In contrast to vitamins and minerals, for a long time, science paid only scant attention to amino acids, but this all changed when scientists Robert F. Furchgott, Louis J. Ignarro and Ferid Murad received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1998 for their work on amino acids. Pharmacist Uwe Gröber, Head of the Academy for Micronutrient Medicine in Essen and Prof. Klaus Kisters, MD, Head of the Department of Medicine at St Anna Hospital in Herne – both experts in micronutrient medicine – have reviewed the subject and explain clearly and in practical terms: ■ The importance of individual amino acids for our health ■ How they are optimally used in combination with vitamins, minerals and trace elements ■ Which diseases can be positively influenced in this way. ■ Effects on colds and influenza, cold sores, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, ADHD as well as stress and burnout are examined in more detail. A further chapter is devoted to amino acids and their use in sportsmen and -women.
Immer mehr Menschen leiden weltweit unter Gelenkerkrankungen. Knie-, Hüft-, Finger- und Schulterarthrose sind Volksleiden geworden und auch die rheumatischen Entzündungen sind auf dem Vormarsch. Die Schulmedizin hat in der Behandlung der Gelenkerkrankungen zahlreiche Fortschritte erzielt, aber meist nur auf dem Gebiet der Operationen, die häufg nicht notwendig wären, und der Medikamente, die oft mit Nebenwirkungen behaftet sind. Viel zu wenig beachtet und genutzt werden die vielfältigen Verfahren der Naturheilkunde bei Arthrose, Rheuma und Gelenkschmerzen, die oft als Folge unseres modernen Lebensstils auftreten: Bewegungsmangel, Ernährung, Stress, Übergewicht. Das Spektrum der naturheilkundlichen Behandlungsmethoden ist überraschend breit: von Heilfasten, Yoga, speziellen Gelenkübungstechniken, Heilpflanzentherapie, Kneipp-Therapie bis zu Akupunktur, Ayurveda, Blutegeln und Schröpfen. Andreas Michalsen, Chefarzt für Naturheilkunde am Immanuel Krankenhaus Berlin und Professor der Charité Berlin, beschreibt die Vor- und Nachteile schulmedizinischer und naturheilkundlicher Behandlung und empfiehlt in detaillierten Übersichten die besten Therapien der Naturheilkunde bei Gelenkerkrankungen.

Intoxicating? Intoxicating drugs are as old as mankind itself. Whether herbal or produced synthetically in a laboratory, their variety is almost limitless. And every year, more substances are added to the list. Niels Eckstein, who is a Professor of Drug Regulatory Affairs and Pharmacology and a long-standing expert in the narcotics scene, explores the abysses of the darknet and dealer hell, provides insider information, conducts interviews with dealers and producers, and offers profound insights into the bizarre, parallel world of intoxicating substances. At the same time, the author takes a thorough look at the chemistry of the different substance classes and the neurobiological basis of addiction. He also covers production and assesses the danger and addiction potential of designer drugs, BTM, NPS, medicinal drugs and doping substances. This book outlines the political and sociopolitical dimensions of the use of psychoactive substances, classifies them legally, describes risks, approaches, and help strategies, highlights routes out of drug problems and alternatives to drug prohibition, and comments on the opioid crisis in the United States and the „war on drugs.“ “I don‘t care how it‘s regulated: if he wants it and can pay for it, he gets it. If I get caught, I‘ll go to jail for a few years, whether it‘s for a kilo of coke, meph or testo, it doesn‘t matter.“ – In an interview with a dealer

Professor Donda macht eine erstaunliche Entdeckung: Gespeicherte Informationen haben ein messbares Gewicht! Entscheidend ist dabei nicht die Menge, sondern die Dichte der Informationen. Und vergleichbar der gefährlichen Konzentration von Uran gibt es auch eine „kritische“ Masse an Information. Wird diese kritische Datenmasse erreicht, sind die Folgen katastrophal: Alle Rechner der Welt zerstören sich selbst. Stanisław Lems Werke sind allein im deutschen Sprachraum millionenfach verbreitet und gelesen worden. Seine humoristisch-phantastische Meistererzählung „Professor A. Donda“, 1978 auf deutsch in den „Sterntagebüchern“ veröffentlicht, erscheint in der Insel-Bücherei erstmals illustriert und als Einzelveröffentlichung. Die Ausgabe ist aus einem Illustrationswettbewerb in der Klasse für Buchgestaltung und Illustration an der Universität der Künste in Berlin unter der Leitung von Henning Wagenbreth hervor gegangen, wir zeigen die prämiierten Zeichnungen von Benjamin Courtault. - Mit zahlreichen Illustrationen von Benjamin Courtault und einem Nachwort von Matthias Reiner

Die Schulmedizin grenzt die Naturheilkunde noch immer aus, dabei hat sich unsere Gesellschaft längst entschieden: Denn zwei Drittel aller Patienten wollen naturheilkundlich behandelt werden. Das seien doch Hausmittelchen, ohne wissenschaftliche Basis, glauben viele Ärzte. »Falsch«, sagt Andreas Michalsen, Professor an der Charité Berlin: »Die moderne Naturheilkunde ist wissenschaftlich fundiert, und sie ist die einzige Antwort auf die steigende Zahl chronischer Leiden.« In den USA wird die naturheilkundliche Medizin mit 250 Millionen Dollar jährlich staatlich unterstützt, in Deutschland ist Andreas Michalsen einer der Pioniere, die tradiertes Heilwissen und modernste Forschung auf innovative Weise miteinander verbinden. Massive Nebenwirkungen und mangelndes Vertrauen – die Medikamenten-Medizin steckt in einer Sackgasse. Immer mehr Forscher interessieren sich deshalb für die Wirkprinzipien traditioneller Heilverfahren. Der Professor für Klinische Naturheilkunde und Chefarzt am Immanuel Krankenhaus in Berlin erzählt, warum er den konventionellen Pfad der Medizin verlassen hat und welches Potenzial der Natur er mit seinen Patienten täglich neu entdeckt.
