Course content
In modern medicine, the approach to the prevention and treatment of diseases is increasingly based on scientific findings that show that diseases can be prevented and treated with the help of the body's own substances, so-called micronutrients.
Many of these micronutrients are of natural origin and have been researched in mammalian biology. This opens up the possibility of prevention through targeted nutrition and active intervention in orthomolecular therapies in the event of illness.
Contents of the course
The following topics are covered as part of the Orthomolecular Medicine course:
- Definition and rules of orthomolecular medicine: Explanation of the principles and rules of orthomolecular medicine.
- coenzymes, vitamins and trace elements: Consideration of the biological significance and levels of action of these micronutrients.
- Oxidative and nitrosative stress: Analysis of the biological effects of oxidative and nitrosative stress on the development of disease.
- Recognition of deficiency symptoms and toxic effects: Differentiation of micronutrient deficiency symptoms and toxic effects.
- areas of application of omega-3 fatty acids: Discussion of the possible applications of omega-3 fatty acids and the theory of orthomolecular formulation.
- Holistic health perspectives: Highlighting different perspectives in the context of health.
Course objectives
This course aims to provide participants with the following competencies:
- The ability to collect relevant findings for orthomolecular therapy.
- The ability to make diagnoses and select suitable therapy options based on the findings.
- The ability to precisely define and assess orthomolecular formulations.
