Treatment of obesity with orthomolecular medicine

Treating and curing obesity and weight problems with ordinary amino acids is the basis of Orthomolecular Medicine. Large doses of natural proteins called amino acids can repair the imbalance in the brain and repair its malfunction. These amino acids are affordable and used in therapeutic doses much higher than the levels normally found in food. The concept of orthomolecular medicine is based on the use of very high doses of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, or botanical extracts for cell repair and enhancement of normal brain activities. Amino acids are also key to supporting the increase in muscle mass needed to keep metabolism high as weight loss occurs. Weight loss without increasing muscle mass and exercise will result in decreased metabolic rates and the body will adapt to low daily calorie requirements as weight loss is achieved without intervention.

Many times there is a problem with the body that prevents it from losing weight easily. These problems include thyroid disease, hormonal imbalances, diabetes, impaired heart function, neurotransmitter imbalances, chronic viral infections resulting in lack of energy and fatigue, chromosomal problems in people with developmental problems, fatty liver disease, impaired function of the spleen and digestive tracts that are significantly longer than normal, problems digesting fat. A fatty liver is a very big problem in weight loss. This may be due in part to a high-fat diet and high levels of toxins from pesticides or heavy metals. Toxin detoxification is a great idea along with herbs to support good liver function. Heavy metal or pesticide toxins should be removed with far-infrared sauna or hot yoga and oral chelators such as coriander, organic wheatgrass, or chorella. Milk thistle is a very good herb for liver support. Fat cells store toxins, and a fatty liver has additional reserves of toxins that affect cellular metabolism and the normal release of fat for energy. Additional herbs that are very good for improving liver function are Gynostemma Pentaphyllum and Hawthorn Berries. These can be taken in capsule form or as a tea. Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids and CLA are very good for reducing liver fat that is not due to alcoholism.

Amino acid therapy is very good for weight loss and it works. These weight loss effects include decreased appetite, impaired glucose regulation, adjustment of the cell’s energy metabolism, and acceleration of fat release during energy production. 5-HTP, carnitine, ortinine, phenylalanine, theanine, and arginine are amino acids that are effective for weight loss. These amino acids must be used in therapeutic doses for several months. You should be able to discern within seven to twelve days if the therapy is successful.
