| | Orthomolecular medicine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The field of orthomolecular psychiatry deals with the use of orthomolecular medicine to treat psychiatric problems. | | | Orthomolecular medicine focuses on the role of proper nutrition in relation to health. | | | However most conventional doctors have little knowledge of the concepts of orthomolecular medicine and tell patients that a balanced diet will provide all the nutrition a person needs to be healthy. |

| | Orthomolecular therapy provides a step forward in the battle against cancer and must be fully explored. | | | There must be a major expansion into the use of orthomolecular therapy to sort out the variables and to determine how to improve the therapeutic outcome of treatment. | | | We concluded in our manuscript that the optimum treatment for cancer today is a combination of xenobiotic and orthomolecular therapy and that treatment must be started as soon as possible. |

| | Why I Practice Orthomolecular Medicine |
| | Orthomolecular medicine is the medicine of the future. | | | Abram Hoffer, M.D., a pioneer in orthomolecular psychiatry, once expressed the view that someday we wouldn't need a word like "orthomolecular," because all of medicine would embody the orthomolecular principle. | | | I've been recommending nutritional therapies for 20 years now and practicing orthomolecular medicine almost that long. |

| | On the Orthomolecular Environment of the Mind: Orthomolecular Theory |
| | I have talked with the leading orthomolecular psychiatrists and have found that they feel the principles of medical ethics prevent them from carrying out controlled clinical tests, with half of their patients receiving orthomolecular therapy in addition to the conventional treatment and the other half receiving only the conventional treatment. | | | I shall point out below that the principles of medical ethics prevent orthomolecular psychiatrists from withholding from half of their patients a treatment that they consider to be valuable. | | | Two-thirds of the report relates to niacin and one-third to the Hoffer-Osmond Diagnostic Test (HOD) (34), which has no special connection with megavitamin or orthomolecular psychiatry except that it was devised by the originators of niacin therapy. |

| | Orthomolecular theory not withstanding a significant majority of reputable doctors and their patients firmly believe that orthodox psychiatry and talking therapy have not gone bankrupt and are still helping those many people whose problems do not originate in a simple shortage of B vitamins. | | | Prior to 1966, his clinic used the methods of orthodox psychiatry and the average schizophrenic patient was seen about 150 times a year. | | | Those are three of the many case histories orthomolecular psychiatrists can site as typical of the therapeutic results achieved by their new and controversial brand of psychiatry. |

| | Orthomolecular Nutrition and Megavitamins |
| | Although the term 'orthomolecular' was not introduced until 1968 by Linus Pauling in his report into "Orthomolecular Psychiatry" (3, 39), megavitamin therapy began many years earlier. | | | Orthomolecular nutrition and megavitamins; history and development of scientific reductionism and megavitamin therapy including Linus Pauling, Roger Williams and Abram Hoffer. | | | However, when Wittenborn re-analysed his data a year later (11, 84, 96) he reported a sub-group of patients (these were the more acute patients) who demonstrated significant improvement following vitamin therapy, thus verifying the earlier claims made by Hoffer regarding acute patients. |

| | Orthomolecular medicine is not "alternative"; rather, it should be considered as an adjunct to appropriate conventional medicine. | | | He sometimes appended "and are required for health" to this definition and noted, "the adjective orthomolecular is used to express the idea of the right molecules in the right concentration" (emphasis added). | | | As you can see from the examples of orthomolecular medicine discussed above, sometimes decreasing the amount of a substance in the body is beneficial (see also the article on homocysteine in this newsletter). |

| | This approach can result in great harm to psychiatric patients when used instead of effective medications. | | | In the early 1970s, a special American Psychiatric Association task force investigated the claims of psychiatrists who espoused the orthomolecular approach. | | | Stephen Barrett, M.D. "Orthomolecular therapy" is defined by its proponents as "the treatment of disease by varying the concentrations of substances normally present in the human body." Its proponents claim that many diseases are caused by molecular imbalances that are correctable by administration of the "right" nutrient molecules at the right time. |
