Pier (pierre) ALBRECHT – The pursuit of happiness – Chap 5
“During many years of professional experience I know that my patients are seeking – through its physical improvement – achieving happiness. This is why I decided to write about this topic and present it in the form of chapters to the readers of Transform Magazine. “
Peace and inner joy
Happiness does not exist, we could only find in books, stories, movies. Then Jesus said “it is useless to pursue happiness in this world.”
As stated in previous chapters, the problem is that happiness depends on factors external to us. And these factors control bit. In theory it seems that we work hard to earn the money necessary to our happiness, we can develop qualities needed to be seduced and find love, we can monitor our health to maintain a life of good health, but very few do.
The truth is that the current trend of people is much work and care through sports, medicine and cosmetic surgery, which is slowly changing its way of being. With the money, beauty and health get seduced, but not love.
Becomes the search for health in an egocentric behavior to achieve a beautiful body and very effective. Becomes the pursuit of happiness in the pursuit of fun, finding love in search of sex. All magazines for men and women play the issue of sex several times a year. Instead of developing the success of a sexual partner through the tenderness and sweetness, makes people believe that it is “purely technical”. As the rest of modern life, to learn good technique and returned in good time, would guarantee success. The problem is causing a general anxiety. People think that if not mastered the technique well, will not do anything, apart from a failure. Well I say that you can have sex with the body and achieve an orgasm, but is a thousand times better when the body follows the heart, making love with feelings, tenderness and sweetness.
If one opens, and gives your partner, sharing more subtle things that can heal the soul.
All magazines for men and women play the issue of sex several times a year.
Giving and sharing feelings instead of taking subtle and keep the physical pleasure. Today you can see that people have come to confuse happiness with fun and satisfaction of desires and impulses of the body.
Unfortunately we are further away from happiness when developing all sports and activities to meet the body immediately, here comes the famous adrenaline. This drug has an endogenous and rapid action in the short time, and like any drug, is addictive and always needs more. Techno music, the use of crack cocaine or ecstasy, but also many other sports at risk, with many feelings, such as Kyte surfing, etc, provided that adrenalin. Feature is that all these activities are not shared. Can be done in groups, but the individual is left alone, without physical or spiritual contact with others.
In the past, dance in particular, were always in pairs and an introduction was very erotic to know the other before having sex …

Pierre ALBRECHT – History of the diet
Diet as part of a global medicine and health science:
Chinese medicine
Historically, the most ancient references to dieting to stay healthy come from Asia. China and India are areas where traditional medicine established life rules and, more specifically, dieting rules, which are totally inserted into their medical tradition.
Indian medicine
Chinese energetic medicine and Indian ayurvedic medicine include very strict dieting rules as a basis for health, to the extent that Chinese doctors used to advise people and only got paid when the patient was cured. Ill patients ceased to pay until recovery.
There is a certain logic to it; unfortunately, modern medicine and its science are based on studying diseases and fighting them, and there are only few references to positive health science. In medical schools students learn about diseases but not about health. We need only remember the words of the father of modern French medicine: “Health is the silence of the organsâ€, quite a limited definition if we take into account that certain organs, like the heart, remains silent until it suffers a heart attack, even when a long time goes by from the moment the coronary arteries begin to clog until the stroke.
Egyptian and Jewish diet
Surely Egyptians must have had their own tradition but it is not known with certainty. What is known is that they were greatly influenced by Hebrews, they have dietary recommendations in their sacred books and a very interesting tradition called “kosher†food which forbids eating pork, pre-weaning veal and fermented bread, fast.
It is somewhat more advanced than dieting in the Christian tradition, fast and Good Friday.
Greek diet
In the lay Western world, it is in Greece where we find the oldest tradition of life hygiene based on proper dieting. The greek word “diaitaâ€, life style, the art of living, can be translated as pro-hygiene life in general. The latin word “diaetaâ€, diet, eating habits, refers to a therapeutic protocol.
In Plato we can already see an interest in diet, in statements such as “Let dietetics be your first medicineâ€, “If you fall ill, a proper diet will give you the best opportunity to healâ€.
Another philosopher, Socrates, also said “May each person take a look at themselves and write down what food, drink, and exercise is good for them and how to use them to stay in perfect health.†Hippocrates, father of medicine, used to teach about the influence of food over the human body: “Each of the substances of a man’s diet acts upon his body and changes it in some way, and upon these changes his whole life depends, whether he be in health, in sickness, or convalescentâ€. “Eating more than is demanded by nature is, surely, exposing ourselves to several diseasesâ€.
For the Greeks, dieting is hygiene of life and in the 5th century B.C. dietetics was already regarded as a medical philosophy.

Pierre ALBRECHT – Sleep : The white-sheet therapy.
“ Every day we are unavoidably subjected to artificial electromagnetic fields that affect our body and generate insomnia, migraines and premature aging. These conditions can be prevented by something as simple as sleeping properly.
Exposure to artificial electromagnetic fields can bring about con ditions ranging from migraines and insomnia to degenerative diseases.
08:00 in the morning
The alarm clock goes off, we stretch, switch on the light and go off in the direction of the kitchen. We put on the coffee-pot, heat the milk in the microwave and while the bread is toasting we have a shower with water heated by the electric water heater and then dry our hair with the hair-dryer. This is how nearly everyone begins their day. So far, in only half or three quarters of an hour, and before even leaving the house, we have been exposed to at least seven artificial electromagnetic fields which, even though weak, alter our body and generate stress that brings about reduced efficiency in the immune system which, in the long run can cause serious chronic or degenerative diseases such as cancer, leukaemia, Alzheimer, cataracts or diabetes as they increase our oxidative stress.
Nowadays it is practically unavoidable to use a mobile phone, spend several hours in front of a computer, listen to the radio or watch TV. Progress has brought us all these technological miracles, and there are still more to come, but it has also altered our environment and our relationship with nature.
Invisi ble presence : in our bedrom
It is not my intention to alarm anybody with these words. I only want to call your attention to the invisible reality of the electromagnetic fields that affect our lives and also our sleep. Yes, they also affect the way we sleep, although sometimes we are not aware of the conditions in which we perform one of the most important tasks for our body: rest. Every night we go to sleep surrounded by electronic equipment, but even more than that, our beds do not favour repose. They even bring about a reduction in Serotonin blood levels, this being the neurotransmitter that, after being transformed to Melatonin, functions as a natural sleep inducer. Knowing this, it is hardly surprising that we suffer from stress, insomnia, migraines, fatigue, depressions, irritability or nerves, all disorders that sometimes, as they become more frequent, are then considered to be inevitable.
The solution : as simple as sleeping well .
However, there is a way to correct the daily effects of the electromagnetic fields in our body. Doctor DarÃo Acuña, from the University of Granada, and Doctor Germaine Escames have written a paper specifically dealing with this subject, titled “Oxidative stress under conditions of controlled restâ€, with which they demonstrate that sleeping in a Biovital bed reduces a third of the oxidative stress level, which is what increases the probabilities of developing degenerative diseases. So much so that this research has been awarded the first prize for the best research in 2005 in the field of scientific research, and the best anti-aging and longevity product in the XX I National Congress of the Spanish Association for Medicine and Aesthetics. (SEME)
This paper, which has been declared to be of health interest, maintains that by sleeping in a bed made of natural products it is possible to alleviate the effects produced by electromagnetic fields in our body because, to begin with, they eliminate the metal from the springs in the mattress and the base, which act as a transmitter.
Falling asleep in harmony with nature They also use a mattress made of latex with a sheet of coconut fibre that absorbs the moisture from our body and prevents us from sleeping in a damp atmosphere, which is what happens when we use synthetic fibres that are unable to “dry†our perspiration, thus generating rheumatism and arthritis. Snoring can also be caused by the lack of oxygenation generated by the absence of perspiration, and for this reason a mattress cover of merino wool is provided, incorporating a layer of charcoal and an earth connection which is also found in the duvet.
All of this, according to the report, increases the production of Melatonin by eliminating the problem of the electromagnetic charges and therefore reduces the oxidative stress that brings about degenerative diseases. Furthermore, and at the same time, it provides a solution to problems of posture, pressure, oxygenation and moisture regulation while we are asleep. Which means that sleeping is converted into a real therapy. Sweet, and healthy, dreams.

Dr. Pierre ALBRECHT from Marbella Clinic- Aesthetic surgery of young breast
Since ancient times the female breast is accepted as a unique sym bol for femininity , seduction and fertility even in very distinct cultures all over the world . Apart of its cultural role the female breast has even gained more importance in our modern society when we have a loo k at fashion , music and media , were the perfect bust nearly sems to be a key element for suces .
>>>Apart from its cultural role, the female breast has gained even greater importance in
our modern society.
Speaking only of the societies based on western ideals of beauty, the image of the “ideal†female breast changed a lot during the last century following the great changes in social life like sexual liberation in the late sixties, upcoming feminism, the new femininity of the eighties and the androgyny of the nineties which substantially influenced the self-confidence of especially the young woman regarding her looks as well as her outer image in society, media and fashion. The new millennium, in spite of its obvious futureorientated acceleration and progression of all aspects of life, actually recreated a female look and style that is reminiscence to the times when a full breast was an important part of any woman’s sensual and seductive femininity.
>>>The breast of the young woman between 18 and 30 years of age has totally different needs from those of a woman of over 30 years who has maybe already had a baby.
This reborn image being transmitted by topmodels at the current fashion shows, by young female stars in the movies and by famous pop stars is reflected in every aspect of fashion and social life and makes more and more younger women to undergo plastic surgery to achieve the bust line that they feel belongs to them but accidentally was not given to them by nature.
From a plastic surgeons view, the female breast is something very delicate to change because in has an evident impact on the patient’s life and contrary to the image created by many so called “Aesthetic surgery businesses†you can not seriously offer a one price-one technique solution to achieve excellent aesthetic results. The very complex composition of the female breast consisting of glandular (milk-producing) tissue, fatty tissue and numerous fibre-like bands which hold the breast in its natural form demands anatomical expertise and individual techniques which take in consideration the age-related changes of the breast tissue. The breast of the young woman between 18 and 30 years of age has totally different needs regarding the type and shape of the implant, the position of the implant and even the position of the scars than a woman over 30 years with children. It is important to know that the tissue composition of the female breast isn’t static, but tends to change regarding the relation between glandular tissue and fatty tissue which subsequently affects firmness, elasticity and shape of the breast.
Therefore, the operating technique must be carefully adapted to the age of the patient taking in consideration the following elements :
Contrary to most women who did give birth, young women with small breasts mostly don’t have any or only minimal sagging of the breast, so the fold under the breast is not very accentuated and may even be absent. This fact diminishes the advantage of placing the implants via an incision in this fold, because the scars are not automatically hidden by the normal form of the breast like in older women. So the alternative access placing the implants via a small incision below the areola can provide excellent results with a scar even less visible and therefore needs to be considered carefully together with the treating surgeon. After a decision for the placement of the future scars has been taken, the position of the implants in the breast needs to be evaluated. Basically, a breast implant can be placed directly underneath the gland overlying the pectoral muscle or it can be placed underneath the muscle. Besides the patient’s expectations regarding the desired shape of the enlarged breast the age and the actual shape of the breasts play a very important role in making that decision. In a young woman presenting no or minimal sagging of the breast, a good elasticity of the skin and a normal breast shape, placing the implant underneath the muscle provides excellent aesthetic outcome, a better protection of the implant through the muscle and more satisfying long term results because the muscle prevents the implant from sagging.
Also if the breast is very small and the desired augmentation is more than one size, the position behind the muscle is advisable, as the glandular tissue would not cover the implant, and the result would not be natural.
>>>Today’s market offers a broad variety of different implant shapes and sizes.
On the other hand, if the patient is older and maybe has already given birth and gone
through a period of breastfeeding, the shape of breast may require the need to put the implant directly underneath the gland to provide enough volume to fill up the skin stretched by sagging.
The last important point to consider together with the treating surgeon is the style or shape of the implant. As in all other areas of life, science and technology provided a steady and remarkable improvement of breast implants during the last 10 years. Modern silicone implants have a highly resistant shell covering a soft, gel-like core, therefore providing a soft, natural feeling never achieved before while offering implant life expectations of 15 years and more. Today’s market offers a broad variety of different implant shapes and sizes which allow for an individual solution for almost every patient. Any responsible plastic surgeon should thoroughly discuss the different types of implants with the patient, and should provide the possibility to touch them, to know how they feel and to try out different shapes and sizes by wearing them inside a bra.
>>>Therefore, the operating technique must be carefully adapted to the age of the patient.
Based on his experience, the surgeon will suggest a certain range of implants that will suit the individual needs of the woman, but in most cases there will be the possibility to choose between a more rounded breast form with a little bit more volume in the upper part or a more natural, tear shaped form; or to decide between different degrees of implantsoftness referring to the patient’s individual taste.
There is no unique breast shape that can be taken to be “the ideal breast†for every woman; the most important thing when it comes to deciding about the size and shape is to give every woman her own very unique shape that suits her body and style. The seduction evoked by a perfect bust line is not only related to volume, but to an individual harmony in the relation between the breast and the chest.
This kind of harmony, that can be achieved at any age, is what we always aim to create in our patients.
Taking care of the individual needs of the woman’s anatomy and taking into consideration the elements mentioned above, the breast augmentation with silicone implants is a safe and reliable procedure with excellent and long lasting aesthetic results, especially when performed on younger women.
The following interview with a 29 year old patient is an example of the results that can be achieved with implants in a patient who has slightly saggy breast but does not want a correction with an additional uplift. The excellent results achieved by breast augmentation in a patient who has small breasts without any sagging are illustrated by photos of another 26 year old patient.

Pierre ALBRECHT from Marbella Clinic – The therapeutic importance of physical execise:
A brisk fifteen minute walk to the shops or the office constitutes cardio-vascular activity and therefore may be regarded as part of an exercise regime
By definition, physical activity signifies any bodily movement that results in the expenditure of energy and therefore encompasses most of the actions involved in our daily lives including anything from making the bed to walking the dog.
The importance of maintaining a healthy heart should not be underestimated at any age, but especially by those of advancing years.
On the other hand, physical exercise denotes a particular activity whereby energetic movements increase the heart rate and consequently the speed at which blood is pumped around the body. Moreover, it is associated with activities which involve the concentrated expansion and contraction of various muscles in order to maintain or to change bodily shape.
However, this does not necessarily mean that physical exercise incorporates only activities that are strenuous or over-exertive. Indeed, a brisk fifteen minute walk to the shops or the office constitutes cardio-vascular activity and therefore may be regarded as part of an exercise regime.
In contrast, a sedentary lifestyle implies the complete lack of any physical exercise. Although normal daily routines invariably amount to a certain degree of activity, the absence of cardio-vascular stimulation of any kind indicates an inadequate level of fitness for what is considered necessary to good health based on scientific evidence.
Nowadays, with the ever-increasing importance of physical appearance, the external benefits of internal health are often overlooked and exercise is avoided in favour of more effortless ways to alter the physical shape. However, physical exercise serves not only as an aid to esthetical enhancement, but rather as a maintenance programme for the entire body.
The importance of maintaining a healthy heart should not be underestimated at any age, but especially by those of advancing years. Healthy cardio-vascular and pulmonary systems can prevent serious illness and prolong life expectancy and furthermore, aid recovery after surgical procedures.

Pierre ALBRECHT – The macrobiotic or enegy diet
It depends on the needs of each individual to search for the absolut e truth, and to stop
the search once he bel ieves he has found it.
the macrobiotic diet, created in Japan at the hand of George Oshawa, is based on the search for physical and emotional equilibrium through the harmony of diet, and for which foods are classified as being either Y in or Y ang. We shall take a look at these principles, and their advantages or disadvantages.
This diet is based on a carbohydrate intake, especially of rice, plus a quantity of vegetable proteins such as soy, pulses, vegetables and Japanese seaweed, very rich in minerals.
The majority of people who follow this diet develop a series of deficiencies that result in a very pale appearance. It is paradoxical that the “pioneers of the macrobiotic dietâ€, such as Michio Kushi or his wife, appear so full of health and energy – possibly because of their Oriental origins they are more familiar with this kind of diet – or maybe because they are not too strict in following their own doctrines.
As we mentioned above, the macrobiotic diet is based on the balance between the Yin and Y ang of foods and of life in general. It is a very interesting subject to study, I have done so and I followed the diet for three years, so I am in a position to say that, although if followed correctly it enables the body to eliminate toxins, I do not think it can be recommended for everyone.
In fact, followers of the macrobiotic diet develop a number of deficiencies that lead to specific ailments. And what happens is that the followers of this doctrine practice it almost as a religion and their view of life is then seen through the diet. Neither is it easy to adapt social relationships to this lifestyle and way of eating. The question is: Is a healthy way of life an end or a means? Should our existence be organized around our search for good health or do we only have to find a balance to be able to live and develop?
It depends on the needs of each individual to search for the absolute truth and to stop the search once he believes he has found it.
The reality is that the followers of Kushi have found the truth they were looking for and if this enables them to grow, then they have done the right thing.
One last detail about the macrobiotic diet: If we take blood groups into account, the people most suited to this diet are those with blood group A, provided that they eat the pulses and cereals recommended.

Pierre Albrecht -The quest for happiness – Chapter 2
In this new chapter on the quest for happiness, we shall continue to delve deeper into thisimportant item that is of interest to everyone. We will attempt to define concepts such as “happiness†“interior joy†or “wellbeingâ€, and also to discover how this subject has been dealt with during the course of humanity.
What happened when I asked someone to read this chapter on definitions could serve as a good example of how difficult it is to give a precise meaning to these words.
It involves a patient of mine, Ana Mª V…, a 36 year old psychologist who read this chapter on the quest for happiness. Her comment was “It’s not bad… I agree with what you say, but from my point of view, joy is something momentary whilst happiness is something more lastingâ€. As happens all too often in our personal and professional lives, her opinion is based on the words used and not on their significance. To avoid this kind of problem and to not give so much importance to words, you could try to invent a more fluid concept, imagining a continuous interior state of well-being that makes you feel good whenever and wherever you are. Therefore a deep interior feeling of continuous wellbeing exists, or might exist. Again I have used the word “well-beingâ€, and each of you can interpret it as you wish, but to me it seems to be the most neutral expression. This is what I would call “interior joyâ€.
So, apart from this permanent feeling of wellbeing, we can also experience moments of “well-being that are more intense than usualâ€, which would contrast with the normal state of wellbeing. This condition is characterised by the implication that it cannot last for long because it depends on one or several external factors that are not permanent.
For some people the external factor that generates those famous endorphins released by our brain to make us feel good will be artificial, such as the use of drugs, alcohol or tobacco. For others it could be natural, through sex, music or sports. For me, this feeling of intense, specific well-being is what I would call pleasure, I do not consider it to be happiness. But for most people, happiness still depends on external factors like, for example, the fact of having money, a partner, a house, children, material assets, travelling, or not doing anything, lying on the beach, enjoying the sun, the sky and the birds. When I mentioned joy in the introduction to this article, I was referring to the concept of joy that is used in religious books. These books make reference to joy, not to happiness. The scholars and the prophets who have dwelt upon this subject claim that it is not possible to find happiness on this earth, although you can find interior joy. As you see, different names can be given to it – the concepts can even be confused – by calling joy what others call happiness. The essential thing is to understand that it is possible to attain an interior state of permanent wellbeing that does not depend on the external conditions of life, and that this deep, permanent state is more intense and will fulfil us more, bringing us peace. It would be impossible to achieve this if our state depended on external factors, that we could call stimulants (either physical or emotional). We all have friends or relatives who are full of “joy†and transmit this to others. Always happy, they are extremely positive, they like everyone and almost everything.
Well also know other people who are never happy, there is always something that they are missing, something they need to be able to fully enjoy life. They complain constantly, they criticize the world, life and everyone else. It’s always the world that is to blame if they are not happy, because they do not receive what they think they deserve.
Between these two extremes there are thousands of different cases, like ourselves. Scientists and brain specialists claim it is a question of chemistry and that the solution lies in medication known as “happiness pillsâ€, such as Prozac. Others, like psychoanalysts and psychologists, think it depends on the early years of our lives, and they propose sessions of regression, either with patient being conscious or under hypnosis. Freud would have said it depends on the subconscious and others would say it involves the tendency of the soul.
The fact is that the quest for happiness continues and we all take part in the search, even those who try to hide it behind physical and/or mental hyperactivity. I don’t think there is one answer, but many answers. In any case, anyone who manages to love himself and others, without expecting anything in return and with compassion, comes close to achieving his own personal and permanent happiness.
The quest for happiness, an age-old concept.
Since ancient times, Man has been trying to improve his quality of life. In the beginning, to protect himself and to have a regular food supply. Little by little, once the essentials for his day to day life were more or less guaranteed – i.e. his basic needs – he began to have time to think and redefine his life. From that moment on, the notion of happiness appears. It could almost be said that the search for happiness appears once the fight for survival disappears.
In other words, once the dangers are removed, temporarily or almost permanently, he can start to look for ways in which to improve his living conditions : food, housing, dress, love, play. From this, first the concept, and later the philosophy, automatically emerges.
The division of the world
At any period in time, the world has always been divided into two categories of people: those who have tried to find happiness through material belongings, and those who have remained either partly or completely on the outside of the material world, trying to find a spiritual evolution.
Since the most distant times, and in all civilizations, politicians have co-existed alongside the holy men. The politicians organized the world and daily life. The priests were there to guide us, acting as intermediaries between the visible and the invisible worlds, between the world from where the soul comes and to where it goes.
In certain periods of history, these two worlds have sometimes come close, bringing spiritual and political power together in the same hands. On other occasions they become distant, like at the present time – at least in the Western world – when the spiritual leaders do not enjoy any political privileges other than, very occasionally, acting as mere advisors.
