A History of Natural Alternative Medicine Part 3
By 1a2b | July 3, 2010
Over 50 years ago, Kaufman showed remarkable foresight half a
century into the future of ortho molecular medicine, describing
how the lack of a just a single nutrient can cause diverse
diseases, including what is now known as attention-deficit hyper
activity disorder.
Emanuel Cheraskin, MD, DMD. Dr. Cheraskin was among the very
first to recognize and demonstrate that oral health indicates
total body health. “Health is the fastest growing failing
business in western civilization,” he said. “Why is it so many of
us are 40 going on 70, and so few 70 going on 40?” The answer, he
said, was our neglect of the paramount value of nutrition, an
educational deficiency that Dr. Cheraskin devoted a lifetime to
eradicating.
Hugh Desaix Riordan, M.D. Hugh Riordan was one of the most
knowledgeable, both as a maverick par excellence and as an
historian of mavericks. Hugh was an ortho molecular fighter, who
fought hard and consistently on behalf of ortho molecular
concepts. He was challenged legally when he wanted to treat his
patients with high dose vitamins in the hospital. He won. He was
the first to demonstrate how large doses of vitamin C are
chemotherapeutic for cancer patients. His main work had to do
with the schizophrenic syndrome and with the treatment of cancer
using nontoxic vitamin C chemotherapy. Hugh was the leader in
making available to cancer patients a treatment that is effective,
safe, economical and very tolerable.
Abram Hoffer, M.D., PhD Dr. Abram Hoffer has spent the past five
decades conducting research related to the practice of ortho
molecular medicine, which emphasizes the use of nutrients in
optimum doses for the treatment of a wide range of diseases.
In 1952, Dr. Hoffer and his colleagues began developing a more
effective treatment for schizophrenia that involved a biochemical
hypothesis. They tried two nutrients: vitamin C and vitamin B3.
He found that we could halve the two-year recovery rate of
patients just by adding these vitamins to the program. This was
the first major systematic attempt to use large dosages of
vitamins therapeutically. In 1955 he also discovered that niacin
lowered cholesterol levels.
These pioneers and others were first ridiculed, and were ignored
by the medical establishment, but were eventually proven to be
right.
