The Ortho Molecular Answer

General Health

Although no one can predict when illness will strike, there are a lot of steps you can take to ensure that your body is in balance.  Doing so may avoid many illnesses assuming that your diet is clean and your body is properly nourished.

The modern North American diet does not provide the appropriate nutrients required for the body and brain to function.  Additionally, there are a lot of toxins that we ingest on a daily basis that can harm your body.
