The orthomolecular concept is a simple one, using optimal nutrition to combat, heal and prevent physical and mental illness. Orthomolecular nutrition is based on diets and food supplements of essential vitamins and minerals specifically selected to solve individual problems and needs. Its overall aim is promoting optimal health and longevity for everyone. In this expanded, updated and revised edition, the author discusses orthomolecular medicine and treatment with case histories. It explains the functions of major nutrients, summarizes new research and lays out a comprehensive anti-stress supplement program - to show the way to a longer, healthier life.

Covering a wide range of popular alternative medicine and health issues, User's Guides are written by leading experts and science writers and are designed to answer the consumer's basic questions about disease, conventional and alternative therapies, and individual dietary supplements.

Recently, interest in nutritional medicine and how to use it properly has increased enormously and many people are already taking supplemental vitamins in larger than standard dietary doses. Orthomolecular medicine believes that the basis for health is good nutrition. It relies on nutrients and normal ("ortho") constituents of the body, administered in optimum amounts, as the main treatments. Decades of use demonstrates that megavitamin therapy works. This book, written by two leading experts with more than eighty years of experience between them, explains the basics of orthomolecular nutrition: simple rules for eating a healthier diet and effective nutritional supplementation. Vitamins, minerals and other nutrients are explored in detail, including information on the clinical research as well as safe supplement doses.As you'll see, orthomolecular medicine has been used to treat a wide variety of conditions, including cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal disorders, arthritis, psychoses and behavioural problems, autoimmune diseases and even cancer. Whether you are exploring orthomolecular medicine for the first time or you are a practitioner wanting to deepen your knowledge, this book can enlighten and inform you.What you will discover is that nutritional treatment is effective, free of side effects and inexpensive. Once you overcome the old assumption that anything cheap and safe cannot possibly be effective, health awaits you.

Alcohol abuse remains an unsolved problem, enormously costly and enormously painful. Over 60 percent of adults drink alcohol and half of those drink heavily at some point. Excessive alcohol consumption contributes to violent crime, damages the liver and brain, impairs judgment, leads to depressive symptoms and causes nutrient deficiencies.But there is hope: nutrition can cure alcohol addiction. Alcoholism is not a disease. Rather, the person called an "alcoholic" has a sick body and seeks relief by consuming alcohol. Megavitamin therapy is cheaper, safer and more effective than drugs or counselling. Alcoholics suffer from a nutrient deficiency, especially vitamin B3. This book outlines the nutritional factors proven successful in treating alcoholism.This book can help those who suffer from alcohol addiction, their friends and loved-ones, and those in the relevant helping professions.
