"Orthomolecular" medicine

Home » Alternative Medicine » Blog » "Orthomolecular" medicine

The online Canadian journal Common Ground has an interesting article on something it calls "Orthomolecular" medicine.

"Orthomolecular medicine" formalizes this ageless insight into a biological paradigm. According to Orthomolecluar Medicine Online (www.orthomed.org), this mouthful of a term "describes the practice of preventing and treating disease by providing the body with optimal amounts of substances, which are natural to the body." The prefix ortho means to correct or straighten, in this case using the right molecule in the right amount in individual cases.

What all this hoo-ha means basically is to take your vitamins. Oh, and stop eating all that fast food. Fair enough.
