Dr. Jentschura Alkaline Foods and Body Care

"A virus keeps the world in suspense. Dr. h.c. Peter Jentschura is certain: We can overcome it with a strong immune system" Interview with Naturalist Dr. h.c. P...eter Jentschura For more than 40 years Peter Jentschura has been researching the human metabolism and diseases of our modern civilization. In addition to precautionary measures against the spread of Covid-19, he primarily advocates strengthening the immune system - with a healthy diet and a good way of life. Question: Mr. Jentschura, what happens in the body when viruses enter? "Mostly nothing at all! How our organism reacts to pathogens and whether your body will let them in at all, is depends on our immune system. With a weak immune system, a virus can invade cells and tissues and affect and damage organs or can even be fatal. The results of the German "Heinsberg Study" by Prof. Dr. Streeck and Prof. Dr. Hartmann calculate a Covid-19 infection-mortality rate of 0.37 percent - taking into account all infected people on site, because in the cities of Heinsberg and Gangelt were only people tested with symptoms. And according to the Robert Koch Institute, around 80 percent of the Covid19 infected people have mild to moderate symptoms. These people have a strong immune system." Question: How can we strengthen the immune system? "First of all, it is very beneficial to not weaken our own immune system. Today's 'normal', so-called Western diet with a lot of sugar, white flour products with "empty calories", preservatives, unhealthy fats with too much omega-6 fatty acids, animal products from conventional factory farming, too much coffee, soft and energy drinks and plenty of luxury foods like chocolate, is low in vital substances, acidic, promote inflammatory processes and weakens the power of our immune system. The immune system needs a plant-based diet and real foods with a high nutrient density. High-quality vegetables, fruits, and herbs that are rich in vital substances and excessively alkaline generating diversity and plant power: easily absorbable vitamins, minerals, secondary plant substances, and dietary fiber that we essentially need for a strong immune system. In addition, daily exercise even in stormy cold weather, hot/cold showers and saunas, regular exercise, relaxation, restful sleep, and alkaline full and foot baths help to balance our metabolism and strengthen our natural defenses. Fasting has also been shown to strengthen the immune system and to relieve the intestinal system in which around 80 percent of our immune cells exist. To strengthen the immune defense it is also indicated to have your omega-3 and vitamin D status checked and optimized. We should learn from this crisis that we need to take on more personal responsibility for our health" Q.: Your do research the human acid-base balance. What role does this play? "A crucial one! Because essential defense processes of our immune system are depending on acids and alkalines as well as the acid-alkaline balance. Our first protective wall against pathogens are microorganisms, especially good bacteria on our skin and on our mucous membranes. If we offer these important bacteria optimal living conditions providing them with an optimal pH range, they colonize our skins so densely that there is no place for disease-causing germs. Dr. Antoine Béchamp, the intellectual opponent to famous researcher Louis Pasteur declared: The pathogen is nothing! The milieu is everything!" And everybody can regulate this milieu via an intact acid-base balance! Via your diet and personal hygiene! The so-called phagocytes of the immune system work optimally in a good acid-alkaline balance." Questions: There are also foods with antiviral effects? "Yes, sure! Flora offers us a variety of immune-modulating and cell-protecting substances. For a good immune system, we need e.g. Vitamin C found in peppers, broccoli, cabbage, oranges, sea buckthorn, rose hips, etc. Zinc is found in buckwheat, flaxseed, and legumes. Berries are rich in anti-inflammatory, even anti-carcinogenic, and immune-boosting secondary plant substances. The virus doesn't stand a chance against our various defense systems when we strengthen the immune system with essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, and alkaline-forming minerals. Herbal medicine provides also antiviral treasures such as licorice root, thyme, lemon balm, sage, and elderflower. Spices and herbs such as garlic, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, oregano, and thyme benefit our immune systems. In addition, our body does enjoy clear, pure water. We also know Propolis from Apitherapy. It is the disinfectant of bees in the beehive, which they obtain from flower buds. We humans can gargle with Propolis tincture and enjoy its virucidal powers. Question: Of course, don't we have to take precautions against the dangerous Covid19 virus? "Precautionary measures aimed at containing the spread of Covid-19 are currently widely discussed and recommended and arranged. But only the virus can penetrate and cause damage where it encounters a weak immune system. Therefore it is particularly important for us to support a strong immune system. This also includes positive thoughts of confidence, gratitude, and love as our mental power sources. Also, we should pay more attention to good digestion. Mindful eating, proper chewing and, if necessary, high-quality probiotics can support our gut microbiome. A healthy bowel is good and enormously important for your functioning immune defense and also for our inner balance and for our psyche, as research on the intestinal-brain axis has shown. We shouldn't make the conceptual mistake, to generally regard viruses as "pathogens" that must be combated. But we should rather perceive them as symbionts who clean up the organism. And we should perceive the unpleasant consequences of this cleanup as a warning sign delivering this invitation: Keep our cells and organs clean so our organism and immune system will be strong in the future. What are your wishes for the pandemic year 2020? I wish we would listen to our own body signals and learn to see people holistically. This would bring us a new understanding of our diseases which put an enormous strain on our health systems. My deeper heart's desire would be to make the general public aware of the importance of a healthy nutrition, for example as a subject in school, in kindergarten, or in the form of courses for employees, etc. We should stop weakening our organism with the lifelong consumption of 'so tasty' luxury foods, which weaken the pH balance of our body fluids, tissues and thereby weaken our immune system. We should also shift out of the exaggerated hyper-hygiene and from combating "pathogens" to skillfully strengthening our powerful immune system. Unfortunately, many people care for their cars and animals better than their own bodies." THE MAN AND HIS WORK Dr. H. c.

More information at www.p-jentschura.ca Nutrition tips Vitamins, trace elements, minerals, and secondary plant substances are alkalizing agents that our body needs to maintain the alkalinity of our blood, lymph, and cellular fluid. Healthy, alkaline, free-flowing blood is the basis for our white blood cells’ intact defenses. 1. Every day, drink 1 2 liters of non-carbonated water, herbal teas, vegetable juice spritzers. 2. Start off the morning with a big glass of non-carbonated water. 3. Enjoy plenty of high-quality vegetables (peppers, cabbage, broccoli, red beets, etc.), salad greens, herbs and fruits (such as berries). 4. Put bright colors on your plate: Yellow, orange, red and dark green vegetables, and fruit are rich in proven vitamins (vitamin C), minerals (zinc), and secondary plant substances (beta carotene, among others). 5. Bee pollen, the power food for young bees, for example, contained in the 100-plant fine granules of WurzelKraft /AlkaLife. 3 6 teaspoons every day provide us with a unique, alkaline excessive spectrum of effects of vital substances with optimum bioavailability. 6. Use spices such as garlic, ginger, and turmeric. 7. Fatty, high-quality fish (herring, salmon, mackerel) and natural fish or vegan algae oil: The omega-3 fatty acids they contain EPA* and DHA** have an immune-strengthening, anti-inflammatory effect. 8. Essential amino acids from gluten-free plants, such as amaranth, quinoa, buckwheat, millet, and legumes such as peas, beans, lentils, as well as hemp and lupines: High-quality plant protein minimizes the acid load which is caused in particular by animal-based foods, such as pork. 9. Probiotics to strengthen bowel function. Various special probiotic bacteria is proven to have a positive influence on the intestinal microbiota and is particularly important during and after antibiotic therapy. 10. Dietary fiber (at least 30 g per day) supports our digestion and nourishes the helpful intestinal bacteria of our microbiota. 11. Fasting strengthens the immune defenses and relieves the strain on the intestines. A good start is the proven intermittent fasting method.

Effect of your pH-level on Coronavirus activity scientifically proven! While the corona pandemic poses extraordinary challenges to people and health systems wor...ldwide, and scientific research is making every effort to rapidly develop effective medicines and a vaccine, there seems to be at least appropriate prophylaxis. If the acid-base balance is in an alkaline environment, the metabolism has good preconditions to ward off infection with the coronavirus and the disease of Covid-19. This is the conclusion of Prof. Dr. Jürgen Vormann from IPEV (Institute for Prevention and Nutrition, Ismaning, Germany), in a current overview. The conclusion: the avoidance of acidosis influences coronavirus activity. An alkaline pH value inhibits both infection and virus replication. Infection with the SARS CoV-2 virus can be particularly damaging to the lungs and can be fatal. There is still no pathogen profile, many questions about transmission, illness, and treatment options are open. However, it is known that not everyone is infected and that about 80 percent of those infected with Covid-19 either go unnoticed or have only mild symptoms. Prof. Jürgen Vormann looked into the question of what influence the immune system has on the process of infection and disease. Prof. Vormann: In general, the immune system is able to recognize and eliminate all kinds of viruses. In western countries, many people have nutritional acid exposure. We know that the high acid load weakens the immune system. The question was: Can a change in the acid-base status affect the immune response to coronaviruses? The answer is yes. Recently published studies indicate that the avoidance of acidosis also has a positive effect on the corona process.1 To infect a cell, components of the virus membrane must fuse with the membrane of the host cell. This process is significantly influenced by the surrounding acid concentration. An acidic pH facilitates this process, while a basic pH has an inhibiting effect. The intracellular reproduction of the coronavirus also depends on the prevailing milieu. If the pH is raised from the acidic to the alkaline range, the coronavirus is irreversibly inactivated and only survives for minutes 2. This was confirmed in studies on COVID 19 patients from Wuhan. On the one hand, it was shown that many patients had massive metabolic acidosis as well as intracellular acidosis3,4,5. Another cohort study from China found that 30 percent of those who later died had acidosis; however, only 1 percent of those recovered had such acidosis6. The effects of the Covid-19 drug Hydroxychloroquine currently under discussion also target acidosis; the drug prevents intracellular acidification and thereby inhibits virus multiplication. However, due to the high side effects, hydroxychloroquine is not without problems Prof. Vormann: "The new findings lead to the conclusion that base substitution is both preventive and useful for COVID 19 patients." It can be concluded from these confirmed research results that a basic pH value improves the immune system and reduces both the risk of infection and the intracellular multiplication of the coronavirus. Acidification could also be an explanation for the fact that predominantly older or immunosuppressed people get Covid-19. Many people have a disturbed acid-base balance, most of them unwittingly. While the metabolism copes well with the excess acid at a young age, symptoms such as weakness in the drive, rapid fatigue, loss of appetite, muscle and joint problems, or skin problems often appear in the second half of life. Acidification strains the immune system. The net acid excretion and thus the pH of the metabolism can only be reliably determined by a test in a specialist laboratory. On the other hand, it is easy to influence the acid-base balance directly through the diet. At least half of the daily food should be alkaline, i.e. consist of fruits, vegetables, and salad. Many dishes that are perceived as sour provide plenty of alkaline minerals and are therefore among the alkaline formers. B. lemons, grapes, and apples or vinegar. Acid generators such as sausage, meat, fish, cereals, and milk products should be reduced. For the sake of health, an alkaline diet is good advice. In times of Corona, this applies more than ever.

Information about Prof. Vormann: Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Jürgen Vormann, born in 1953, did alkaline medical research at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry at the Free University of Berlin for several years after studying nutritional science. He is the founder and director of the Institute for Prevention and Nutrition (IPEV) in Ismaning near Munich. His main research areas are biochemistry and pathophysiology of minerals, trace elements, and vitamins as well as the acid-base balance. 1 Mir et al.
