OMNS (Feb 4, 2023) Linus Pauling first coined the word "orthomolecular" in an article he wrote in the journal Science in 1968. Quite simply, ortho means correct or right, and molecular refers to the simplest building block of any substance. Dr. Pauling started the whole concept of orthomolecular medicine by pointing out that the only true way to prevent or treat any medical condition is to restore whatever important natural substances (nutrients, vitamins, minerals) that are depleted. And the corollary of this approach to healthcare is that no patient is sick because they have low levels of any synthesized agents (prescription drugs) that are not found in nature.
