Treat the Patient, Not the Diagnosis

No matter the professional degree: Nutritionist, Doctor, Naturopath, Chiropractor… most of us are taught the system of if [symptom name] then take [supplement, herb, drug…]

Imagine this scenario: you have a stuffy nose, incredibly tired, your muscles ache, chilled…

Do you take:

A. antibiotics? B. flu shot? C. herbal remedies? D. vitamin C?

Did you just assume you have a cold (bacteria)? or “the flu” (virus)? or… its a rare client who understands that chemical or metal toxicity, or allergies / food sensitivies can have the very same symptoms. Soooo… let’s say you did “catch a cold”; which herb or vitamin is best?

Choosing between vitamin #1, vitamin #2, or vitamin #3?

If you don’t already know the correct answer, the probability of guessing correctly goes down with each choice. For example 4 offered possibilities give you a 25% chance of guessing right. And that’s after years of professional training!

Which pales in comparison to the Vitamin Isle in every store.  Wow!  Each vitamin bottle in rows of rows, shelf after shelf of vitamins shouts out at you that it is different, best, good for this, better for that (without making health claims of course). Try to recollect what we’ve heard or read… so many choices. What are the odds of guessing correctly?

What happens when vitamin claims are a confusing Red Herring (false trail)?

I’m not talking about false claims. Vitamins and supplements get a bad name because what one person needs may be extremely different from the next. It isn’t that they don’t work, the good ones most definitely do; what is good for one person may not be for another.

It is natural for any expert to grab the product that has worked most often for their clients, but a true expert should be able to change the odds of getting it right in your favor.

Covered by insurance or not, what about guessing and then taking the wrong thing?

vitamin, alaska nutrition, anchorage nutritionist, clinical nutrition, supplements, naturalYour doctor says, “Well, we think you have this (diagnosis name), let’s try… (drug/surgery) and see how it works”?  The drug or surgery recommendation is a dangerous guess—and expensive… fewer body parts does not bring about health; neither do side effects.

Why take the body apart and focus just on what is happening to that part? Why not look at the body as a whole and invoke it’s natural ability to heal?

Why guess at all?

Take out the guessing! Increase the odds!!

Ask your body to see what it truly needs.  No guessing, no percentages, no dangerous side effects, just safe, natural methods that work.  That’s the beauty of Nutrition Response Testing® And that’s why people just like you are getting their health back every day.
