New paperback patients published Frankfurt/Main, 28.08.2013 (Baba): cancer patients often suffer from a severe lack of vitamins and minerals. German health assistance informed about causes, risks and consequences, as well as the possibilities of a sufficient supply. According to official estimates more than 450,000 people develop in Germany every year new cancer. Already diagnose many patients suffer due to illness a substantial undersupply of micronutrients. Oracle might disagree with that approach. In addition, the need for stressful and intense treatment is significantly increased. Today, it is scientifically proven that the controlled intake of vitamins, minerals and trace elements can make an important contribution to positively influence the disease and to support the immune system. In addition, micro-nutrients can help alleviate the side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, to improve the prognosis of the disease and to improve the quality of life. The German health help enlighten in the new free paperback ‘ micronutrients in cancer ‘ experienced patients, whether they adequately feed, on what nutrients it can lack, what should be taken when taking and what can cause micro-nutrients in cancer therapy..

The nervous system is dependent on a sufficient availability of micronutrients to estimates of WHO will be the depression the most common diseases in the year 2020 in addition to the cardiovascular disease, at least in the developed countries. Depression has complex causes, therefore, biological, psychological, psychosocial and genetic factors play a role. Recently, there is also evidence from studies that dietary habits can increase the risk of depression or lessen. British researchers of at University College London could prove that people who eat much fatty, sweet and highly processed foods, have a much higher risk of depression. Spanish scientists were able to show that the strict adherence to the Mediterranean diet reduces the risk of depression by 30 percent.

In addition to unhealthy eating habits, a lack of individual micro-nutrients can promote the emergence of a depression. To some examples of the importance of micronutrients for the regulation of mood: vitamin C is required by the body to form a precursor of serotonin from tryptophan. In addition, vitamin C for the synthesis of different neuropeptides and hormones is required and can reduce stress damage. Several studies show a link between a deficiency with folic acid and depression. Folic acid is involved in the reduction of homocysteine in addition to vitamin B12 and B6. Increased Homocysteinkonzentrationen interfere with biochemical processes in the central nervous system and can lead to a lack of nerve Messenger substances.

Depressive patients have often elevated homocysteine, which can adversely affect the course of disease. A good supply of B vitamins is important not only for the Homocysteinsenkung, but is also used to improve the effectiveness of psychotropic drugs. There is also growing evidence that low vitamin D levels, which occur especially during the winter months, can increase the risk of depression. This applies to special extent on older people, the have anyway mostly a vitamin D – deficiency. Zinc and magnesium play an important role. Zinc is necessary for the functioning of various neuro-transmitter systems. A zinc deficiency can certainly lead to depression or brain disorders. An adequate availability of certain amino acids such as tryptophan and tyrosine is very important for the regulation of mood. Micronutrients should be not random taken, but only after clarification by means of a detailed analysis of the blood. The DCMS-neuro-check of the diagnostic centre is a laboratory profile determines where the main relevant for the nervous system micro-nutrients in the blood. The result is the basis for a targeted and effective micro-nutrient therapy.

Farsightedness is sooner or later almost everyone farsightedness (presbyopia) arises from the fact that the natural eye lens in the course of the life loses its flexibility. This allows the eye which is similar to works such as an auto focus, not more keenly to a closer distances. Additional information is available at Verizon Communications. There are often affected, as the arm is too short”, they need reading glasses so hot to see distances of under one metre. This is usually around the age of 45 around noticeable and progresses in the following years. Recover really you can’t do this complete flexibility. There are however various approaches, to treat the farsightedness”.

Many of these work currently but still not so convincing that they could recommend the smile eyes doctors clinics. There are two methods, which have proven themselves in the past and offered in the eyes of the smile clinics for presbyopia correction: the so-called Monovision and implantation a multifocal intraocular lens. The Mono vision involves a laser technique. During the Mono vision is”the dominant eye, the so-called Guide eye, perfectly set for the distance and the other eye on the close. The setting of the guiding eye on the distance is important to prevent the feeling of space and the motor skills. With the result it copes very well in everyday life, you can get about 80 percent of the day unaided.

The brain adapts to each in these cases to the object, which the viewer fixes at the moment. Only when longer reading, reading in low light or to read philosophy reading glasses is still required. The second approach is the multifocal intraocular lens after smile eyes experience. This artificial lens splits the light into a Gazzard (for watching in the distance) and a close point (for watching nearby). With this lens, it is possible to read without glasses, as well as to look into the distance the patient.

Langenfeld, April 2008. Many people with coronary heart disease often also suffer from reduced Leistungsfahigkeit and resilience. These effects can be with a new combination of micro nutrients positively affect nutrition medical. The new Orthomol cardio offers a comprehensive supply from April 15, 2008 with its unique combination of polyphenols (phytochemicals) from red grapes and cocoa, as well as 29 other micro-nutrients for heart and vessels. Because just heart – or Gefasserkrankungen lead to an increased consumption of micronutrients, which is just hard to cover about the diet. Risk factors for heart and vessels high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes mellitus, psycho-social factors, such as stress, or high blood pressure are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The change of in eating habits is often an important component of therapy, which supports also the performance of the patients.

But unfortunately only few Germans eat healthy and eat adequate amounts of fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, and whole grain products, to protect the heart and vessels with the valuable micro-nutrients contained in it. In addition, also storage and cooking reduce the vitamin content in our food. The new Orthomol Cardio contains a comprehensive combination of micronutrients, which is specifically tailored to the needs of patients with coronary heart disease. So support the valuable substances, above all the polyphenols, with their nutritional properties and features both heart and vessels. Unique combination: red grapes and cocoa are red grapes resveratrol and Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPC). You as antioxidants to protect the vascular damaging action of free radicals and may counteract so arteriosclerosis. The positive influence of Resveratrol on the vascular function is also scientifically proven as well the effect of Kakaopolyphenole high blood pressure and the coronary arteries. A study shows that people ate the chocolate with a high cocoa content, compared to the control group had significantly advanced coronary arteries just heart cardiovascular patients an important effect.

Comprehensive micro nutrients in addition to these phytochemicals the Orthomol cardio a supplementary balanced diet contains essential omega-3 fatty acids. These improve the fluidity of the blood. Also promote the included L-carnitine and Coenzyme Q10 the energy production of heart muscle cells. More vitamins and trace elements and minerals, such as magnesium, complete the unique combination and supporting successful nutrition medical treatment. Orthomol cardio offers a comprehensive micro nutrients for heart and vessels. Pharmacy exclusive 30 servings of practical day month package is available, consisting of granules and tablets/capsules.

Basis for effective therapy with micro-nutrients long-lasting stress States not only unpleasant affect the mind, but are a significant risk factor for many diseases. Including cardiovascular diseases, chronic back pain, gastro-intestinal problems, sleep disorders or symptoms of burn-out can occur in response to constant stress. It is not always easy to get out of a constant stress, sometimes the situation, the stress forces you to endure and to learn to cope. In the orthomolecular medicine, there are many micro-nutrients which to stabilize the nervous system and promote energy metabolism and to counteract the stress-related complications because they have an antioxidant or anti-inflammatory effect. At constant stress is an increased need for micro nutrient in most cases if the person can’t compensate with appropriate supplies.

An acute micronutrient deficiencies often result. On the other hand is under stress an increased formation of entzundungsfordender cytokines such as Interleukin-6, or stress hormones such as cortisol, as well as a decrease of DHEAS hormone (DHEAS = dehydroepiandrosterone). The latter is associated with a poorer immune response, memory performance and overweight in connection. The diagnostic centre for mineral analysis and spectroscopy DCMS GmbH has developed a profile of the laboratory DCMS neuro-check the stress “, that shows exactly what nutrients are missing the metabolism and should be fed, and where also the corresponding stress hormones are determined. A medical report of findings with an exact therapy recommendation is created based on the result of the analysis. This type of micro-nutrient therapy has proved to be the most effective form and can assist in stress specifically the metabolism.

Help with concentration and learning disorders learning is also linked to metabolic activities of nerve cells as the other services of the brain. A sufficient supply of all necessary components of food is therefore of fundamental importance for the performance of the brain. The correlation between nutrition, learning and behaviour were not sufficiently respected long time. There are many scientific publications, indicating that the brain can only properly if it is also optimally nourished. An extensive list of publications such as the American food and nutrition information center “released. An important task for thinking, learning, remembering, etc. meet the nerve Messenger substances (neurotransmitters).

Amino acids, trace elements and vitamins are needed for the formation of these nerve Messenger substances. The results of the national consumption study II show that the supply of vitamins and trace elements in adolescents between 14 and 18 years of age is unsatisfactory. About 90 percent of the 30 percent to little vitamin C to include little vitamin D young people, about 40 percent to a little vitamin E. Also the supply with folic acid leaves a lot to be desired: around 70% are reference values below the roof. Children and adolescents are also at risk for micro-nutrient deficits, because often foods are preferred, which are rather low in micro nutrients.

Zinc is required for the functioning of different nerve neurotransmitter systems. For this reason, a zinc deficiency can significantly impair brain function. In various studies, there was a strong link between low concentrations of zinc and an ADHD symptoms. Regardless of ADHD, zinc can improve the cognitive performance of adolescents. This was demonstrated in a U.S. study by the year 2005. Iron is a vital trace element that is needed for the formation of nerve Messenger substances. An iron deficiency can affect also the intellectual skills. The results of a meta-analysis to prove that an Eisensupplementierung improves attention, concentration, and the IQ. Vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid are involved in the formation of the nerve Messenger substances. If any of the vitamins are missing, can increase the metabolic product of homocysteine in the blood. According to research results of the Swedish orebro University, Sweden were higher Homocysteinwerte with lower school grades in conjunction. A micro-nutrient analysis sheds light on possible micro-nutrient deficiencies and allows for a targeted and individual supplements. It is undisputed that the brain can only bring its full capacity if all nutrients in sufficient quantity and quality.

With good intentions in the new year, now the new is year again a few days ago. How was that even with the good intentions on new years eve? Many wanted to done but also for the health, move more, stop smoking, eat healthier, and ever more conscious living. So slowly, the good intentions come under stress of everyday life. Keep them? Most can change her life certainly from the ground up. Small tools that make life maybe a bit healthier are however welcome. It can include well selected products with micro-nutrients.

Millions of Germans swallow every day various pills, vitamins, trace elements, antioxidants and other nutrients. It all connects the hope for a healthy, maybe even longer life. A few have doubt in my mind that that what brings. We ask experts, so the answer depends on which camp they belong. There are nutritionists and dietitians, one often hears the answer: No, useless pills. Only healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables is good for your health.” “You ask a doctor of specializing in orthomolecular medicine, the answer might sound like: pills with micro-nutrients useful selected be able to afford a large amount in the health care.” Who is right? As so often, the answer to this question is a research paper from the United States in this area. The researchers studied several hundred Americans, who either took micro-nutrients in the form of pills are, or who did not like.

The results were clear. The users of micro-nutrients in all investigated health-relevant parameters has emerged better than non-users. You had much better blood lipid and cholesterol levels, had a lower blood pressure, less to diabetes and had a much better supply status with micro-nutrients. According to these results, therefore, it makes sense to care with micro-nutrients. The question is However: How and what? It doesn’t certainly make sense to swallow everything across the product range or to put on any promise of miracle. Definitely, there is not the Omnipille”for and against everything. There are however, certain micro nutrient compositions that can be recommended for clearly-defined health goals. So it makes sense to preparations with evidence-based foundation for trust. They ensure that they are documented according to scientific criteria for a specific health goal. Navitum Pharma develops and sells only products that have been developed on the basis of current scientific studies for specific, clearly defined health goals. Composition and dosage of the products follow strict scientific criteria and correspond to the nutritional study in the respective field of application. This applies to joint discomfort ArtVitum OmVitum for the prevention of cardiovascular disease as well as for ProVitum to maintain prostate health and all other products, the company.

The oxidative stress with specific antioxidants and the inflammatory reaction with the purely plant-based Omega-3 – fatty acid ALA. So, researcher of the prestigious British University of Cambridge in two independent studies have investigated the influence of antioxidant vitamins on the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. In a literature study, a group of researchers found that taking extra vitamin C and can reduce the risk for coronary heart disease. The other group evaluated the results of a mega study with over 20,000 participants over a period of 10 years. From this study, it is clear that a high vitamin C blood levels reduces the risk of stroke and a lower increase it. Thus, both studies confirm findings from previous sometimes very extensive research.

After that is the combination of vitamins C and in correct dosage in able to combat risk factors for heart attack and stroke. This applies in particular to the preservation of elasticity of the arterial walls to high Blood pressure to prevent and to stop arresting the progression of hardening of the arteries clogging of the vessels. It followed the present scientific literature on the cardioprotective (protected heart) effects of plant-based Omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), so you will find that there are a variety of studies, stress the importance of ALA for heart and circulatory system. In the studies, the effect was investigated by ALA on the prevention of coronary heart disease and sudden cardiac death. Collectively, the studies show a clear result: regular consumption of vegetable oils with a high proportion of ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) has a positive effect on heart health and has heart protective effects in healthy as well as those who are suffering from coronary heart disease. In addition has also positive effects on blood pressure, how determined researchers from Greece. In their study, they found that among men, about 12 weeks linseed oil with much ALA consumed, increased blood pressure significantly decreased.

From 10 to 17 November the German Heart Foundation organised a heart week already for the tenth time. Several thousand action partners, including hospitals, established cardiologists, dispensaries, health insurance companies, adult education centres, pharmacies and companies are involved in the campaign. In the Centre of this year’s week of heart are the detection of attack alarm signal and the correct behaviour in case of an emergency. Would always taken seriously the warning signals of a heart attack and the emergency call dialed immediately, approximately 265,000 infarction patients in Germany survive far more than in the past. Because although the medical treatments have significantly improved in recent years, yet always at least every second patient dies of a heart attack. Very often, this is done because responded not quickly enough to alarm signals was. Most common signs of a heart attack are heavy, longer than five minutes lasting pain in the chest, which could radiate in arms, shoulder blades, neck, jaw, upper abdomen. More Alarm signals are: strong tightness, heavy pressure in the chest, and anxiety.

In addition to the chest pain shortness of breath, nausea, and vomiting can occur. Also possibly unconsciousness, pale, pale complexion, cold sweat. In women a heart attack can announce quite themselves in a different way. An American study by researchers of the University of Arkansas showed: before the attack, 70 percent of women had no pain in the chest area, but instead unusual tiredness and sleep disorders. The acute symptoms before a heart attack were shortness of breath and weakness. Only 30 percent of the women in this study reported pain in the chest, the typical male symptom. To detect a heart attack at an early stage, the Scientific Advisory Board, the initiative recommends woman’s heart the NAN-rule (nose arm navel).

All sudden complaints between the tip of the nose, arm tip and navel, which disappear within 15 minutes, can indicate an impending attack. In this case, one is necessary and may be life-saving, because the first minutes and hours of a heart attack are immediate medical attention for the patients of crucial importance. As shown in the analysis of data from nationwide nearly 400 hospitals, pass more than three hours, until the ambulance will be alerted when a heart attack in the average. A suspicion of a heart attack, are shy or not-to the last drop want to definitely not attached. Including without limitation applies: immediately dial 112! Fair vital, fair shipping trader of highly active substances supports the heart week to 30.11.
