Explore Orthomolecular Therapy for Health & Wellness... (Introduction to Alternative Therapies- Natural Healing series)

4/21/2022

0 Comments

 
​Orthomolecular therapy involves usage of hormones, minerals and vitamins in excessive doses in order to cure and avert a number of health conditions. The dosage of these supplements tends to significantly exceed the recommended daily allowance, or RDA, and therefore needs to be carefully guided and administered.  It is common for practitioners to also require the patient to adjust their eating habits and participate in complimentary types of treatment. 
 
This type of treatment is typically used by those who are experiencing psychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia and depression, as well as alcoholism, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), Parkinson’s disease, hay fever, colds, pneumonia, heart disease, eczema, acne, chronic fatigue syndrome and a variety of other health issues. It works on the belief that many illnesses are caused by lack of proper nutrition and overconsumption of refined and unhealthy foods.

The orthomolecular therapist has a consultation with the client and discusses the health issues, symptoms and concerns. Depending on the therapist’s evaluation, patients will be required to increase their vitamin or mineral intake, such as niacin or vitamin C. These supplements are typically taken orally. Therapists often advise patients to alter their diet to sugar and dairy free instead.

Other procedures that can help therapists make a more accurate diagnosis include blood tests, hair analysis and urine testing, which can further elaborate on the lack of minerals and vitamins in the body.
 
Orthomolecular therapy has been around since the 60’s, when it was developed by Linus Pauling. Through his research, Pauling found that many diseases, such as depression, alcoholism, asthma, allergies, blood pressure issues and headaches, could be cured or treated by restoring proper nutrients and vitamins in the body. 

Whilst it is well known that we should be eating foods that are high in minerals and vitamins, sometimes symptoms appear too late and require more drastic methods such as orthomolecular therapy. 
 
Unlike conventional medicine, orthomolecular therapy aims to get rid of the problem by improving the patient’s health and by giving suggestions that can be used for the rest of their life. This form of therapy is well regarded in the world of alternative medicine and has been used as a treatment for a variety of mental illnesses, cancer and other problems. 
 
One of the most significantly reoccurring deficiencies in those with mental diseases is the lack of vitamin C. Lack of nutrients such as thiamine, cyanocobalamin, tryptophan, folic acid, L-glutamic acid and pyridoxine contribute to diseases as well.

    Our Journey to "Oneness" 

    It is a journey and like all journeys, it is set with many moments of challenges and accomplishments. 

    But when one's heart is true and the decision is made to "be the best that one can be", then each challenge merely seems like a stepping stone, to be overcome to reach and experience new heights of existential living.

    Hope you find these notes inspiring enough to initiate your own journey...
     
    ​What else will you find here??

    Here you will find thoughts, ideas, musings and  insights which make us reflect on the nature of our life and reality. I hope that these will connect with you. 


    These articles address the various insights, lessons and at times modern-interpretations of techniques and methods of ancient wisdom (particularly Vedic Culture) and also Shamanism, Buddhism, Druid- Paganism, Sufi Islam and Taoism. 

    It tries to bring the wisdom of ancient, insightful ways to benefit a modern, evolving and conscious lifestyle.

    Frankly it brings many of the spiritual concepts to  a "real  life" level!!

    Think of this guidance as "Spirituality for the Rest of Us"... folks who  have families,  careers,  material goals & ambitions  and so on... the ones  who cannot simply extrapolate what  typical spiritual gurus and guides say, when they live special monastic lives.  


    Each one of us may have different life situations but ultimately we are all ONE life and we all go thru these myriads of situations, experiences, thoughts and feelings at some point or other in time. 

    Read along and see how these lessons, insights and guidance can help you to chalk out your own path to 'One-ness'- where you are successful, healthy and Happy.   
    ​

    Do let me know of your experiences.

    I would love to read about them and promise to respond as much as possible.
