Section I. Supernutrition: You Are What You Eat!
Nutrition is viewed as a key regulator of the body's biochemistry, not just a source of calories. The authors demonstrate that even in the absence of obvious deficiencies, a diet can be functionally inadequate and lead to hidden disruptions in enzyme systems, hormonal balance, and immunity. Emphasis is placed on individual nutrient needs, the dependence of health on food quality, and the body's ability to absorb vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.
The central idea is that chronic diseases often begin with chronically inadequate nutrition.
Section II. Orthomolecular Medicine
This section is dedicated to the principles of orthomolecular medicine as a clinical approach based on restoring the optimal molecular environment in cells.
It is shown that standard "norms" of nutrients do not reflect the actual physiological needs of an individual. The application of therapeutic doses of vitamins, minerals, and other natural substances for correcting metabolic disorders, enhancing stress resistance, and accelerating recovery is described. Disease is interpreted here as a consequence of biochemical imbalance, rather than an isolated pathology of an organ.
Section III. Orthomolecular Psychiatry
Mental disorders are examined from the perspective of neurochemistry and nutritional status.
The authors demonstrate the connection between depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and behavioral disturbances with deficiencies of B vitamins, vitamin C, minerals, and amino acids. It is emphasized that the brain is particularly sensitive to nutritional disruptions and oxidative stress.
The main conclusion is that correcting the biochemical conditions of the brain can significantly reduce the severity of symptoms and, in some cases, serve as an alternative or complement to pharmacotherapy.
Section IV. Human Ecology
Human health is considered in the context of the living environment—nutrition, water, air, toxic load, and lifestyle. It is shown that chronic diseases are formed not in isolation, but as a result of prolonged mismatch between the biological needs of the body and the environment.
Particular attention is paid to the accumulation of toxins, soil and food depletion, and how ecological factors exacerbate nutritional deficiencies and metabolic disorders. Humans are viewed here as part of an ecosystem, not as autonomous biological units.
Section V. Orthomolecular Medicine and the Courts
This section addresses the legal aspects of orthomolecular medicine. Conflicts between doctors using nutritional and high-dose vitamin approaches and the traditional medical system are discussed.
The authors show how legal mechanisms, insurance companies, and regulators often hinder the implementation of effective but non-drug therapy methods. It is emphasized that legal disputes often arise not from harm to the patient, but from the mismatch of orthomolecular approaches to established standards.
Section VI. Orthomolecular Medicine and the Press!
The role of the media in shaping public opinion about orthomolecular medicine is analyzed. It is shown that the media often distort or simplify scientific data, presenting nutritional therapy as "unscientific" or "dangerous." The authors highlight the influence of pharmaceutical interests and academic conformity on the presentation of information.
The concluding thought is that public distrust of nutritional therapy is largely shaped not by facts, but by interpretations.
Proteolytic Enzyme and Amino Acid Therapy in Degenerative Disease
This chapter examines the role of proteolytic enzymes and amino acids in the treatment of degenerative diseases. It is shown that in chronic pathologies, the digestion and absorption of protein are impaired, leading to amino acid deficiencies, reduced tissue regeneration, and the accumulation of pathological protein complexes. Proteolytic enzymes contribute to the breakdown of damaged proteins, reduction of inflammation, and improvement of microcirculation. Amino acid therapy is considered the foundation for restoring connective tissue, immune function, and enzyme systems, especially in age-related and chronic degenerative processes.
