Your opinion counts - New surveys on current topics

Surveys on current topics

A magazine thrives on exchange - now also interactively. Anyone who knows me knows that I don't write to preach - but to initiate thought processes. The articles on my website have never been a one-way street, but an invitation to reflect. However, what has been missing so far is the opportunity for readers to take a very concrete stand - anonymously, honestly, directly. This is exactly what is changing now.

You can now find interactive polls on my website that are integrated directly into articles on specific topics - and also appear in rotation in the sidebar. This is a step that was long overdue: because in a world in which more and more opinions are being imposed from above, every freely expressed opinion from below is a piece of digital sovereignty.

Stress is not a force of nature - How to reclaim your freedom, step by step

Stress is not a force of nature

"You have too much stress."

That's what my dentist said to me when I was being treated for my CMD problems. And my spontaneous answer was one that many people would probably give:

"Yes, what am I supposed to do - I have the stress."

But his next sentence stuck in my head. He just said calmly:

Detox without side effects? My experience report with humic acids

by
Humic acids for gentle detoxification

There are remedies that you only find out about much later than would actually have been good. That was the case for me with humic acids. In the early 2000s, I still had some amalgam fillings, which I had replaced with more modern fillings. Back in the 1980s, this was quite normal - you went to the dentist, got a silver seal and that was that. Nobody talked about heavy metals, mercury or detoxification. At least not in the dentist's surgery.

Dental cleaning - sensible or excessive? A differentiated view

by
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

by
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

by
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.

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

by
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).
