WHAT DOES ORTHOMOLECULAR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Orthomolecular medicine

Orthomolecular medicine[1][2] is a form of complementary and alternative medicine aimed at maintaining health through nutritional supplementation and based on the assertion that there is an optimum nutritional environment in the body and that diseases reflect deficiencies in this environment. Treatment for disease, according to this view, calls for the "correcting of imbalances or deficiencies based on individual biochemistry" by use of substances natural to the body, such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, trace elements and fatty acids.[3][4][5] Few medical or scientific experts support this approach;[6][7] even the accuracy of calling the orthomolecular approach a form of medicine has been questioned since the 1970s.[8] The approach is sometimes referred to as megavitamin therapy[1][2] because its practice evolved out of, and in some cases still uses, doses of vitamins and minerals many times higher than the recommended dietary intake. Orthomolecular practitioners may also incorporate a variety of other styles of treatment into their approaches, including dietary restriction, megadoses of non-vitamin nutrients and mainstream pharmaceutical drugs.
