“Orthomolecular Medicine for Everyone” by Hoffer and Saul (tbc)
Orthomolecular Medicine For Everyone: Megavitamin Therapeutics for Families and Physicians by Abram Hoffer and Andrew W. Saul
Completed
Orthomolecular medicine is a branch of naturopathic medicine (although Dr. Abram Hoffer was a medical doctor and psychiatrist).
Readers might find this book useful. In my opinion, it appears to contain some very important information on the use of megavitamin therapy (for example, vitamin C and niacin, and others) in the context of major diseases (e.g., cancer, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s and arthritis). So basically it’s discussing the idea that nutritional deficiencies are one of the causes of disease and also whether or not large doses of particular vitamins are an effective treatment.

I have the book and treasure it. A Medical meta-research writer, I fully appreciate the conciseness, readability, and usefulness this work is to the world and this country at this ugly time in our medical history. Like them, I am strongly miasmic and have seen the “impossible” diagnosis stopped and healing take place enough times to know that ortho medicine is on task, and is way, way, underappreciated. In the month of March so far, I have gifted 5 copies to needy friends, and plan on purchasing a lot more. For me, this is the Honest Version of health issues to match the joke between covers of the Physician’s Desk Reference (PDR) so hallowed by the mainline Pharma and their lackeys. This is the Orthomedicine Desk Reference. It is honest, brief, accurate, and effective. Just what the People wanted. I give it an A+; or on a 0-100, a 99; or in statistical terms: 3 1/2 Standard Deviations over the norm. Thin air, but these two Winners and 65 authors earned it.
