Orthomolecular Nutrition for Healing
|
Orthomolecular Medicine treats the body on the cellular level, where disease begins. The approach is to create the ideal environment within the body for health. This is achieved through the use of naturally occurring substances found in the body, such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, hormones, and essential fatty acids. Orthomolecular medicine focuses on treating the body's chemical imbalances and abnormalities, which leads to disease, so that the body can heal and correct itself. This concept has been used to prevent and aid in the treatment of many illnesses, specifically mental illnesses and cancer.

Nutrition and Mental Illness: An Orthomolecular Approach to Balancing Body Chemistry Carl Curt Pfeiffer |
Back Cover: A pioneer in the field of nutritional research, Dr. Carl Pfeiffer has found nutritional therapies successful in abating and even overcoming many psychological disorders, from anxiety and depression to phobias and schizophrenia. In his extensive research into the connection between nutrition and mental illness, Dr. Pfeiffer has clearly shown that a proper biochemical balance within the body is the key to maintaining good mental as well as physical health. Believing that anti-psychotic drugs actually pose obstacles to the long term healing process, Dr. Pfeiffer corrects the chemical imbalances that contribute to psychiatric disturbances by adjusting the diets of his patients and prescribing large doses of essential vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. His unprecedented success in treating a wide range of psychological troubles with nutritional strategies has resulted in a growing demand for his services at the Brain Bio Center in Skillman, New Jersey. The methods of treatment developed by Dr. Pfeiffer and presented in Nutritional and Mental Illness provide a necessary adjunct to traditional drug therapies, brining hope of lasting health for those searching for a way toward wellness of body, mind, and spirit. |
