Orthomolecular Medicine

Orthomolecular medicine is a diagnostic and therapeutic study of micro-nutrients, which are the building blocks of life. These are understood to be minerals, trace elements, amino acids (protein components), vitamins, and fatty acids.

The importance of orthomolecular medicine today is growing. The occurrence of micro-nutrient deficiencies is becoming ever more prevalent, despite the rich and abundant availability of food products. In addition, the high level of toxins by way of environmental contamination multiplies the daily need of certain micro-nutrients. Clearly and simply put, the metabolism of a person can only function well when all the necessary micro-nutrients are present at the right time and in the right place.

Furthermore, a specifically oriented treatment plan for a deficiency or lack of necessary micro-nutrients can bring salutary results in treating many illnesses such as, heart and circulatory diseases, allergies, exhaustion and burn out, loss of hair, ADS, metabolic diseases, and arthritis. The results also include successful weight loss and an improvement of physical and mental performance into old age.
