Teeth
Teeth, also known as dentes, are solid, mineralized structures in the human mouth that play an essential role in the digestive process and in speech.
The human dentition consists of different types of teeth, including incisors, canines, molars and wisdom teeth, each of which has specific functions in chewing and grinding food.

Teeth consist of several layers, including the enamel, the dentin and the pulp.
The enamel is the outermost layer and consists of minerals that protect the tooth from external influences.
The dentin forms the main mass of the tooth and contains dentin tubules that lead to the pulp, which contains nerve and blood vessels.
The root of the tooth is the part of the tooth that is anchored in the jawbone.

Dental health is of great importance as it affects not only the ability to eat and digest food, but also general well-being and quality of life.
It is therefore advisable to take dental care seriously and to consult a dentist if any problems arise in order to avoid possible complications.

The targeted supply of healthy cell components could serve to promote the structure and function of the teeth.

Diseases and symptoms
Periodontal diseases: These include gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and periodontitis (inflammation of the periodontium), which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated.

Bleeding gums: A symptom that can indicate various problems, including gingivitis or vitamin deficiency.

Tooth sensitivity: Sensitive teeth react painfully to hot, cold, sweet or sour foods and drinks.

Digestion & Liver
The digestive tract and the liver are essential components of the human digestive system and play a crucial role in the absorption, processing and utilization of food.

The digestive tract, also known as the gastrointestinal tract, begins in the mouth with the mechanical grinding of food by chewing and the enzymatic breakdown by saliva.
The food then passes into the pharynx and from there into the oesophagus, where peristalsis ensures that it is transported into the stomach.
In the stomach, chemical and mechanical digestion takes place through the use of gastric acid and digestive enzymes.
The chyme, the digested food, then passes through the pylorus and enters the duodenum, where the gallbladder releases bile and the pancreas produces digestive enzymes.
Here, fats, proteins and carbohydrates are broken down further.

Arzt im Hintergrund mit moderner Darstellung von einem Darm, Menschen und Gesundheit in einem Sechseck
The main part of food breakdown and digestion takes place in the small intestine, more precisely in the jejunum and ileum.
This is where the absorption of nutrients takes place, which are then transported to the liver via the portal vein.
The liver is a vital organ with numerous metabolic functions.
It produces bile, which is used to emulsify fats, and it stores nutrients such as glycogen, vitamins and minerals.
The liver also detoxifies the body by breaking down harmful substances.

Considering the essential metabolic processes within our bodies, the conscious intake of healthy cellular components could help to promote the long-term health of the digestive and liver systems.

Diseases and symptoms
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): A chronic condition in which the acidic contents of the stomach flow back into the esophagus, causing heartburn and inflammation.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS): A functional bowel disorder that can cause abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea and constipation.

Ulcerative colitis: An inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation and ulcers in the large intestine and leads to symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain.

Crohn’s disease: Another inflammatory bowel disease that can affect the entire digestive tract and leads to inflammation, ulcers and digestive disorders.

Leaky gut syndrome: A disturbed intestinal barrier can lead to increased intestinal permeability and possibly trigger inflammation and immune reactions in the body.

Liver diseases: These include fatty liver and liver cirrhosis, which impair liver function and can be life-threatening in the worst cases.

Stomach ulcers: Painful ulcers in the mucous membrane of the stomach or small intestine, often caused by Helicobacter pylori infections or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers.
Chronic stress and an unhealthy diet can also lead to a stomach ulcer.

Pancreatitis: An inflammation of the pancreas that leads to digestive problems and abdominal pain.

Food intolerances and allergies: Reactions to certain foods that can cause digestive problems, allergies and intolerances.

Skin
The skin, our versatile protective shield and at the same time our aesthetic trademark, is a remarkable organ.

The skin, also known as the integumentum commune, is the largest organ of the human body and fulfills a number of important functions.
It forms a complex protective sheath that protects the body from external environmental influences such as microorganisms, UV radiation and mechanical stress.
The skin also acts as a barrier against the loss of body fluids and regulates the body’s temperature through sweat production and blood vessel circulation.

Arzt im Hintergrund mit moderner Darstellung von einem Stück Haut, Menschen und Gesundheit in einem Sechseck
The skin consists of three main layers: the epidermis, the dermis and the subcutis.
The epidermis consists of a multi-layered, keratinizing squamous epithelium.
It forms the uppermost protective barrier of the skin.
The dermis, also known as the corium, consists of connective tissue that gives the skin stability and elasticity.
The dermis also contains blood vessels and muscles, sebaceous and sweat glands, hair roots and receptors.
The subcutis, also known as the hypodermis, also consists of connective tissue filled with fat cells.

Diseases and symptoms
Dermatitis: Inflammatory skin conditions that can cause redness, itching and scaling.

Acne: A disease of the sebaceous glands that can lead to pimples, blackheads and inflammation.

Eczema: Chronic skin diseases that cause dry, itchy and inflamed patches of skin.

Psoriasis: An autoimmune disease that causes silvery, scaly patches of skin and inflammation.

Allergic reactions: The skin can react sensitively to certain substances and develop urticaria (skin rash) or contact dermatitis (inflammation on skin contact with allergens).

Revitalization
It is a general and laudable goal to maintain physical and cognitive fitness into old age.
A fully regenerated organism exhibits increased performance and thus contributes to an improved quality of life.
However, the reality is often a differentiated picture, characterized by a variety of environmental factors and individual lifestyles that influence our health.

Environmental pollution such as fine dust particles, electromagnetic radiation (electrosmog) and noise pollution can have a negative impact on our well-being.
These stresses can disrupt the normal functioning of our organism and often lead to health problems.
It is very important to find ways to counteract these environmental factors and take protective measures.

Arzt im Hintergrund mit moderner Darstellung von einer Zelle, Menschen und Gesundheit in einem Sechseck
Individual lifestyle habits also play a decisive role in our health.
A balanced diet, regular exercise and sufficient sleep are cornerstones for maintaining physical and mental fitness.
Unfortunately, many people lead a hectic lifestyle that promotes stress and lack of sleep.
This can lead to an increased risk of health problems.

Another factor that can impair the revitalization of the body is oxidative stress.
This occurs when metabolic processes are disrupted and the body’s defense mechanisms against harmful free radicals weaken.
This process is closely linked to natural cell ageing, which progresses inexorably.

In line with the vital life process, the targeted supply of healthy cell components as part of specific revitalization approaches could help to promote the long-term health of this system.

Diseases and symptoms
Weakened immune system: A weakened immune system can lead to more frequent infections, as the body is less effective at fighting pathogens.

Burn-out syndrome/exhaustion depression: This condition is the result of chronic stress and excessive workload.
It can lead to severe mental exhaustion in particular.

Fatigue: General fatigue can be caused by a number of factors, including lack of sleep, stress, unhealthy diet and lack of exercise.

Kidney & bladder
The renal and urological system is a complex network that plays a central role in maintaining homeostasis in the human body.
In this system, the kidneys are the key organs mainly responsible for the filtration of blood.
The kidneys eliminate waste products, excess electrolytes and water, while producing important substances such as erythropoietin and renin, which regulate blood formation and blood pressure.

Urine formation begins in the glomeruli, the fine capillaries of the kidneys in which the blood is filtered, and continues in the renal tubules, where the primary urine is modified.
The modified urine then travels via the ureters to the urinary bladder, a muscular hollow organ in the pelvic region that has the ability to store urine.

Arzt im Hintergrund mit moderner Darstellung von Nieren, Menschen und Gesundheit in einem Sechseck
The urinary bladder is controlled by the internal and external urinary sphincter, which allows urine to be held in the bladder until it is excreted.
Disorders in the renal and urological system can lead to kidney disease, urinary tract infections, urinary stones and bladder problems.

Adaptation at the cellular level could help to promote homeostasis in this complex system and strengthen the health of the renal and urological systems.

Diseases and symptoms
Urinary tract infections: These include inflammation of the bladder (cystitis) and inflammation of the renal pelvis (pyelonephritis).
These infections can be painful and affect the normal function of the urinary system.
A lower urinary tract infection affects the urethra and bladder, while an upper urinary tract infection affects the renal pelvis and ureters.

Acute and chronic renal insufficiency: functional failure of the kidneys and cessation of urine excretion.
Chronic renal insufficiency leads to a progressive reduction in the performance of the kidneys.
The kidneys lose their ability to excrete metabolic waste products that have to be excreted in the urine, which ultimately leads to the need for dialysis.

Glomerulonephritis: This is an inflammation of the kidneys with primary damage to the glomeruli, the filter units of the kidneys.
This leads to kidney dysfunction with edema and reddish-brown urine.

Bladder problems: These include bladder incontinence, neurogenic bladder disorders and interstitial cystitis, which causes pain in the bladder.

Renal hypertension: High blood pressure can impair kidney function and, conversely, kidney disease can cause high blood pressure.

Diabetic nephropathy: A long-term complication of diabetes in which the kidneys are damaged.

Areas of application / Men Women Health

Women's and men's health
Gender medicine has only been studied for a few years and it was discovered that there are not only illnesses that are gender-specific, but that illnesses are also experienced completely differently, which often leads to misdiagnosis.
One example is a heart attack, which can affect both s*xes but is often discovered “by chance” in women, as they are less sensitive to pain and suffer more frequently from atypical, vague symptoms.
Men, on the other hand, suffer more frequently from typical crushing pain in the chest area and are therefore more likely to seek help immediately.

Women's health:
Women’s health includes specific aspects such as reproductive health and prevention of breast and cervical cancer.
Women often have different hormonal changes throughout their lives that can have an impact on their health.
Regular gynecological examinations, mammograms and maintaining a healthy weight are important aspects of women’s health.
In addition, women should be aware that they are at increased risk for osteoporosis, which requires adequate bone health.

For women
Breast cancer: Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women.

Genetic factors play a role here, as do hormone preparations, diet, environmental factors and the immune system.

Mental illnesses: Women have a higher risk of developing myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) than other groups of people.

Infectious diseases often lead to infertility in women.
As s*xually transmitted diseases are on the rise again in Germany, it is advisable to take preventative measures, consult a gynecologist immediately in the event of early suspicion and start treatment.

Men's health:
Men’s health is often characterized by specific challenges.
Heart disease, cancer and diabetes are common health problems in men.
Regular check-ups and a healthy lifestyle are crucial for prevention.
In addition, men are often less willing to talk about their health problems, which can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment.
Raising awareness of the importance of one’s own health and openness towards medical care are key factors.

For men
Cardiovascular diseases:
Still the most common cause of death in men.

Influenceable risk factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases are hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus.

Prostate diseases: These include benign prostate enlargement (prostatic hyperplasia), prostate cancer (prostate carcinoma) and prostatitis, the inflammation of the prostate.

Infertility and erectile dysfunction: Problems with fertility (infertility) and erectile dysfunction can affect men’s quality of life.

Immune system & allergy
The immune system is our invisible shield that protects us from countless threats every day.
Whether it’s bacteria, viruses or other harmful invaders, the immune system works around the clock to protect our body and keep it healthy.
It consists of a complex network of cells, tissues and organs that work together to ward off disease.
This includes white blood cells, antibodies, lymph nodes, the spleen and the bone marrow.
Each of these components plays a crucial role in fighting infection and healing injuries.

How does the immune system work?
Our immune system recognizes and fights pathogens in various ways.
The innate immune system is the first line of defense and can react quickly to foreign substances, albeit relatively unspecifically.
The skin and mucous membranes form the first important barriers here.
In addition, messenger substances are released that chemically damage intruders directly and special defense cells are available that can destroy or absorb and break down a germ.
In addition, humans have an acquired immune system that is formed before birth and in the first years of life and is still capable of learning later.
At the heart of the acquired immune system are specialized white blood cells, the T and B lymphocytes, as well as the antibodies produced, which together react highly specifically to individual pathogens and foreign substances.
They also have the ability to form an immune memory in order to “remember” enemies and thus defend themselves more quickly and efficiently.
A targeted therapeutic approach at cellular level can help to strengthen and protect the immune system in its complex fight against invaders.

Diseases and symptoms
Allergies: An allergy is an excessive reaction of the immune system to normally harmless substances such as pollen, animal hair or certain foods.
The immune system mistakenly recognizes these substances as a threat and triggers symptoms such as sneezing, itching, skin rashes or breathing difficulties.

Autoimmune diseases: Autoimmune diseases develop when the immune system reacts incorrectly against the body’s own tissue.
The immune system mistakenly recognizes the body’s own tissue as foreign, attacks it and causes damage.
These include diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus erythematosus, ulcerative colitis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Addison’s disease and multiple sclerosis.

Immunodeficiency: Stress, grief and prolonged psychological stress in particular can weaken the immune system and encourage the development of diseases.

Inflammatory diseases: These include chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, which are associated with an excessive immune response in the digestive tract.

Hormones
Hormones are biochemical messengers in the human body that play a decisive role in the regulation of various physiological processes.
They are produced in endocrine glands such as the thyroid gland, pancreas or hypothalamus and released into the interstitium.
They are distributed throughout the body via the bloodstream and thus reach their respective target cells.

Target organs and tissues: Each hormone has specific target organs or tissues on which it acts.
For example, pancreatic insulin acts on muscle, liver, kidney and fat cells to regulate glucose metabolism.

Regulation: Hormone production and release are subject to careful regulation.
Feedback loops, which are controlled by other hormones, the nervous system and external influences, affect the hormone levels in the body.

Important hormones: The important hormones in the human body include insulin (regulation of blood sugar levels), thyroxine (thyroid hormone), cortisol (stress hormone), oestrogen and progesterone (female s*x hormones) and testosterone (male s*x hormone).

Arzt im Hintergrund mit moderner Darstellung von Hormonen, Menschen und Gesundheit in einem Sechseck
Hormones play a crucial role in numerous physiological processes, including growth, metabolism, reproduction, immune response and stress response.
Imbalances in hormone levels can lead to various diseases.

Just as these biochemical messengers control precise biological processes, a targeted therapeutic approach at the cellular level could help to promote well-being and hormonal balance in a natural way.

Diseases and symptoms
Hypothyroidism: Hypothyroidism is an underactive thyroid gland that leads to a lack of thyroid hormones.
This can lead to fatigue, weight gain and a slower metabolic rate.

Hyperthyroidism: Hyperthyroidism is an overproduction of the thyroid gland and occurs when the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone.
This can lead to symptoms such as excessive sweating, weight loss and cardiac arrhythmia.

Addison’s disease: Addison’s disease is a disease of the adrenal cortex in which the production of glucocorticoids (such as cortisol) is reduced.
This leads to weakness, fatigue and an impaired response to stress.

Cushing’s disease: Cushing’s disease is an overproduction of cortisol, usually due to adrenal hyperfunction.
Symptoms include weight gain, fat distribution disorders and high blood pressure.

Conn’s syndrome: This syndrome is characterized by primary hyperaldosteronism, in which the adrenal glands produce too much aldosterone.
This can lead to high blood pressure and electrolyte imbalances.

Diabetes mellitus type 2: In this metabolic disease, the body no longer reacts sufficiently to insulin.
This means that there is a reduced insulin effect due to a relative lack of insulin in liver, muscle and fat cells.
This leads to weakness and reduced performance, including urinary tract infections and fungal infections as well as agonizing itching.

Care and maintenance of health

Cardiovascular system
The cardiovascular system, also known as the cardiovascular system, is of crucial importance for the supply of oxygen and vital nutrients to all parts of the body.
In this highly complex network, the heart and blood vessels play the main role in ensuring the continuous circulation of blood.

The integrity of this delicate circulatory system is the basis for the life of humans and animals alike.
Circulation in the cardiovascular system is a closed loop in which blood flows continuously from the heart to the tissues and back to the heart.
This process ensures that oxygen and nutrients reach the cells, while carbon dioxide and metabolic products are removed from the cells.

Arzt im Hintergrund mit moderner Darstellung von einem Herz, Menschen und Gesundheit in einem Sechseck
The regular contraction and relaxation of the heart, known as the heartbeat, ensures that this vital circulation is maintained.
Any disruption or disease in this system can have serious effects on health.

In harmony with the vital life process, the targeted supply of healthy cell components could help to promote the long-term health of this vital system.

Diseases and symptoms
However, illnesses and changes can have considerable negative effects.

Heart failure: This is a weakness of the heart muscle in which the heart is no longer able to pump sufficient blood volume to supply the body.
Left heart failure causes tiredness and shortness of breath, while right heart failure leads to edema, especially in the ankles.

Coronary heart disease (CHD): CHD is a chronic disease of the heart caused by deposits in the coronary arteries.
This leads to a lack of blood flow with an associated reduced oxygen supply to the heart muscle.

Angina pectoris: This is the term used to describe thoracic or retrosternal pain that frequently occurs in attacks and is triggered by ischemia (reduced blood flow) to the heart.
It can also be caused by arteriosclerosis and vasospasms of the coronary arteries, as well as allergies.

Heart attack (myocardial infarction): A myocardial infarction occurs when part of the heart muscle is not supplied with sufficient oxygen due to a blocked coronary artery.
This leads to permanent damage to the heart muscle and can lead to life-threatening complications.

BRAIN

Our brain, this amazing and highly complex organ, is the seat of our thoughts, feelings and actions.
As part of the central nervous system, it is responsible for coordinating all physical and mental processes.

The brain consists of billions of neurons that communicate with each other through synaptic connections.
These networks form the basis for memory, learning, movement and perception.
Our brain allows us to feel, remember, plan and decide, and it enables us to understand the world around us.

Arzt im Hintergrund mit moderner Darstellung von einem Gehirn, Menschen und Gesundheit in einem Sechseck
The different regions of the brain have specialized functions: The frontal lobe controls our cognitive abilities, the temporal lobe is responsible for processing sensory impressions and memories, the parietal lobe plays a role in spatial perception, and the occipital lobe is in charge of visual processing.

Just as the harmonious interaction of neurons forms the basis for our thoughts and actions, targeted care of neuronal structures could help to support cognitive health in a natural way.

Diseases and symptoms
Dementia: A gradual decline in cognitive abilities, often accompanied by memory loss and impaired thinking.
There are two different forms of dementia: the degenerative form with Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia and Lewy body dementia, and the vascular form caused by circulatory disorders in the brain.

Parkinson’s syndrome: A degenerative neurological disease of the brain in which certain dopamine-producing cells are damaged.
The lack of dopamine, caused by the death of the substantia nigra, is therefore essentially responsible for the loss of muscle control and subsequently for all other symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
Typical symptoms are: symptomatic lack of movement, muscle stiffness and tremors at rest.

Multiple sclerosis: An autoimmune disease that damages the protective layer around the nerve fibers (myelin sheaths) in the brain and spinal cord, leading to a variety of neurological symptoms.

Headaches and migraines: painful sensations in the head caused by various factors, which can be particularly severe in the form of a migraine.

Stroke: A sudden interruption of the blood supply to the brain, which can lead to neurological deficits either as a result of a vascular occlusion (cerebral infarction) or a cerebral hemorrhage.

Brain trauma such as craniocerebral trauma caused by an injury to the skull and/or brain.
Mild symptoms such as headaches can occur, but also loss of consciousness, bleeding, movement disorders, pupillary dysfunction, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, seizures and unconsciousness/coma.

Brain tumors: Abnormal growths of cells in the brain that can lead to various neurological symptoms depending on the type and location of the tumor.

Brain fog: Brain fog refers to the occurrence of neurocognitive symptoms such as concentration problems, orientation difficulties, difficulty finding words, sudden forgetfulness, mental exhaustion or the feeling of not being able to think clearly
