Modifying the immune system in a complex way Micronutrients have the task of responding specifically to attacks by pathogens.

They shield our immune system by working in synergy. Thus, the interaction of the individual elements contained in a nutrient composition is a decisive factor. The interaction of micronutrients is very complex.

For the human body to derive optimum benefit from micronutrients, a powerful combination of vitamins, minerals, and secondary plant compounds is required.

In the human organism, micronutrients target the relevant germ or the focus of inflammation. Viruses and bacteria thus encounter a potent natural enemy. Antioxidants neutralize the chronic stress that triggers inflammation and block the infectious invaders.

Numerous in vivo, in vitro and clinical studies have demonstrated positive effects of these special micronutrient formulations.

A finely judged combination of micronutrients ensures a significant cellular immune response.

Cell protector vitamin C Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) tops the list of health supporters. It mobilizes our immune cells and, since the human body cannot produce this essential micronutrient by itself, a sufficient intake through the diet or dietary supplements is required to stabilize the organism’s defenses. Vitamin C activates collagen production in epithelial tissues, which act as barriers against infections.

It promotes healthy cell growth and stimulates blood circulation and cell cleansing. Vitamin C also modulates cytokine production and reduces histamine status.

Meta-analyses have shown that vitamin C intake of at least 200 mg/day can reduce the risk of respiratory infections. In acute respiratory infections, a higher vitamin C dosage is required.

The problem of vitamin E deficiency Vitamin E deficiency can result in a suppressed or reduced immune response. Older people have an increased need for vitamin E in order to keep the defenses up and running and ensure that the cellular immune response is at a good level. Vitamin E blocks prostaglandin E2, which has immunosuppressive activity, while zinc promotes intact skin and mucosal cells. Macrophages need zinc to boost the body’s natural cell cleansing and regeneration (autophagy).

The radical scavenger vitamin C can convert oxidized vitamin E back into its biologically active form. The interaction of zinc, vitamin C and iron slows down virus replication.

Vitamin C and vitamin B12 favorably influence the production of T cells. A weakened immune system may also be an indication of selenium deficiency. Optimizing selenium status to a dose of 200 µg per day stimulates the immune response of T cells. A combination of vitamins B6 and B12 plus folate and ginger boosts the body’s defenses and strengthens the intestinal flora. A composition of vitamins B6, B12, C, and E, folate and zinc activates killer cells that destroy viruses, bacteria and toxic substances.

Secondary plant substances: the primary health significance Secondary plant compounds also have immune-enhancing properties and are involved in the elimination of harmful microorganisms. Flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and terpenoids (aromatic agents) have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. They can be found in high concentrations in some of the following foods:

• Berries (flavonoids)

• Green tea (tannins)

• Apples (flavonoids)

• Cereals (tannins)

• Red cabbage (flavonoids)

• Legumes (tannins)

• Peppers (flavonoids)

• Citrus fruits (terpenoids)

• Potatoes (alkaloids)

• Mango (terpenoids)

• Tomatoes (alkaloids & anthocyanins)

• Bay leaf (terpenoids)

• Coffee (alkaloids)

• Thyme (terpenoids) • Sage (terpenoids)

A deficient or unbalanced diet leads to micronutrient losses. If the intake of micronutrients is reduced owing to malnutrition or an increased demand, the immune system can be significantly impaired, as is the case in acute or chronic illnesses. Long-term cellular nutrient deficiencies are associated with an increased risk of infection.

A supplementary intake of essential micronutrients supports and promotes the health of at-risk groups. However, an optimal composition and dosage of the individual substances is important to obtain full advantage of their interactions.

A closer look at plant extracts Scientists at the Dr. Rath Research Institute examined several plant extracts – some individually, others in the form of a micronutrient mixture. The results showed that brown algae, known for their numerous immunomodulatory properties, mobilize the body’s defense.

• Sour cherries are anti-inflammatory and a reliable source of polyphenols and vitamin C.

• Lychees provides high levels of antioxidants, including ascorbic acid, flavonoids and anthocyanins.

• White mulberries contain a wealth of immunomodulating phytonutrients and have a balancing effect on blood sugar levels and a stimulating effect on fat metabolism.

• Chokeberries have three times the antioxidant potential of blueberries – their anthocyanin content is even more than four times higher.

• Fucoidan (e.g., in brown algae extract) stimulates natural killer cells, macrophages (phagocytes) and cytokines.

Older or sick people, as well as patients who regularly take medications, often suffer from micronutrient deficiencies. An adequate micronutrient supply cannot be achieved through diet alone. Therefore, improving micronutrient levels is advisable to prevent a reduced immune system function and, as a result, an increased susceptibility to infections. Specific combinations of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and plant compounds can block viruses. An intact connective tissue is a reliable barrier against pathogenic microorganisms.

A micronutrient composition comprising all the relevant substances significantly stimulated phagocytosis, i.e., the uptake of food particles by the cells. Vitamin C, which was added to the mixture, played a decisive role in this process. The activity of natural killer and phagocytic cells was increased by 30– 80%. Cellular waste products, viral antigens, bacteria and degenerated or damaged cells were eliminated with the help of the antiinflammatory substances.

The study results suggest that a synergistic combination of specific natural compounds has an extensive effect on various aspects of immune cell activity. The finely judged formulation was found to be more efficient than its individual components. Its synergistic effect included a simultaneous beneficial impact on multiple metabolic imbalances.

To sum up: a carefully balanced composition of vitamins, minerals, and selected plant components is effective in maintaining the organism‘s health.

What is Cellular Medicine?

The fundamental principle of Cellular Medicine relates to the smallest unit in the human body, the cell. Health and disease are determined at the level of the billions of cells which make up our bodies and not, as previously assumed, at the level of organs. Cells are the smallest and most important units in the body. They make up the organs and require a constant supply of specific bio-energetic nutrients to perform a huge number of biochemical reactions. Chronic deficiencies of one or more of these cellular nutrients leads to cellular malfunctioning and disease. Because of this, providing the cells with an optimum daily supply of vitamins and other essential nutrients is the key to the successful prevention of and defense against deficiency symptoms.

What are cellular nutrients?

The human body is composed of billions of cells which need a constant supply of biological catalysts for many different biochemical reactions. From the scientific standpoint of Cellular Medicine, these substances are considered together under the umbrella term ‘cellular nutrients’, a phrase which embraces vitamins, minerals, trace elements, certain amino acids, biologically active plant substances (phytobiologicals) and other micronutrients important for normal metabolism. When available in the right quantities and proportions, they make a major contribution to the healthy functioning of our cells and thus of our bodies.

The research breakthrough documented in Part 1 of this book provides the scientific basis for ‘Victory Over Cancer’.

However,

• without answering the question of why this breakthrough took so long, • without understanding the economic forces thriving on the cancer epidemic, • without exposing their dark history and • without drawing the necessary conclusions from these ‘lessons of history’ – victory over cancer will not be possible.
