Biest Booster – no gel, but nevertheless excellent stuff to bridge troughs

The Biest Booster does not work like the carbohydrates in gels, it turns on the metabolism by increasing energy availability. The Booster stimulates in case of neuromuscular fatigue. To take a Booster in the morning before the swim start, if the body is still lazy and slow, or during the race after bouts of extreme exertion, whether it is on the bike or on the run, works just fantastic, all those say who tried the super cube in these situations. It can compensate for energy wholes in training without consuming calories, a favorable effect, if weight reduction is your goal. Instead of taking 2 gels, take a Booster! That’s it and off you go!

Biest Booster

Moreover, Biestmilch strengthens the immune system, helps to dampens stress and mood swings. It speeds up healing processes in case of injuries or infections.
The Biest Booster contains 4 grams of Biestmilch and 500 milligrams of Guarana (natural caffein extract, equals 100mg of pure caffein (a cup of coffee contains 90-150mg of caffein).

Guarana has got some advantages compared to caffein in coffee, you might be interested in: it kicks in smoothly step by step, and has got a long-lasting effect on the central nervous system of round about 6 hours. On top of this Guarana works as a disinfectant for stomach and guts, special sensitive body parts of endurance athletes. The booster is for chewing, does not contain gluten, soy or preservatives.

The Salty Sweater – yet another Myth of Sports Science?

Since several months I had in mind to write about cramping, sweating and electrolyte/salt substitution. It is a topic widely promoted and rarely questioned. Electrolyte sports drinks and salt substitution concepts are based on the unproven assumption that there are athletes that lose especially high amounts of sodium, and that athletes lose more salt than fluid under extreme weather conditions. The web is full of recommendations based on sloppy arguments or lacking any scientific grounds. Before I introduce to you a different thought concept that seems to have much more logic to me than the electrolyte depletion model, I would like to present to you a simple calculation that gives clear-cut evidence of the fact that dehydration is not causing cramps. I quote Jonathan Dugas and Ross Tucker in their book “Runner’s Body”.

Some words on the detox hype!

For many people the beginning of the New Year is the time of detox. Therefore I wasted some thoughts on this issue.

To flush the body from toxins! A slogan well known based on a thought concept that dates back into the ancient times of Greece. Essentially, this theory held that the human body was filled with four basic substances, called four humors, which are in balance when a person is healthy. All diseases and disabilities resulted from an excess or deficit of one of these four humors. The four humors were identified as black bile, yellow bile, phlegm, and blood. This theory was actively practiced until the end of the 19th century. Methods of treatment like bloodletting, emetics and purges were aimed at expelling a harmful surplus of a humor. Other methods used herbs and foods associated with a particular humor to counter symptoms of disease, for instance: people who had a fever and were sweating were considered hot and wet and therefore given substances associated with cold and dry (source: Wikipedia)
But many of the old metaphors our ancestors used for explaining sicknesses are still alive today. The advent of modern science was not able to change the thinking of hundreds of years. Deeply engraved into our body is the view that toxins are piling up in our body, debris we need to rid our body from.
The imagination to cleanse body and soul from harming compounds is thus very old. The industry of detox products takes huge advantage of these ancient patterns in our thinking far beyond scientific evidence. I don’t want to indicate that scientific evidence is right and the old theory is stupid and inefficient. But I think we should be aware of the fact, from where our strong desire for purification comes, and why we may be an easy prey for an industry that knows about our weaknesses so well.

Some points you may want to consider (published by sense about science) before getting roped in the detox affairs:
Usually a healthy body’s liver, gut and kidneys are able detoxify your system. Another “detoxification system” or better filter is the lymphatic system and the skin. Only few chemicals / toxins can penetrate the skin without destroying it.
The term toxins is fairly vague. Whether a compound is toxic or not depends very much on the ingested dose… water can be toxic, so can be oxygen, this is what our Western science tells us.
Only in case of an intoxication you need a detox-ification.

Our Natural Science says:

  1. Have glass of water to help you rehydrate
  2. Eat a balanced diet
  3. Get a good night’s sleep

Physical activity boosts immunity and why you may need biestmilch anyway!

A growing body of research is showing that regular exercise—as simple as a brisk 30- to 45-minute walk five times a week—can boost the body’s immune system, increasing the circulation of natural killer cells that fight off viruses and bacteria. And exercise has been shown to improve the body’s response to the influenza vaccine, making it more effective at keeping the virus at bay.
As you can see the recommendations of Dr. David Nieman, director of Appalachian State University’s Human Performance Lab in Kannapolis are quite moderate. Here one of his quotes published in the Wall Street Journal:

“No pill or nutritional supplement has the power of near-daily moderate activity in lowering the number of sick days people take,” says David Nieman, N.C. Dr. Nieman has conducted several randomized controlled studies showing that people who walked briskly for 45 minutes, five days a week over 12 to 15 weeks had fewer and less severe upper respiratory tract infections, such as colds and flu. These subjects reduced their number of sick days 25% to 50% compared with sedentary control subjects, he says.

But there are other studies that show how easy you can overdo it and provoke an impaired immunity.

There is also evidence that too much intense exercise can reduce immunity. Research is showing that more than 90 minutes of high-intensity endurance exercise can make athletes susceptible to illness for up to 72 hours after the exercise session. This is important information for those who compete in longer events such as marathons or triathlons.

Intense exercise seems to cause a temporary decrease in immune system function. Research has found that during intense physical exertion, the body produces certain hormones that temporarily lower immunity.

Cortisol and adrenaline, known as the stress hormones, raise blood pressure and cholesterol levels and suppress the immune system. This effect has been linked to the increased susceptibility to infection in endurance athletes after extreme exercise (such as marathon running or Ironman-distance triathlon training).

This data is clearly indicating why biestmilch/colostrum as a unique immune strengthening  substance is justified in endurance sports, and nothing to laugh about. Yes, this still happens which is strange because biestmilch is detrimental for mammals to survive the first weeks after birth, actually nothing to ridicule.

The Biestmilch Island

We are currently in the midst of a flu epidemic. Whilst nobody cares much about the diagnosis swine flu anymore, it became without any doubts a fact that whole Europe is suffering from the flu. In our vicinity  – one may say – crowds of people are sick. Many a workplace is deserted, gyms and public traffic means are empty, schools have been closed…
Our team who is – I have to admit – currently on extraordinary high doses of biestmilch is and has been healthy all a along. We all work hard, we meet a lot of people, nevertheless our health stability is amazing. You get so robust taking biestmilch over years. We all feel like living on an island, an island that is not defined by geographical borders, but its state of immunity. Immunity thus makes the difference, immunity is the demarcation line to the rest of the world. Biestmilch island therefore got offsprings all over Europe ;-)

Would be interesting for us “biestmilchers” :-) to get to know from you whether you got through autumn without a flu and how you managed to do so. Those out there who are living on an island like ours too, please let us know.

To be open about it: there is a conflict of interest, because we really are convinced of this substance and we do market biestmilch.

We have a new product: Biestmilch hand-made soaps

The skin is an organ that has to compensate stress factors from the inside and the outside 24 hours a day for a  life time. It is a gigantic immune organ that has got its own stress system. Imbalances in stress processing can lead to various skin diseases, of which all of them have got an inflammatory component. Biestmilch (colostrum) is well known for its anti-inflammatory properties, therefore we have developed this soap that can help to maintain and bring back balance into your skin. The soap contains 1 gram of biestmilch.

This all natural soap will be available in our store from mid December. Currently the soaps still need to harden which take 4 weeks.

Prevention of Influenza Episodes With Colostrum Compared With Vaccination in Healthy and High-Risk Cardiovascular Subjects: The Epidemiologic Study in San Valentino

a study by Maria Rosaria Cesarone, MD, Gianni Belcaro, MD, PhD, Andrea Di Renzo, BA, et al. from San Valentino-Spoltore Vascular Screening Project, Department of Biomedical Sciences, G D’annunzio University, Chieti, Pescara, Italy.

Here the original study

The flu is currently really spreading around us, and of course, the more people are infected the more people get infected. Why? Yeah, because people are the primary source of the infection, be it the swine flu or the “normal flu” – you are aware of the fact that both are H1N1 viruses. I wrote about it many weeks ago.
For the time being I really booster myself with lots of biestmilch, and so I advise all of you, who are not convinced of the vaccination to do so as well. A strong immunity that is what you need not to come down with a flu.

Swine flu shot campaign at Walmart

Today is our first day in Kailua-Kona. What you usually do on your first day here, and so we did too, is shopping. First goal was Walmart to get the basics for our condo. Meanwhile I had completely forgotten that the swine flu panic was still on. On our journey we hadn’t met any controls, our temperature was not checked anywhere, nor did we undergo any other examinations. We as biestmilch junkies feel safe anyway ;-)   … And then we arrived at Walmart this morning, and I couldn’t believe it, how patiently people were cuing in front of a desk with little medical odds and ends. They were actually waiting for their swine flu shot.

What would they do, if they knew that biestmilch is as a matter of fact more effective than a flu shot? They would probably unbelievingly laugh at us.
