'''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.

Pauling himself has been criticised for making overbroad claims.<ref>Barrett, SJ (2001-05-05). [http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/pauling.html "The dark side of Linus Pauling's legacy], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quackwatch Quackwatch]</ref> Raths attempts to give his exaggerated claims scientific semblance are hindered by the fact that even Paulings work does not really support them.

Rath sells several products in Europe, ("[[micronutrient]]s" and vitamins), which are marketed for legal reasons from the Netherlands. (see: [[Dr. Hittich Gesundheitsmittel]]) <!-- Cannot find an english website of Hittich. Skip that one for en-Wiki? -->

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.
