Nutrition Response Testing
What is Nutrition Response Testing?

Nutrition Response Testing is a very precise and scientific method of determining imbalances in the body. It was designed through decades of experience on tens of thousands of patients and from many different types of health care practitioners. Since this procedure has so much research and clinical experience behind it, there is a great chance that it can too, help YOU!!

When you are first analyzed using this method it will be very different from anything you have ever experienced.

As a matter of fact, when we first saw this method of nutritional analysis performed, we were quite skeptical. After seeing the amazing results that doctors who were utilizing this technique were getting, we knew we had to study it further to see if it was for real. We are very glad that we did because now we too are helping people like you get their health and their lives back.

If you too want to drastically change your health through Nutrition Response Testing, it is important that you first understand how it works. 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? A complete Nutrition Response Testing analysis can be done on each patient on each subsequent visit, revealing the next layers of dysfunction so that they too can be corrected. This allows for each patient to get a completely individualized handling in the correct sequence for his/ her body. This is very much like opening a combination lock. You must use the right numbers, in the right sequence, in the right direction and at the right time - then the lock opens.

By following the correct sequence as revealed through Nutrition Response Testing, we can determine the correct program for you - designed to give your body the best possible chance of getting well and staying that way.

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 analyze your body to determine what imbalances exist then we design a natural health improvement program to help you handle what we find in our analysis.

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 the 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.

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.

How do we access the Nutrition Response Testing reflexes in order to get this information? If we 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 is that the 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. The graph could then be interpreted.

During 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 the other hand, he/she will test the muscle strength 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 dysfunction, which can be affecting your health.

The "Personalized Health Improvement Program" Once we find an active reflex, the next step is to test specific, time-tested and proven, food form nutritional formulas against those weakened areas to find which ones bring the reflexes back to strength. Then when we combine our clinical experience with the results we receive from this procedure, we create a nutritional program that is designed JUST FOR YOU!! 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 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). 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 that are lacking as a result of nutrients you are simply not getting, or absorbing, in your current diet. These deficiencies may be due to your past eating habits, the poor quality of foods available in the grocery stores and restaurants and so on.

Summary

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. 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". Depending on your individual situation, we might also require that you make some specific changes in your diet and eating habits, and in your routines, in order to bring about the best possible results.

How are these products produced?

Standard Process Whole Food Supplements are produced by first starting with a wide variety of carefully chosen, organically grown vegetables. Next the water and fiber are carefully taken out using a vacuum (without heating or cooking the vegetables) resulting in a concentrated food which is then used to make the bottle of Standard Process Supplements. 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 Wisconsin, in soil free of pesticides. Chemicals are ever used. Ph.D.'s check the soil before the seeds are sown to insure proper fertility of the soil. All weeding is done by hand.
B.) The machinery involved in the processing of these products is made of only glass and stainless steel.
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. Your vitality and energy is derived from live food. Most foods today are dead or are not really foods at all (boxed cereals, canned vegetables, soda pop, etc.).

You Too Can Have your Life Drastically Changed! 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 basic necessary 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? Once that is achieved, do you see how you might be able to use this approach to stay well?

If you are accepted as a Nutrition Response Testing case in our office, your chances of greatly improving your health are very high. In our experience, if our analysis indicates that you are not a 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 a Nutrition Response Testing / 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.
