A warm welcome to today’s talk about orthomolecular medicine.
Here are the important facts about orthomolecular medicine you need to know.
1. The Principles.
In order to understand this well, let’s embark in a journey to explore the human body, and imagine we could zoom in a gradual and progressive fashion. First we would see the entire body, then the organ systems, then the various organs, then the different tissues, and eventually the cells and their constituent molecules. These molecules include nutrients and natural bioactive compounds.
Adequate daily intake of these molecules leads to optimal body functions, health and wellbeing. In contrast, suboptimal intake or deficiency of these molecules is conducive to dysfunction and disease.
Orthomolecular refers to the correct molecule, which translates into providing the human body with adequate amount of essential nutrients and naturally occurring bioactive molecules. Orthomolecular medicine, involves the optimization of the dosages of “correct molecules” that are needed but not synthesized by the body.
2. The Objectives.
Orthomolecular medicine focuses on supporting health and treating the root cause of disease by correcting the biochemical imbalances. This enhances the innate ability of the body to heal itself, optimizing the myriad of physiological processes that are critical for enhancing health and wellbeing.
3. The Challenges.
Soil impoverishment due to intensive farming and food processing, has led to foods poor in vital nutrients. In addition, stress, toxicity, infection and disease, increase nutrients requirements, but decrease nutrients absorption.
4. The Interventions.
Optimizing the intake of nutrients, including vitamins and minerals, as well as natural bioactive molecules, in order to correct the biochemical imbalances of disease and support health. Health is not merely the absence of disease but the positive attainment of optimal function and well-being. Orthomolecular medicine nourishes the body from within to enhance health and prevent disease.
