Welcome to Nutrition Response Testing™
•        Most of our new patients have been referred to us by other satisfied
patients.
•        Did you hear about us from someone who was very happy with their
results?
•        However you heard about us, you probably want to know what “Nutrition
Response Testing” is - and what we do.

What is Nutrition Response Testing™?
Nutrition Response Testing
is very precise and scientific. However, if I
were to analyze you using Nutrition Response Testing before it was explained
to you, you might find it strange, or simply not believable - only because it is  
probably very different from anything you may have experienced before.

I can completely understand that because when I first saw this type of work
being done, my first reaction was "HMM, what is this strange stuff?" No one
was more skeptical than I was. As a result, I studied Nutrition Response
Testing extensively to see if it was for real.  I am sure happy I did because it
has helped me improve my health, and because of Nutrition Response
Testing, we are here and are able to help you improve your health.

Quite frankly, if you want to get healthy and stay healthy, it is important that you
understand what Nutrition Response Testing is, and what our
recommendations are based on.Otherwise, you are less likely to follow
through and actually do what you need to do to get well.  To put it simply, if you
don’t follow through, you won’t get well.  And if you are not going to get well,
why do it in the first place?

The results we have been having with Nutrition Response Testing are often in
the 90% and better range.  The only reason we are here is to help you get
well.  We have no other reason for being here and, hopefully, you are here for
that same reason.  That is why I want to make sure you get the correct
understanding of what Nutrition Response Testing is right from the start.

Let’s get started
In medical practice there are two key parts:  the diagnosis (identifying and/or
naming the “disease” or syndrome) and the
treatment (drugs, surgery, etc.).
In Nutrition Response Testing we do not diagnose or treat disease - but we
also have two parts:  the
analysis and the personalized health
improvement program (using designed clinical nutrition)
.
Simply put,
first we do an analysis, and then we design a natural health
improvement program
to help you handle what we find in our analysis of
your body and condition.

   
First the 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 and function of the body.
Interestingly, 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!

        
Think about it
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.
Doesn’t this sound like something you would want for yourself in order to
predict, with certainty, what is needed and wanted by the body to get you to
the next stage of improved health?

How do we access the Nutrition Response Testing™
reflexes in order to get this information?
If I were to hook you up to an electro-cardiograph machine and take a
reading, that would make perfect sense to you, right?
What is actually happening during this 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.  I
could then study this graph and tell you what it all means.
Here is what we do with Nutrition Response Testing.  Instead of connecting
electrodes to the specific points being tested, the Nutrition Response Testing
doctor contacts these points with his/her own hand. With his 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.

Why is the person who referred you feeling better?
Because we did a Nutrition Response Testing analysis for him or her, we
found the “active” reflexes, and then made specific nutritional
recommendations to help the body return to a improved state of health.
We are prepared to do the exact same thing for you now.  Isn’t that exciting?  
However, the best is yet to come.

The second part – the “Personalized Health Improvement Program”
Let’s say the liver or kidney reflexes are active.  Then what?
Our next step is to test specific, time-tested and proven, 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 highly 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.  By following
the program as precisely as possible, you are well on your way to restoring
normal function and improving your health.  It’s that simple!
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.

What exactly is DESIGNED CLINICAL NUTRITION?
First of all, Designed Clinical Nutrition is not ‘over-the-counter’ vitamins.  Over-
the-counter vitamins are pharmaceutically engineered chemical fractions of
vitamin structures reproduced in a laboratory. They are not “whole food,” and
the body does not actually recognize these as anything even vaguely
beneficial (to put it mildly).  Please ask about our audiotape:
“The Whole
Truth About Vitamins,”
for an entertaining, in-depth explanation of this
aspect of vitamins and other nutritional supplements.
Because they are not made from whole foods, “over-the-counter” vitamins
lack the essential synergistic elements normally present in WHOLE foods.
An example of a whole food could be carrots.  Carrots are high in
Vitamin A
Complex.
 A complex is something made up of many different parts that
work together.  Synthetic vitamin A does not contain the whole “Vitamin A
Complex” found in nature.  So, if we were looking for a food high in Vitamin A,
carrots might be one of our choices.
If one actually were deficient in any of the components of Vitamin A Complex,
one would be wise to seek out 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 that has
erroneously been labeled as “Vitamin A.”
Vitamins that are being used all over today generally only need to have 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.
So-called “scientific research,” done with these shoddy substitutes,
repeatedly “proves” that vitamins don’t do much good for anyone!  Can you
imagine who pays for these “researches”?
“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 Creator 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 on 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 make these highly concentrated therapeutic formulations available
to you in tablets, capsules, or in powdered form to “supplement” your current
diet.  That’s why they are called “food supplements.”
3.        Depending on your individual situation, we might also require that you
make some specific changes in your diet & eating habits, and in your
routines, in order to bring about the best possible results.

How are these products produced?
One example of a designed clinical nutrition supplement that we use is called
“Catalyn”.  This product is produced by starting with a wide variety of carefully
chosen organically grown vegetables, taking the water and fiber out using a
vacuum, low heat process - without heating or cooking the vegetables, and
then utilizing the concentrated food to make a bottle of Standard Process
Catalyn Tablets.
The key to this whole procedure is the way it is done, using the “Standard
Process” method:
A.         Standard Process nutrients are derived from plants grown on their
own farms, in soil free of pesticides – and no chemicals are ever used.
Ph.D.’s check the soil before the seeds are sown, to make sure of the fertility
of the soil – and even the weeding is done by hand.
B.        The machinery involved in the processing of these products is made of
glass and stainless steel only.
C.        The temperature used in processing harvested plants is never raised
above the point of 90 degrees Fahrenheit, so that the active ingredients are
not cooked; they remain active and alive, and have a very long shelf life.

Your vitality and energy is derived from live food.  Most foods today are all
dead - or are not really foods at all - as in boxed cereals, canned vegetables,
soda pop, etc.  You can readily understand the difference between dead,
devitalized pseudo-foods, with the synthetic or isolated vitamins on the one
hand, and “Designed Clinical Nutrition” and a diet of real foods, on the other.

There is a great deal of technology
and know-how behind what we do
Having been designed through decades of clinical use on tens of thousands
of patients, and on patients from many different types of health care
practitioners, you can be assured that Nutrition Response Testing is capable
of evaluating and solving your health concerns.
A complete Nutrition Response Testing™ analysis can be done on each
patient on each subsequent visit, thereby revealing the next layers of
dysfunction so these can also be addressed and corrected.
In this way, each patient gets a completely individualized handling, 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.  With a correctly done
Nutrition Response Testing analysis, we can determine the correct food
supplements for you – designed to give your body the best possible chance of
getting well and staying that way.

           Conclusion
Many people we see in our practice have eaten themselves into their current
state of ill-health, to one degree or another. The deficiencies or imbalances
lead to a breakdown in resistance, or immunity, and a loss of the ability to
cope with environmental stresses (chemical, microscopic, or otherwise).
The
good news is that it is possible to reverse the process!   

It is possible to restore your health?
What could be more natural?  What could be more correct?  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.
Designed Clinical Nutrition provides the right basic materials.
Nutrition Response Testing™ tells you when and what to use to bring about
the desired result.
With this understanding of what we do, can you see how we might be able to
help you do something effective to get yourself well?  
And once that is achieved, do you see how you might be able to use this
approach to stay well?
Now you have the complete 1-2-3 package. You now know:
•        What we do
•        How and why we do it  
•        What you need to do to have the potential of restoring your health and
staying healthy.
But in the end you are the one responsible for your own condition.  And with
our guidance, we feel that – if you are a Nutrition Response Testing case –
your chances of greatly improving your health can be as high as 90% or better.
In our experience, if our analysis indicates that you are not an Nutrition
Response Testing / nutritional case, then in all probability, while a nutritional
program may give you some benefit, it may not give you the maximum results
you desire.  
But if our analysis confirms that you are an Nutrition Response
Testing / clinical nutrition case, then, in our experience, nothing else
will ever come close to what you can possibly achieve using Nutrition
Response Testing and Designed Clinical Nutrition.
We wish you the best of luck in your quest to take back full responsibility for
your health.   Just remember to do it one step at a time, and that we are here
to guide you in that quest.
Once we accept your case, you can count on us to do everything in our power
to help you achieve your health objectives, and to help you achieve a healthier,
happier life.

May you never be the same.
