Cellular Health Depends onCellular Bioenergy

Life depends on a constant supply of four main elements: air(oxygen), water, macronutrients (proteins, fats and carbohy-drates) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, certain aminoacids and trace elements).

There is a distinct characteristic that sets micronutrients apartfrom air, water and food: a lack of micronutrients does not giveany early alarm signs. Oxygen deficiency, for example, leads

within minutes to the alarm suffocation. Water deficiencysalarm sign is thirst. Lack of food causes hunger.

In contrast, a deficiency of vitamins and other essential nutri-ents, the carriers of cellular bioenergy, do not give any alarmsigns in the body. The first sign of micronutrient deficiency isthe outbreak of a disease. A total depletion of vitamins, such asthat in scurvy, leads to death within months. Since we all getsmall amounts of vitamins and other essential nutrients, we

generally do not suffer from a total depletion.

Most of us, however, suffer from a chronic deficiency of vita-mins and other essential nutrients over many years anddecades. This long-term deficiency of cellular bioenergy is theprecondition for the development of chronic diseases, such asatherosclerosis, heart failure, diabetic circulatory problemsand other health conditions described in this book. The firstsign of chronic micronutrient deficiency can be a heart attack,

a stroke or the outbreak of disease.

Since our bodies do not give us any alarm signs, the best waywe can avoid deficiencies in cellular energy and preventthe onset of many diseases is with optimum daily supple-mentation of essential nutrients contained in my CellularHealthrecommendations.

Cellular Nutrients Deliver EssentialBioenergy to Cellular Power Plants

Most cellular nutrients target the power plant in each cell.There, they help to ignite the biological burning of energyderived from sugars, proteins and fats. Compared to a conven-tional power plant, macronutrients are the coal and micronu-trients are the ignitors of the energy-generating process. Theadjacent graphic summarizes these important facts:

Acetyl-Coenzyme A (Acetyl-CoA), the central molecule ofcellular metabolism, is indispensable for processing all com-

ponents of food (carbohydrates, proteins, fats) and their con-version into bioenergy. Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) is astructural component of this key molecule. A deficiency ofvitamin B5 leads to decreased acetyl-coenzyme A levels andmetabolic congestion. This can result in increased bloodlevels of cholesterol and other blood fats. Optimum supple-mentation of vitamin B5 corrects this congestion andimproves the production of cellular energy.

Vitamin B3 (nicotinic acid) is the energy transport mole-cule of one of the most important cellular energy carriers,nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). Vitamin C pro-vides the bioenergy to NAD transport molecules by addinghydrogen atoms (-H) and thus, biological energy. Theenergy-rich shuttle molecules NAD-H provide energy forthousands of cellular reactions. A sufficient supply of vita-min B3 and vitamin C is indispensable for optimum cellularenergy.

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) and vitamin C cooperate in a simi-lar way within each cell as a bioenergy shuttle. Vitamin B2is a structural component of the energy transport moleculeflavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), and vitamin C providesbioenergy for the activation of millions of bioenergy-richFAD molecules.

Comparing Therapeutic Targetsin Cardiovascular Disease

Cellular Medicine

In contrast, my Cellular Health recommendations have definedbiological targets. The scientific basis of Cellular Medicinedefines therapeutic targets of unprecedented scope and speci-ficity to prevent and treat cardiovascular disease. Vascular wallstability is optimized, vascular healing processes are inducedand antioxidant and Teflon protection is provided. The most

important biological targets of this natural cardiovascularhealth program are summarized in the figure below.

Conventional Medicine vs. Cellular Medicine:

Conventional Medicine

My Cellular Health recommendations withstand any compari-son to other preventive cardiovascular approaches. Preventiveapproaches by conventional medicine focus on cholesterollowering and the reduction of other risk factors, as well aslifestyle changes. These approaches miss key targets of cardio-vascular health, such as optimum vascular stability and repair,

antioxidant protection and bioenergy for cells.

Conventional Medicine vs. Cellular Medicine:

Effectiveness

Conventional therapy is generally limited to the treatment ofcardiovascular symptoms, one at a time. Since most heart dis-ease patients have many cardiovascular problems at the sametime, they frequently are prescribed several medications.

In contrast, my Cellular Health recommendations correct the

underlying causes of the disease. It provides cell fuel for mil-lions of cells, allowing for the correction of impaired cellularfunction in different compartments of the cardiovascular sys-tem simultaneously.

Comparing Effectiveness and Safety

Safety

Another important advantage of my Cellular Health recom-mendations compared to conventional drug therapies is thatthey are safe and undesirable side effects are unknown. Dr. A.Bendich summarized the safety aspects of vitamins in a reviewin the New York Academy of Sciences. She found that allrumors about the side effects of vitamins are unsubstantiated.

These deceptions are being spread in the interest of the phar-maceutical industry to create a false dependency on prescrip-tion drugs alone.

Below, my Cellular Health recommendations are compared toconventional cardiovascular therapies and their risks.
