CellMed 2025; 15(1): 1.1-1.3Objective: Overactive bladder caused by aging is accompanied by various symptoms, including urgency, frequency, nocturia, and urgency urinary incontinence. These symptoms significantly impact patients' quality of life. Therefore, appropriate treatment interventions are necessary to alleviate these conditions.
Case Report: This case study focuses on an elderly woman in her 80s who experienced significant discomfort in daily life due to nocturia. The patient reported long-term discomfort with more than five episodes of nocturia per night. Her medical history included hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and gastritis, for which she had been prescribed medication. Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT), which includes collagen and anthocyanins, was administered to alleviate the patient's symptoms.
Results & Conclusion: After 14 days of applying the nutritional therapy, the patient's nocturia episodes were reduced by half. Additionally, improvements in sleep quality and overall quality of life were observed. This case demonstrated the utility of OCNT in patients exhibiting symptoms of overactive bladder.

CellMed 2025; 15(1): 2.1-2.3Objective: This report aims to evaluate the effects of Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT) on symptom improvement and functional recovery in a patient with macular degeneration.
Case Presentation: A 60-year-old Korean woman presented with macular degeneration, complaining of reduced visual acuity, ocular discomfort, and dryness. She underwent OCNT for six months, which included various nutrients such as antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and carotenoids. After treatment, the patient experienced significant symptom improvement, and ophthalmological examinations confirmed stabilization of macular health. The patient no longer reported discomfort due to vision decline in her daily life, and her quality of life improved.
Conclusion: This case suggests that OCNT may positively impact symptom relief and functional recovery in macular degeneration. Supplementation with antioxidants and carotenoids may play a crucial role in maintaining macular health. However, large-scale studies are necessary to generalize these findings.

CellMed 2025; 15(1): 3.1-3.3Objective: The mechanisms behind muscle pain are somewhat understood, but identifying the exact cause and starting point of the pain remains challenging. Myalgia and pain in the musculoskeletal system can serve as indicators of various diseases and can lead to significant discomfort in daily life, making it crucial to accurately identify the cause, assess the intensity of the pain, and provide appropriate treatment.
Case Reports: A Korean patient in her 50s who complained of discomfort in walking and at night due to myalgia. The patient underwent Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT) for approximately one week, using oral and topical preparations containing methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), magnesium, selenium, glucosamine, and Panax notoginseng. After the therapy, the degree of pain significantly improved, and after the treatment ended, the patient reported minimal discomfort, even when standing for long periods at work.
Conclusion: In this case study, OCNT significantly improved muscle pain, which helps alleviate muscle inflammation and strengthen muscle function. While this case report is limited to a single patient, it suggests the significance of personalized OCNT for individuals.

CellMed 2025; 15(1): 4.1-4.3Objective: Inflammation is one of the mechanisms through which the body protects itself from external pathogens and foreign substances. It can arise from various causes, including tissue damage, infections, and antigen-antibody reactions. If not properly managed, it can lead to inflammatory hair loss, significantly disrupting daily life. Therefore, accurate identification of the underlying causes and appropriate treatment are essential.
Case Report: This case study involved a Korean male in his 40s who experienced inflammation and inflammatory hair loss caused by a lipoma. The patient reported discomfort due to frequent episodes of inflammation and alopecia areata on the occipital region. Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT) was applied, utilizing anthocyanins, omega-3, bamboo leaf extract, methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), and plant-based oils. As a result, significant reductions in redness and swelling in the occipital area were observed, along with notable improvement in the symptoms of alopecia areata.
Conclusion: This case demonstrated that OCNT could significantly improve inflammation-related symptoms and associated hair loss in the patient. The study also highlighted the usefulness of tailoring OCNT prescriptions to suit the patient's symptoms and condition. However, as this research is limited to a single case, follow-up observation is necessary to confirm the sustainability of the improved condition.
