Understanding Designed Clinical Nutrition
​
To begin with, Designed Clinical Nutrition is not the same as typical over-the-counter vitamins. Over-the-counter vitamins are essentially pharmaceutically engineered chemical fractions, synthesized in laboratories. These are not "whole food," and the body barely recognizes them as beneficial. For a detailed explanation, feel free to check out our audiotape: "The Whole Truth About Vitamins," which dives deep into this subject.
​
Since over-the-counter vitamins aren't made from whole foods, they miss out on the essential synergistic elements naturally found in whole foods.
For instance: Broccoli is rich in Vitamin C Complex. A "complex" refers to multiple parts that work together. Synthetic vitamin C lacks the complete "Vitamin C Complex" that exists in nature. Therefore, if we're looking for a food rich in Vitamin C, broccoli is a good option.
​
If someone is deficient in any components of the Vitamin C Complex, it’s wise to choose a supplement made from whole foods containing this complex, rather than relying on lab-engineered chemicals that mimic just one part of it.
Today's vitamins often need only a small percentage of their content to be derived from natural sources to be labeled as "natural." When they aren't from whole foods, these vitamins can actually increase deficiencies and create nutritional imbalances, potentially causing other health problems due to the lack of natural co-factors that help vitamins work.
​
So-called "scientific research" using these inadequate substitutes frequently "proves" that vitamins aren't very effective. It's worth questioning who finances these studies.
​
Designed Clinical Nutrition is exactly what it sounds like: nutrition that is carefully designed (based on a specific plan) for clinical use (evaluated through real-world practice on large numbers of patients over many years) using real food (created by nature to help the body heal and grow healthily).
It’s whole food in the form of tablets, capsules, or powders, concentrated in a vacuum, cold-process system to preserve all active enzymes and vital components as intended by nature. These real food supplements are tailored to meet the body’s needs, based on the positive response seen when tested against active Nutrition Response Testing reflexes in your individual analysis. These are nutrients you’re not getting, or not absorbing, in your current diet.
These deficiencies could stem from past eating habits and routines but are often due to the poor quality of commercially available foods today.
​
Summary
By analyzing your body’s reflexes, we identify the exact nutrients you need to supplement your diet, bringing balance and better health. We offer these highly concentrated therapeutic formulations in tablets, capsules, or powdered form to supplement your diet, hence the term "food supplements." Depending on your situation, we might also suggest changes in your diet, eating habits, and routines to achieve the best results.
​
How Are These Products Produced?
An example of a designed clinical nutrition supplement we use is "Catalyn." This product is made from a variety of carefully selected, organically grown vegetables. Water and fiber are removed using a vacuum, low heat process without cooking the vegetables, and then the concentrated food is used to make Standard Process Catalyn Tablets.
​
The key to this process is the "Standard Process" method:
​
A. Nutrients are derived from plants grown on Standard Process farms in soil free of pesticides, with no chemicals ever used. Ph.D.'s test the soil before planting to ensure its fertility, and even the weeding is done by hand. B. The machinery used to process these products is made of glass and stainless steel only. C. The temperature during processing never exceeds 90 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring the active ingredients remain alive and effective with a long shelf life.
​
Your vitality and energy come from live food. Most foods today are either dead or not really food at all, like boxed cereals, canned vegetables, and soda pop. This shows the difference between dead, devitalized pseudo-foods, synthetic or isolated vitamins, and Designed Clinical Nutrition along with a diet of real foods.
​
There is significant technology and expertise behind our work. Designed through decades of clinical use on tens of thousands of patients, and on patients from various healthcare practitioners, Nutrition Response Testing can evaluate and address your health concerns.
​
A complete Nutrition Response Testing analysis is done at each visit, revealing the next layers of dysfunction to address and correct.
Each patient gets individualized treatment, in the correct sequence for their body. Much like unlocking a combination lock, you must use the right numbers in the correct sequence and direction at the right time to open the lock.
​
By following the correct sequence revealed through Nutrition Response Testing, you avoid a "shotgun" approach to your diet or supplements. With a correctly conducted Nutrition Response Testing analysis, we can determine the right food supplements for you, giving your body the best chance to get well and stay that way.
​
Conclusion
​
Many people have contributed to their current state of ill-health by their eating habits to some extent. These deficiencies or imbalances lead to weakened immunity and an inability to handle environmental stresses.
The good news is that reversing the process is possible!
What could be more natural or appropriate? Each cell, tissue, and organ in your body is continually replacing itself. The health of each organ relies on providing the right nutrients to upgrade or maintain the body's health at a cellular level.
