Orthomolecular Nutrient
Therapy and Chelation Therapy
What is Orthomolecular
Medicine?
Orthomolecular medicine describes the
practice of preventing and treating disease by providing the
body with optimal amounts of substances which are natural to
the body. The term "orthomolecular" was first used by Linus
Pauling in a paper he wrote in the journal Science in 1968.
The key idea in orthomolecular medicine is that genetic
factors affect not only the physical characteristics of
individuals, but also to their biochemical milieu. Biochemical
pathways of the body have significant genetic variability and
diseases such as atherosclerosis, cancer, schizophrenia or
depression are associated with specific biochemical
abnormalities which are causal or contributing factors of the
illness. Based on investigational scientific studies, single
blinded and double blinded randomized controlled trials,
clinical experience, and case histories, claims have been made
that therapeutic nutrition can prevent, treat, or sometimes
cure, acne, bee sting, burns, cancer, common cold, drug
addiction, drug overdose, heart diseases, acute hepatitis,
herpes, influenza, mononucleosis, mushroom poisoning,
neuropathy & polyneuritis (including Multiple sclerosis),
osteoporosis, polio, "alcoholism, allergies, arthritis,
autism, epilepsy, hypertension, hypoglycemia, migraine,
clinical depression, learning disabilities, retardation,
mental and metabolic disorders, skin problems, and
hyperactivity," Raynaud's disease, heavy metal toxicity,
radiation sickness, * Pyroluria, schizophrenia, shock,
snakebite, spider bite, tetanus toxin and viral
pneumonia.

Chelation
This
Preventive Therapy involves the addition of a chelating agent,
such as EDTA to form an ionic bond with metallic agents such
as calcium, lead, mercury, aluminum, iron, and cadmium to
mobilize and excrete these elements from the body. Age-related
conditions, including heart disease and diabetes, respond well
to EDTA Chelation
therapy.
