So . . . With all these methods how do you know what is the best fuel
for your body?
-
Do you do better with vegetarianism, or Atkins, or a fine
balance of the two?
-
Are you in a state of mineral stress or deficiency,
and which nutrients are needed to bring balance?
-
Should calcium be taken
or another mineral like potassium or magnesium or sodium?
-
Will vitamin-C
improve or worsen your health?
-
Is the pH of cells, tissue, and blood
tending towards the break down and inflammatory state of acidity or the
build up of alkalinity?
-
Is your body's chemistry affecting the endocrine
glands and hormones to be over or under active?
Biochemical Metabolic
testing in combination with diagnostic iridology can be a fine method of
helping to answer these questions and create a dietary plan that will
restore the natural balance of health.
Having worked with metabolic chemistry for many years, the staff at
CCNM have
seen diet alone change the health and lives of those using it. Metabolic
testing in some patients reveals a tissue breakdown pattern which
suggests discontinuing the practice of vegetarianism for a meat based
diet. The dietary suggestion consisting of increased eggs, butter, and
dark meats improves energy, stabilizes blood pressure, and improves
mental acuity.
Alternately, others who have adopted a hi-protein, hi-fat diet for
weight loss and have suffered from worsening health resulting in
increased fatigue, sore joints, weight gain, as well as elevated
laboratory tests suggesting increasing cardiac strain. When giving these
patients a vegan diet, especially bountiful in low carbohydrate green
vegetables, the symptoms begin to clear. Weight drops, energy improves,
skin becomes more youthful and lab results come into line.
Besides diet, altering the pH and electrolytes with minerals and other
nutrients can help balance blood pressure, decrease inflammation of
aches and pains, improve sleep and energy, and promote balance
throughout the entire body.
It is no wonder that every diet ever developed has been successful . . .
for some people. Without testing chemistry it is challenging to
truly know what the best fuel is from morning to night, from cycle to
cycle, from year to year.
Metabolic chemistry testing will guide the patient with the necessary
nutritional factors to bring their body into balance. Balanced body means
healthy body and that can be good news for the prevention of illness. At
CCNM we use a combination of ALL the
fore mentioned types giving us an edge in determining the type that fits
the patient most accurately.
Metabolic typing was further investigated and developed by George Watson
and his observations of fast and slow oxidizers and their relation to
common psychiatric illnesses. These oxidation states were later examined
and studied further by Rudolf Wiley. They similarly concluded if they
provided a diet that was primarily vegetarian to slow oxidizers they
would become well while the same diet for fast oxidizers would create
poor outcomes.
During your initial consultation, urine and saliva
samples will be taken, and a metabolic physical examination and
evaluation will be performed.
Biochemical testing will consist of urine and saliva laboratory tests
measuring pH, electrolytes, sugars, nitrogenous waste products, surface
tension, and markers for determining infections, occult blood, etc.
Metabolic physical exam will record several values of blood pressures,
pulses, respirations, pulse oximetry, and multiple physical exam
findings that will indicate a clearer picture of chemistry and specific
metabolic type.
A total of 49 different variables are measured and cross-analyzed with
mathematical equations and computer programs. Follow-up to discuss lab
results is done within one week of the initial evaluation.
