Orthomolecular Medicine, A Predictive Tool – Nation World News

The word orthomolecular means molecular balance and its purpose is to correct imbalances in cells. It is based on the biochemical study of each patient, to find out the causes of diseases, it is biochemistry that is applied in clinical medicine. Undoubtedly, it is the preventive medicine of the future, especially for heart attacks, strokes, osteoarthritis, memory loss or diabetes, a different way to conceive medicine, restore the bodys chemical balance, right at the right time. Giving molecules, therefore no adverse effects have been recorded in their treatment. Prioritize nutrition as treatment. Orthomolecular medicine is considered a complement to traditional medicine and vice versa. I dont think this adjective deserves alternative medicine because its not a substitute, but a requirement that we need, first of all, to repair our biology, our body, and above all to provide it with the nutrients it needs. have taken. Then, when an organism is late or continues to change a lot, whether due to injuries, poisoning or trauma, traditional medicine will come to cure it with drugs, to help with the acute, whether it is antibiotics. Be it with, anti-inflammatory, or analgesic But drugs are always foreign to our nature, so they are accompanied by adverse effects. Orthomolecular drug treatments are based on vitamins, minerals, amino acids (protein building blocks), essential fatty acids, and enzymes. Diagnosis is based on each patients individual biochemistry, considering the elements that poison us today due to environmental pollution, water and soil contamination, radiation, nutritional deficiencies and psycho-physical stress. The aim is to reach the cause of the disease and not just reduce its symptoms. Preventive and curative, when the pathology progresses silently, orthomolecular medicine comes first, capable of using micronutrients to repair the altered biochemistry. By combating pre-existing disease, the engine can be restarted, knowing how to prevent future diseases and maintain quality of life.Orthomolecular medicine is characterized by healing using only the bodys own elements, in contrast to traditional medicine which uses drugs foreign to the body, through patches for each symptom: if pain occurs, a analgesics; an anti-inflammatory if there is inflammation; And if there is depression then an antidepressantthe anti-everything prescription we can depend on and accumulate its adverse effects.Traditional medicine is very effective for acute pathologies, such as appendicitis, pneumonia, a heart attack that has already occurred, or a stroke. Orthomolecular medicine, on the other hand, is effective in preventing chronic diseases such as osteoarthritis or atherosclerosis and prevents them before a heart attack or stroke occurs.This specialty, which has evolved and provides preventive and therapeutic measures for many diseases, has been in existence for more than 40 years. With an aim to spread and share knowledge, I inaugurated the first Ibero-American School of Orthomolecular Medicine (EIMO) in the country, which provides comprehensive training through online courses.
