In Spain we have two large Fairs of the Natural Therapies sector, such as Expo EcoSalud and BioCultura; as well as Infarma in Madrid and Barcelona. Year after year the number of attendees as exhibitors is increasing due to the increased interest of young people and families for a healthier diet and a healthier health care without side effects. Proof of this is the growing number of companies in the food, naturist and pharmaceutical sectors that are offering the market products that coexist with this new philosophy of healthy and healthy life and at the same time the Spanish television networks are broadcasting programs that promote a life healthy.

Orthomolecular therapy is not a new therapy. The word orthomolecular was used for the first time by Linus Pauling, double Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1954 and peace in 1962. Pauling was one of the first to describe the structure of DNA and defined orthomolecular medicine as a way to "preserve health and treat diseases by administering the optimal amount of molecules that are necessary for the organism. " On the other hand, Dr. Kousmine began to work on nutritional supplementation in 1949 with patients with multiple sclerosis, cancer, chronic polyarthritis ...

After two decades the medical association Kousime International was created and then the Kousmine Foundation, which integrates prestigious doctors. Jean Seignalet, doctor of medicine, is the author of more than two hundred publications in major medical journals in English and French, and author of the book Food, the third medicine. He developed an entire strategy successfully applied to thousands of patients, based on food correction and the simultaneous supply of essential nutrients. If we rely on the Enide survey made by the Spanish Agency for Food Safety we can see that the Spanish population is overfed but at the same time undernourished, with deficiencies of certain essential nutrients, and therefore, depending on the cases, it is necessary to provide specific nutritional supplements . Whenever nutritional recommendations and nutritional supplements are established, they should be individualized and should be done, as explained by the Spanish Association of Orthomolecular Nutrition (Aentoc) , through a diagnosis and an individual nutritional assessment of each person. Based on specific analytics, deficiencies and nutritional deficiencies are determined and in this way the professional can recommend the nutritional supplements that each person needs.

Therefore, this program seeks that people who develop it acquire some knowledge about orthomolecular therapy to know its positive effects as well as its contraindications according to the person taking into account that more and more pharmacies and parapharmacies offer these nutritional supplements.

You can apply for the validation of credits for the Master's degree in Naturopathy and Parapharmacy (60 ECTS), for the university degree of expert in naturopathic diet therapy and orthomolecular nutrition (30 ECTS), or for the university degree of expert in orthomolecular nutrition ( 24 ECTS); as long as the admission requirements of each title are met.
