<b>Review of <i>The Orthomolecular Treatment of Chronic Disease</b></i>, from the <i>Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine</i>:
<br>
<br>Just as it seems the whole the world is moving to e-books and soundbites of the internet, Andrew Saul, true to his contrarian ways, saw it as necessary to bring to the world this weighty 800-page reference work, <i>The Orthomolecular Treatment of Chronic Disease.</i>
<br><br>Follow his thinking and you'll discover some great reasons why you need this book in your practice. Despite the hundreds of books on the subject, Saul perceived that there is a blind spot: namely, there was no adequate showcase for the longest continuously published orthomolecular resource in the world: <i>The Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine.</i> This book aims to correct that with a well thought out compilation of 46 years of <i>Journal</i> papers on both theory and practice, the historical personages and pioneers, and innovative therapies for chronic conditions as discovered by the many orthomolecular healers who contributed over the years.
<br><br>The book is divided into three major parts. Part One details the foundations of orthomolecular therapy and the science behind it. In this section Saul states that progress in orthomolecular medicine can be divided into two classes: major, paradigm-shifting discoveries and the many smaller advances which build and expand the applicability of the pioneers' overall vision. This process has churned along for a half-century and, as Saul explains, it began with a long, quiet incubation period, until a critical mass of consciousness change took place, and the advances progressed rapidly. This ascent is the exciting age in which we now live, and so, Part One charts some of the major and minor innovations and principles in a selection of 20 <i>Journal</i> papers. Foundational papers, for example, would include the theoretical paper Orthomolecular Psychiatry by Linus Pauling, along with Frederick Klenner's practical Observations on the Dose and Administration of Ascorbic Acid When Employed Beyond the Range of a Vitamin in Human Pathology.
<br><br>Fleshing out this overview are papers which expand the main ideas into specific areas such as cancer and pediatric psychiatry. Wisely included are specific articles on what we might call the "vitamin wars:" the politics of orthomolecular vs. conventional medicine (i.e. safe upper limits of nutrients; research methods; the limitations of drugs and dangers of iatrogenic disease). Through these battles, we gain an appreciation of how even the best ideas get waylaid out of fear and prejudice. Throughout this section Saul excerpts pertinent commentary from his own <i>JOM</i> writings to connect the dots into a coherent whole
<br><br>Part II, Pioneers of Orthomolecular Medicine, show us some of the lively personalities that created this movement in medicine. When we consider that most vitamins were discovered within the last 80 years, we are young; many of the main figures today represent just the second generation after the originators from the last century. With so small a pantheon, nothing can familiarize ourselves better than Orthomolecular Medicine's Annual Hall of Fame Awards which take place at our yearly conferences. In this evening a handful of pioneers are celebrated and presented with a multimedia biography of their life's work. Saul here gathers the biographies of 56 pioneers and advocates, some passed on but many who are still with us. The value of this section is that the OM Hall of Fame is about the only place you're likely to hear of the existence of many of these quiet geniuses, some of whose work is locked away in paper archives and forgotten, despite their tremendous contribution and promise to our sick age.
<br><br>Part III brings the best of <i>JOM's</i> knowledge base to bear on specific chronic diseases such as alcoholism, cancer, depression, schizophrenia and pediatric mental health. Not intended to be an exhaustive list, it samples what is possible, with a selection of disease categories drawn from the classic papers of contributing authors and experts. Instead of searching through the decades of journals, Saul has helpfully selected his estimation of our "greatest hits" for common chronic diseases. In the case of cancer there are clinical papers from Abram Hoffer, Hugh Riordan, Michael Schachter and Linus Pauling. Likewise in schizophrenia are invaluable works by Abram Hoffer, Humphrey Osmond and Jonathan Prousky. These sections are rich in case histories, physician observation, successes, setbacks, and practicalities. What becomes clear here is that chronic disease is where orthomolecular therapy shines; unfortunately it's the one thing that our taxed health care system is ill equipped to explore and adopt.
<br><br>Saul also includes some valuable appendices which include immuno-boosting IV vitamin C protocols of Frederick Klenner, Vitamin C anticancer therapies at the Riordan clinic and radiation injury treatment protocols of Atsuo Yanagisawa. They form a testament to the power of the optimum dose.
<br><br>The Orthomolecular Treatment of Chronic Disease succeeds very well in bringing together over 45 years of published research from the <i>Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine.</i> More than an encyclopedia, it's a self-contained education on the history, personalities and major discoveries all wrapped up with applications to specific diseases. Large as it is, it's imminently more practical than 45 years of brittle journals on a groaning bookshelf. It's one of the best synopses of our venerable <i>JOM</i> as you'll ever see.

<b><b>High doses of vitamins have been known to cure serious illnesses for nearly 80 years.</b></b>
<br><br>Claus Jungeblut, M.D., prevented and treated polio in the mid-1930s, using a vitamin. Chest specialist Frederick Klenner, M.D., was curing multiple sclerosis and polio back in the 1940s, also using vitamins. William Kaufman, M.D., cured arthritis, also in the 1940s. In the 1950s, Drs. Wilfrid and Evan Shute were curing various forms of cardiovascular disease with a vitamin. At the same time, psychiatrist Abram Hoffer was using niacin to cure schizophrenia, psychosis, and depression. In the 1960s, Robert Cathcart, M.D., cured influenza, pneumonia, and hepatitis. In the 1970s, Hugh D. Riordan, M.D., was obtaining cures of cancer with intravenous vitamin C. Dr. Harold Foster and colleagues arrested and reversed full-blown AIDS with nutrient therapy, and in just the last few years, Atsuo Yanagasawa, M.D., Ph.D., has shown that vitamin therapy can prevent and reverse sickness caused by exposure to nuclear radiation. Since 1968, much of this research has been published in the <i>Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine.</i> This book brings forward important material selected from over forty-five years of JOM directly to the reader.
<br>
<br>At 800 pages, <i>The Orthomolecular Treatment of Chronic Disease</i> is a very large book, but it is also a very practical book. If you want to know which illnesses best respond to nutrition therapy, and how and why that therapy works, this is the book for you. Part One presents the principles of orthomolecular medicine and the science behind them. Part Two is devoted to orthomolecular pioneers, presenting an introduction to maverick doctors and nutrition scientists in a reader-friendly way that brings the subject to life. Part Three brings together extraordinary clinical and experimental evidence from expert researchers and clinicians.
<br>
<br><b>If the word "cure" intrigues you, this book will also. </b><i>The Orthomolecular Treatment of Chronic Disease</i> shows exactly how innovative physicians have gotten outstanding results with high-dose nutrient therapy. Their work is here for you to see and decide for yourself.
<br>

<b>FROM THE FOREWORD</b>
<br>
<i>Orthomolecular medicine prevents and treats diseases by providing optimal amounts of substances that are natural to the body. This means that we can prevent and treat illness and maintain ideal health through proper diet with the supplemental addition of vitamins, minerals, essential fats, and amino acids. Orthomolecular medicine has been proven to be effective, with considerable medical evidence from the leaders and pioneers, including Dr. Abram Hoffer and Dr. Linus Pauling, the two-time Nobel Prize winner.
Orthomolecular medicine provides effective treatments without adverse effects, unlike synthetic medicine, by enhancing the body's natural healing power to fight chronic diseases. Our colleagues and other healthcare professionals have successfully treated thousands of patients with chronic diseases utilizing orthomolecular medicine and nutritional therapy.
Nutritional therapy should be the first choice for treatment and prevention of diseases. We should choose standard medicine only when nutritional treatment has proven ineffective, because it is a doctor's duty to choose a safe treatment with the least adverse effects.
<br>
<br>
Nutritional treatment has evolved in the long history of humankind, proving its safety and effectiveness. Orthomolecular medicine has been established as a scientific way of treatment. Our second choice - the standard treatment - uses pharmaceutical drugs as the lead option. The reason for its placement as the second choice is that tens of millions of people suffer every year from the adverse effects of drugs, and hundreds of thousands are dying from them. This simple fact is surely enough for us to realize that our first choice should be nutritional treatment.
Unfortunately, it has become the norm in the last 20 to 30 years for doctors and patients to choose drugs as soon as they spot a disease. What we consider as a "dangerous drug" is their first choice. Behind this trend are the pharmaceutical giants, who grow rich from people choosing the dangerous products. Magazines, newspapers, and television do not seem to hesitate when advertising the drugs that may be harmful for the patients. We have to give a cautious look at how we treat diseases, and take a lead in spreading the safe way of medicine with nutritional treatment.
<br><br>For that purpose, Dr. Andrew W. Saul has compiled <i>The Orthomolecular Treatment of Chronic Disease</i>. Dr. Saul is an educator on orthomolecular medicine for doctors, as well as an evangelist to enlighten the public with the excellence of nutritional treatment. He has made a global contribution by establishing www.DoctorYourself.com where the correct medical information is communicated. He has long served as an editorial board member for the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, and also as the editor-in-chief of the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service. The International Society for Orthomolecular Medicine (ISOM) chose him as an inductee for Orthomolecular Medicine Hall of Fame in 2013 for his contribution to the field for many years. I, as the president of ISOM, deeply appreciate his friendship and support as a great advisor.
Dr. Saul has reviewed numerous studies by nutritional pioneers published in the <i>Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine</i>, the <i>Orthomolecular Medicine News Service</i>, and other publications. In editing this book, he has carefully chosen papers and reviews written by 65 experts.
<br>
<br>As the president of ISOM, representing 23 organizations from 20 nations around the globe, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Saul for publishing this remarkable book, The Orthomolecular Treatment of Chronic Disease. The book brilliantly and successfully captures what we need to know about orthomolecular medicine now. Its information should be viewed as a comprehensive seminal standard that has been long awaited by healthcare professionals worldwide who practice, or are planning to practice, orthomolecular medicine and nutrition. We know that there are doctors and scholars who have skepticism towards this field of medicine. This book will convey the scientific truth about orthomolecular medicine that will remove their suspicion.
Orthomolecular medicine is a science, philosophy, and an art that is beneficial to people's physical and mental health. I truly believe that this book will contribute to save many people who are suffering from chronic diseases, by encouraging the world to know what good orthomolecular medicine can do for their health.

<br><br><b>PREFACE</b>
<br><i>The Orthomolecular Treatment of Chronic Disease presents an opportunity to empower yourself with information about how to improve not only your life span (how long you live), but your health span (how well you live) as well.
People with chronic disease face a psychological and medical conundrum. Modern treatment of chronic illness often involves the use of one or more prescription drugs. These medications can cause medical mayhem within the body, which in turn can increase chronic disease susceptibility (e.g., hypertension, obesity, and immune dysfunction) as well as premature death (e.g., diabetes, heart disease, and infectious disease). What would happen if, instead of being drugged for life, such people had an opportunity to mostly use orthomolecular medicine based on the information in this book?
Orthomolecular medicine relies on natural substances normally present in the human body and brain (e.g., vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids, and hormones). These natural substances support the physiological and biochemical processes that the body and brain use to function normally, enabling people to reap tremendous psychological and physical benefits. In fact, the consistent use of orthomolecular medicine would mitigate other risks that increase chronic disease susceptibility as well as premature death.
Given the fact that many "modern" treatments make well people sick or sick people sicker, it makes sense to use this information to change your life and your future. For every health condition in The Orthomolecular Treatment of Chronic Disease, there are reasonable orthomolecular alternatives that can lessen the burden of drug therapies, or perhaps replace drug therapies altogether. Why wait any longer? Go for it and help yourself and your loved ones live a healthier, more life-affirming, flourishing existence.
