7. In which regions of the cell does the production of bio-energy occur?
	Cell nucleus
	Cell membrane

	Mitochondria

8. What are micronutrients?
	Important energy suppliers for the metabolism of each cell
	Natural substances essential for maintaining health and life
	Vitamins, minerals, trace elements, certain amino acids and other micronutrients

	Plays only a minor role for our health
	Is the single most important substance for maintaining healthy blood vessels
	Plays a decisive role in the natural treatment of cancer and immune deficiency diseases
	Its importance for human health resulted in the awarding of a Nobel Prize for Medicine

11. Cellular Medicine:
	Scientific knowledge regarding biology and biochemistry in relation to the importance of micronutrients for human health
	Is a comprehensive health concept which draws on the fact that health and disease are decided at the level of the cells that make up the human body
	Acknowledges the fact that a deficiency of cellular nutrients is a primary cause of cellular malfunction
	Dr. Rath and his research team developed this approach as a comprehensive basis for a new healthcare system oriented towards the prevention and eradication of diseases

12. The aim of Cellular Medicine is:
	Treating the symptoms of illness
	Using its discoveries to obtain profitable patents
	Preventing and eradicating illnesses

13. Which research institute is a world leader in the field of natural cancer treatment?

	1980
	1991
	2002

17. Arteriosclerosis resulting in heart attacks and strokes is the leading cause of death in the industrialized world. Its primary cause is:
	Excessively high cholesterol levels, leading to arteriosclerosis
	A chronic deficiency of vitamin C, rendering the arteries brittle
	Bacteria which attack artery walls

18. High blood pressure frequently develops as a result of:
	A chronic deficiency of micronutrients
	Expansion of the arteries' diameter
	Short-term or temporary stress

	They have no effect
	They exacerbate AIDS

20. What are the goals of the pharmaceutical industry?
	Promoting human health
	Mainating and expanding diseases as markets for drug sales
	Obtaining maximum profits through the sale of pharmaceutical products
	Eradicating disease

21. How does the "business with disease" function?
	The severe side effects of pharmaceutical drugs give rise to new diseases
	Through the preferential promotion of drugs that suppress disease symptoms without eliminating the causes of disease
	Through high patent fees, which lead to exploding healthcare costs
	Through humanitarian aid of its investors

22. Who else can benefit from the health information contained in this course?
	Myself
	My family and friends
	The people living in my community and country
	People worldwide
