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.

 

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.
