… und gewinne die Spinne. Wer bis zum 3. März 2010 ein Fan von Biestmilch wird, kann die kleine Spinne aus unserer neuen Biest-Sticker-Edition “Can’t have it, stick it” gewinnen. Diese ganz speziellen Sticker finden Sie seit gestern in unserem I-Store.

Die Sticker haben die reale Größe des Motivs. Die Serie basiert auf der Idee von Anna Kasnyik. Sie macht Sticker von all den Dingen, die sie gerne haben möchten, sich aber nicht leisten können, ob aus finanziellen, zeitlichen oder räumlichen Gründen. Ausgenommen sind Menschen.
Wir haben von den Stickern Widgets gestaltet, die Sie unter diesem Link von biestmilch.com gratis herunterladen können. Hier eine Kostprobe:
Last weekend we met in our office to discuss our brand ambassador program and outline the concept for the program we are currently implementing. The atmosphere was intense nevertheless relaxed. We were a highly motivated small group of people. Have a look, Fritz made an excellent clip, looks a little bit like a part of an old Edgar Wallace movie.
I love short talks, not because I am too lazy to listen to long ones, but because it impresses me if people are able to find images or metaphors respectively that keep what they have to say short and precise. Derek Sivers is a wonderful example of this very rare species. It is not only the shortness which I adore, but I also his view on the world. There is not more to say, listen if you find 2:50 minutes …
Derek Sivers is best known as the founder of CD Baby. A professional musician since 1987, he started CD Baby by accident in 1998 when he was selling his own CD on his website, and friends asked if he could sell theirs, too. CD Baby was the largest seller of independent music on the web, with over $100M in sales for over 150,000 musician clients.
You could definitely call it “a founder’s meeting” for our ambassador program. We were a small group of people who seemed to be cut from the same cloth. And this was really amazing for me, as I had not focused on this aspect when I was contacting the guys whether they want to join our program. On Friday night we went to our favorite Italian restaurant and had lots of fun with quite some red wine. The dynamics of the group seemed promising for the next day.
Saturday morning we met in our office. We were all in a good mood and highly motivated to fill our empty frame with some essential cues for the program. After a brief self-introduction of all participants intense hours of idea exchange followed.
The Group: Reinhard, Karsten, Wolfi, Harry, Mario, Andreas, myself
First of all we mutually agreed upon that everybody’s own life history is essential for getting things to work. Everybody has got a job, private interests, maybe a family, a life in sports and on top of this to put yet another point on the agenda would simply make the program fail. Therefore we tried to extract from everybody’s everyday schedule where biestmilch could fit in without consuming extra energy. We agreed that it needs a certain time of training to get used to the fact that biestmilch is your new everyday companion.

After tomorrow our founder’s meeting for our brand ambassador program takes place, a kind of a kick-off event. Thoughts have been tossed and turned already for several weeks. Yesterday we decided to give it a frame, a real one. This makes it a lot easier to observe things how and where to they progress. I hope that after some time of writing notes, drawing sketches, outlining maps, deleting and rethinking an exciting fabric is going to emerge.
To get an insight into the process of recovery it is necessary to go a little bit into the physiology of muscle adaptation by training. There have been days when we were not having microscopes giving us a view on the micro-texture of this marvelous tissue. Back then people thought the muscle is not able adapt or recover. We had a similar idea about the muscle as we had not very long ago about neurones, either proved to be wrong! Why we could not observe muscle changes was because of the fact that the muscle differentiates and proliferates relatively slowly compared for example to the various connective tissues or mucosal linings.
Today we are well aware of the muscle structures, we know that a muscle is build out of bundles of fibers with different sizes whereas on the tiniest level of the filaments the processes of contraction are initiated. Contraction is a perfectly orchestrated course of events where biochemical actions are transferred into biomechanical movements. As a result myosin and actin filaments shrink against each other.
Biestmilch enthält eine Reihe wichtiger Wachstumsfaktoren und eine sehr große Konzentration an Immunfaktoren. Diese Beobachtung hat dazu geführt, Biestmilch/Colostrum bei Menschen einzusetzen, bei denen unterschiedliche im Rahmen von Immunfunktionsstörungen deregulierte Immun-Prozesse vorliegen. Eine große Anzahl an Studienergebnissen belegt einstweilen, dass Biestmilch/Colostrum das Potenzial besitzt, regulierend in vorhandene Störungen der Immunität einzugreifen. Auch die Funtkionsmechanismen, wie das geschieht, werden zunehmend klarer.
Zu den bisher relativ systematisch untersuchten Bereichen zählen die Behandlung von Darminfektionen, die Unterbindung gastrointestinaler Schäden durch nicht-steroidale Antirrheumatika (NSAID) wie beispielsweise Diclofenac und die Reduktion von Infektionen des oberen Respirationstraktes. Dies sind allesamt für Athleten mit hohem Trainingsaufwand relevante Anwendungsbereiche.
In jüngster Zeit wurde Biestmilch/Colostrum zunehmend eingesetzt, um bestehende, wenngleich mit einem konventionellen Immunstatus schwer nachweisbare Störungen der Immunität bei Athleten zu kompensieren. Wichtig ist in diesem Zusammenhang zu wissen, dass eine Stabilisierung der Immunfunktionen in jedem Fall mit einer Leistungssteigerung und einer verbesserten Regeneration einhergeht. Unsere Erfahrung aus den letzten 10 Jahren bestätigt diese wissenschaftlichen Ergebnisse eindrücklich. Read the rest of this entry »
