Mineral Transporters

Hans Nieper, M.D.

Preventive medicine is the most important guideline to follow, requiring less

effort and less money for better results in the prevention of illness and the

protection of our health. A few of you have already heard of the concepts of

active mineral transports in directed therapy.

 

How do mineral transport substances work? They release an ion at a site where we

want it to be released. We can write an address on the mineral -- on the

potential ion -- and have it go where we want it to go so that it can exercise

its function, either by activation of enzymes, by restoring structure or by

sealing against potential aggression. It is a very simple, completely harmless,

yet vitally active principle.

 

Transportation and absorption of minerals involve complex biochemical systems

within all cells in the body. Minerals maintain electrical charges which are

vital to body physics. A complete understanding of preventive medicine must

incorporate both the chemistry and physics of the human body.

 

Nutrients are only useful when they are readily available at the

cellular level. Many nutrients move easily through cell membranes by

diffusion. These substances are known to be nonpolar because they lack

electrical charges. Positive mineral ions such as calcium, magnesium,

and potassium may have more difficulty becoming " bio-available "

(available for the body's use) because they have such difficulty passing

through cell membranes. For this reason, mineral transporters have been

developed to enable a mineral ion to be carried to the cell.

 

First developed was potassium magnesium aspartate in 1957-1958,

providing the more active transport of potassium and magnesium into the

cell. It became quite successful worldwide as a substance for the

protection of myocardial necrosis, enhancement of liver functions and

the detoxification of digitalis. It has been established that potassium

magnesium aspartate also decreases the death rate from heart attack.

 

Since this was so successful, this concept of active mineral transport

was pursued and the mineral which had to be transported was changed as

well. The most important transporters we have today are aspartic acid,

2-aminoethylphosphoric acid (2-AEP), the salt of the amino acid arginine

and orotic acid.

 

Aspartates are minerals bound to the salt of aspartic acid. This

transporter delivers the associated mineral to the inner portion of the

cell membrane. Potassium magnesium aspartate activates the formation of

energy rich phosphates, especially ATP (adenosine triphosphate),

resulting in more energy and more oxygen in the blood. Increasing the

formation of ATP is one of the most important factors in overcoming

muscular fatigue and the potential risk of muscular necrosis in the

myocardium, as well as correcting an overspill of the lactate pool.

The ions transported by potassium and magnesium to the inner layer of

the outer

cell membrane activate the respective enzymes, which then result in the

formation

of more ATP. {See larger illustration here.]

 

2-AEP is a substance which plays a role as a component in the cell

membrane and at the same time has the property to form a complex with

minerals. This mineral transporter goes into the outer layer of the

outer cell membrane where it releases its associated mineral and is

itself metabolized with the structure of the cell membrane. The effect

here is an increase of the electrical condenser function of cell

membranes to resist toxins and viruses which may otherwise enter the

cell and cause cellular degeneration. Calcium 2-AEP is especially

effective for repairing cell membrane damage. In Germany, calcium,

potassium and magnesium 2-AEP are officially declared as the only active

substances for the treatment of multiple sclerosis.

 

The myelin is a multilayer of cell membranes. In the case of multiple

sclerosis 2-AEP goes to the myelin, fits as a membrane component in the

damaged membrane concurrently releasing the mineral which shields

against aggression by antibodies.

 

In a discussion of mineral transporters, it is important as well to

stress orotates and arginates. These molecules are mostly taken up by

tissue, especially by cartilage tissue, by vessel walls, by the blood

brain barrier and by the matrix of the bone. Calcium orotate and calcium

arginate perform clinical effects in various diseases connected with

decalcification and injury of bones -- osteoporosis, rheumatoid and

osteoarthritis -- which can rapidly be improved by means of the

application of these active mineral transporters.

 

Another mineral transporter is zinc arginate and aspartate which is

officially on the market in Germany and offered as a substance for the

improvement in diabetes and of immune defenses. The production of

insulin is enhanced by actively transported zinc. Zinc arginate and

aspartate activates the thymus gland and the formation to T-informed

lymphocytes.

 

Lithium carbonate activates white blood cells, especially those

suppressed by chemotherapy. Unfortunately, carbonates are not well

absorbed by the body. Use of this form of lithium requires regular blood

level checks by a physician to avoid toxic levels. Conversely, while

active mineral transporters lithium orotate or lithium arginate also

activate white blood cells, at recommended doses of 450 mg. per day

blood levels do not need to be checked. The same applies to the use of

lithium transporters to treat manic depression.

 

Active mineral transporters are simple to use and harmless. In order for

the body to utilize a mineral ion, that mineral must be delivered to the

targeted site in the cellular structure. Over 30 years of clinical

application all over the world has shown that the aspartates, orotates,

arginates, and 2-AEP carriers are active mineral transporters that make

minerals readily available to the body.

 

Dr. Nieper discovered and developed mineral aspartates, orotates,

arginates and 2-AEP. Dr. Nieper made major contributions to the

prevention of disease and the slowing of the aging process.

The objection raised by some against the wonderful

work by Napier for example on Lithium Orotate is that

if his work was so important then why not was it

replicated and more work done by others. They go on to

argue that Lithium is toxic. Probably their attack is

targeted to Lithium Carbonate. But if they are aware

of Napier's work then what to tell them?

Although you didn't specify just who " they " were, I can assure you

that this is one of the more controversial topics. There are always

going to be skeptics although I will say that I, along with many others

explicitly trust the work of the German doctor, Dr.Hans Nieper. He was and is on

the cutting edge of alternatives.

Lithium,...toxic???? Hmmm....

 

Yes, I would say Lithium (the PHARMACEUTICAL) is VERY TOXIC!!! But

then...we must never forget to differentiate between *naturally

occurring* Lithium and it's chemical derivatives!!!!

 

Big Pharma has become quite adept at taking our natural substances

and changing them into toxic substances. I could name off

quite a few naturally occurring substances that they have mutilated

for profit... Taxol, digitalis, and the list goes on and on...The

question is, when are we going to wake up and accept the healing

that nature offers, rather than relying on the chemically derived

substitutes.

I beg to defer....Lithium in its natural state is NOT AT ALL toxic!

It is included in many multivitamin and mineral complexes! In

certain instances we need to take much more than the " minimal "

amounts of minerals in order to offset " chemical imbalances "

created by former drug use, illegal and legal.

 

The lithium supplements which Dr. Hans Nieper has formulated are

neither dangerous nor toxic. Accept no substitutes.They are healing

substances! Of course, as always, this is just my personal

preference. But then, I always lean towards more natural substances

as I have found them to be more " effective " and have observed that

they pose less of a danger to my overall health. The ultimate

decision is yours.

My advice would be not to worry about " them " ...rather just go ahead

and use your own discretion!

All the Best, JoAnn

 

PS. You may purchase Dr. Nieper's original lithium formula on

iherb.com

If you wish to learn more about Dr. Niepers work, my advice would be to go to

the online Brewer library. his literature may be purchased there for a very

nominal price.

I am surprised that there is not more research on Lithium Orotate as

well, however when you stop to realize just what is going on, the

reasons are obvious.

Much of the evidence can be found right here on this great forum

if you frequently open very many of our posts you may already

understand why.

 

In America, there has been a bitter dispute between big pharma and

those of us who advocate the more healing alternatives. Many

healing

websites have been pulled down, which makes it hard for people to

speak

up regarding which supplements heal certain specific diseases. There

have

been computers confiscated and health food stores raided of " CANCER "

suppleements so many are afraid to make any claims, in fact the law

prohibits the making of claims for either physical or mental

ailments. only those regimens which are covered by medical insurance

is legal! Anything other than this is regarded as " Illegal " .

Children have been taken away from their parents for withholding

toxic Cancer " cures " (chemo, radiation, etc. etc.)

I know you live in India. We have an adversary over here. They are

better known as Big Pharma. For this reason there are very few

doctors who are interested in researching alternatives.

 

They have been taught pharmaceuticals since medical school. From

what I understand, they have no knowledge of alternatives therefore

they do not believe in them , those who do believe in them only use

them for their immediate families and the reasons are obvious! The

profit motive is great and there is little or no money in

alternatives. They certainly do not take into

consideration the health of the people. Sometimes I think it would

be a privilege to have lived in ancient china. I understand in their

culture, the doctors were not reimbursed until the patient was cured.

Now that I could LIVE with!! :-)
