Nutrition Response Testing
What is Nutrition Response Testing?
Nutrition Response Testing is a non-invasive system of analyzing the body to determine the underlying causes of ill or non-optimum health.
Our clinically proven system may be quite different from any other healing practice that you may have experienced.
We will have some questions for you before and during the testing. The actual procedure is simple and direct, with the body providing all of the information and feedback needed. We use the extraordinary properties of the human cells and tissues to bring about healing and health changes... exactly as Nature intended.
The body responds to the procedure reliably and consistently. This feedback is so precise that it opens the door to a safe and lasting recovery, even in cases where everything else has failed!
The body has the full potential to fully repair itself, when given the right nutrients.
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 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 testing.
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 indicates underlying stress or dysfunction 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 machines, 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.
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.
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 contributed 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?
Our long-term experience in a wide variety of cases tells us the first thing we must determine is whether or not you are a "Nutrition Response Testing Case." If someone is NOT a "Nutrition Response Testing Case" then it is unlikely that Nutrition Response Testing will ever help you. However, if you ARE a "Nutrition Response Testing Case", then in our experience, it is our belief that nothing else will help you as much.
What happens next?
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.
WHY YOU ARE HERE:
If you are like other people who come to us for help, then most likely:
- You may have one or more health conditions that won’t go away.
- You have visited doctors, or even alternative practitioners, but the results weren’t what you hoped or expected.
- Health conditions are significantly affecting your life. Perhaps this also affects your career, family, and/or personal finances.
- You realize that these conditions are probably not going to get better unless the real source of the problem is found and corrected.
Does the above describe your situation? Then you’ve come to the right place . . .
Your chances of recovery have never been higher!
DESIGNED CLINICAL NUTRITION
What is DESIGNED CLINICAL NUTRITION?
It is defined as:
Designed:Especially prepared for you, based on a specific plan.
Clinical: Pertaining to the results achieved in clinical use on a multitude of patients over many years.
Nutrition: Real food, as designed by Nature, to enable the body to repair itself and become healthier.
After you receive your analysis, you will get a specifically designed nutrition program, based off the information your body provides.
Most programs include dietary suggestions (as well as whole food supplements) to aid your body in healing itself.
Concentrated whole food supplements are used. These have been prepared by a unique process that preserves all of the active enzymes and vital components.
How do I know which supplements are right for me?
After we identify the underlying reason your body is creating symptoms, we can isolate and verify the precise whole food supplements (and quantities) your body needs to resolve it’s problems. Our goal is to have you take as few supplements as possible, with your body being fully addressed and restored at the same time.
What are "whole foods"?
"Whole food" is defined as "food that has undergone very little processing and has been grown or produced without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers."
A good example is carrots. Carrots are rich in vitamin A complex. A "complex" is something made up of different parts which work together. Synthetic vitamins do not contain the whole complex (as found in Nature).
If testing indicated a vitamin A deficiency, we would look for a whole food high in vitamin A complex (and carrots would be a likely source). A supplements rich in this complex would then be included in your program. We pride ourselves on only using the highest quality whole food supplements available.
Whole food supplements are entirely derived from specific whole foods, organically grown and prepared in such a way that preserves their vital enzymes and vitamins; making them the optimum vitamin-mineral products.
Now in incredibly concentrated form, your body can get complete nutrition from this small tablet! By restoring the nutrition on which your body was founded, it is possible to enable your body to heal itself . . . just as Nature intended.
I thought I ate well . . .
Although deficiencies may be due to illness, it is likely that other factors may be contributing to the problem also, some of which may be contained in the food you eat every day.
A few factors typical of the "food" commercially available in all grocery stores and restaurants:
- Microwaving
- Genetic engineering
- Food coloring
- Synthetic additives
- Flash Freezing
- Preservatives
- Hormones and antibiotics (found in meat, chicken, etc.)
- Produce grown in soil that has been robbed of its nutrients
- Harmful chemicals and metals (such as pcb’s and mercury in some fish)
If any of these are involved in the creation or processing of your food, then what you are eating is really just "disguised" as food.
Not only does this "food" have insufficient nutritional value, it may also contain toxins which work against your body and your health.
In contrast, whole foods that have not been altered or contaminated contain genuine replacement parts as part of Nature’s design.
Can’t I just eat better?
There has been a drastic decline in the quality of food over the past 70 years, resulting in a nation of sick people who are dependent on pharmaceutical drugs. Your body’s function is founded on nourishment from the environment (which until recently did not include heavy metals, toxic chemicals and pesticides).
Current food conditions make it next to impossible to get all of the nutritional components your body requires to heal and/or maintain resiliency.
How long will it take for me to start feeling healthy again?
Each case is handles on an individual basis. The majority of patients who adhere to their programs have reported noticing positive changes in the first 4 to 6 weeks (some longer, and some sooner). Your improvement is directly proportional to the adherence to your program.
Do I have to stay on a Designed Clinical Nutrition regimen forever?
Through the course of your program additional layers will show up. For example, if you have a long term health problem you may find that your body may (or may not) want to address this first. Your body will dictate its priority each time you are tested.
When its priority problem is handled with correct nutrients, your next test may reveal another major issue (which may have been long hidden and unhandled).
As this happens, we will adjust your program. Our goal is to have you on as few supplements as possible.
Good dietary habits will always be encouraged. If you continue poor habits, this will perpetuate ill health and inhibit your body’s natural ability to heal itself.
As you feel better and your health improves, you will likely find yourself wanting to maintain a well balanced and healthy diet as your normal routine.
How do I get a Designed Clinical Nutrition program?
As a Nutrition Response Testing patient, you will receive an individualized program based on the results of your analysis. The program will match the exact needs of your body through diet and nutritional supplementation.
The elements in your personal Designed Clinical Nutrition program are nutrients that your body is not currently receiving and/or assimilating.
These are the nutrients that you are simply not getting or not assimilating in your current diet.
AMERICANS ARE OVERFED AND UNDERNOURISHED
As a nation, we eat poor-quality foods that have been stripped of nutrients. We do not consume enough fresh fruits and vegetables. Many of us get our whole grains from instant rice, refined wheat breads, pastas, and cereal. We eat a tremendous amount of prepackaged, pre-made meals. One-quarter of Americans eat at fast food restaurants each day. Americans are overfed and undernourished.
We eat plenty, but we are still starving. The foods we eat are not providing our bodies with the nutrition they need to survive and be healthy. We are starving our bodies and we are sick. We suffer from diabetes, heart attacks, obesity, and the list goes on and on.
There is Good News
Given proper nutrition, the human body has an amazing ability of keeping itself healthy. If properly fed and given the right nutrients, the human body is designed to repair itself.
To do so, we need to eat a healthier diet, exercise, and take high-quality supplements made from whole foods. Whole food supplements supply our bodies with then nutrients we are not getting from our diet - all the vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, and phyto-nutrients that foods possess - in the way that nature intended, in a whole food form.
Only whole food supplements complete the nutrition gap
Whole food supplements are made by concentrating foods. When concentrated correctly, the foods supply a multitude of nutrients. These nutrients work synergistically, meaning they work together, to provide you with optimal nutrition for good health.
A word of advice: Not all whole food supplements are the same. Many whole food supplements available in today’s marketplace range in quality. Companies are riding the wave of supplement popularity rather than focusing on commitment and quality.
At LeMay Chiropractic, we believe that given the proper nutrition, your body has the amazing capability of keeping itself healthy. We also believe that nutrition should be individualized to meet each patient’s needs.
We look forward to assisting you with your goal for improved health.
