Orthomolecular Treatm Of Chronic Disease

High doses of vitamins have been known to cure serious illnesses for nearly 80 years. But, unlike other books, this book is not about simple “deficiency” diseases. Instead, The Orthomolecular Treatment of Chronic Disease targets all-too-common, often severe ailments that are generally not believed to be treatable with nutrition therapy. Claus Jungeblut, MD, prevented and treated polio in the mid-1930s, using a vitamin. Chest specialist Frederick Klenner, MD, was curing multiple sclerosis and polio back in the 1940s, also using vitamins. William Kaufman, MD, cured arthritis, also in the 1940s. In the 1950s, Drs.

Dr. Harold Foster and colleagues arrested and reversed full-blown AIDS with nutrient therapy, and in just the last few years, Atsuo Yanagisawa, MD, has shown that vitamin therapy can prevent and reverse sickness caused by exposure to nuclear radiation. All of these doctors used very high doses, and all consistently reported striking success rates. And, all these doctors reported great patient safety. Orthomolecular (nutritional) medicine is based on physicians’ reported experiences as well as laboratory study. Since 1967, much of this research has been published in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine (JOM). This book brings forward important material selected from over forty-five years of JOM directly to the general reader, and the general reader’s doctor. The Orthomolecular Treatment of…
