A Must Read in Conjunction with Orthomolecular Medicine For Everyone By Dr. Abram HofferBy johnp on 9 August 2015
Before reading this book, I highly suggest a ‘Must Read’ is “Orthomolecular Medicine for Everyone” by Dr. Abram Hoffer. It will make reading Jeff’s outstanding book, even more helpful to your health. PHD/MD Hoffer, and PHD/Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling developed the fields of Orthomolecular Medicine, Orthomolecular Psychiatry and Orthmolecular Nutrition. Orthomolecular Medicine uses nutrition and high doses of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes and sometimes natural hormones to treat diseases. Hoffer in fact used high doses of Vitamin D3 to treat lupus, cancer, etc in conjunction with other vitamins. However, he never really uncovered how high you might have to go, like Jeff did and the Vitamin K2 and Vitamin D3 paradox was not well understood when he developed Orthomolecular medicine in the 50s-80s. When Vitamin D3/K2 are used with other cofactor vitamins and minerals, I suspect the healing will be even greater than Jeff reported. Thanks to Mr. Bowles pioneering work, I took my Vitamin D3 dose from 10k IU a day to 40k IU and saw a remarkable healing of my Crohn’s condition.
M. W. Ellwood Hi, I see a fellow enthusiast for Hoffer/Pauling.
One question: did you ever experience headaches after increasing the D3 dose?
In the past, I have sometimes experienced this, and it sometimes, although not always, coincided with >10,000 IU / day doses.
