Orthomolecular Medicine
At ONE80CENTER, our treatment team is multidimensional, offering a variety of services based on specialties developed through years of experience. Based on his extensive expertise in a variety of holistic disciplines, James Rotello offers both Acupuncture and Orthomolecular Medicine to clients at ONE80CENTER. Through the advanced application of orthomolecular medicine, Jimmy Rotello aims to restore the optimum environment of the human body by adjusting and healing the imbalances of each client’s individual biochemistry.
Employing megavitamin therapy, orthomolecular medicine is an alternative treatment of the disease of alcoholism and addiction with a goal of achieving optimal health. Using nutrients prescribed as dietary supplements or derived from diets, orthomolecular medicine fosters a restoration of a client’s internal equilibrium by employing substances natural to the body such as vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. First developed by double Nobel-laureate Linus Pauling in 1968, the key idea behind orthomolecular medicine is that genetic factors affect not only the physical characteristics of individuals, but also their biochemical balance and production. As a consequence, biochemical abnormalities often can be contributing factors leading to the disease of alcoholism and addiction.
Applying the techniques of orthomolecular medicine, James Rotello designs a program for each client to gently reverse toxicity that has built up in the body over an extended period of time. Through Meridian Testing and laboratory testing of client’s fluids, specific needs are diagnosed for individualized regimen. When necessary, laboratory tests are used to evaluate specific needs. The treatment focuses on the biological root causes that lead a client to seek relief through alcoholism and addiction.
The theory behind orthomolecular medicine focuses on the holistic conviction that if the treatment team at ONE80CENTER only addresses the symptoms of the disease, a client’s treatment will be indefinite. To achieve the path of true long-term recovery, the root causes need to be discovered and effectively treated as well. Through orthomolecular medicine therapy, a client can benefit from reduced need for detox medications that often have their own adverse side effects and withdrawal periods. This opens up a new world of alternatives to clients who are prone to self-medication through addictive substances, thus promoting a sustainable sober lifestyle.
