Nutrition Response Testing protocol is advanced analyses and personalized health improvement programs, using designed clinical nutrition and supplementation, to identify underlying imbalances in the body. The goal is to detoxify and to improve the function of your body by supporting the body's natural healing ability. Nutrition Testing provides a glimpse into the body's "internal computer" as well as an awareness of the body's deficiencies. The analysis is done through muscle testing, neurological reflex testing, and acupuncture points. Nutrition Response Testing is an offshoot and hybrid of Applied Kinesiology which is a diagnostic tool and health care system used by medical doctors, homeopaths, naturopaths, chiropractors, acupuncturists and many other alternative-care practitioners. The underlying principle is that the body is run by chemical and electrical signals that are sent from (and back to) the brain via the spinal cord and the fluid nervous system. There are normal and abnormal reflexes that are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. A muscle may react weak, hypertonic or neutral depending on what is being tested in close proximity to certain acupuncture points on the body. If these specific reflexes are reacting abnormally, it gives the practitioner information on what is causing problems for a person or what may help a person to get better. The fundamental principle of Nutrition Response Testing protocol is to figure out if there is toxicity and food sensitivities that are contributing to a person's symptoms.
