Nutrition Response Testing®
Nutrition Response Testing (NTR) is a safe, natural, and non-invasive system of analyzing the body to determine the underlying causes of ill health. When these causes are found and corrected through natural, nutritional means, the body can repair itself and maintain more optimum health.
Freddie Ulan, DC, developed Nutrition Response Testing in the 1990s. Thousands of healthcare practitioners across the US use Nutrition Response Testing. The system is scientific and defined. However, if we accessed you using Nutrition Response Testing before explaining the process, you might find it strange or simply not believable. NTR is very different from anything you have used or experienced.
If you want to restore your health and longevity, you must understand what Nutrition Response Testing is and what our recommendations are based on. Otherwise, you are less likely to comply with your program, and you won’t experience the excellent benefits that are routinely attainable.
Does Nutrition Response Testing Really Work?
Yes! This technology is being successfully used by thousands of healthcare practitioners across the country, helping hundreds of thousands of patients overcome various health problems and achieve more optimum health. NTR has been featured in numerous publications, including The American Chiropractor, Chiropractic Economics, and DC Products Review.
What is the Nutrition Response Testing Process?
In Nutrition Response Testing we do not diagnose or treat disease. There are two parts to our process:
- Analyze (Assessment of your body’s current health status)
- Personalized a health improvement program (using designed clinical nutrition)
Nutrition Response Testing analyzes different areas on the body’s surface that relate to the state of health and the flow of energy in every organ and function of the body.
This information is derived from the part of the nervous system, whose job is to regulate the functions of the organs.
Interestingly, since human anatomy has not changed significantly in thousands of years, these organs/areas have become extremely useful in Nutrition Response Testing because they are so accurate!
Each area that responds represents a specific organ, tissue, or function and indicates what effect energy, or the lack of energy, has on the body. By testing these organs/areas, we have a system of monitoring your body at each visit that has proven highly accurate clinically and helps us to identify what exactly the body needs and how well we are meeting that need.
How is the Nutrition Response Testing Analysis Performed?
Instead of connecting electrodes to the tested areas, as in an EKG, the Nutrition Response Testing practitioner contacts these areas with their hand. With the other hand, they will test the muscle of your extended arm. If the organ/area being contacted is “active,” the nervous system will respond by reducing energy to the extended arm, and the arm will weaken and drop. This drop signifies underlying stress or dysfunction, which can be affecting your health.
The Personalized Health Improvement Program.
Let’s say the liver or kidney areas are active. Then what? Our next step is to test specific nutritional formulas of the highest quality that have stood the test of time and are proven to bring the organ/areas back to strength.
Decades of clinical experience tell us that when we have found the correct nutritional supplements, as indicated by this procedure, we can devise a clinically designed program for your body. Your clinically designed program is a highly personalized nutritional supplement schedule. It includes the essential first step in correcting the underlying deficiency or imbalance that caused the organ/area to be active in the first place.
By following the program as precisely as possible, you are well on your way to restoring normal function and improving your health. It’s that simple!
In modern medicine, the medical doctor makes a diagnosis and then uses drugs or surgery to surgically attack or suppress the symptom or remove the “offending” organ or malfunctioning part.
In Nutrition Response Testing, we use designed clinical nutrition to correct the cause of the problem so that the body can regain the ability to repair itself.
What is Designed Clinical Nutrition?
“Designed Clinical Nutrition” is precisely that:
- Designed (Individually prepared based on a specific plan)
- Clinical (Results obtained in clinical use or actual practice on huge numbers of patients over many years)
- Nutrition (Real food, designed by nature to enable the body to repair itself and grow healthfully)
It is usually concentrated whole food in a tablet, capsule, or powder prepared using a unique manufacturing process that preserves all the active enzymes and vital components that make it work as nature intended.
These real food supplements have been designed to match the body’s needs, as determined by the positive response shown when tested against the active Nutrition Response Testing organs/areas the practitioner found during your individual Nutrition Response Testing analysis.
These are nutrients you are missing and need to get or assimilate into your current diet.
Some of these deficiencies may be due to your past personal eating habits and routines. But more so due to the lack of quality in the foods commercially available in grocery stores or restaurants today.
An example of a whole food could be carrots. Carrots are high in Vitamin A Complex. A “complex” is something made up of many different parts that work together. Synthetic Vitamin A does not contain the whole “Vitamin A Complex” found in nature. If we were looking for a food high in Vitamin A, carrots might be one of our choices.
If one were factually deficient in any of the components of Vitamin A Complex, one would be wise to seek out a supplement that was made from whole foods that were rich in this complex – not from chemicals re-engineered in a laboratory to look like one tiny part of the Vitamin A Complex that has erroneously been labeled as “Vitamin A.”
Over-the-counter vitamins are pharmaceutically engineered chemical fractions of vitamin structures reproduced in a laboratory. Over-the-counter vitamins cannot be used instead of whole food supplements in a designed clinical nutrition program.
The label “natural” is misleading when applied to nutritional products, as the FDA will approve such labeling based on a small percentage of naturally sourced components. Such products don’t correct existing imbalances and may introduce new ones.
Your vitality and energy are derived from live food. Most foods available today are dead or not really foods: boxed cereals, canned vegetables, soda pop, etc. It’s simple to understand the difference between dead, devitalized pseudo-foods, synthetic or isolated vitamins, and “Designed Clinical Nutrition” and a diet of real foods.
There is a Great Deal of Technology and Know-How Behind What We Do
- By analyzing your body’s organs/areas, we help you determine the exact nutrients you need to supplement your diet to bring about balance and better.
- We make these highly concentrated therapeutic formulations available in tablets, capsules, or powdered form to “supplement” your current diet. That’s why they are called “food.”
- Depending on your individual situation, we might also require you to make specific changes in your diet, eating habits, and routines to achieve the best possible results.
Having been designed through decades of clinical use on tens of thousands of patients, and on patients from many different types of healthcare practitioners, you can be assured that by using Nutrition Response Testing, we are able to evaluate your body’s nutritional needs and devise a program to help your body heal itself.
Follow Up Visits
The practitioner will perform an analysis of your active organs/areas will be performed on each follow-up visit. Often these follow-up visits also reveal additional layers of dysfunction, and you can then address these in the correct sequence for your body.
Like opening a combination lock, you must use the correct numbers in the proper sequence and direction at the right time to open the lock. Each patient must also follow the correct sequence, as revealed through Nutrition Response Testing.
Every case is unique, and a completely individualized program is designed to individual specifications.
Nutrition Response Testing can even handle the most complicated cases!
