title: [When does nutrition turn into therapy?].
abstract: There are close interrelations between therapeutic and nutritional measures. Suitable nutrition is one of the most effective tools of preventive medicine. Dietetic treatment can support medicamentous therapy and help to spare drugs. Finally nutrition ranges as predominant or exclusive therapy in the treatment of certain anatomic or function defects of the gastrointestinal tract or of inborn errors of metabolism. The introduction of parenteral nutrition led to a considerable extension of therapeutic possibilities especially in the field of surgery.
