Orthomolecular Homoeopathy

"Orthomolecular medicine describes the practice of preventing and treating
disease by providing the body with optimal amounts of substances which are
natural to the body. The term "orthomolecular" was first used by Linus
Pauling in a paper he wrote in the journal Science in 1968. The key idea in
orthomolecular medicine is that genetic factors affect not only to the
physical characteristics of individuals, but also to their biochemical
milieu. Biochemical pathways of the body have significant genetic
variability and diseases such as atherosclerosis, cancer, schizophrenia or
depression are associated with specific biochemical abnormalities which are
causal or contributing factors of the illness. Want to learn more? The
following essays give a more detailed overview of the nature, efficacy and
history of orthomolecular medicine."

In FN to Aph 1 Hn says:
"His mission is not, however, to construct so-called systems, by
interweaving empty speculations and hypotheses concerning the internal
essential nature of the vital processes and the mode in which diseases
originate in the interior of the organism, (whereon so many physicians have
hitherto ambitiously wasted their talents and their time); nor is it to
attempt to give countless explanations regarding the phenomena in diseases
and their proximate cause (which must ever remain concealed), wrapped in
unintelligible words and an inflated abstract mode of expression, which
should sound very learned in order to astonish the ignorant - whilst sick
humanity sighs in vain for aid. Of such learned reveries (to which the name
of theoretic medicine is given, and for which special professorships are
instituted) we have had quite enough, and it is now high time that all who
call themselves physicians should at length cease to deceive suffering
mankind with mere talk, and begin now, instead, for once to act, that is,
really to help and to cure."

If we are to measure presence of somethings in the body and then prescribe a
potentised substance on the basis of the amounts present, I cannot see it
homoeopathy.

Please also see http://www.orthomed.org/wund.html for some cases.

Perhaps Bill can expand on it so that we can discuss.
