Dental cleaning - sensible or excessive? A differentiated view

Dental cleaning - how often does it make sense?

Professional dental cleanings are now considered a standard recommendation - it is often suggested that they should be carried out every 6 months or even every 3 months. Those who can afford it (or have good supplementary dental insurance) are often praised. But how useful is it really? The answer, as so often, is: it depends.

Lithium: The forgotten trace element? A look at microdosing

Lithium orotate in microdosage

When you hear the word lithium, many people first think of modern rechargeable batteries, battery technology or - with a skeptical eye - psychotropic drugs. But lithium is actually much more than that: it is a naturally occurring trace element that has been present in our environment since time immemorial - in rocks, in water and also in small quantities in plant-based foods.

MCS: When life forces you to move for the third time

Three forced removals due to MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity)

I am writing these lines from a vacation apartment in Pilsen, Czech Republic. It's a simple, clearly structured place. Kitchen, WLAN, a good table to work at. Everything I need - no more, no less. I'm not here because I'm on vacation. I'm also not here to follow a whim or start a new chapter. I'm here because I had to.

How I wrote five books in two languages in four months

Writing books with Affinity and BoD

...and why this is not a miracle, but the result of a clear strategy

For a long time, writing books was seen as something tedious - a lonely project that drags on for months or even years. But what if you let go of this image? What if you rethink writing - with a clear focus, well thought-out processes and targeted use of AI?

In my new book "Writing books 2.0 - a practical guide for authors in the age of AI" I describe exactly this path. A path that has enabled me to write five books in just four months, publish them in two languages - and not accept any loss of quality compared to traditional publishing.

Dental health and TMD - more than just a little bit. What does the future hold?

CMD, dental health and future technologies

Hardly any other part of the body is as complex and at the same time as underestimated as the jaw. It is not only responsible for enabling us to chew, speak and swallow - it is also part of a finely tuned system of muscles, tendons, joints and nerves that affects the spine and even the feet. If this system is out of sync, it can have far-reaching consequences - for the entire musculoskeletal system, for the nerve pathways and ultimately for a person's well-being. In the medical world, this is referred to as a Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD).

My personal experience with MUCOKEHL-D3 for hemorrhoids

MUCOKEHL D3 Ointment

I have been working intensively on the subject of hemorrhoids for more than ten years - unfortunately not out of theoretical interest, but from my own experience. During this time, I have already undergone two operations: a THD method (transanal haemorrhoid desarterialization) and a laser treatment. Both procedures helped temporarily, but the symptoms always returned over time.

Writing books 2.0 - practical guide for authors in the age of AI

Cover: Writing books 2.0 - a practical guide for authors in the age of AI

This book does not provide speculative visions of the future, but a well-founded, practical answer from the everyday life of an author who writes with AI himself - and deliberately focuses not on automation, but on autonomy. "Writing books 2.0" is aimed at anyone who is thinking about writing their own book - or is already in the process of doing so - and is wondering how modern tools such as ChatGPT, AI image generators or translation aids can be put to good use. The focus is not on "finished AI products", but on a holistic approach: AI as a tool, humans as authors.

The Unconventional Hemorrhoid Book - open, honest and holistic

Haemorrhoids cover

Hemorrhoids are a taboo subject. Although millions of people are affected, they are rarely talked about openly. Many suffer in silence, putting off visits to the doctor and trying to get by with creams and home remedies. But it is precisely this silence that can inadvertently prolong the suffering.

With "The Unconventional Hemorrhoid Book - My way through hemorrhoid hell - and back" Markus Schall sends out a clear signal against this speechlessness - and shows new ways of better understanding, classifying and holistically alleviating complaints.
