NUTRITIONAL KINESIOLOGY

What is Nutritional Kinesiology?

In medical practice there are two key parts: the diagnosis (identifying and/or naming the “disease” or syndrome) and the treatment (drugs, surgery, etc.). However, in Nutritional Kinesiology we do not diagnose or treat disease, but we also have two parts: the evaluation and the personalized nutritional therapy program. Simply put, we start with an evaluation and then design a natural nutritional therapy program to support your body’s innate ability to handle what we find in that evaluation.

Part One: The Evaluation

The evaluation is completed by testing the body’s own neurological reflexes, also called acupressure points. These reflexes are the part of the nervous system responsible for regulating our body functions. They are specific topical points on the body that energetically relate to the underlying organs and systems within the body. The reflex (acupressure) points are selected from the ancient Chinese system of acupuncture which is thousands of years old. Since the human anatomy hasn’t changed significantly in thousands of years, the utilization of these specific points is extremely useful in our practice because they are very accurate!

Nutritional Kinesiology is a study of how the different reflex points on the surface of the body relate to the body’s internal well-being. In other words, it evaluates the flow of energy throughout the body which represents the body’s internal state of health. Each Nutritional Kinesiology reflex point corresponds to a specific organ, tissue or function and indicates the effect that energy, or lack of energy, is having on the body. By testing the Nutritional Kinesiology reflexes, we have a non-invasive system of monitoring your state of health which is proven to be extremely accurate clinically and 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 Nutritional Kinesiology reflexes?

If you were hooked up to an electrocardiograph machine and we took a reading, that would make sense to you, right? But, what is actually happening during this procedure? Electrical energy from the heart is running over the wires of the machine and this electrical energy makes the electrocardiograph record the energy pattern in the form of a graph or chart. Then, this graph or chart can be evaluated to determine your state of health. Nutritional Kinesiology is very similar. However, instead of connecting electrodes to the specific points being tested, the Nutritional Kinesiology practitioner contacts these points with his/her own hand while using their other hand to test the muscle of your extended arm (indicator muscle). If the reflex being contacted is “active” (or experiencing stress), the nervous system responds by reducing energy to the extended arm, and the arm will weaken and drop. This drop signifies underlying stress or dysfunction in the corresponding organ or system in the body.

So, how does this help to restore your health? Once we find the “active” reflexes, we then determine what is causing the underlying stress and design a specific nutritional program to help the body restore, rebuild and repair...all using the same Nutritional Kinesiology technique.

Part Two: The Personalized Nutritional Therapy Program

Let’s say the liver reflexes are active, then what? Our next step is to use specially formulated kits to determine what is causing the reflex stress (I.E. metal/chemical toxicity, scars, foods immune challenges, etc.). Once we identify what is causing the stress, we use specific, time-tested and proven, highest possible quality nutritional supplements against those weak areas to find which ones bring the reflexes back to strength indicating the body needs it. Clinical experience demonstrates that when we design a nutritional therapy program by using this procedure to find the correct nutritional supplements and/or lifestyle changes, we have accomplished the most important first step in correcting the underlying deficiency or imbalance that caused the reflex to be active in the first place. All that is necessary from here, is that you follow this program to the best of your ability. It’s that simple to restore your health! In medicine, the medical doctor makes a diagnosis and then uses drugs to attack or suppress the symptom, or surgery to remove the offending organ or part. However, in Nutritional Kinesiology, we use Nutritional Therapy to naturally correct the cause of the problem so the body can restore, rebuild and repair itself back to optimal health. Doesn’t that sound better?

What exactly is Nutritional Therapy?

It is important to understand that Nutritional Therapy is NOT “over-the-counter” vitamins. Why? 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). Please ask about the audiotape “The Whole Truth About Vitamins”, for an in-depth explanation of this aspect of vitamins and other nutritional supplements. Since they are not made from whole foods and whole herbs, over-the-counter vitamins lack the essential synergistic elements normally present in whole foods and herbs. Bottom line...isolates of vitamins and minerals DO NOT work as well, as often or as long as whole food forms. In most cases, over-the-counter vitamins are treated as toxins in the body which adds to the body’s internal stress and workload.

Let me explain...an example of whole food is a carrot. Most people know that carrots are high in Vitamin A, but it’s actually Vitamin A Complex. A “complex” is something that was made up of many different parts that work together. Synthetic Vitamin A does not contain the whole Vitamin A Complex found in nature. So, if a client is deficient in any of the components of Vitamin A Complex, we would seek out a supplement that was made from a whole food source rich in this complex (carrots), not from chemicals re-engineered in a laboratory to look like one little part of the Vitamin A Complex which has been erroneously labeled as “Vitamin A”.

Please be aware that vitamins being sold today generally only need to have 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. They can create other health problems because they do not contain all the co-factors found in nature that make the vitamins work. Basically, the only way the body can use these “vitamins”, is to pull the remaining co-factors not included in the “vitamin” from the stores in your body which depletes the stores. If the body doesn’t have the co-factors to pull from, the “vitamin” is treated as a toxic substance and the body must process it for elimination. So-called “scientific research” using these over-the-counter vitamins has repeatedly proved that they don’t really help anyone restore optimal health. Guess who pays for these research studies? Additionally, if pharmaceutical companies are really concerned with your health, why would they continue to create these types of vitamins?

The good news is that the supplementation we use for your Nutritional Therapy program is whole food in a tablet, capsule or powder that is concentrated in a vacuum, cold-pressed system which preserves all of the active enzymes and vital components that make it work as nature 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 Nutritional Kinesiology reflexes found during your Nutritional Kinesiology evaluation. These are nutrients you are simply not getting, or not assimilating, in your current diet. The deficiencies you are experiencing may be due to your past personal eating habits and routines, but it is for sure due to the lack of quality in the foods commercially available in grocery stores or restaurants today.

How are Whole Food Supplements Produced?

One example of a supplement we use is called “Superfood”. This product is produced by starting with a wide variety of carefully chosen, organically grown, land and sea vegetables; dehydrating them using a vacuum, low-heat process (without heating or cooking the vegetables); and then utilizing the concentrated food to make a container of Country Doctor Herbals Superfood. The key to this whole procedure is the way it is done, using the “Country Doctor Herbals” method:

A. Country Doctor Herbals nutrients are derived from plants grown in soil free of pesticides and no chemicals are ever used. Ph.D.’s check the soil before the seeds are sown to make sure of the fertility of the soil and even the weeding is done by hand.

B. The machinery involved in the processing of these products is made of glass and stainless steel only.

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 with a very long shelf-life.

The body’s vitality and energy is derived from live food. Most foods today, such as boxed cereals, canned vegetables, soda pop, etc., are all dead or are chemically created and not really foods at all. You can readily understand the difference between dead, devitalized pseudo-foods with the synthetic or isolated vitamins on one hand, and the “Nutritional Therapy” and a diet full of real foods on the other.

Summary

1. Through a non-evasive evaluation of your body’s reflexes, we determine the exact nutrients your body needs to supplement your diet in order to restore, rebuild and repair.

2. We make these highly concentrated, therapeutic formulations available to you in tablets, capsules, liquids or power form to “supplement” your current diet. That’s why they are called “food supplements”.

3. Depending on your individual situation, we may also require that you make some specific changes in your diet & lifestyle habits so you can experience the best possible results.

Please note, none of our practitioners are registered dietitians...we simply know from our long-term experience in a wide number of cases that modifications of the diet are essential to health restoration.

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 clients...and on clients from many different types of health care practitioners...you can be assured that Nutritional Kinesiology is capable of evaluating and solving your health concerns. A complete Nutritional Kinesiology evaluation is done on each client on every visit, thereby revealing the next layers of dysfunction so they can also be addressed and corrected. In this way, each client gets a completely individualized program in the correct healing sequence for his/her body. It’s very much like opening a combination lock, you must use the right numbers in the right sequence and in the right direction at the right time...then the lock falls open. By following the correct program sequence, as revealed through Nutritional Kinesiology, you don’t “shot-gun” your diet or supplements. With a correctly done Nutritional Kinesiology evaluation, we can determine the correct supplements, diet and lifestyle changes to give your body the best possible chance of getting well and staying 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 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 this process using our simple, non-invasive, proven Nutritional Kinesiology technique!

It is possible to RESTORE YOUR HEALTH NATURALLY!

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 moment of every day throughout your life. The health of each organ is dependent on making the correct nutrients available to upgrade or maintain the health of the body at a cellular level.

• Nutritional Therapy provides the right basic materials.

• Nutritional Kinesiology tells you when and what to use to restore optimal health.

With this understanding of what we do, can you see how we might be able to help you restore your health? Once you have achieved that, do you see how you might be able to use this approach to stay well? Now you have the complete 1-2-3 step package...you now know:

1. What we do

2. How and why we do it

3. What you need to do to have the potential of restoring your health and staying healthy.

However, in the end, YOU are the one responsible for your own condition. With our guidance, we know that...if you are a Nutritional Kinesiology case...your chances of greatly improving your health can be as high as 90% or better.

In our experience, if our evaluation indicates that you are not a Nutritional Kinesiology / clinical 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. However, if our evaluation confirms that you are a Nutritional Kinesiology / clinical nutrition case, then in our experience, nothing else will ever come close to what you can achieve using Nutritional Kinesiology and Nutritional Therapy.
