I invented the term " Pharmanutrics" from the Greek word "Pharmacon" (drug) and nutrition, in order to determin the multiple relation between drug, food and disease.
I wrote and published a book by using the above mentioned term in order to actively promote the use of food not only as a preventive or therapeutic agent per se but also as a vehicle to increase the efficacy and safety of specific drugs. By this way I feel I contribute to a healthier but also safer world
Save traditional medical practices coming from indegenous cultures. A lot of still undiscovered medicines might be lost if this culture is not "recorded" and saved. A part of this culture is the way people use food therapeuticaly or preventively. I want to take their best practices, and educate / facilitate people to use proper food in order to increase efficacy & safety of drugs they have to take
