What is Orthomolecular Therapy?

Recommended Posts

Most of the " public " have never heard the word " orthomolecular " , and

most of those who have, probably don't know much about it. Many of the

current " Alternate Health " therapists use a lot of the therapies

developed by Abram Hoffer, Carl Pfeiffer, and Linus Pauling.

 

The word was coined by Linus, and it means " To correct (ortho) at the

molecular level, i.e. using the basics of vitamins, minerals, amino

acids, and enzymes to correct various deficiencies and imbalances, thus

solving various health problems. (It's a strange word with both Greek

and Latin derivative parts.)

 

Because the orthomolecular therapies do not use drugs, they seriously

threaten Big Pharma's profits, and since most Medical Journals depend on

Big Pharma's advertising for survival, there is no truth about vitamins

etc, and actually quite a bit of lies, and misinformation available to

doctors in these " respected " Med journals.

This is further complicated by Big Pharma's control and corruption of

the FDA and CDC, and their employees publishing stories with phony

research about vitamins, particularly about vitamins C, and E, etc. If

the truth about only vitamin C was widely known, it would put hundreds

of profitable drugs out of business, so Big Pharma hides truth and lies

about these with phony tests. For more info about vitamin C therapy

that works for colds and flu, etc -m http://drbate.com/Ref/C.html

 

I became a member of the Orthomolecular Society in 1980, and became

personal friends with both Abram and Carl over the next several years.

I was the only PhD psychologist member who was " curing " schizophrenic

patients without drugs at all. Of course, I was called a " quack " by

MD's, but I solved schizophrenia in every patient I had with it. My

book " The Health Revolution " details most of this.

 

Today I received the following article from the Orthomolecular Society,

and I am reprinting it here with permission. I found it very

interesting as a part of the history of the corruption of medicine by

Big Pharma, and how money controls medicine.

On Vitamin C as a remedy: There is a study (Parsons 1919) showing that Vitamin

C (a strong acid) is neutralized before it can have any effect. How? By

combining with and removing our alkaline forming elements sodium, potassium and

calcium.

Micromanaging biology is based on unwarranted and unprovable assumptions.

Elements can transmute in the presence of microorganisms so we can throw out

Lavoisier's hoary Law.

As examples, Niphargus shrimp spend their life cycle in a medium of clay,

manifesting a complete spectrum of vitamins without eating any. A giraffe will

develop a huge bone structure on a diet of tree leaves containing no calcium.

Biology is too complex to manage with our delusional intellectual tools.

Transmutations' by Louis Kervran.

While I agree with " glorgboob " on a few of the statements in his reply,

much is wrong.

1. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is not a " strong acid, but a weak one.

It is not " diluted " by sodium, calcium et al , but it (and all other

minerals in the blood stream at the time are metabolized into an

ascorbate form of vitamin C. This includes the toxic minerals released

from the liver (mercury, lead, aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, etc). While

not strictly a " chelation material " , it does the same thing, and is much

cheaper. (Compare 500 1 gram C Tablets at about $17 to 500-600 per hour

sitting getting EDTA intravenously.

 

2. I agree that there are lot of micro things we haven't figured out.

This would include the shrimp, and the fact that hens can transmute mica

into calcium - we can't. (Yet.) However, we have a pretty good working

knowledge of vitamin C. We know that it kills both bacteria and virus

" bugs " , but it takes huge amounts if compared to the RDA of 75 mg a day

- a truly ridiculous amount. A 150 pound ape in the zoo has an RDA of

4000 mg (4 grams) a day, both of we primates have the same enzyme lack.

What's wrong with that?

 

3. Tha;t study by Parsons in 1919, like many studies is very flawed by

insufficient knowledge at that time. Have we learned nothing in nearly

a 100 years? Even Linus Pauling, the brightest scientist of his

generation IMO made a critical mistake. His " science " told him that

vitamin C killed all cancers, and he died of prostate cancer while

taking 18 grams of C per day. We know now that C will kill off virus

mediated cancers , but NOT hormone mediated ones. So we learn.

 

4. There's a lot of studies " proving " that vitamin C doesn't kill

viruses, but they were mostly done by Big Pharma, trying to knock off

the competition with phony research. They used amounts of vitamin C too

small to kill off over half of the invading viruses, (1-2 grams). Since

viruses multiply by doubling every 20 minutes or so, these small doses

only slowed down the virus growth. Use huge amounts that work, and you

can kill all virus cells within hours. (I start with 4-6 grams every 15

minutes until " bowel tolerance " , then taper down. My symptoms are gone

in less than an hour, and in 12 hours, I'm over any cold or flu.

 

5. There's a rumor also that vitamin C takes the cobalt out, thus

making B12 (cobalamin) deficiency. I have several mineral analysis

from people who, like me, take at least 2-4 grams of C per day. All

show good levels of Cobalt. Theories don't always work out to be truth.
