Ποιος είναι ο Δρ. Matthias Rath
Δρ. Matthias Rath |
Ο Dr. med. Matthias Rath ήταν ο εμπνευστής της επανάστασης στη
φυσική πρόληψη και αντιμετώπιση της αθηροσκλήρωσης, της κύριας αιτίας
του εμφράγματος του μυοκαρδίου και του εγκεφαλικού επεισοδίου.
Ο Δρ. Matthias Rath γεννήθηκε το 1955 στη Στουτγκάρδη. Μετά την
ολοκλήρωση των ιατρικών σπουδών του εργάστηκε ως γιατρός και επιστήμονας
στο Πανεπιστημιακό Νοσοκομείο Eppendorf στο Αμβούργο και στό
καρδιολογικό κέντρο στο Βερολίνο.
Ο Δρ. Rath ανακάλυψε πως η απόφαση σχετικά με την υγεία και την
ασθένεια λαμβάνεται στο επίπεδο των κυττάρων του οργανισμού και όχι στο
επίπεδο των επιμέρους οργάνων του. Με τον τρόπο αυτό συνέβαλλε
αποφασιστικά στη διάδοση αυτής της επιστημονικής ανακάλυψης: Ενδημικές
ασθένειες όπως το έμφραγμα του μυοκαρδίου, το εγκεφαλικό επεισόδιο ή ο
καρκίνος οφείλονται σε χρόνια έλλειψη βιταμινών σε εκατομμύρια κύτταρα
του οργανισμού. Η χορήγηση επαρκών ποσοτήτων κυτταρικών θρεπτικών ουσιών
μπορεί να προλάβει την εμφάνιση ασθενειών. Χάρη στην Κυτταρική ιατρική
που ανέπτυξε ο Δρ. Rath, η υγεία είναι κατανοητή και οικονομικά προσιτή
για τον καθένα.
Ο Δρ. Rath συνέχισε την εργασία του Linus Pauling, ο οποίος τιμήθηκε
δύο φορές με βραβείο Νόμπελ, μετά το θάνατό του το 1994. Ίδρυσε ένα
διεθνές ινστιτούτο έρευνας και εξέλιξης με έδρα τη Santa Clara στην
Καλιφόρνια. Εκεί, εργαζόμαστε με προσήλωση για την εξάλειψη ενδημικών
ασθενειών με τη βοήθεια αποτελεσματικών και προσανατολισμένων ως προς το
εκάστοτε αίτιο φυσικών θεραπειών.
Όλα τα αποτελέσματα των ερευνών περιέχονται περιληπτικά σε βιβλία
απλοποιημένης επιστήμης, φυλλάδια, CD-ROM, βίντεο και DVD.
Dr. Matthias Rath - Biography

Dr. Rath was born in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1955. After graduating
from medical school he worked as a physician and researcher at the
University Clinic of Hamburg, Germany and the German Heart Center in
Berlin. His research focused on the causes of arteriosclerosis and
cardiovascular disease.
In 1987, Dr. Rath
discovered the connection between vitamin C deficiency and a new risk
factor for heart disease- lipoprotein(a). After publication of these research
findings in the American Heart Association journal “Arteriosclerosis,”
Dr. Rath accepted an invitation to join two-time Nobel Laureate Linus
Pauling. In 1990 he went to the United States to become the first Director
of Cardiovascular Research at the Linus Pauling Institute in Palo Alto,
California.
Dr. Rath worked together with
the late Nobel Laureate in various areas of nutritional research. The
two scientists became close personal friends who shared common humanistic
values, including their determination for peace and justice. In 1994,
shortly before his death, Linus Pauling stated: “There is no doubt
in my mind that I was thinking about Dr. Rath as my successor.”
Today Dr. Rath heads a research
and development institute in nutritional and Cellular Medicine. His institute
is conducting basic research and clinical studies to scientifically document
the health benefits of micronutrients in fighting a multitude of diseases.
Dr. Rath is the founder of the scientific concept of Cellular Medicine,
the systematic introduction into clinical medicine of the biochemical
knowledge of the role of micronutrients as biocatalysts in a multitude
of metabolic reactions at the cellular level. Applying this scientific
knowledge in the fight against diseases, he and his research team have
identified the following common health conditions as being primarily caused
by chronic deficiencies of micronutrients:
- Arteriosclerosis (the cause of coronary heart disease and stroke)
- High Blood Pressure
- Heart Failure
- Irregular Heart Beat
- Diabetic circulatory problems
- Osteoporosis
- Many forms of cancer
- Immune deficiencies as a precondition for a variety of infectious diseases, including AIDS
Dr. Rath is a member of the
New York Academy of Sciences, the American Heart Association and other
scientific organizations. His popular science books “Why Animals
Don’t get Heart Attacks – but People Do” and “Cancer”
have sold several million copies in ten languages.
" Fighting for a medical breakthrough against existing interests
and dogmas is like sailing on the ocean," says Dr. Rath, "the
wind that blows in your face becomes your compass." And he adds:
"You don't have to be a university professor or Nobel Laureate; what
counts is that heart attacks, strokes, cancer and many other diseases
will essentially be unknown in the future."
Dr. Rath is an outspoken advocate for patient rights and for free access
to natural health worldwide. His advocacy continues to be instrumental
in preventing a global ban on natural health therapies on behalf of the
pharmaceutical industry. To protect their global market of patented drugs,
this industry is seeking a global ban on preventive and therapeutic health
information in relation to natural, non-patentable therapies by abusing
the United Nations “Codex Alimentarius” (Food Standard) Commission.
In recognition of his civil courage against
the pharmaceutical interests and his efforts on behalf of the people
of the world, he received the prestigious 2001 “Bulwark
of Liberty Award” from
the American Preventive Medical Association.
Dr. Rath pioneered a new way of responsible enterpreneurship:
all profits from the sales of the micronutrient programs developed at
his institute go to the Dr. Rath Health Foundation, a non-profit
organization, focusing on research and education in natural health
worldwide.
In addition, this non-profit organization supports a broad
spectrum of activities in the field of human health, social justice
and – most importantly –
in the preservation of peace. In this effort Dr. Rath sees the work of
his Foundation as following in the spirit of Nobel Peace prizewinners
like Linus Pauling, Albert Schweitzer, Martin Luther King Jr. and
Nelson Mandela.
Dr. Rath comes from a modest background.
His parents were farmers in Southern Germany who passed their humanitarian
values on to their children. "These values," says Dr. Rath,
"are still a driving force for me. My life is an example that you
do not have to be born privileged to make a contribution to a better world."
Scientific Publications by Dr. Rath:
During his career Dr. Rath has made scientific discoveries that
rank among the most important discoveries of all time in the field
of medicine.
Most importantly, his groundbreaking discoveries in the field of
medicine will improve the health and life of all people for generations
to come.
