A person can only be healthy, feel well and vital, if all necessary micronutrients – also called vital substances – are available to him in sufficient quantities.
Vital substance medicine – an essential component of nutritional medicine – deals with the diagnosis of vital substance deficiencies and the supply of vital substances* (micronutrients) for prevention, i.e. health care and health maintenance, as well as for the therapy of diseases.
Vital substances in optimal dosage and combination protect the organism from diseases, serve as supportive therapy and help to maintain vitality into old age. * Vital substances include: Vitamins, minerals, trace elements, vital fatty acids and amino acids, secondary plant substances and other vital substances.
An undersupply of vital substances can be caused both by an insufficient supply of vital substances – for example, due to incorrect food preparation, diet, etc. – and by an additional individual vital substance requirement.
An additional individual vital substance surplus requirement can be caused, among other things, by
- Diets – vegetarianism, veganism, raw foodists.
- Irregular eating and frequent skipping of meals.
- Unbalanced eating habits – Intake of high amounts of energy from fat, protein, sugar and alcohol – Low intake of fiber – Disturbed acid-base balance.
- Canteen food – too little fresh fruit and vegetables and milk and dairy products, etc.
- Diets – reduction diet, food combining diet, other diets.
- Fasting cures – total fasting (zero diet), modified fasting, etc.
- Stimulants – such as tobacco, alcohol, coffee, black tea (” The benefits of green tea” ).
- Occupational and emotional stress – double burden of work and household, etc.
- Sleep deprivation
- Competitive sports or heavy physical labor
- Pregnancy and lactation
- Resorption disorders due to food intolerances – fructose, lactose.
- Resorption disorders due to chronic diseases of the digestive system – stomach – gastritis, gastric resection, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome – small intestine – acute and chronic enteritis, gluten-induced enteropathy, radiation enteritis, Crohn’s disease, small bowel resection – colon – ulcerative colitis.
- Long-term drug use
- Malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies in old age – unbalanced and inadequate food intake – decreased enzyme activity – impaired membrane functions and transport processes – absorption disorders.
- Biochemical individuality – genetically determined different equipment, for example, with radical scavenging enzymes, which also means different sensitivity to pollutants – alcohol, smoking, drugs, etc. – and possibly premature aging processes.
The vital substance analysis determines your individual vital substance additional requirements.
The micronutrient therapy supports the body in a natural way and leads him to the vital substances he needs to stay healthy. Diseases are supported by the supply of vital substances accompanying to strengthen the self-healing powers of the body.
