Albert J. Dietziker

Albert J. Dietziker (born March 17, 1933 in Cham , Canton Zug ; † August 6, 2010 ) was a Swiss chronobiologist and developer of the BIO-DAB calculator .

Life

Coming from a humble background, he grew up with nine siblings in Cham (Switzerland). Until his death in 2010, he headed the Institute for Chronobiology he founded in Hünenberg See (Switzerland) for more than forty years . Albert J. Dietziker has dealt with medical and biological issues since his young adult years. He made biorhythmics a chronobiological discipline. Albert J. Dietziker gave innumerable lectures on chronobiology and led seminars throughout the German-speaking area. He completed the book about his life's work a month before his death.

Chronobiology

Dietziker's first encounter with the circadian rhythm of humans was ambivalent. So he initially tried to refute the existence of biorhythms in the human organism. Albert J. Dietziker checked data on heart attacks , circulatory collapse , stroke and accidents resulting in death. During his investigations, Dietziker discovered that too many events could not be explained with the representation of the three rhythms as sinus curves. From then on he displayed the curves in circles. His BIO-DAB calculator revealed specific rhythm constellations that could be assigned to the areas of the heart , head and circulation . Blood tests confirmed that the specific rhythmic constellations have measurable effects on the constantly changing biological-chemical renewal process of the human organism. This enables more differentiated statements to be made about the current biological constitution of a person and specific instructions for action to be derived. In particular, Albert J. Dietziker calculated favorable dates for medical interventions on this basis.

The birth-triggering rhythms of the mother opened up a further dimension for Albert J. Dietziker. The birth constellation allowed a typology of the human being and its division into three basic hereditary groups. On the basis of the maternal rhythm constellation at the time of birth, Dietziker was able to make typological statements about talents, inclinations and health vulnerabilities in humans. Both professional predispositions and partnership aspects were revealed.

Other inventions

Albert J. Dietziker made his first invention as a teenager in the form of a quick release device for wheel hubs. At the beginning of the 1960s, some inventions based on plastics followed. In 1961 Albert J. Dietziker was involved in the development of a polymer without residual monomers for dentures. In 1964 a thin and skin-friendly garter belt for women’s stockings was created. In 1968 Albert J. Dietziker invented a baby drinking bottle with a removable bottom and movable membrane, for which he was awarded at the inventors' fair in Brussels.
