AONM collaborates with MMD, a German laboratory using advanced techniques like extracellular flux analysis (Seahorse XF) to explore cellular energy production and function. Testing can provide insight into how efficiently cells produce ATP and maintain energy balance. Identify underlying dysfunction in ME and neuroimmune conditions.

FREE WEBINAR ON PROSTATE CANCER - HAPPENING TONIGHT!
Join us tonight for our webinar on the 'Evaluation of the Clinical Potential in Prostate Cancer Using Maintrac®'
Prostate cancer remains the most common cancer among men, and while many cases are slow-growing, finding ways to distinguish stable disease from progression is key to avoiding overtreatment.
In this webinar, Professor Pachmann — a leading pioneer in liquid biopsy and circulating tumour cell (CTC) analysis — will discuss how Maintrac® and Stemtrac® technologies provide valuable, non-invasive insight into tumour behaviour, therapy response, and biomarker expression.
She will share findings from their latest research on the role of Maintrac® during radiotherapy, and how these innovative tools can support truly personalised care in both early and advanced stages of disease.
📅 Date: Tuesday 2nd December 2025
🕖 Time: 19:00 GMT | 20:00 CET | 14:00 EST
💡 About the Speaker, Professor Dr. Med. Katharina Pachmann:
🧬 Pioneer in circulating tumour cell (CTC) research
🏥 Founder of Maintrac® liquid biopsy methodology
📈 Expert in applying CETC tracking to improve therapeutic decisions
🔬 Lead author on numerous peer-reviewed studies in oncology and molecular diagnostics
Whether you’re a practitioner, researcher, or clinician supporting patients with prostate cancer, this webinar will offer practical insight into the next generation of cancer monitoring and management.
Around 1 in 6 adults in the UK are thought to be deficient in Vitamin D – the “sunshine vitamin” that’s not only key for bones, but also plays a role in mood, energy levels, sleep, immunity, and even heart health. (Source: UK Government Review, 2023)
Deficiencies in vitamins like D, B12, or A don’t always show up right away — but they can quietly drain your energy, focus, and resilience.
✨ That’s where ArminLabs Vitamin Testing comes in. We make it easy to check your micronutrient status and uncover imbalances before they take a bigger toll on your health.
🔍 Tests available include:
• Vitamin D (25(OH)D) & Calcitriol
• Active B12 & full B vitamin panel (B1–B9)
• Vitamin A & K1
✔️ Simple blood test (serum or EDTA)
✔️ Ideal if you struggle with fatigue, low immunity, poor absorption, or neurological symptoms
Tick-borne illnesses can affect multiple systems in the body… sometimes in ways you’d never expect. From swollen joints to fever, anxiety, fatigue and more, the picture isn’t always straightforward.
Standard tests can miss hidden infections like Lyme and its common co-infections, which is why better awareness matters.
✨ We’ve created a free guide: “Symptoms List of Lyme Disease & Co-Infections” to help you:
✔ Explore the different symptom patterns of Lyme disease, Bartonella, Babesia, Ehrlichia/Anaplasma, Rickettsia & others
✔ Notice potential overlapping signs
✔ Feel more informed when speaking with your practitioner
✔ Understand why symptoms may come and go in cycles
If you or someone you love has been searching for answers, this resource is a great place to start. 💚
Many Lyme disease patients often struggle with EBV infections and gut-related immune issues. Watch Dr. Armin Schwarzbach explore detection, reactivation, and innovative treatment approaches in the full webinar, available via the link in the comments bellow.

Did you catch the latest Parliament debate?
MPs discussed the crisis facing people with ME, a serious physical illness affecting over 400,000 people in the UK. They highlighted devastating patient experiences, unsafe care and chronic underfunding, while calling for specialist services, proper research investment and fair treatment across healthcare, education and welfare.
A Westminster Hall debate on government support for people living with ME/CFS takes place today, Wednesday 19 November 2025.The debate was led by Tessa Munt ...

🧬 Could the real issue be copper, not iron?
Many symptoms labelled as iron-deficiency anaemia could actually reflect impaired copper transport, a factor often overlooked in standard testing.
Our Root Cause Profile sheds light on bioavailable copper and its crucial role in:
⚡ Energy production
🩸 Red blood cell formation
🧠 Neurotransmitter function
💡 Thyroid health
🔍 What this panel measures:
• Caeruloplasmin – copper’s transport protein, rarely checked
• Retinol (Vitamin A) – needed to activate copper
• Full iron panel – to see iron in context, not isolation
• Magnesium (RBC), vitamin D, zinc, uric acid and more
💡 Understanding copper in context can help uncover hidden imbalances behind fatigue, anaemia, and other common symptoms.
The Root Cause Protocol highlights the often-overlooked importance of bioavailable copper in human physiology. Copper plays several critical roles, especially in energy production—without it, mitochondria cannot function properly. It is also essential for erythropoiesis (the production of red bloo...

The Academy of Nutritional Medicine (AONM) was established in 2005. It has always had an interest in supporting, developing and promoting cutting-edge research in the field of integrative medicine with a particular focus on patients who are suffering from poorly understood conditions that are often misdiagnosed as psychiatric when they have biomedical causes.
For over a decade AONM has held national and international conferences and seminars attracting researchers, scientists, doctors and patients from around the world. AONM conferences are well renowned. They focus on educating both the professionals and patients in an inclusive and interactive way. AONM ensures that their conferences are also patient-centred.
The Academy’s main areas of focus are the underlying drivers of chronic complex conditions, and has been instrumental introducing an understanding of the bacterial and viral causes. A key to this has been to find tests that actually evidence persistent infection in chronic cases where serology has its shortcomings. As a result, AONM has pioneered testing methods from abroad where these technologies have long been established, such as ArminLabs for vector-borne disease, Moleculera Labs for infection-driven autoimmune encephalitis (also called PANS/PANDAS). A natural development was therefore moving into the area of Lyme Disease and co-infections as well as other stealth pathogens and biotoxins.
AONM’s testing activity has therefore become very strong and unique. We also represent Maintrac in Germany which runs tests of circulating cancer cells and can also test for chemo-sensitivity and the effectiveness of natural agents against these cells on a personalised basis.
The Academy has an additional specialism on the mitochondria due to its contacts with research taking place in the UK and the rest of Europe.
We act as a force for the integration of complementary and conventional medicine, and increasing numbers of NHS doctors attend our conferences, use our tests and involve us in their teams on occasion in complex cases.
