The fat and cholesterol lie – promoter of fear and stress

A standpoint, not an encyclopedia entry. An expressly personal, worldview-based view by D. Harald Alke. The factual, source-backed placement stands in the encyclopedia entry Cholesterol.

I would like to portray how, from my view, much is worked with fear around nutrition – and how this permanent stress wears people down. After the 2nd World War, US margarine corporations are said to have commissioned two German professors, who published a series of “research results” according to which margarine was good and butter harmful. Only 20 years later did one of the by-then-retired professors publish a retraction. Soon after that began, from my view, the “cholesterol lie” and the anti-fat campaign. A commission lowered the limit value for cholesterol – and at once many additional people counted as in need of treatment. I have never believed this connection uncritically. Butter tastes good to me, and I eat other fat quite gladly too. My blood values are completely normal.

If you want to know how things stand with you, have your doctor do the blood analysis with the enzyme values that is possible today, and a urine analysis – that is sensible provision. The normal values are given with it today. See for yourself whether a value deviates distinctly; if so, discuss it medically. And if everything is within the range, do not let anyone frighten you.

The BBC “hardness test”

In 2002 a team of the BBC travelled to the Czech Republic – TV people, a doctor and a test person. This person ate fried duck or goose three times a day, as much as they wanted. After a week their cholesterol values had sunk distinctly, and they had lost 2 kg. Please understand me rightly: I do not want to talk anyone into eating fatty duck daily – it is about the reported effect. Such examples make me doubt the simple “fat-is-the-enemy” narrative.

Where do the connections lie?

The scientist Hans Selye defined the processes in stress. My son Tobias gathered these research results together in his studies (see the encyclopedia entry Cholesterol). From the facts it emerges, among other things, that permanent stress – for example fear of doomsday scenarios – can contribute to psychosomatic complaints, weight gain, anxiety and frustration. Cholesterol is in this a important building block: the body needs fat in order to form steroid hormones for coping with strain. Whoever strictly abstains from fat can – so my conviction – rather even increase the feeling of stress.

From my view, much insecurity can be produced through a fear-laden nutrition debate. And various economic interests earn along from insecurity. That I say expressly as a subjective assessment and as a critique of structures and incentives – not as a reproach to individual doctors, who treat their patients to the best of their knowledge. For the individual human and in families, constant insecurity leads rather to an irritable climate and tensions than to joy of life.

My conclusion

I think a relaxed dealing with eating does most people good. Relax – and then eat what really does you good. From me you get no diet prescribed; ask your belly what it would like. Whoever knows their way around kinesiology may test out for themselves which foods agree with them. (That is a personal suggestion, no medical recommendation.)

And whoever finds Hatha Yoga or Reiki too little may try once the Energy Training developed by me on the basis of Kundalini Yoga (more under Methods). There so much power becomes free that all previous methods can be played through anew on a new level. Just do it!

By way of accompaniment, two channelled messages of the light-being Horus from 1991:

The New 4 Commandments: Purity of the soul is the 1st commandment Love of neighbour is the 2nd commandment Mercy on the evil is the 3rd commandment Righteousness on earth and in heaven is the 4th commandment

The Universal Law:

1. Everything is contained in Everything.
2. Everything mirrors itself in Everything.
3. Everything is created out of the Light.

“Life on earth is a tender blossom of creation, guard it well!” – Horus. Sat nam.

„Wasser fließt in eine Senke und füllt sie aus, bevor es weiter fließt. So macht es der Gebildete mit der Erkenntnis der Wahrheit: Ehe er nicht auf einer Stufe volle Meisterschaft erreicht, geht er nicht weiter.“ – Mong Dsi (372–289 v. Chr.)

(Water flows into a hollow and fills it before it flows on. So does the cultivated one with the knowledge of truth: before reaching full mastery on one level, they do not go further. – Mengzi / Mencius, 372–289 BCE)
