WHAT IS THE CHRONIC?
I am well aware that this is a very dark picture at the beginning and in dramatic contrast to what advertising textbooks tell us. Everything you do as a marketer has to be positive, even though it is a lie. Lying is. not one of my strengths. Nobody can deny that chronic diseases spread like wildfire.
I talk here of “the Chronic” because whatever symptoms you suffer from or diagnoses you may have received by the medical system, the processes that run its course through our body are alike and the relentless, often in vain, effort of healing. In contrast to the acute inflammation which is self-limiting, the chronic is not.

Burning the story of the chronic down to its very kernel leads us to a dysfunctional metabolic system, at its core the mitochondria
THE BEGINNING: INSULIN RESISTENCE
The undercover starting point is the irritation of the metabolic system by insulin resistance which over a long period of time remains undetected until prediabetes is detected. When the diagnosis of Diabetes Type 2 is revealed high blood pressure, visceral obesity, angina pectoris, depression as phenomena of chronic inflammation have already captured our body.
Mitchondria are responsible for creating energised phosphate, molecules which unfold the cell’s proteins. These proteins then take care of the water in the cell. 90 -99% of our cells are made up by structured water. This water is responsible for the electrical charged cell and the smooth conductivity between all cells and information transfer.
INSULIN: a calibrator of glucose metabolism and a fat storage hormone
I have to cut the story of complex regulation taking place in the background short here.
A surplus of glucose due to inadequate food intake is moved into fatty tissue. The body does not tolerate too high or too low glucose levels in the blood. Fatty tissue is a sort of buffer zone. All kind of metabolites, be they toxins, tissue decay or leftovers from drugs that cannot be removed from the body. Only water soluble substances can be discarded through our kidneys by being metabolised in the liver firsthand.
The cell carries a positive charge on the outside and a negative charge at its inside. Well-being depends a lot on the structured water in our bodies. We are softly tuned electromagnetic entities.
In the case of ineffektive energy production, consumption, regulation and distribution our body exhausts itself – like a screw revolving without grabbing its counterpart.
This process leads finally to chronic inflammation, the low-grade inflammatory state running under the radar of measurements becomes apparent. Firstly by parameters like CRP and certain interleukins like IL-6 become elevated. The next step is a chronic illness of which we have a long list from tumors to autoimmune diseases.
That’s what a chronic disease is, just symptoms without giving you any idea of the cause.
THE BIOLOGICAL STRESS RESPONSE
Science split our body into four big regulation systems: The nervous system, immune system, the hormones and the metabolic system.
Nervous system, immune system and hormones keep the body in balance. Regardless of the stimuli from the inside of the body or the outside world, be they physical, cognitive or emotional the biological response remains the same.
If this system, called stress system, cannot keep our organism in an equilibrium, then the path to chronic inflammation and finally chronic disease is outlaid.

EATING & RECOVERY
This is a very extensive chapter filling pages over pages. One principle I follow is: Healing comes from nature.
Care about nutrient rich foods, quality water, stay away from sugars and refined carbs. Consider Biestmilch as part of you diet. Find rest to relax your stress system, breathing, meditation, praying… let your everyday worries loose. Stress makes up a great deal for developing chronic issues.
WHAT CAN WE DO?
In my view the best to do is preventing things from happening. This is easy said on the one hand and difficult to execute on the other. Because it needs us to change our lifestyle. Change for us human beings is not any easy job. Changing routines needs time, belief and trust in ourselves and our natural and social environment.
It is not as we are often told all in our genes. We have more control than we assume.
MOVING & SLEEPING
With moving the kilos we are not in love with melt away. Moving does not necessarily mean to do sports like crazy. Already focusing on little things like putting on your socks without holding on to something, doing some weight lifting and stretching. Essential is as always: regularity.
Quality Sleep is very important and tells you a lot about your health condition.
