Agni im wissenschaftlichen Kontext zur Parkinson Krankheit

Timothy Sampson und Sarkis Mazmanian vom California Institute of Technology in Pasadena gingen der Vermutung nach, das Darmbakterien, deren Anzahl die Zellen des menschlichen Körpers um den Faktor 10 übertrifft, Substanzen bilden, die vom Darm resorbiert über die Blutbahn ins Gehirn gelangen. Im Verdacht stehen kurzkettige Fettsäuren wie Acetat, Propionat oder Butyrat, die relativ rasch resorbiert werden.

Ayurveda & Parkinson

Warum Ayurveda, in dem Ernährung & Verdaung die unumstößlichen Hauptsäulen sind, so erfolgreich ist:

Zusammenfassung

Der Darm ist nach dem Gehirn die zweitgrößte Ansammlung von Nervenzellen & nicht nur das Gehirn beeinflusst über den Nervus vagus die Darmtätigkeit, die „Hirn-Darm-Achse“ funktioniert auch vice versa. So produziert der Darm Dopamin, Serotonin und andere Substanzen, die im Gehirn als Neurotransmitter fungieren.
Wissenschaftler gehen mittlerweile von einem Zusammenhang Parkinson - Darmentzündungen aus.

Parkinson, Dopamin, α-Synuclein

Der Darm ist nach dem Gehirn die zweitgrößte Ansammlung von Nervenzellen und es ist klar dass beide Organe miteinander verknüpft sind. 

Dabei beeinflusst nicht nur das Gehirn über den Nervus vagus die Darmtätigkeit sondern die „Hirn-Darm-Achse“ funktioniert offensichtlich auch in die andere Richtung. So produziert der Darm Dopamin, Serotonin und andere Substanzen, die im Darm als Hormone, im Gehirn aber als Neurotransmitter fungieren. 

Morbus Parkinson:

Auffällig ist auch, dass viele Erkrankungen des Gehirns mit Darmbeschwerden einher gehen. Menschen mit Morbus Parkinson leiden häufig unter Obstipation, die der Hirnkrankheit um Jahre vorausgeht.[1]

Hinzu kommt, dass das Protein α-Synuclein, welches sich durch Aggregation zuerst zusammenklumpt, sich danach im Gehirn ablagert und nach heutiger Kenntnis die Ursache der Erkrankung ist, auch im Darm und im Nervus vagus nachgewiesen wurde. Einige Neuroanatomen vermuten sogar, dass der Morbus Parkinson eine Prionen-Erkrankung ist, bei der mit der Nahrung aufgenommene Proteine, wie bei der Creutzfeldt-Jakob-Krankheit, über Nerven ins Gehirn transportiert werden und dort eine fatale Kettenreaktion auslösen. 

Der Nachweis von Alpha-Synuclein im Gehirn und Darm sagt erst mal nichts über den Übertragungsweg aus, denkbar ist der afferente Weg vom Darm ins Gehirn, oder umgekehrt der efferente Weg vom Gehirn in den Darm.

- α-Synuclein ist ein sehr häufiges präsynaptisches Protein, das ca. 1 % des gesamten löslichen Gehirnproteins ausmacht  

-Parkinosn Symptome treten bei mehr als 60 % Dopamin Ausfall auf

Was ist Bewusstsein? Im Gespräch mit Christof Koch

Disease & Health by Dr. Vijay Murthy

A balanced state of dosha is not just health but just absence of disease. It is necessary to get involved & look at factors like lifestyle, diet etc.
VPK are changing with every moment, they are dynamic principles that react with time, environment and lifestyle/ diet as mentioned above. And because of this can never truly be in perfect balance.
When you attempt to bring balance to the doshas this in itself reduces the chances of disease.

Hier ein Artikel über neu entdeckte Funktion der Lunge. Sie gibt nicht nur Sauerstoff ab und nimmt neuen auf, sondern produziert auch Thrombozyten und Stammzellen! Diese Funktion war nach bisherigem Stand der Wissenschaft dem Knochenmark vorbehalten. Die in der Lunge produzierten Vorläuferzellen der Thrombozyten bildeten im Knochenmark dann die Leukozyten, sie spielen also eine wichtige Rolle zur Immunabwehr.

Ojas part 1

If I were to ask a roomful of people the question, “Who would like to have more vitality and greater resistance to stress?” every hand in the room would go up, right? We all want to feel energetic, vital, happy, and healthy. Ayurveda recognizes that preserving vitality and resisting stress and disease are critical to our sense of well being and that some people are able to do so better than others. Why is this? I’d like to introduce you to the concept of ojas, which accordimng Ayurveda is the stabilizing essence in the body and mind that allows us to resist stress, prevent disease, and gives us strength, immunity and endurance. Through this article I offer insight into why preserving and building ojas is critical to your health and well-being. I'd like also offer some simple ways in which you can do so.

Ojas is one of the most important concepts in Ayurvedic treatment and is essentially an end goal of Ayurvedic healing. Deepak Chopra gives a wonderful definition of ojas as “the pure and subtle substance that’ is the extracted from food that has been completely digested". Ojas circulates throughout the bodily tissues and heart, sustaining the physical self, bringing clarity to the mind and balancing the emotions. In short, when the body produces ojas, the vital nectar of life, we feel blissful. The cells singing with happiness because both the mind and the body are receiving the nourishment they need. ”When we have strong ojas, we experience healthy tissues as well as mental and emotional stability. We also resist stress and disease, and experience strong immunity, endurance and vitality. When we have a depletion of ojas in the physical body, we experience lowered immunity, fatigue, weakness and, ultimately, disease. In the mind, ojas plays the role of providing stability. A stable mind means we are less affected by day-to-day stress and stimulation. There is a solid mental “container” for thought and emotion. Symptoms of low mental ojas reflect an ungrounded mind in which a person can lose control of thoughts and emotions, or experience mood swings and other forms of mental imbalance. The good news is that Ayurveda provides specific protocol for preserving and rebuilding our vitality and immunity through natural means.

There are several ways to build and preserve ojas, and i will touch upon a few:

• Healthy digestion: Ojas is the end result of healthy digestion. When we are able to break down food properly, we’re able to cultivate this essence that protects and preserves the functioning of every cell.
• Understanding your mind-body constitution: When one understands the nature of his or her inherent constitution, s/he is able to eat and live in a way that preserves and cultivates vitality and immunity, rather than depletes it.
• Eating appropriate ojas-building foods: Specific, nourishing foods are better at building ojas than others. Healthy digestion is key for breaking these foods down properly, but eating the appropriate foods to build the proper vital essence is the other half of the equation.
• Sufficient mental and physical rest: One of the primary causes of low ojas is continual over-exertion or over-stimulation. Mental or physical “burnout” or chronic fatigue are examples in which a person has depleted their ojas as a result of too much mental and physical activity.
• Meditation: I can’t emphasize the importance of meditation enough! In modern life our senses are constantly bombarded with stimulation, which can easily deplete our systems and destabilize the mind.
• Time in nature: The sensory impressions in nature are key to preserving ojas and are incredibly healing to body, mind and spirit.

When I first started on my Ayurvedic journey, I was a classic example of someone with depleted ojas. I was dealing with chronic fatigue, pain, weakness and unstable moods as a result of having decreased my ojas from a lifestyle and diet that were inappropriate for my constitution. After having dealt with these chronic issues for so many years, a light bulb went off when I began learning about the concept of ojas, how this vital, protective essence became less and less and how it can be rebuilt through Ayurveda.

Through my years studying and practicing Ayurveda, I’ve encountered so many people with stories like mine, who suffered from poor health and chronic conditions, but now experience robust health, vitality and a sense of peace and contentment. This potential exists for all of us. Through conscious effort we all have the power to cultivate optimal physical, mental and emotional health through returning to the medicine of Mother Nature.
