is the reason that milk and milk product are not calcium providers, but actually calcium robbers.

The catalase in cows’ milk is an oxygen robber and sets in motion all kinds of deficiency diseases. Catalase reduces the intake of oxygen into our blood, and therefore into our whole organism. However, oxygen is the great receptor for all substances reaching into our organism.

Our body as a whole consists of 80% oxygen. This element is the main axis of our entire metabolism. Even our bones chemically consist mainly of oxygen.

The element oxygen is a so called “negative element.” It doesn’t mean it is a bad element, it means it is an “absorbing” one. Diseases like iron deficiency anaemia are solved in no time; if one eliminates milk and milk products while introducing oxygen therapies, such as the haematoma oxygen therapy or a pointed supply of ionic oxygen.

The Sugar Breakfast
The ingredients of a sugar breakfast rapidly ferment within our bodies, causing many negative consequences. Bread and buns themselves are derived from a fermentation process. The huge consumption of sugar in jams, nut spreads, chocolate drinks and other drinks introduces constant alcohol fermentation in the intestines. Over the years this hidden inebriation of our youth may be the less observed reason our young people tap into an over-consumption of alcohol.

The constant overload of bad alcohol derived from the fermentation in the small intestines in the organism of the child has already lowered the IQ level and the whole spirit and body performance levels.

Children like the typical toast or white flour bread with chocolate spread, which contains much sugar and fat. The result is our children become overweight and weak, while the acidity of the body increases, leading to diabetes and excess weight. The vessels become burdened with sticky gluten, and fungal diseases will also rise.
Due to the sugar portion and the missing fibre in the diet, the blood sugar level will rise. After that, the insulin level will rise to transfer the sugar and fat into the cells. The blood sugar level then rapidly drops and the brain again signals food cravings. New energy has to be activated to overcome the low level of energy. If again sweets, coke, energy drinks are consumed, the whole dangerous cycle is repeated, and the blood sugar levels again play roller-coaster. Boredom and lack of motivation rotates with aggressiveness and hyper activity. Soon there is the need for “helpful” psychological drugs.

The Salty Breakfast
Business people know this breakfast as the “New York breakfast.” It consists of a plate of scrambled eggs, white bread with fried sausages and fried ham. The ‘normal’ salty breakfast consists of ham and sausage, egg with salt and pepper, and tasty cheeses.

The salt lovers normally aren’t aware that the two kidneys generally are only able to eliminate daily 5-6 grams common salt. Notice, this is in reference to both kidneys! This so called “salt barrier” causes a salt congestion, which manifests itself as lard fat in the kidneys and then as lard fat in the intestines. With a continuous excessive consumption of salt and subsequent accumulation of waste products, cellulite, back tension, causes damaged intervertebral discs; in the end these so called “new hips” are further steps of a career ladder, which all began with an overload of the kidneys. There are two recommendations for salt lovers in restoring internal balance. The first is to reduce the salt intake. The second well-meaning advice is to strengthen the two kidneys in their ability to release acidity and sodium chloride. This strengthening takes place through an extensive provision of omni molecular vital substances. For example: zinc is a great support to the kidneys in eliminating acids and poisoning salts. Now we come to the fifth type of breakfast.

The Gluten Free and Lactose Free Vital Substances Breakfast

This fifth breakfast is a kind of “quinta essentia” for our health. Greece in the old days knew four elements–water, earth, fire, and air–while searching for thousands of years for the fifth element, the “quinta essentia”.

How does the best possible “quinta essentia” breakfast look like? It is a salt free, dairy free, sugar free, and gluten free breakfast. It is also not a raw breakfast, it will be cooked for a short time, and therefore digestible and absorbable for all constitution types, as well for babies, seniors and people with allergies. This breakfast is mineral rich and filled with vital substances. It is an ideal metabolism starter. It is composed of non-allergenic gluten free seeds such as millet, buckwheat, amaranth, sweet almonds, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds, which are providers of high quality fatty acids.

Such a breakfast is an integral part of an omni molecular supply of vital substances for our organism providing a health start in the early morning. With such a nutrient-rich supply we strengthen our immune system and support our organism in overcoming the many allergies in our time. It is also the ideal breakfast for an anti fungus diet, and for weight loss. It is a breakfast with a high density of nutritional value, but without empty calories.

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)

Lettuce
Rocket/Rockquette/Rucola/Arugula

Chillis
Cauliflower
1 bunch of Coriander
1 bunch of Basil
1 bunch of Spring Onions/Shallots
1 packet of Beansprouts

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

Kale is my favourite super food! Awesome in a smoothie or steams. Loaded with health!

Kale is the best leafy green beauty that is widely known for its
cancer-fighting, cholesterol-lowering, antioxidant-rich, detoxifying goodness.

Less popular than spinach, but only because it has a history of being cooked poorly (like cabbage) –
when done right it is absolutely delicious. If you eat kale 2-3 times per week you’ll know it. Like spinach it is massively high in vitamin k,
vitamin a and vitamin c and being leafy green it also has a huge chlorophyll content.

The reason it is so powerful against the cancer fight is that kale contains at least four glucosinolates.
I don’t want to lose you here by using words like glucosinolates – all you need to know is that as
soon as you eat and digest kale, these glucosinolates are really easily converted by the body into
cancer fighting compounds.

Also quite amazing for lowering cholesterol, it should be noted that steamed kale is more effective
for cholesterol lowering than raw.

Nutrients Per 1 Cup:
Vitamin K: 1327% RDA
Vitamin A: 354% RDA
Vitamin C: 88.8% RDA
Manganese: 27% RDA
Fiber: 12% RDA
Calcium: 11% RDA

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.

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.

Although part of the normal human aging process, the cessation of female hormone production can be very unpleasant. Women often experience hot flashes, irritability, a dramatic loss of libido, and sometimes even a greater incidence of osteoporosis. While not technically a disease, the symptoms of menopause may feel like one.

When hormone replacement therapy was introduced, it initially produced remarkable results. Long term testing, however, showed that women undergoing replacement experienced a greater incidence of serious complications, including heart problems and even cancer. These findings prompted the search for a safer and more effective way to control the worst symptoms.

Today, there is growing interest in restoring internal balances of acid and alkaline properties, rather than simply treating the worst outward menopausal symptoms. Imbalances are primarily a result of the unhealthy excesses of modern diet and lifestyle, which regularly expose the body to acidic toxins. Unhealthy acid levels encourage many signs of premature aging.

Restoring optimal alkaline and acidic balance can be accomplished through a specific process of physical cleansing and purification. This type of toxic elimination is designed to remove deposited substances not only from the skin and mucous membranes, but also from most cells, joints, membranes, tissues, and other organs where they cause inflammation.

The cleansing process begins with some major changes in lifestyle and diet. Eliminating refined, denatured, and chemically preserved food products immediately reduces internal stresses, especially when accompanied by increased levels of exercise and fluid intake. When coupled with medically supervised fasting, the body soon begins to rid itself of harmful substances.

By reducing acid and restoring proper alkaline levels, the entire organism begins to experience a rejuvenation, and many symptoms of menopause begin to fade, or even disappear altogether. This process has been successful for some individuals, even when others are ineffective. Women who undergo a process of cleansing not only feel better inside, but may also look younger.

Due to their molecular structure carbohydrates are divided into the so called simple and complex carbohydrates.

The simple carbohydrates are the so called monosaccharides (simple sugars like e. g. glucose and fructose) and disaccharides (double sugars like e. g. refined sugar crystals, malt sugar or lactose).

In opposition to the simple mono- and disaccharides the complex carbohydrates include all types of sugar (saccharides) that contain at least three monosaccharide molecules.

These are e. g. oligosaccharides (multiple sugars like e. g. raffinose (raffinose is a carbohydrate contained in plants, to be exact a triple sugar (trisaccharide)) as well as polysaccharides (multiple sugars like e. g. starch, cellulose, chitin).

As far as possible we should avoid simple carbohydrates that can be found mostly in sugar, sweets, honey and some fruits. Simple carbohydrates have the trait to increase the blood sugar level at a very fast pace and thus cause a high release of insulin and arouse the sensation of hunger!

Complex carbohydrates saturate longer and supply all kinds of important substances for our health. They contain many vitamins and are high in dietary fibres. Complex carbohydrates can be found in vegetables, grains, potatoes and leguminous plants.

• The amount of carbohydrates in our diet should predominantly consist of complex carbohydrates. As they have to be broken down in the small intestine they are transferred into the blood at a slower but more continuous pace. Thus a constant blood sugar level is achieved for a longer amount of time. In this way a consistent supply with energy over a longer time is made possible. Moreover important vitamins, minerals and dietary fibres are delivered together with these carbohydrates. The organism has to spend energy to utilise long-chain carbohydrates, a process similar to the digestion of proteins.
• The simple sugars (mono- and disaccharides) are turned into glucose quicker and arrive in the blood in a shorter amount of time. They let the blood sugar level rise quickly and increase the release of insulin. More insulin means a higher breakdown of glucose, a decrease of the blood sugar level and a renewed sensation of hunger.
• Therefore you should consume few simple carbohydrates and better help yourself with complex carbohydrates. Superfluous carbohydrates are not discarded but stored in the liver and the muscles as a quickly utilisable body’s own energy supply. Under certain circumstances surplus glucose can be transferred into fat. Thus when feeding on a diet very rich in carbohydrates (more than 500 g sugar per day) the well known fat stores can develop even if the diet is poor in fat.

alkaline diet can safe your life.

Breakfast
A valuable breakfast rich in vital substances awards you with fitness and liveliness and is the best start for the day. Highly recommended and easily digestible is warm millet-buckwheat porridge. You can either bring it to a boil or dash it with hot water if you lack time. You can refine the pulp according to taste and individual tolerance. When put into a box it can easily be taken to work, school or kindergarten. If you are not hungry enough in the morning try a little fresh fruit.

As a second breakfast or snack we recommend for example a slice of wholemeal bread garnished with vegetables and a piece of fruit.

Of course you can once in a while give yourself a Sunday breakfast treat with fresh rolls and an egg. By the way, studies prove that people who breakfast are less frequently overweight.

Also we highly recommend to start your day with a super green smoothie: organic spinach, broccoli, kale, parsley, celery, 1 or 2 apples and 1 or 2 tablespoons of organic oils (sunflower, flaxseed,..) are awesome ingredients.

Lunch
Particularly people who spend a lot of time sitting down at work need a light lunch. After pizza, French fries or other high-calorie meals many people feel tired and heavy and lack performance for the rest of the afternoon.

At lunchtime the body can best digest salads and raw food. If you additionally eat a warm meal you should always eat the salad or raw food first. This way the digestion is promoted and important enzymes are activated.

If you have no possibility to cook at work you should bring packed lunch from home like e. g. a crisp mixed salad. Vegetables or legumes with potatoes, rice or gluten-free cereal are recommendable. Risotto, millet risotto and polenta are good alternatives to pizza and can be warmed up easily like vegetable, quinoa and potato casserole or vegetable stir-fry. Vegetable or millet patties or the like can also be enjoyed cold.

Nowadays almost every cafeteria has a salad buffet and a wide choice of other healthy meals. Oftentimes vegetarian dishes are also offered. Keep your hands off of large meat servings and oily sauces. Help yourself to a large serving of a side dish like vegetables, potatoes or millets instead. The slow increase of blood sugar level that is characteristic for these foods that rich in dietary fibres brings about a long-lasting feeling of satiety and prevents you from quickly getting tired after lunch.

Recipes for lunch

Quinoa-olive-salad
4 servings
2 cups quinoa
4 cups vegetable broth
1 small onion
3 teaspoons olive oil
3 tomatoes, cubed
2 carrots, shredded
100 g black or green olives
pepper and seasoned salt

Wash the quinoa seeds with hot water, let them drip off and lightly stew them in 1 teaspoon oil. Stir in the vegetable broth and let simmer for approx. 15 minutes. Let cool down and mix with vegetables and 2 teaspoons olive oil. Season according to taste.

Mixed salad with warm mustard vinaigrette
4 Servings
½ head endive
100 g arugula
1 ripe avocado
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons coarse mustard

Tear, wash and dry the salad. Peel the avocado, cut into thin slices and mix with the salad in a bowl. Slightly roast the sesame seeds in 1 tablespoon oil. After the seeds have cooled down stir in the lemon juice, olive oil and mustard. Pour the dressing over the salad immediately. Tasty with potatoes boiled in their skins.

Dinner
If people regularly have gastrointestinal problems after dinner they should try to eat little or no cereal, fruits, raw vegetables or salad after 18 p.m. Liver and digestive tract are already resting during this time. For this reason abovementioned foods can not be macerated adequately and start to ferment overnight. In this way toxic metabolic waste develops that burdens liver and intestine. Eat vegetable soups or stewed vegetables with potatoes, millets or quinoa for dinner to avoid this.

If the reduction of weight is first priority for you try to avoid foods with a high amount of carbohydrates in the evening. You can really boost the overnight fat burning by following this advice. Eat a large serving of vegetables with maybe a small protein addition like e. g. cheese or a small piece of meat or fish instead of potatoes, bread or rolls, cereal and the like.

Recipe for dinner

Vegetables from the oven
Vegetables like pumpkin, carrots, eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper, potatoes, etc. according to taste
Olive oil
Pepper and seasoned salt

Preheat the oven to 150 °C. Wash and chop the vegetables and dab them with oil. Put the vegetables with the cut surface facing upwards onto a baking plate laid out with baking paper. Bake for approx. 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Season with pepper and seasoned salt. Serve with a dip like e. g. vegetable sunflower spread, guacamole or creamed cheese with linseed oil.
