What is Nutrition Response Testing?
Nutrition Response Testing is a non-invasive method of analyzing the body for unknown allergens and toxins. These toxins may include food allergies, metals, chemicals, and immune system responses. Toxins may be causing underlying stress or dysfunction in certain areas or organs in your body. This dysfunction often manifests itself by presenting symptoms; such as headaches, IBS, heartburn, stomach pain, joint pain, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, and inconsistent sleep patterns. When these are corrected through safe, natural, nutritional means, the body can repair itself to obtain optimum health.
Our process involves setting up an initial analysis to see where the dysfunction lies within your body, then recommending a personalized whole food health improvement program. Lastly, we recommend follow up visits to monitor your progress and help you achieve your goals!
What are we testing for?
Through our analysis, we are testing your body's neurological reflexes. These reflexes are the body's way of telling us what and how your nervous system is doing - as it is the nervous system's responsibility to regulate the body's functions for each and every organ. The testing includes organs, glands, joints, muscles, etc.
These reflexes are tested on the surface of the body and then the findings are analyzed.
How soon will I see improvement?
Although every case is different, we often hear enthusiastic reports from patients in as little as 4-6 weeks. The fastest recoveries are often from those who have most closely adhered to their recommended nutritional program.
How do we get the body's "reflex" information?
Energy flows exist between all parts and organs of the body. These flows can become disrupted for a variety of reasons. This disruption is easily discovered with our testings.
As a Nutrition Response Testing practitioner, we will do a full body scan to properly assess each of your reflexes.
The practitioner will do the analysis by contacting your extended arm with one hand, and contact the specific reflex area with the other hand. If the tested reflex is stressed, your nervous system will respond by reducing energy to the extended arm (which will weaken and cause it to drop.) A drop in the arm indicated underlying stress or dysfuntion in that area which can be affecting your health.
Once the underlying stress is corrected, this weak muscle response will no longer occur.
Since we directly use the body for analysis (versus doing lab tests) it is faster and tends to be just as (if not more) accurate. There are also no huge expensive, no drugs, surgery, nasty needles or laboratory fees to cover.
Following your consultation you will be given the results in a way that you can understand, with a specific nutritional program to follow.
is it important to stick to the plan?
Generally chronic health problems do not suddenly develop overnight. They develop over a long period of time (often years) with improper diet (which cause nutritional deficiencies and imbalances) and environmental influences. All of which have gotten you into your current health condition.
Therefore, the sooner and more thoroughly you implement your program, the sooner you will start to see results. While on your program, if you continue those same old habits and routines that contribute to your current condition, your body's condition may not improve as you hope. Total commitment to your program is strongly urged.
What are my chances for recovery?
While you are on your own designed clinical nutrition program, you will continue on your health recovery process.
We will continue to monitor your progress and adjust your program as needed when additional layers show up.
This procedure will assist you in attaining the maximum possible health benefits and get the real underlying health issues handled.
