Nutritional Medicine Practitioner A year after receiving my medical registration in 1980, I started to consider incorporating nutritional medicine in my health practice. For my complete background, please click on the link..... Dr. Arthur Echano's background below. Since then, I’ve been giving advice on appropriate nutritional supplements packed with phytochemicals, antioxidants and special ingredients for health restoration, maintenance and preservation. Analyzing Nutraceuticals for Safety, Quality & Effectiveness After almost 20 years of health practice, I thought I knew how to carefully assess vitamins, minerals, food enzymes, herbs and other natural health products for safety, potency and quality. After all, I got the experience and the medical plus complementary medicine education in my resume. Was my assumption right? Not quite. It was rather a humbling experience to realize in March 1998 that I did not know much about the specific criteria in evaluating nutritional products. I just assumed that the product information from those glossy company brochures were spot on. Learning From the Experts It took another 5 years (1998-2003) before I gained valuable practical knowledge from genuine and trusted nutritional experts and manufacturers on how to recognize a lemon from a real McCoy. One important lesson to remember-not all health products are the same. Something that I gradually learned as managing director of Century Life International (Australia) Pty Ltd. Integrative Medicine Consultant Suddenly, I found myself doing consultancy work (for free) to local and overseas health companies. They wanted some sound advice on what health products were worth looking for and where to get high quality breakthrough nutritional/herbal formulations. What are some of these specialized nutraceuticals?
