First, the Analysis.

Our mission is to heal the body the way it was designed to be healed; without painful invasive procedures, without medications that alter the body’s already delicate chemistry and cause more side effects than relief.

Using the Nutrition Response Testing SM technique, Holistic Healing practitioners work together with you to find a personalized healing program that improves your overall health. We focus on the whole body finding the root of the problem as opposed to simply masking your symptoms.

What is Nutrition Response TestingSM?

In order for you to begin the healing process we need to make sure you understand what Nutrition Response TestingSM is right from the start. Nutrition Response Testing SM is probably very different from anything you may have experienced before. Although it is very precise and scientific, if we were to analyze you using Nutrition Response TestingSM without an explanation you may find it strange or mysterious. We felt similarly when we first encountered it and, therefore, have studied it extensively to see if it really worked. We are happy we did because it has helped us greatly improve our own health and with Nutrition Response Testing SM, we may be able to help you improve yours.

It is important for you to understand Nutrition Response Testing SMbecause it is the foundation upon which we base our recommendations, and if you don’t understand it you may be less likely to follow through with our advice. To put it simply, if you don’t follow through with our advice, you won’t get well and if you are not going to get well, why begin in the first place? The good news is that by using Nutrition Response Testing SM, most clients experience 90% or better improvement in their overall health.

Analysis

The analysis is done by testing neurological reflexes and specific acupuncture points on the body’s surface.
This analysis gives us an energy assessment of how well the organs and systems of the body are functioning.
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.

Since the human anatomy has not changed significantly in thousands of years, these reflexes and acupuncture points have become extremely useful in our practice because they are so reliable!
Each Nutrition Response Testing SM reflex corresponds to a specific organ, system, or function. It helps us determine the effect that energy, or the lack of energy, is having on your overall health. Nutrition Response Testing SM also provides a system of monitoring your body at each visit. This has proven to be extremely accurate clinically, and helps us identify exactly what the body needs and how well we are meeting that need.

Summary

1. Through an analysis of your body’s reflexes, we help you to determine the exact nutrients you need to supplement your diet in order to bring about balanced and improved health.
2. We make these highly concentrated therapeutic formulations available to you in tablets, capsules, or in powdered 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 & eating habits and in your routines in order to bring about the best possible results.

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine finds and addresses the cause of disease, using the latest cutting-edge evidence-based and science-based methods. We provide the services of Functional Medicine in Lancaster, PA.

Here is an example of how Functional Medicine works:

Problem: Patient is suffering from fatigue. Thyroid lab tests show low thyroid.

Functional Medicine solution:

Look for reasons why the thyroid is stressed. Perform detailed testing as necessary to determine the cause and explore what diet and lifestyle habits might be contributing to or exacerbating the problem. Provide a comprehensive recommendation that takes the whole person into account. The solution is collaborative. The patient takes an active role in his or her care. All recommendations are safe and natural. The doctor does not consider care a success until the patient actually feels better.

Contrasted with:

Conventional solution:

Provide medicine to bring thyroid numbers back into normal range. The patient might not feel better, but the lab numbers are now normal, so the doctor considers her to be cured. Most of the time the only solution is medication and there is nothing else the patient can do to get better.
