WELCOME TO NUTRITION RESPONSE TESTING®

Most of our patients have been referred to us by other satisfied patients.  Perhaps you heard about us from someone who was happy with the results they achieved here.  However, you may have heard about us, you probably want to know what Nutrition Response Testing is, and what we do.

WHAT IS NRT?

It is important that you understand what NRT is, and what our recommendations are based on.  Otherwise you may be less likely to follow through, and actually do what is necessary 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 all this in the first place

The results we are achieving with NRT are often in the 90%, and better, range.  The only reason we are here, is to help you get well.  Hopefully you are here for the same reason.  That is why I want you to understand NRT and how it works right from the start.

LET’S GET STARTED

In traditional medical practice there are two key parts:  the diagnosis (identifying and/or naming the “disease” or syndrome) and the treatment (drugs, surgery, etc.).

In NRT we do not diagnose or treat disease.  But we also have two key parts to our treatment:  the analysis, and the personalized health improvement program (using designed clinical nutrition).

Simply put, first we do an analysis of your body and condition.  Next 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.

NRT 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.

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 NRT 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 NRT 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 your body to get you to the next stage of improved health?

HOW DO WE ACCESS  THE NUTRITION RESPONSE TESTING REFLEXES IN ORDER TO GET HIS INFORMATION?

If we were to hook you up to an electrocardiograph 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.

With NRT, instead of connecting electrodes to the specific points being tested, the NRT doctor contacts these points with his own hand.  With his other hand, he 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.

WHY IS THE PERSON WHO REFERRED YOU FEELING BETTER?

Because when we did a Nutrition Response Testing analysis for him, or her, we found the “active” reflexes, and made specific nutritional recommendations to help the body return to a better state of health.

We are prepared to do the exact same thing for you now.  Isn’t that exciting?  But the best is yet to come.

THE “PERSONALIZED  HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM”

Let’s say NRT indicates your 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 we then work out a highly personalized nutritional supplement schedule.  We have now 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 traditional medicine, the medical doctor makes a diagnosis 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?

Designed Clinical Nutrition is exactly that:  Designed (especially prepared based on a specific plan), Clinical (pertaining to the results obtained 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 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 NRT reflexes that were found on your individual NRT analysis.  These are nutrients you are simply not getting, or not assimilating from your current diet.  These deficiencies may be due to your past personal eating habits and routines, but it is definitely due, to some extent, to the lack of quality in the foods commercially available in grocery stores and restaurants today.

Designed Clinical Nutrition is not the same as ‘over-the-counter’ vitamins.  Over-the-counter vitamins are pharmaceutically engineered chemical fractions of vitamin structures reproduced in a laboratory.

Synthetic vitamins do not contain all of the substances found in nature that make the vitamins work.  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 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.  It has been engineered in a laboratory to look like one small part of the Vitamin A Complex and has erroneously been labeled as “Vitamin A”.

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.

So-called “scientific research,” done with these poor-quality substitutes, repeatedly “proves” that vitamins don’t do much good for anyone!  You can probably guess who is paying for these “scientific research” studies.

SUMMARY

Through an analysis of your body’s reflexes, we will help you to determine the exact nutrients you need to supplement your diet, to bring about balance and better health.

We make these highly concentrated therapeutic formulations available to you 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 to your diet and eating habits, and in your routines, to bring about the best possible results.

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 NRT can evaluate and improve your health concerns.

A complete NRT analysis can be done on your initial visit, and on each subsequent visit, thereby revealing the next layers of dysfunction so these can also be addressed and corrected.  In this way, each client gets a completely individualized handling, in the correct sequence and in the right direction at the right time – then the lock to your future health falls open.

By following the correct sequence as revealed through NRT, you don’t “shotgun” your diet or supplements by indiscriminately trying to take vitamins to cover all the things you might be deficient in.  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 to get well and stay 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 breakdowns in resistance, or immunity, and a loss of the ability to cope with environmental stresses (chemical, metals, infections, or otherwise).

The good news is that with NRT we can reverse this 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 NRT 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 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/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.
