Medication

We live in a world where medication is prevalent. Many of us take medication either for temporary pain relief or we are prescribed a medication by our doctor for a specific ailment or disease. It is sometime necessary to take medication when a situation is acute and painful enough that a person needs immediate relief. And many health issues will require medication to keep it from progressing or counter its effect, but medication is never without side effects. It is wise to be informed and know the side effects of any medication you may be taking. Some are mild while others may be more severe. 
A site that I use is https://www.drugs.com/. Type in the name of the medication in the search bar and it will come up with information as to the medication’s use, recommendation, and side effects. 
COMPOUNDING PHARMACIES? 
In most pharmacies, the medication is pre-packaged and has a pill of a specific size with its specific dose and depending on your gender and size, you are recommended a dose that fits you as close as possible. Not always easy with a pill that is one size to come up with an exact dose for you. Some pill may be cut in half but sometime, it is just a dose that is not quite exact but close. A compounding pharmacy can make their own pills by putting together the right amount of the needed medication for you specifically, so it is an exact dose. 
Also, if you are taking many medications, it may be difficult to assess what the interaction is between these medications. It may be that a different medication is a better fit. A compounding pharmacist can look at all the medication you are on and determine if they all work fine together. He can determine if an alternative medication would be a better fit with all that you are taking. He can also streamline your medication to minimize the side effects. After reviewing you medication, the compounding pharmacist would write a letter addressed to your doctor with his recommendation. Your doctor can then change your prescription(s) accordingly. 
You can google compounding pharmacy near you to find one that is close to you.

It 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.


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. 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.
