Full of great info.

As I have had this book now for 5 days I will not pretend to had studied everything it as of this writing and I will add comments to this review in the future. One thing is for sure is that the author is not a self promoter, as multiple reviews have not appeared on the first day the book was available on Amazon, like in the case of Cholesterol Clarity.Andrew Saul's 800 page compilation on the treatment of chronic disease with therapeutic amounts of substances naturally occurring in the human body ( such as minerals, vitamins, co factors ) should be enough to convince any open minded person that this approach should be tried ahead of any pharmaceutical approach to the treatment of chronic disease. The book is organized into three sections: Foundations of Orthomolecular therapy ( 130 pages ) Pioneers or Orthomolecular Medicine ( 43 pages ) and about 600 pages dealing with the specifics of treatment of Alcoholism, Alzheimer's Disease, Cancer, Depression and Anxiety, Drug Addictions, Eye Diseases. Fatigue, HIV/Aids, Hyperactivity , Radiation Sickness, Schizophrenia and Psychosis.In Part one and part three is a compilation of short articles written by specialists within the field, and edited by the author. Because of this format the reader will come across some duplication of facts, but these tend to reinforce the learning of the non professional reader. The style of writing is accessible, though written at level that will engage the health care provider. Many of the case histories where details of protocol that could only be used by a doctor are probably not that helpful to the average reader, other than to convince him that important therapies can be achieve through this approach. Hopefully, the detailed discussions of case histories will convince some independent doctors to offer some of these therapies to their patients.This book gives no guidance in the use of herbs to heal.I was at first disappointed to see no discussion of liposomal vitamin C. However the authors colleagues have provided a good summary in their discussion as to how vitamin c and its potential to help people recover from the Ebola virus. see: http://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v10n13.shtml

It's not a comprehensive guideline to Orthomolecular medicine. However it does cover a lot of diseases based upon clinical experience. The most fascinating article was showing how easy it is to halt the progression of AIDs. How many lives could that have saved? For having the courage to print that, it should get five stars.I suggest first reading Orthomolecular Medicine for Everyone by PHD/MD Abram Hoffer, which is probably still the best book on Orthomolecular medicine. If you were hoping for an updated version to that outstanding book, this is not it. Unfortunately its missing treatments for many major diseases like Crohn's, and the total picture on type 2 diabetes, alzheimers. I suppose as it takes a long time to conduct the RCT and get it published. So if you're looking for cutting edge information this book is missing a lot.I highlight some of the major disappointmentsIt does not cover the importance of Serrapeptase (enzyme of a silk worm), which maybe as important substance as Niacin at treating inflammation, heart disease, and in treating alzheimers. Serrapeptase plus nattokinase has been shown to reverse Alzheimers in 100 % inone rat. It does not incorporate Hoffer's extensive work on Alzhemiers and Dementia either. Hoffer/Walkers book 'smart nutrients' is stillprobably the best guide. Nattokinase is another major orthomolecular substances like niacine, taurine, for the heart that should have been covered.It misses many of the modern smart nutrients for mental/brain health such as Lithium orotate, Saint Johns Wort, phosphatidylserineIt does not cover the importance and safety of high doses of vitamin D3 and K2 in treating Crohns, Luspus, MS, Cancer . See Jeff Bowlesbooks on Vitamin D3 and Dr. Zaidis.It leaves out Linus Paulings/Hoffers epic trial of cancer, their work 'Healing Cancer', and is badly outdated compared to Russell Blaylocks book, Natural Healing Strategiesfor Cancer.I think as far as diabetes it misses that most diabetes is caused by a deficiency in the trace minerals of vanadium, chromium, manganese,and other vitamins and minerals. It does not cover the importance of japanese bitter melon extract either in getting blood sugar back to normalquickly. Look at the supplements Doctors Choice for Diabetics, it has an almost perfect formulation of herbs, vitamins, minerals etc for diabetics.If you have Crohn's there are four good natural treatments (plus Hoffers, Orthomolecular Nutrition).1) Cannibis Oil (aka RSO, 90 grams over 120 days) see 'Run from the Cure ' on youtube2) Low Dose Naltrexone Therapy (lowdosenaltrexone.org)3) High Dose Vitamin D3/K2 therapy4) Curcumen, and Aloe Vera AMP supplementsI'm very glad I purchased this but found very little that was on the cutting edge of orthomolecular treatment.The Orthomolecular MDs really need to get together and write a book that gets updated every 2 years. No one has really picked the ballup from where Hoffer left off, and carried it up field very far.Sadly Pubmed is still necessary reading and the Journal of Orothomolecular Medicine.

EVERYONE Should Read This Book! The knowledge will be lost otherwise as Big Pharma puts out medicine with so much side harmful side affects. We need natural vitamins and minerals to compliment what our modern lifestyle has taken out of our food from processing. Our bodies are amazing if given the proper nutrients to heal! I am a retired Dietitian and this book makes lots of sense and gives the statistics of actual tests of what vitamins and minerals can do to help us heal. I had no idea the positive effects for people with mental illness and addictions. I knew about the help for cancer but WOW!
