Annotation
This book proceeds from deficiency symptoms and presents a “therapy list”. The diseases caused by nutrient deficiencies are described in alphabetical order; missing substances are examined as potential reason for indisposition, and specific applications are suggested. In this manner the medical layperson can give thought to which substances should be made available to the body in order to restore health. The list ranges from “acne” and “allergy” to “weight reduction”.
“Treating Disorders in a Natural Manner” is part of a quartet of books, each of which can be read independently and stands for its own.{1} As a whole, the four volumes have the goal of explaining the connection between nutrient deficiencies and disease. They offer practical hints for treating specific deficiency disorders by administering appropriate vital substances.
The other volumes:
“The Healing Power of Plants” presents the healing plants from A to Z. The most important vegetal and animal extracts are introduced whose highly remedial protective substances are of major importance, both in their pharmaceutical application and in the field of food supplements. The attention which natural sciences pay to so-called “phytochemistry” and “vegetal chemicals” is indicative of the tremendous significance of the healing power of plants, which due to their specific compositions and structures contain an outstanding chemically effective potential. The list includes indigenous medicinal plants such as bearberry, fennel seeds and parsley, as well as vegetal remedies of other folk medicines, e.g. Asian ginseng root, African yohimbine bark or Peruvian cat’s claw creeper. Special focus will be placed on the following questions: What ingredients are contained in these plants? What is their efficacy?
“Basic Knowledge of Health and Nutrition” conveys a general survey of metabolic processes and gives answers to fundamental questions: How does the body provide vital elements even to the smallest cell? How do nutrients get into the blood stream? How does the body make nutrients available? What is health?
Finally, you will find a description of the basic components of nutrition: proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants and roughage.
“The Components of Life” presents detailed information about all vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids, essential fatty acids and other lipids as well as enzymes and what they do in your body. What is their effect on specific locations in the organism? Which nutrients are contained in our various foodstuffs? What are the risks of insufficient nutrient provision? You will probably know that magnesium is an anti-stress mineral and that potassium is good for your heart, but do you also know that the amino acid methionine supports liver detoxification or that molybdenum keeps your kidneys in good health?
In 1968, the American Nobel prizewinner and vitamin researcher Linus Pauling coined the term “orthomolecular medicine”. This treatment with natural remedies has attained increasing importance in the field of medicine and the thinking of people in general ever since. The Greek-Latin term “orthomolecular” could be translated as “right molecules”. Pauling defines the concept as follows: “Orthomolecular medicine refers to maintaining good health and treating disorders by changing the concentration of those substances in the human body which normally exist there and are indispensable for health.”
According to this concept, optimal health can be achieved by providing the body with the right molecules in appropriate concentrations. At issue are all those substances that the body extracts from food through the gastro-intestinal tract and breaks down into their basic ingredients during the metabolic processes:
The orthomolecular approach proceeds from the assumption that numerous diseases have their origin in a deficiency or an imbalance of the previously mentioned substances. If they are identified and if the body is provided with all the necessary nutrients, the indisposition and/or disorder can be overcome.
It is not coincidental that this therapeutic branch developed in the U.S.A. in the second half of the 20th century, when the mass production of food resulted in a tremendous loss in nutrients. It is not by chance that a part of the American population rank among those members of the species who display the greatest food deficiencies. The so-called “civilization diseases”, which especially affect a considerable number of young people, constitute a huge economic problem in the U.S.A. today, not to mention the suffering of the affected individuals.
Here now follows an alphabetical list of disorders and diseases which have their origin in deficiency conditions or can be treated effectively by certain natural substances such as vitamins, vegetal agents, enzymes, minerals, etc. You will find a brief description of the disease as well as recommended substances which are likely to provide relief. To obtain detailed information about these active ingredients please refer to parts 1 and 2 of this book.
Warning
At this point we again want to emphasize that the treatment of diseases requires medical training and experience. The layperson should in any case consult a physician or homeopath before initiating therapy. Under certain conditions even the ingestion of vitamins may be unfavourable; therefore any treatment should be examined by a medical expert.
Acne is a skin inflammation, which primarily affects young people. The sebaceous glands clog up; inflammatory pimples develop and frequently leave life-long scars. The causes of acne have not been clarified to a satisfactory degree. Various factors may play a role in the genesis of this unpleasant skin condition: fatty skin, hormones, food incompatibility, stress and an unhealthy diet.
What to do?
Case study:
Markus G.: I had tried to treat my severe acne with various skin cleansers, which naturally did not accomplish much. I recorded an improvement only when I started a yucca cure to regenerate my strained intestines, ingested zinc preparations and cleansed my inflamed skin with a solution of chamomile tea and tea tree oil in the morning and at night. I added three drops of tea tree oil to half a glass of chamomile tea and used a fresh linen cloth to cautiously apply this mixture to the affected spots on my face and neck.
