Phosphatidylcholine – so far largely unknown but nevertheless indispensable

It is an elementary component of all our cell membranes and although it is already common practice in Asia, America and Eastern Europe to work with it as a therapeutic agent, very few people have ever heard of phosphatidylcholine – or PC for short. We will show you what exactly PC does for our cells and for which indications it is used in medicine in this article.

PC and PPC – What exactly is it?

All cells in our body have a cell membrane surrounding them. However, this membrane does not only act as a shell, but rather forms an important control organ. It controls the cells and everything inside (see picture) and ensures the metabolism of the cell with its environment. In order for the polysaccharides, lipids, nucleic acids and proteins of a cell to work properly, it is therefore important that the cell membrane is fluid, i.e. flexible. How flexible it is depends on the quantitatively predominant molecule, the PC. The PC forms the lipid bilayer, which the cell membrane and the mitochondrial membrane are made up of.

However, this body-own substance can also be provided to the body from the outside. For this purpose the so-called polyenylphosphatidylcholine – PPC for short – is extracted from the soybean. In a complex process, the lipid is highly purified, i.e. freed from all proteins, and is thus also usable by soya allergy sufferers. In medicine it is then used for three different indications, which we will present to you in the following.

Application areas of PPC

For the time being, only a rough overview of the application areas of PPC will be given here. A more detailed insight into the different therapies will be presented in separate articles, which we will link below.

CRT – A fountain of youth for our cells?

The most widespread application of PPC is the so-called Cell-Rejuvenation-Therapy (CRT). In the course of life, cell membrane damage occurs in all people due to saturated fats, alcohol, drugs and environmental toxins. This gradually leads to membrane stiffening, which no longer allows nutrients, metabolic products and cell waste to be properly transferred in and out. This is exactly where CRT, commonly known as Vita-Balance-Cure, comes in. The body is supplied with PPC from the outside, which it transfers into the cell membranes. Due to the regained flexibility of the cell membranes, the cells are more like those of a young person after a completed Vita-Balance-Cure – hence the name Cell Rejuvenation Therapy.

In addition to this obvious and positive effect on all cells of the body, there are also certain indications where a patient particularly benefits from the effects of PPC. The first and probably most treated indication is fatty liver, which is now found in 30% of the population. Whether caused by alcohol, poor nutrition or diabetes, it leads to inflammatory processes in the body and increases the risk of secondary diseases such as diabetes, stroke, heart attack, vascular calcification and kidney disease. CRT can eliminate fatty liver even if the actual problem persists, thus increasing the liver’s detoxification capacity again. In addition, it can also be used for the above-mentioned secondary diseases, such as coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis (calcification of the blood vessels) or kidney disease. Other indications for which CRT is useful and which will be discussed in more detail in later articles: Intoxication (keyword detox), diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, ulcus cruris and psoriasis, rheumatism, stress, burnout and anti-aging.

Intravenous or better orally?

With all this “why?”, the question remains as to “how?”. There are basically two possible forms of CRT – intravenous and/or oral.

Generally treatment is carried out by a trained physician, who administers the PPC intravenously as a cure in several sessions, which take place at intervals of 2-3 days each. There is a distinction between an infusion with DOC or an injection with Nano-PPC. The advantage of Nano-PPC is the high bioavailability, since the active substance can be brought directly to the cells via the blood and is directly introduced into the cells due to its small size. In addition, an injection is significantly faster than an infusion. A disadvantage is the higher product price compared to DOC infusion.

A second option is the oral administration of the new food supplement Memphosan (affiliate link). This orally administered form of PPC is used for three things. Firstly, it serves as a prophylaxis against all the diseases of civilisation already mentioned above. Secondly, it is used after a CRT to maintain the improved cell status. And last but not least, it can also be used in a different dosage instead of an intravenous Vita-Balance cure.

There is no right or wrong here, because in any case you should individually look for the right solution for you. For this you can contact your doctor, pharmacist, alternative practitioner or simply contact the staff of the Network directly.

Lipolysis – the fat-away injection

In 1995, Dr. Rittes, Brazil, discovered another benefit of PPC, which was further developed into a standardized therapy by the Network-Globalhealth – lipolysis, commonly known as fat-away injection. In lipolysis, PPC is injected directly into those fat pads that do not disappear even through diet or sport, such as the double chin, the so-called lovehandles, saddlebags, forearms etc. The active ingredient destroys the fat cells locally and helps the body to transport the released fat via the liver. As a minimally invasive therapy, it is usually necessary to carry out the treatment 2-3 times, each at intervals of about 8 weeks, in order to achieve the desired result. For patients who are willing to be patient, lipolysis is a gentler and cheaper alternative to the otherwise offered, more massive procedure of liposuction.

Combination with other therapies to reduce side effects

Apart from its effect as a cell therapy agent in its own right, or as a means of removing local fat deposits, PPC can also be used in combination with other therapies. Due to its above-mentioned effect on various diseases of civilisation, the dose of other prescribed drugs can be reduced, which automatically reduces the generally known side effects of those drugs. A good example of this are statins, which are prescribed for high cholesterol levels, to prevent heart attacks in people with high blood pressure or diabetes, and as secondary prophylaxis after a heart attack. The side effects range from muscle pain, gastrointestinal complaints and headaches to liver dysfunction. The risk of these side effects is automatically reduced if a lower dose is taken, making the low side effect PPC cure an ideal companion. Possible indications here are: Diabetes, heart disease, atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, kidney disease, neurological diseases and age-related diseases.

Concluding words

As you can see, phosphatidylcholine is quite a powerhouse, which as a body-own substance takes over a variety of tasks. Used as a therapeutic agent it can already be called an “old remedy”, which has been used for decades and for which there are thousands of studies. Due to its age, no patents can be filed for it, which makes it an extremely uninteresting substance for the pharmaceutical industry – one of the reasons why one hears very little about it in the mainstream. All the more reason for us to be happy to see that treatment with PPC is becoming more and more important also in this country and that its benefits are therefore becoming available to an ever larger audience. We hope that our series of information about PPC and its applications will help us to do our own part to further increase knowledge and interest in this very important component of our cells.
