Orthomolecular is the use of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, usually in high doses, to treat health problems. As best I can gather from the reading, the idea is that high doses of these substances, in the correct combinations, sometimes combined w/ Rx meds, can produce therapeutic effects.
For instance...niacin is used to lower cholesterol. Various forms of B3--niacin, niacinamide, etc.--are fairly standard in OM protocols for psychiatric issues. High doses act as an antioxidant and also have an effect on GABA receptors.
check out www.doctoryourself.com and see what you think. I'm clearly no expert--I'm just now "in recovery," and a lot of what I"m recovering from is "treatment"--but OM has helped me. Its not terribly expensive, it seems to have side benefits, and its easy to adjust what you're taking to suit your needs.
