Real food can stimulate, cleanse, feed, protect, develop and regenerate. They connect us with all the richness of nature, the minerals, plants and strengthen the power of our life energy (Chi).
The health value of vitamins, minerals and trace elements, each is known. Many consumers already cover their needs for these nutrients – depending on awareness through a smorgasbord of fine chemicals packaged in brightly colored capsules or – what I suggest – in a natural and tasty art the way, your body “knows” about the color, taste and smell what he is doing well in the long run. This only works if the dietary supplement in capsules neither hidden nor in flavors, flavor enhancers and sweeteners was falsified. Smell, taste and means to use the inner physician, their personal “autopilot” of the survival and self-healing experience has saved millions of years. All other means in plain text: you leave the responsibility for their individual right complement to the marketing experts of the provider. Each isolated substance, and that also applies to vitamins and minerals that takes in an unnatural way deep into the body’s metabolism. Isolated substances such as drugs are handled, because everything seems unnaturally fast, also has side effects. Therefore, such dietary supplements to be taken only in the short term and on the individual recommendation of a competent therapist. Leading heads of pharmacy and nutrition science still believe that some ingredients are healthy for the effect of a product or foodstuff solely responsible. That’s a big mistake. In fact, this science is a single theater Poss. She wants to explain the miracle of life through the chemistry of dead substances and denies life energy; Chi, Prana or whatever you want to call them.
The dietary supplements of the future will be developed jointly by biophysicists and natural doctors, because they are used to nature-based and interdisciplinary thinking. VIEWING e.g. The research results of the medical director of the Selection Committee for the Soviet cosmonaut, Dr. Schatalova: She fed mice an artificial mixture, the chemical composition of the milk corresponded exactly with all the necessary vitamins, minerals and trace elements. The poor animals died while still faster than those who were fed only with water. With a few drops of milk in addition to the untreated animals was better again.
Dr. Schatalova finished with it: It depends not only on the presence of all substances, but on the biological energy that is inherent in all living things. The findings of modern science of biophotonics (Prof. FA Popp and many others) come to similar conclusions.
Each unadulterated food is like a symphony of coordinated components. It gives us in addition to active ingredients, stored solar energy and well-being. The mechanistically-oriented science is always happy to appear as they would understand the nature quite well. Only a few parts per thousand are examined for all the important body substances. It involved the role of hormones, enzymes, the intestinal bacteria and the mental and sensory control is virtually unexplored. My advice: Enjoy and taste is always better in the long run than swallowing.
In addition, based an entire research field of nutrition science prevailing at inappropriate measurement techniques – Measurement methods in the test tube, which are only partially transferable to humans. This is particularly evident in the determination of the antioxidant potential of foods and vitamins to protect against the so-called “free radicals”.
To explain:
In the human organism is constantly forming so-called “free radicals”. Environmental impacts, some drugs and food additives, stimulants such as coffee, exercise, stress and much more strengthen their development.
Free radicals damage the body cells weaken, the whole human organism and can lead to premature aging.
Simply put, free radicals cause the “rusting” of body cells. Free radicals are paving the way for rapid aging and diseases such as atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and cancer in particular.
Preventive medicine speak of “oxidative stress” afflicting the modern man of wealth and that represents a serious threat to overall fitness and health.
To counteract the free radicals must be trapped and rendered harmless. This is what the anti-oxidants, they effectively prevent the “rusting of the body cells.”
The measurement of the antioxidant potential is therefore the determination of the protective effect of a vitamin or food. Worldwide, this measurement is preferably carried out by the TEAC method (or similar measuring method). It is simple and cheap – but possibly outdated. Because this method did a whole generation of scientists, would be the most effective antioxidant vitamins. Perhaps the biggest mistake of nutritional science.
The research results of the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center under the direction of Professor Prior brought a completely different result: “The antioxidant power of most flavonoids (bioactive plant compounds) is much stronger than the effect of vitamin A (beta carotene), E and C . ” The team led by Professor Prior has developed a new method to detect the antioxidant power of bioactive substances (ORAC). This is the traditional test method that is incomplete.
Bioactive plant compounds have become the new stars of preventive health care has become. International research shows the spectrum of action: bend bioactive against cancer, protect the heart and circulation, inhibit bacteria and even viruses are anti-inflammatory, regulates blood pressure and stimulate the immune system.
Our whole metabolism is adapted to the daily intake of more than 10,000 different bioactive. This does not mean that replace bioactive phytochemicals, vitamins. On the contrary, everything is working together makes sense. Ideal would be a broadband complement in the most natural form. For the comprehensive cell protection you need from today’s perspective, the vitamins A, C, E, selenium, zinc, reduced glutathione, and many other herbal remedies. But please do not (called alpha-vitamin E or alpha-tocopherol) is contained in capsules, vitamin E, but the entire vitamin E family (beta-, gamma-and delta-tocopherol and tocotrienols). Nature and diversity means just is not as innocent as our way of thinking mechanistically trained chemist. The entire vitamin E family comes e.g. present in freshly harvested nuts and vegetable oils. Due to long storage time and treatment, the antioxidant protective effect, however, be drastically reduced. The body also needs constantly enzymes (the tools of the metabolism), healthy microorganisms (such as lactic acid bacteria and bioactive natural yeasts for the healthy balance in the gut), peptides (highly active proteins), phytohormones (plant metabolic control materials), lipids (fatty substances such as fatty acids and lecithin ) and countless other herbal active ingredients.
The new ORAC measurement methods rehabilitated nature. It proves, what did our great natural healers have always been: the most effective antioxidants are not vitamins, but the red and blue berries and fruits! The darker and more intense the color, the better the protective effect.
These health treasures our ancestors knew and used. Father Kneipp recommended a good reason to prefer any elderberry bush hat. Elderberries are not only healthy, but together with magnesium and athletes almost the ideal supplement to counteract the anti-oxidative stress meet. Other blue berries are a veritable gift of nature. Bilberries (blueberries) to help heal intestinal diseases and are very effective in diarrheal diseases, particularly in combination with natural Gärgetränken on Lactobacillus and Naturhefebasis.
In Japan, our native blueberries and black currants are as the hot tip for staying young, healthy arteries and preservation of eyesight. Some of our local contemporaries, however, set in exotic fruits such as pineapple and Noni – we live in a crazy time. But more people would realize that the good is so close and how valuable the experience of our ancestors! That would be a major step in preventive medicine. Berries are rich in vitamin A and carotene, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, potassium and manganese. They help the circulation and are ideal for strengthening heart. It would also create more natural paradises, because blueberries promote the value of forests. Seabuckthorn makes Barrens again fertile ground. Elderberries are an important food for birds, with their songs to contribute to our spiritual equilibrium.
More and more people are waking up from her coma advertising, be confident and thinks about what they support with their purchases: natural or industrial. But even incorrigible egoists have a direct benefit of the berries: blueberries make you fit and improves the blood vessels, according to animal studies, the intelligence. Together with lecithin and the fruit and the fruit and berries polysugars there is a huge advance in brain power. Choline supports simultaneously as part of the vegetable lecithin the liver as an important detoxification organ.
The future needs a purified people with a healthy mind and a lot of heart for nature – so that we can be proud again to be human. The nature reaches us with its abundance of fruits, berries and seeds hand – we need to access only!

What are bio-active substances?
There are over 10,000 different bioactive substances. The most important bioactive substances:
Carotenoids
They stimulate the immune system, prevent cancer and are considered important antioxidants. Carotenoids are divided into lycopene, lutein, alpha-and beta-carotene. They are found in orange fruits and vegetables, tomatoes and grapefruit / grapefruit.
Terpenes
They are important Krebsvorbeuger. Among the terpenes are menthol, citrus oil and carvone, they occur mainly in mint, cumin and lime.
Sulfides
They are truly a miracle cure: sulphides act as antioxidants, prevent cancer, stimulate the immune system, are anti-inflammatory, blood sugar-lowering and digestion. They are found especially in garlic.
Polyphenols
Polyphenols are also important antioxidants. They seem immune stimulant and prevent cancer. They are found inter alia in red wine, grapes, onions, green beans / green beans, corn, blueberries, raspberries, red cabbage and kale.
Phytosterols
They lower cholesterol levels in the brush, the blood vessels and prevent cancer. For example, in sunflower seeds, linseed, wheat bran, cold-pressed vegetable oils.
Saponins
The bitterness of the legumes, lower cholesterol and prevent the proliferation of cells.
Glucosinolates
They wear bow to the typical taste of mustard, horseradish, broccoli, against infection. By enzymatic degradation of glucosinolates, among other things arise indoles in cabbage, radish and watercress. They reduce the risk of breast cancer.
Bioflavonoids
neutralize bad cholesterol, keep the blood liquid bend, before hardening of the arteries. They inhibit inflammation and increase the effect of vitamin C by 30-fold. For example, you put in cabbage, tomatoes, peppers, carrots, apricots, citrus fruits.
Protease inhibitors
are enzymes in legumes (lentils, peas, beans) and grains that support the bowel and help prevent colon and liver cancer.
