In Nutrition Response Testing we do not diagnose or treat disease - we design a natural health improvement program to help you handle what we find in our analysis of your body's condition.
Analysis
The analysis is done through testing the body's own neurological reflexes and acupuncture points. The neurological reflexes are derived from the part of the nervous system whose job is to regulate the functions of each and every organ. The acupuncture points are selected from the ancient Chinese system of acupuncture, which is thousands of years old.
Nutrition Response Testing is a study of how the different points on the surface of the body relate to the state of health and to the flow of energy in each and every organ of the body. Since the human anatomy has not changed significantly in thousands of years, the utilization of these reflexes and specific points have become extremely useful in our practice because they are so accurate!
Each Nutrition Response Testing reflex represents a specific organ, tissue, or function, and indicates the effect that energy, or the lack of energy, is having on the body. By testing the Nutrition Response Testing reflexes, we have a system of monitoring your body at each visit that has proven to be extremely accurate clinically, and that helps us identify exactly what the body needs and how well we are meeting that need.
The Nutrition Response Testing reflexes provide important information
During an electro-cardiogram procedure electrical energy from the heart is running over the wires. This electrical energy makes the electrocardiograph record the energy pattern in the form of a graph or chart. Analysis of this graph provides data for diagnostic information.
In Nutrition Response Testing instead of connecting electrodes to the specific points being tested, the Nutrition Response Testing professional contacts these points with his/her own hand. With the other hand, he/she will test the muscle of your extended arm. If the reflex being contacted is active, the nervous system will respond by reducing energy to the extended arm, and the arm will weaken and drop. This drop signifies underlying stress or dysfunction, which can be affecting your health.
Health Improvement Program
Let's say the liver or kidney reflexes are active. Then our next step is to test specific, highest-possible quality nutritional formulas against those weak areas, to find which ones bring the reflexes back to strength. Our decades of clinical experience tell us that when we have found the correct nutritional supplements, as indicated by this procedure, and when we work out a personalized nutritional supplement schedule, we have accomplished the most important first step in correcting the underlying deficiency or imbalance that caused the reflex to be active in the first place.
In medicine, the medical doctor makes a diagnosis and then uses drugs or surgery to attack or suppress the symptom, or to surgically remove the "offending" organ or part. In Nutrition Response Testing we use "DESIGNED CLINICAL NUTRITION" to correct the cause of the problem, so that the body can regain the ability to correct itself.
Designed Clinical Nutrition
Designed Clinical Nutrition is not 'over-the-counter' vitamins, which are pharmaceutically engineered chemical fractions of vitamin structures reproduced in a laboratory and therefore lack the essential synergistic elements normally present in WHOLE food.
Carrots are an example of a whole food high in Vitamin A Complex. A "complex" is something made up of many different parts that work together. So, if we were looking for a food high in Vitamin A, carrots might be one of our choices. Synthetic vitamin A does not contain the whole "Vitamin A Complex" found in nature. To correct a deficiency of any of the components of Vitamin A Complex, one needs a supplement that was made from whole foods that were rich in this complex - not from chemicals re-engineered in a laboratory to look like one little part of the Vitamin A Complex and has been labeled as "Vitamin A."
Unfortunately vitamins that are being used today generally need to have only a small percentage of their actual content derived from natural sources to be labeled "natural". If they are not derived from whole foods, they often make you even more deficient and nutritionally out-of-balance. They can create other health problems because they do not contain all of the co-factors found in nature that make the vitamins work.
"Designed Clinical Nutrition" is exactly that: designed (especially prepared based on a specific plan) clinical (pertaining to the results gotten in clinical use or actual practice on huge numbers of patients over many years) nutrition (real food, designed by nature to enable the body to repair itself and grow healthfully). It is whole food in a tablet, capsule or powder, concentrated in a vacuum, cold-process system that preserves all of the active enzymes and vital components that make it work as the Nature intended. These real food supplements have been designed to match the needs of the body, as determined by the positive response shown when tested against the active Nutrition Response Testing reflexes that were found through your individual Nutrition Response Testing analysis.
These are nutrients you are simply not getting, or not assimilating, in your current diet. These deficiencies may be due to your past personal eating habits and routines, but it is for sure due, in some large extent, to the lack of quality in the foods commercially available in grocery stores or restaurants today.
Summary
1. Through an analysis of your body's reflexes, we help you to determine the exact nutrients you need to supplement your diet, in order to bring about balance and better health. 2. We recommend highly concentrated therapeutic formulations available to you in tablets, capsules, or in powdered form to "supplement" your current diet. 3. Depending on your individual situation, we might also suggest that you make some specific changes in your diet & eating habits, and in your routines, in order to bring about the best possible results.
Restoring Your Health
Each cell, tissue, and organ in your body is in the process of replacing itself every day, month, and year. The health of each organ is dependent on making the correct nutrients available to upgrade or to maintain the health of the body at a cellular level. Nutrition Response Testingsm tells you when and what to use to bring about the desired result. Designed Clinical Nutrition provides the appropriate basic materials.
A complete Nutrition Response Testing analysis done on a patient on each subsequent visit reveals the next layers of dysfunction so these can also be addressed and corrected. In this way, each patient gets a completely individualized approach, in the correct sequence for his or her body. Very much like opening a combination lock, you must use the right numbers in the right sequence and in the right direction at the right time - then the lock falls open.
By following the correct sequence as revealed through Nutrition Response Testing, you don't "shot-gun" your diet or supplements. Nutrition Response Testing analysis helps to determine the appropriate food supplements - designed to give your body the best possible chance of getting well and staying that way. The deficiencies or imbalances lead to a breakdown in resistance, or immunity, and a loss of the ability to cope with environmental stresses (chemical, microbial, or otherwise). The good news is that it is possible to reverse the process!
The initial evaluation is $95 and follow-ups are $35.
