Micronutrients, Nutrition and other traditional Remedies

Healthy eating is more challenging today than ever before. Indu-strially processed foods, depleted soils, and lack of time mean that we may be full, but we are often not getting the nutrition we need. Good nutrition means making conscious choices: fresh, minimally processed foods, sufficient protein, healthy fats, fiber-rich carbo-hydrates, and plenty of vegetables. This should provide the body with the micronutrients it needs for all its functions - ideally!

The body heals itself when it receives the right molecules. Micronutrients are not medications, but substances inherent to the body. They activate enzymes, regulate hormones, and protect cells from oxidation. While macronutrients provide energy, micro-nutrients ensure that all biochemical processes run smoothly. Even small deficiencies can have far-reaching consequences. Ortho-molecular medicine compensates for them in a targeted manner.

Reishi, Shiitake, Cordyceps, and Hericium are more than just food. They belong to Traditional Chinese Medicine and have been used therapeutically for millennia. Vital mushrooms contain polysac-charides, beta-glucans and bioactive substances that modulate the immune system, inhibit inflammation, support liver function. They are valuable for exhaustion, chronic infections or as a support during cancer therapy. The mushrooms of the wise. 

A balanced diet is the foundation. But sometimes, it is not enough. Modern foods contain fewer nutrients than in the past. Depleted soils, long transport routes, industrial processing, storage, and heating destroy vitamins. An apple today no longer has the same nutrient density as an apple 50 years ago. Studies show that the vitamin C content of many types of vegetables has dropped dramatically.

Furthermore, stress increases the need for B vitamins and magnesium. Sports consume minerals and trace elements. Chronic inflammation depletes antioxidants. Medications such as the contraceptive pill or acid blockers inhibit the absorption of vitamins. A vegan diet can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency. Older people absorb nutrients less effectively. Pregnant women have an increased requirement. People with intestinal diseases such as Crohn's disease or celiac disease absorb less. Alcohol and smoking deplete vitamins. The list is long.

Targeted micronutrient therapy fills these gaps. It does not replace a healthy diet, but it supplements it where necessary. This is not about indiscriminate supplementation, but about precise analysis and individual dosage. What your body needs, it receives. What it does not need, we leave out. It is that simple. It is that effective. The difference between a functioning body and an optimally nourished body can be enormous.

In the 19th century, Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Schuessler discovered twelve mineral salts that occur in every cell of the body. His thesis: illness arises when these salts fall into a state of imbalance. These salts are taken in highly diluted form; they act on a cellular level. They help the body to better absorb and utilize minerals. Calcium fluor. strengthens connective tissue. Magnesium phos. relieves cramps. These salts are gentle and low in side effects.

Homeopathy works according to the principle of similarity: like cures like. The remedies are highly diluted and potentiated. They provide the body with a gentle impulse to regulate itself. Arnica for bruises. Pulsatilla for fluctuating complaints. Nux vomica for stress and overwork. I work with basic remedies. The choice is made individually according to your symptoms, your constitution, and your emotional state.

Autonosodes are prepared from the body's own substances: your own blood, urine, or lymph. They contain information about your individual disease patterns. Potentiated as homeopathic remedy, they provide the body with an impulse for self-regulation. For chronic ailments, recurring infections, or stubborn skin problems, autonosodes can bring breakthroughs. They dissolve deep-seated patterns and activate self-healing powers. Your own medicine.

Everything begins with a detailed conversation. We discuss your complaints, your diet, your lifestyle, and possible stressors. Do you sleep poorly? Do you catch colds often? Do you feel exhausted even though you get enough sleep? Do you have cravings for specific foods? All of this provides me with clues. I utilize dark-field microscopy, iris diagnosis, tongue diagnosis, and pulse diagnosis to see how your body functions and reacts. Upon request, laboratory values can also be consulted to precisely identify deficiencies. Vitamin D, vitamin B12, iron, ferritin, magnesium, and zinc are particularly important. These values provide clear indications and show where urgent action is required.

On this basis, I create an individual micronutrient therapy. The nutrients are administered in the form of capsules, powders, or drops. Not only the selection is important, but also the dosage and combination. Some nutrients reinforce each other, while others inhibit absorption. Vitamin C improves iron absorption. Calcium should be taken separately from magnesium. Fat-soluble vitamins require a meal containing fat. I will explain exactly what you should take, when, and how. After four to eight weeks, we will review how you are feeling together. People often notice more energy, better sleep, a more stable mood, and a clearer head after a short time. The body is grateful when it receives what it needs. And you can feel it.

Fatigue that does not go away. Brittle nails, hair loss. Frequent infections, poor wound healing. Concentration problems, inner restlessness. Muscle cramps, nervousness. Skin problems that do not heal. Your body is speaking to you. Often, these signs are ignored or dismissed as normal. Yet, they are indications of missing nutrients. A thorough anamnesis, dark-field microscopy, and, if necessary, laboratory values show where your body needs support. We can then take targeted action.

The quality of dietary supplements varies greatly. Synthetic vita-mins are often less bioavailable than natural ones. Cheap prepa-rations contain fillers, dyes, or unnecessary additives. High-quality products focus on natural raw materials, high purity, and optimal bioavailability. I work with renowned manufacturers such as Arktis, Sunday Natural, or Biogena. These companies guarantee highest standards, freedom from harmful substances, effective dosages. Your body deserves the best and should unfold its full potential.
