Register for The Executive Summit
The annual National Conference has been renamed the Executive Summit to reflect the true mission of the event, to bring together top professional leaders. Throughout our membership bases we have many key leaders who are committed to addressing the problems and concerns facing their field. By meeting collectively, we are in a greater position to facilitate and influence positive change.
This year's Executive Summit promises to be an extraordinary, multidisciplinary event that will bring together professionals from the forensics, homeland security, psychotherapy, and integrative medicine disciplines with the common goal of learning. The presentation schedule is filled with sessions on the latest issues, science, and trends led by some of the top professionals in the field. In addition, attendees will have the opportunity to network with others in their immediate discipline as well as be exposed to professionals who they may not normally come in contact with. This unique event facilitates connections and contacts that otherwise may not have been made. You will not want to miss this exciting event, make plans to attend today!

Orthomolecular Medicine; A scientific modality for Natural Healing
Submitted by: Catherine R. Farrell MS, PhD, ROHP, DAAIM
Orthomolecular medicine, as conceptualized by double-Nobel laureate Linus Pauling, aims to restore the optimum environment of the body by correcting imbalances or deficiencies based on individual biochemistry, using substances natural to the body such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, trace elements and fatty acids. The key concept in orthomolecular medicine is that genetic factors affect not only the physical characteristics of individuals, but also their biochemical makeup. Biochemical pathways of the body have significant genetic variability and diseases such as atherosclerosis, cancer, schizophrenia or depression are associated with specific biochemical abnormalities which are causal or contributing factors of the illness.
