Lecture by Prof. Dr. med. Christian Mang on June 06.24
In this lecture, Prof. Mang explains how much "nerve power" is hidden in our gut. The gut is much more than just a digestive organ! It "talks" to the brain, it releases hormones, it "thinks"! We all know the saying: "My gut says no!" In this hybrid lecture (= live in the lecture hall and via streaming transmission) we can learn about the sophisticated services our intestines provide for the entire organism...

Good health resolutions for the new year... Will they be kept?
Prof. Dr. med. Christian Mang explains why it is so difficult to keep good New Year's resolutions.
Especially when it comes to health, we often experience the demonstrative breaking apart and throwing away of the "last" pack of cigarettes on New Year's Eve, we hear the post-Christmas vow to "never" eat so many sweets again or the resolution is made to do more sport in future.
Why is the dream of a "new" life often "shattered" in the second week of January?
When God caught the sun! - when Corona presses on the mind
This time, Prof. Christian Mang explains the consequences and psychological stress resulting from the pandemic: We all realized that the corona period has interfered with our lives more than we originally thought. Prof. Mang explains how quickly a smooth transition between a loss of well-being and helplessness in need of therapy can creep in and which health-oriented options can lead to ways out of this misery.

Lecture Prof. Dr. Mang "Dr. House Course"
As last year at Christmas, the Occupational Health Management (OHM) invites you to a Dr. House lecture. Professor Mang uses an episode of the popular hospital series "Dr. House" to explain some clinical pictures in which the employees at RPTU are allowed to act as doctors.
Aspects that lead to a disease are discussed together and questions are considered that help with the puzzle of finding a diagnosis. The aspects of the diseases discussed are embedded in the plot of one of the Christmas episodes that appear in the various seasons of Dr. House. In view of Christmas under Corona conditions, we all want to awaken a little "the doctor in us"...

Professor Mang will explain various aspects of the Covid-19 disease and what needs to be considered in terms of prevention.

Bitter pills - Is conventional medicine "bad"? / How much nature is in our modern medicines?
As has been repeatedly mentioned in recent topics, active ingredients found in nature often play a central and leading role in modern drug therapy. People always believe that conventional medicine only works with "evil" chemical drugs! Not at all! Prof. Mang from the Institute of Pharmacology at the Mainz University Medical Center provides an insight into modern pharmacotherapy that will amaze you. It is surprising how much nature there is in "evil" conventional medicine. The audience will learn that there is archaeological evidence that the Neanderthals already knew and used a precursor of "aspirin"! The central role of snake venom and lizard saliva has already been mentioned in previous events. "Natural secrets" from tumor therapy or internal and general medicine will be "revealed" in this lecture!
But Prof. Mang warns that it is not possible to do completely without chemicals, as the "good" natural substances contain considerable impurities. In addition, what the very herbalist Theophrastus Bombastus Paracelsus von Hohenheim formulated centuries ago applies: "Sola dosis facit venenum!" (Only the dose determines whether something is poisonous!), because you can even die from water if you drink 8 liters in a short time!
To conclude our health series, Prof. Dr. med. Christian Mang reveals to the audience why he would prefer to take the company tablet when using digitalis
instead of brewing a tea from foxglove or lily of the valley.

Life is not always sweet - Why adult-onset diabetes could be avoided
Who hasn't experienced this irrepressible desire for something sweet? Why has evolution endowed us with this "craving"? Why can we often not stop ourselves when it comes to sweets? We all like the sweet temptation! However, as always in life, this temptation can turn against us and significantly shorten our lives! In this episode of our health series, Prof. Mang discusses with those present why sugar can "scratch" us from the inside out? Why does sugar drive us into a kind of addiction? And why does diabetes mellitus cause severe vascular damage long before the sugar levels in the blood are measurably high? Why do these vascular changes lead to blindness, amputated feet, heart attacks and strokes?
Prof. Mang takes a critical view of the current treatment methods, which ultimately only worsen the situation in the long term! And he gives an outlook on why the saliva of a North American crustacean lizard could be a great hope for diabetics in the coming decades.
