Orthomolecular Medicine

It all depends on your insurance company. In any case you will need a supplementary package, because basic insurance per definition is not enough. Some insurance companies will provide partial coverage, unfortunately the days when everything got reimbursed are definitely over. Dr. Boeken is a member of the Artsenvereniging voor Integrale Geneeskunde (AVIG) and the Maatschappij ter Bevordering van de Orthomoleculaire Geneeskunde (MBOG). You may want to mention this when inquiring with your insurance company, since membership with the AVIG and/or MBOG may make reimbursement more likely.

In principle what your doctor says is true. However, these days, our diet only provides us with the minimum to sustain health. Extensive food processing has greatly reduced the quality of the things we eat, so a normal diet is no guarantee. Additionally we are exposed to a multitude of external factors (pollution, smoking, food additives, etc.) that have potential detrimental effects on our immune system.  For this reason, the recommended daily allowances are barely sufficient to maintain good health.
