Kennzeichnung: Kennzeichnungsstatus: Zur Nachverfolgung Gekennzeichnet New and Undefined Diseases Ladies and Gentlemen These days, common diseases present themselves completely different from what they used to be like in former times – and many other diseases appear far more frequently than they did 20 to 50 years ago. For instance, there are viruses found now, which did not exist before – and they cause new diseases. Bacteria – much feared in earlier days today, appear completely differently, and are frequently significantly more aggressive, due to the deployment of antibiotics. Ancient diseases – former scourges of mankind – such as tuberculosis or poliomyelitis have almost disappeared. However, the largest increase found these days is with autoimmune diseases that cause the body to turn against its own organs. Suchlike diseases are, for instance, polyarthritis, colitis ulcerative, MS, and probably also prostatitis. Furthermore, this applies to the formerly rare autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto-thyroiditis), which is currently the fastest growing disease within the US. Unfortunately, it is frequently believed that the cause for those diseases is unknown. However, we do know that all those conditions are based upon various partial causes, which – in combination – actually release the respective disease. Usually, those partial causes are not even sought to be identified. Bacteria, featuring characteristics modified by antibiotic therapies (freed from cell walls), chronic virus infections, heavy metal contamination, lacks in trace elements supply, disorders of the intestinal flora, which is supposed to ensure the immune system’s proper responsiveness... It could, for instance, be shown that Lyme disease will not enter into severe stages, unless the respective patient suffers from heavy metal contaminations. It has also been shown that polyarthritis is virtually always accompanied by chronic, insidious bacterial infections and once this has been treated with our haptens and the organism’s de- 1 acidification, the «undefined» disease’s course improves significantly. Or did you know that fibromyalgia, which has become such a frequently occurring, yet in orthodox medicine barely ever treated disease – can often be attributed to slow-viruses and/or toxic side effects of medication (mostly of cholesterol lowering remedies)? Paracelsus Klinik Lustmühle provides facilities to test and examine our patients for all those partial causes – and thus allows for initiating targeted and promising treatments. We are thus best prepared for the treatment of «undefined» and chronic diseases. Our approach to their determination and treatment is a different one – it is literally bio-logical. With kind regards Yours, Thomas Rau MD Medical Director of Paracelsus Klinik Lustmühle Fatty Acids Fatty acids are amongst the components of life. Even though they had not been distinguished at all before the last century’s end, they are vital and astonishing in their multitude of functions. While saturated fatty acids support the cell membrane’s stability, the unsaturated fatty acids’ vibrant energy provides the membranes with flexibility and power. The ion channels open and close by the force of vibration, hormones are wrapped up in packages consisting of fatty acids (actually phospholipids), and the cells deploy their individual cellto-cell hormone system to communicate with transmitters responsible for temperature, blood pressure, inflammatory and immune responses. Since they are of such vital importance, it is medically sensible to control the blood composition with respect to essential fatty acids. This serves for early identification of malnutrition and allows taking for respective corrective measures. And also a flavor may provide valuable information on the question whether or not specific oils are needed – fish oil does not necessarily have to taste as train-oiled as expected. Give it a try! An article by Dr. Renate Liu, Medical Practitioner 2 Dental Hygiene at Paracelsus Klinik Fundamental for a healthy oral cavity as an entrance to our body, are healthy teeth in a healthy periodontium (bone and gum). Their afflictions – mostly caries, gum bleeding, and bone atrophy – cannot be regarded from an isolated point of view, as they interrelate with the overall organism. They might be both, cause as well as symptom of systemic diseases, and thus constitute a health risk. Apart from factors such as insufficient oral hygiene, the type of present bacteria and existing dental calculus, or a genetic disposition, people who suffer from a weak immune system, malnutrition (overacidification), stress, heavy metal contaminations, or who are smokers, bear a significantly increased risk of experiencing periodontitis and caries, compared to healthy people. Our Dental Clinic focuses on providing holistic information, instructions, and practice in order to maintain the oral cavity’s health in congenial cooperation with our patients. Being essential, regular dental hygienic treatments are performed - in accordance with individual requirements – every 3 to 12 months. Among others, we additionally offer the following local therapies: comprehensive mucous check for caries and periodontal diseases holistic information and therapy planning individual oral hygiene schedule and respective instructions (natural products only) nutritional advice professional tooth cleaning; removal of all hard and soft dental plaques and stains special periodontal diseases treatment and ozone therapy treatment of sensitive tooth necks In order to achieve the aspired success of treatment, additional therapies, also offered within the scope of our complementary (dental) medicine, will be required. These include: lesion remediation heavy metal decontamination and detoxification intestinal restoration vital substance therapy An article by Anne-Marie Goes Gschwend and Kathleen Muto Dental Hygienists 3 Macula Degeneration Humans are visual beings «I believe what I see.»; amongst all our senses, sight is the one of most significance for men. Approx. 10-20 % of all persons aged above 65 years suffer from Agerelated Macula Degeneration (AMD). The dry AMD, the most frequent form of this condition’s appearance (apart from the humid one), is caused by a distorted balance in the metabolic processes of nutrient provision and discharge of the retinal pigment epithelium’s end products. The retina’s excessive oxygen consumption makes it extremely vulnerable. Even under normal conditions, the retina is permanently at the edge of its capacities, as the number of its blood vessels is limited. The result is its high proneness to oxidative stress. That means a disproportion between radical products and radical defense will evolve. In its course, the free number of free radicals (from internally: e.g. oxygen radicals, or from externally: e.g. pollutants, physical or psychic stress) increases, while the amount of antioxidants (vitamin C, Q10) decreases. The intensity of the retinal pigment epithelium’s cell aging is determined by the increased formation of non-decomposable lipofuscin. A holistic therapy should urgently apply highly effective antioxidants (e.g. vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and Q10) and trace elements (including zinc and copper). Q10 serves to stabilize the cell’s energy supply. Zinc has antioxidant properties, and is contained in 200 essential enzymes. Selenium serves as protection from oxygen radicals. Both the Paracelsus Klinik and the Clinica al Ronc have also had positive experiences in the treatment of macula degeneration by deploying intravenous ozone therapies. Clinica al Ronc additionally offers UVB (ultraviolet blood irradiation) as treatment of this syndrome.

Like proteins and carbohydrates, fats are components, which are vital for our organism - we can’t live without them. Therefore, we must consume fat! Fats are water-insoluble. This is, for instance, the reason why we find 4 globules of grease floating on the soup. To remove grease spots, soap or alcohol is required. The solubility of fats is also crucial for our organism. The respective property strongly depends on the fat’s chemical compound. We must therefore differentiate between fats and fatty acids. The term “fat“” usually describes triglycerides or cholesterol. However, either of them is usually not only found in our foods, but also within our bodies. The simple triglyceride structure consists of one glycerol molecule, which three fatty acids adhere to. Simply imagine the structural formula of triglyceride as a capitalized letter E. Glycerol forms its vertical spine, while the horizontal lines symbolize the fatty acids. This structure applies to both, animal as well as vegetable fats. It is also possible that, instead of three fatty acids, there are only two fatty acids and one phosphor group adhering to the glycerol. This variant is known as phospholipids. Phospholipids serve to fulfill specific functions in our cell membranes and brains. Initially in the event of fat digestion, which mainly takes place in our small intestines, fatty acids and glycerol are separated from each other. Every once in a while, one or two fatty acids may remain adherent to the glycerol. In such cases, we speak of mono- or diglycerides. Fatty acids are burnt, deployed for special functions, or stored. Except for two essential fatty acids, our body is capable of producing all of them. The two fatty acids our bodies cannot produce are called linoleic acid and linolenic acid. These polyunsaturated fats must be consumed with our food and are therefore essential. Fats that our bodies are capable of producing are considered nonessential fatty acids. Yours, Sonja Bacus, Nutritionist Reading recommendation For all those interested in more detailed information on fats, I would like to recommend the following book (written in German Language): Fett! by Ulrike Gonder (ISBN 978-3-7776-1674-2) An entertaining and informative book on fats. If preferred, you may also order the book (price: approx. CHF 30.-) via our pharmacy: [email protected] Maxim of the Month What we know has the size of a drop of oil.
