Definition of "Orthomolecular"
The term "Orthomolecular" literally means 'correct molecules,' with the molecules being vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and essential fatty acids that are essential for proper functioning of the body.
Orthomolecular therapy is health preservation and disease prevention with supplementation (sometimes in high doses) of substances normally present in the body.

A substance that interferes with normal system function is a drug. A substance that restores normal system function is a nutrient. A nutrient can be a drug. A drug cannot be a nutrient. Marty Hinz, MD
Unlike many services available, we offer a holistic assessment as well as intervention. The reason is that we know from research, that when you are unwell, the body suffers; when the body suffers, you are likely to mentally suffer, and vice-versa.
If you are already on medication, that is fine, we will work alongside the treatment you are already on, as you will need nutrients and supplements to assist with your recovery. Drugs and chemicals alone will not cure you as your body lives on nutrients and not chemicals.
