Peter Jentschura has led scientific researching the areas of body chemistry, internal cleansing, and purification. The Founder and CEO of the Jentschura International GmbH in Muenster, Germany, Dr Jentschura is trained as a Chemist, is a Entrepreneur, Health-Pioneer, successful author as well as the creator of a cutting-edge, highly effective purification program. In the following interview, Dr Jentschura shares the keys to purifying our bodies and boosting our overall health and vitality. 1. Is it correct to say that many illnesses caused by civilization have their roots in an insufficient diet?Dr. Jentschura: Yes, definitely. An imbalanced diet can further many illnesses caused by civilization or can be the root of the illness. Paired with alcohol, nicotine, lack of activity, stress, and anxiety, a dangerous cocktail of poison can build in the body, resulting in chronic acidity of the organism, the consumption of essence, damage of structure, and incrustations. Other possible consequences include: high blood pressure, excess weight, arterioscleroses, osteoporoses, gout, cellulites, hair loss, allergies, diabetes, and other skin diseases. 2. What are the biggest diet mistakes?Dr. Jentschura: The greatest diet mistake is that many people don’t take into careful consideration what they choose to eat, so a balanced and vital, substance- rich diet falls short. One eats--or better described--one quickly consumes a kebab during a break, a bar of chocolate on the side, and a pizza in front of TV in the evening. That’s why acid-producing foods, such as meat, sweets, white flour, cakes and soft drinks are on the daily menu. Also the over intake of animal protein and sugar are factors contributing to acidification and waste products. Foods with a high source of vital substances and complex carbohydrates in the form of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and seeds mainly fall short. 3. What does “healthy diet” mean to you?Dr. Jentschura: Healthy diet means a balanced and vital substance-rich diet, in conjunction with my rules: “Stay away from what harms you! Eat, drink and do what is useful! Eliminate what is harmful!” A vital rich and therefore an alkaline whole foods diet with an abundance of raw foods and vegetables leads significantly to more life energy and well being. A diet mainly consisting of fresh and unrefined ingredients not processed and manipulated by genetic technology, increases lasting activity of spirit and body. An alkaline diet with vital substances and minerals decisively supports the elimination function of the kidneys and contributes to the positive fact that our blood is alkaline. To secure the course of important physiological activities in the human body, such as breathing, circulation, digestion, excretion, the body’s defence function and balance of hormones, a light alkaline environment with a ph level between 7.35 and 7.45 is needed. 4. For most people the daily meals should not be very time consuming. Is a healthy diet compatible with eating in a hurry?Dr. Jentschura: “When you eat in a hurry in the end you fall short. Good chewing is half way digested” is an old saying. The chewing process is very important in breaking down food and allowing the saliva to do its work. The saliva provides important digestive enzymes, so a kind of pre- digestion occurs in the mouth. When food is swallowed in a hurry, the stomach is prevented from doing its “work preparation”. The consequences are: the digestive organs have to do more work, and nutrients are poorly distributed. If one has less time to eat, then it is more favourable to eat less and, instead, chew slower. 5. Which advice would you give: Slowly change to an alkaline diet or make a complete change overnight?Dr. Jentschura: A guiding principle is “Hurry with patience!” The longer a mal nutritious diet has been “enjoyed” with lots of animal proteins, fast foods, white flour, sugar, alcohol, and sweets, the more time one should give to make the change in dietary habits. With a moderate start, the organism is able to adjust slowly to the new natural diet. The daily food should contain 80% of vegetables, herbs, salads, fruits, potatoes, nuts, and seeds like millet, buckwheat, and quinoa. To start the day powerfully, one should value an alkaline breakfast.6. Science has now become interested in the advantages of an alkaline diet. Despite this fact, this discussion has not yet reached the orthodox working medical doctors. What is the reason for this?Dr. Jentschura: The classical medicine takes care mainly of symptoms rather than the cause of a problem. However, this is not the way out of the labyrinth of illnesses caused by civilization. Many medical doctors don’t treat symptoms as a way of healing. The symptom – one can look at it as an attempt of the body to heal itself- demonstrates the process of healing. This natural and dynamic healing and rescue plan has to be recognized and supported. That should be done for most with an alkaline diet and an alkaline body cleansing. 7. Alkaline diet is one vital component. What other factors would you say a healthy life should include?Dr. Jentschura: If one wants to live healthy and long, one should take care of a balanced acid/alkaline diet, and also bring spirit and body in balance. Stress in jobs and in leisure time, anxieties, less sleep, too much or not enough physical activities are also indicators that our bodies are literally being turned into acidity. Health also means that we live in balance, enjoy life, enjoy being a human being, and to show that. Of course, once in a while one can enjoy something not healthy. One should enjoy compensatively. That means for example: the next day after a long party night, “sins” should be met with a vital substances rich diet and with an alkaline cleansing of the body.alkaline foods are crucial for your wellness.German Dr. h.c.
