Bioresonance therapy can treat depression
"... bioresonance therapy may be useful in the treatment of recurrent major depressive disorders with moderate depressive episodes, independently or as an adjunct to antidepressant drugs. aimed at reducing the level of depression. The conducted studies showed a statistically significant difference in the treatment methods used in the analyzed groups (p = 0.0001) and it was found that the therapy accelerated the healing process in patients with depressive disorders. "

The use of bioresonance therapy for the correction of an overtrained athlete's syndrome
Results: Studies have shown that the use of bioresonance therapy significantly increases the parasympathetic effect on the heart rhythm, reduces the pressure on the central contour of its regulation, contributes to the "economization" of heart function; has antihypertensive effect (more clearly in relation to systolic blood pressure (SBP)), normalizes blood pressure (BP) variability in patients with baseline BP instability, and significantly reduces the time index in relation to blood pressure monitoring; in addition, BRT normalizes the circadian rhythm of BP and corrects the rate of morning diastolic blood pressure (DBP) rise.
Conclusion: Bioresonance therapy can be considered as a method of correction of overtraining syndrome in athletes with increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system.

Evidence for the effectiveness of the bioresonance method in quitting smoking: a pilot study
"..after treatment, the success rate in the verum group differed significantly from the results in the placebo group. Also, the subjective health status after treatment and subjective assessment of efficacy, tested after 1 week, were significantly more positive among participants in the active bioresonance therapy group than among those in the active bioresonance group. placebo group No adverse effects were observed.
Conclusion: According to the results of this pilot study, bioresonance therapy is clinically effective in quitting smoking with no adverse side effects. "

Effectiveness of the bioresonance method on human health
The treated patients reported mainly nasal symptoms (61.09%), followed by ocular, respiratory, skin and gastrointestinal symptoms. Most patients (90%) have no symptoms or show a significant improvement in symptoms after 12 months of bioresonance treatment. These results show that the bioresonance intervention had a significant effect on the improvement of symptoms, and this improvement is evident even 12 months after the intervention; p <0.01.

USDA food composition data changes for 43 horticultural crops, 1950 to 1999
The findings showed steady declines in the amounts of protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin A, riboflavin (vitamin B2), and vitamin C over the past half-century.
6% decrease in protein content
9% decrease in phosphorus
15% decrease in iron content
15% decrease in vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
16% decrease in calcium
18% decrease in vitamin A
38% decrease in vitamin B (riboflavin)
'We suggest that any actual decline is most easily explained by the variation in crop varieties between 1950 and 1999, where there may be trade-offs between yield and nutrient content.'

Historical changes in the mineral content of fruits and vegetables
The eight minerals that are usually analyzed are Na, K, Ca, Mg, P, Fe, Cu, Zn. A comparison of the mineral content of 20 fruits and 20 vegetables grown in the 1930s and 1980s (published in the UK Government's Food Composition Charts) shows some clear reductions in the mineral content. It indicates that there are statistically significant reductions in the levels of Ca, Mg, Cu and Na in vegetables and Mg, Fe, Cu and K in fruits. The only mineral that showed no significant differences over the 50-year period was phosphorus P. The water content increased significantly and the dry matter decreased significantly in the fruit. He points out that during these 50 years a nutritional problem related to food quality has developed. The changes could be due to anomalies in measurement or sampling, changes in the food system, changes in cultivated varieties, or changes in agricultural practice.

Nutritional decline in fruits and vegetables: what is the evidence?
Recent studies of historical data on nutrient content in fruit and vegetables from 50 to 70 years show apparent median reductions in minerals, vitamins and proteins of 5% to 40% or more in food groups, especially vegetables. ... the extensive evidence is consistent with more definitive studies and seems hard to dismiss.
In fruits, vegetables and grains, typically 80% to 90% of the dry matter yield is carbohydrate. So, when growers choose for high yields, they are actually choosing largely for high carbohydrate content, not knowing that dozens of other nutrients and thousands of phytochemicals will increase in proportion to the yield.

The cultivation of micronutrients in basic food plants from the perspective of human nutrition
More than three billion people are currently malnourished with micronutrients and vitamins, resulting in enormous social costs, including learning disabilities among children, increased morbidity and mortality, lower worker productivity and high health care costs, all factors that reduce human potential, happiness, and domestic economic development. Nutritional deficiencies (e.g. iron, zinc, vitamin A) are responsible for nearly two-thirds of child deaths worldwide.
