        A Healthy Pregnancy with Selected (Micro)Nutrients

        by Uwe Gröber

        Adequate nutrition and a healthy lifestyle – before and during pregnancy - are of great importance for a trouble-free pregnancy, birth, and the subsequent development of the child. Since the nutritional status before the onset of pregnancy influences both fertility and the course of pregnancy, including complications, the birth and breastfeeding, close attention should be paid to a healthy diet and adequate supply of essential (micro)nutrients well in advance and not only at the family planning stage. Poor micronutrient status prior to conception is often carried over into pregnancy, and can significantly increase the risk of pregnancy complications and, for example, lead to the dreaded spina bifida in the child. This patient guide tells you what you need to know! Various micronutrients are described in detail. Special emphasis is placed on the latest study results concerning pregnancy and nutrition.

        Coping Better with Cancer Therapy

        Improved quality of life with the right vitamins and minerals

        by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Klaus Kisters

        Cancer patients often suffer from malnutrition. Not only do they lack energy-providing macronutrients such as protein, fats and carbohydrates, they particularly lack the micronutrients that regulate the metabolism. Micronutrients such as vitamin D, selenium, L-carnitine, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin C significantly contribute to supporting the immune system of cancer patients, reducing inflammatory processes, alleviating the side effects of cancer therapy, and improving their quality of life. This patient guide provides information about the relationship between cancer, malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, the influence of cancer therapeutics on micronutrient balance, and how cancer patients can support their therapy and improve their quality of life with a controlled intake of micronutrient

        This guide provides patients with important medical information about interactions of their drug products with vitamins and minerals. These interactions are not always listed in the accompanying package inserts. Taking the diabetes drug metformin can cause a vitamin B12 deficiency, which causes severe nerve damage. Besides vitamin B12, other micronutrients such as magnesium, coenzyme Q10, vitamin C, vitamin D and chromium can support the therapy with metformin and other diabetes medicines. This way, patients can optimise their treatment, reduce the side effects of their medication and improve their quality of life!

        Drugs as Micronutrient Robbers

        What your doctor and pharmacist ought to tell you

        by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Klaus Kisters

        Many of us have to take drugs on a regular basis. But birth control pills, antibiotics, blood pressure medication, statins, diabetes medication, diuretics, anti-cancer drugs, gastrointestinal remedies or preparations against osteoporosis can all rob the body of essential vitamins and minerals. Often, drug-related micronutrient deficiency is the unrecognized cause of drug side effects. Symptoms such as exhaustion, depression, lack of concentration, irritability, sleep disorders or even dementia can result. Such problems can be prevented. Informed patients can take preventive measures, avoid unwanted side effects and make their drug therapy more effective. This guide explains what to watch out for and how to improve quality of life.

        For many people, vitamin K is known only as the vitamin for blood clotting, but this is way off the mark! Science has discovered a lot of new information and nowadays it is known that in addition to its role in regulating blood clotting and the flow properties of the blood, vitamin K also promotes the health of bones and blood vessels, thus protecting against osteoporosis and arteriosclerosis. In addition, it supports a healthy glucose metabolism in diabetics and plays a role in the prevention and treatment of cancer. These are too many positive properties to leave them untapped.

        Micronutrient Depleters: Cholesterol-lowering Drugs

        Things to know about medicines and micronutrients

        by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Klaus Kisters

        Elevated blood lipid levels are among the major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. The class of substances most commonly used for lowering blood lipids is the type of cholesterol-lowering drug known as statins. Taking cholesterol-lowering drugs can lead to disruption of the coenzyme Q10 balance and muscle metabolism. In addition, statin therapy increases the need for selenium, vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins and L-carnitine. This guide provides patients with important medical information about the interactions of their medicines with these micronutrients. This way, patients can optimise their treatment, reduce the side effects of their medication, and improve their quality of life!

        'Liebes Fritzchen' – 'Lieber Groß-Uwe'

        Der Briefwechsel

        by Uwe Johnson, Fritz J. Raddatz, Erdmut Wizisla

        "Liebes Fritzchen" überschrieb Uwe Johnson den ersten Brief an Fritz J. Raddatz aus dem Jahr 1966. Die im Freundes- und engeren Bekanntenkreis geläufige Verkehrsform ist der humorvolle Ausdruck freundschaftlicher Nähe der beiden, die sich seit 1959 persönlich kannten. Im Gegenzug schrieb Raddatz: "Lieber großer Uwe Johnson", "Lieber große Uwe" oder, sehr häufig, Uwe Johnson/ Fritz J. Raddatz Der Briefwechsel "Lieber Groß-Uwe". In diesen Benennungen drückt sich eine Vertrautheit aus, die nicht zu unterschätzen ist, zumal Johnson als der Schwierige, als der Unnahbare galt. Dieser Briefwechsel, beginnend im August 1966, endend im August 1983, zwischen zwei ehemaligen Bürgern der DDR, gehorcht nur scheinbar den vorgegebenen Rollen der beiden: hier der Schriftsteller, dort der Verleger, Lektor, Herausgeber und Kritiker. Da die Korrespondenzpartner wissen, daß Literatur nicht im gesellschaftsfreien Raum stattfindet, sie doch gleichwohl dazu Distanz benötigt, um ihre Wahrheit präsentieren zu können, thematisieren ihre Briefe alle Aspekte der Literatur: ihre Entstehungsbedingungen, die Technik des Schreibens, die Kritik - nicht zuletzt die Politik. Als Persönliches zur Sprache gebracht wird, kommt es zum Zerwürfnis.

        The healing power of the sunshine vitamin

        by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Michael F. Holick

        Vitamin D deficiency is a global health problem that puts the quality of life and life expectancy of more than a billion children and adults at risk worldwide. Many lifestyle diseases may be associated with vitamin D deficiency: myocardial infarction, infections, cancer, neurological diseases, stroke, type 2 diabetes, to name just a few. This 4th updated edition incorporates numerous new insights into the therapeutic effect of vitamin D, including its importance for a healthy pregnancy, prenatal imprinting, optimum sporting performance, diabetes mellitus and autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or multiple sclerosis. Since the metabolism and the effect of vitamin D are supported by a complex network of micronutrients – for example, magnesium, vitamin A or vitamin K – a specific chapter is devoted to this network. Here, the reader can discover how vitamin D successfully protects against diseases, improves the quality of life and optimises medication and treatment!
