TRANSFORMATION

The Integrated Orthomolecular Network (ION) website provides a wealth of educational information on orthomolecular treatment for the public and professionals.

In 2016, after extensive consultation, the Board of Directors approved the creation of the Integrated Orthomolecular Network (ION). ION was built on the solid foundation created by the International Schizophrenia Foundation (ISF).  In August 2016, after further deliberations, the ION Board of Directors decided to dissolve ION. The work of the ISF and its programs (Mindful, Canadian Society for Orthomolecular Medicine, Orthomolecular Health, International Society for Orthomolecular Medicine and the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine) lives on through the ION website. The International Society for Orthomolecular Medicine (ISOM), the Orthomolecular Medicine Today conference and the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine will continue to operate under the ISOM banner.
