Functional Evaluation

The Functional tests sources are as follows:

• Frank Chapman, DO, discovered a series of neuron-lymphatic reflex points he used for diagnosis and treatment of disease.
• George Goodheart, DC, discovered the connection between the Chapman reflex points and Lingual-Neural testing (see Lingual- Neural testing for more information).

• Robert Ridler, DC, developed a series of functional reflex points (HCL, Enzyme, and Histamine). The Nutritional Therapist tests the HCL point to find if the client has sufficient amounts of hydrochloric acid which the body uses to break down the food in the stomach. The enzyme point is used to find out if the body has enough enzymes to help break down the food in digestion as well. And the histamine point is used to test the allergic tension in the body.
• William Bennet, DC, developed Neuro-vascular reflex points (small intestine and pituitary point). The Nutritional Therapist tests the small intestine to find if it is functioning optimally. The small intestine is very important because 80% of the nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine. Also, the Nutritional Therapist tests the pituitary point to find if this organ is working optimally. The Pituitary gland is an endocrine gland and considered the "master gland." The reason for this is because the pituitary secretes hormones that stimulate the function of the other endocrine glands. If the pituitary is out of balance, the Nutritional Therapist will work to bring it to optimal functioning.
• Major DeJarnette, DO, DC, developed the liver sign, gallbladder thumb web, thenar pad signs, and pancreas spine. The Nutritional Therapist tests the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas to find if these organs are functioning optimally. If not, the Nutritional Therapist works with the body to find what the body wants to heal and become optimal.

Lingual Neural Testing

Whole food supplements are ingested by the client for the organ points that show the most tenderness in the Functional Evaluation. The hypothalamus in the brain discerns what the body is ingesting and communicates through the central nervous system to the rest of the body to prepare to metabolize this substance. If the supplement is going to support that specific organ in the healing process, the pain indication on that organ will decrease in the functional evaluation of that organ. Thus, the body provides the necessary feedback in order to pinpoint exactly what nutrients that it is lacking in the healing process.

Home Health Parties

A home health party is a party that a person hosts in order to educate themselves and their guests in their pursuit of health. I prepare a healthy whole foods meal in front of guests as I teach and describe exactly how to prepare food that supports longevity and optimal health. During the home health party, I teach on a specific health topic as well as teaching the basics of how to prepare life-giving food.

Diet Analysis

Various mediums of testing are used in order to gather information and create a diet implementation plan for clients. A Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ) is taken by the client in order to assess specific symptoms. From the NAQ, the Nutritional Therapist can link symptoms to specific organs or organs systems that are in the process of healing. A food journal prepared by the client shows the Nutritional Therapist what changes can be made in order to create and sustain optimal health through the diet. Also, the client can take a specific Body Type Diet test in order to find out what diet would work best based upon how their body is wired and designed. An overall diet plan is created and implemented in stages based upon the needs and desires of the individual client.
