'''Matthias Rath''' (born 1955 in Stuttgart / Germany) is a controversial German physician, businessman, vitamin entrepreneur and politician. He is the inventor of an [[alternative medicine]], the so called "[[cellular medicine]]" (in German: Zellularmedizin) which according to Rath allegedly "heals" severe diseases like AIDS or cancer. This doctrine can been seen as an interpretation of [[orthomolecular medicine]] (OM), which is based on the ideas of Linus Pauling.

The claims of healing properties of the [[cellular medicine]] have been shown as invalid by scientific studies. In industrial nations vitamin deficiency is very seldom a problem and would have to be diagnosed individually. Only then the actually missing vitamins should be substituted. That's especially the case for liposoluble vitamins.
