“Before treatment, I found myself so exhausted that I could hardly function. I have two small children and could barely complete the “usual” daily routines, let alone anything extra. All I wanted to do was sleep, and I was well aware of how apathetic I had become. I was tired no matter how much sleep I got. Since I started taking the recommended supplements and following my program guidelines, I feel like I did before having children. I wake up with energy, enjoy my children, and have pursued interests that I was too exhausted to think about. I truly thank Pure Health for helping me to feel so well!” - Susan B.

“I suffered from a high AIC, was overweight, and my feet and legs hurt constantly. I was run down and had no energy. I was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate and had frequent urgency. I started the program and changed my diet, eliminating grains, sugars, and sodas. These changes, along with the supplements my body needed, have turned my life around!” - Bro S.

“BI suffered from migraine headaches on a weekly basis. During my cycle, the headaches became so bad I would be in bed for days. I started on a nutritional program for my ovaries and have not had a headache since. My sinus congestion has improved. I am no longer throwing up when I wake up in the morning. I am so thankful for this program!” - Van S.

Nutrition Response Testing

Our program restores your body’s potential to heal and repair itself through proper nutrition and ​nutritional supplements. Through Nutrition Response Testing®, we test your body’s nervous ​system. Because the nervous system regulates the functioning of every organ in our body, we ​analyze the neurological reflexes on the surface of your body that relate to the state of your health ​and the flow of energy for every organ, gland, joint, and muscle. Each area that gives a response ​during testing indicates the effect that energy, or lack of energy, is having on the body. It is ​through these highly accurate clinical responses that we then identify exactly what your body ​needs to heal.

What is Nutrition Response Testing®

Nutrition Response Testing 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.

Nutrition Response Testing is very precise and scientific. However, if we were to analyze you using ​Nutrition Response Testing before it was explained to you, you might find it strange or simply not ​believable – only because it is probably very different from anything you have used or experienced.

What Makes this Approach Unique?

In Nutrition Response Testing we do not diagnose or treat disease as in medical practices. We analyze and ​assess your body’s current health status and design a personalized health improvement program. Simply put, ​first, we do an analysis, and then we design a nutritional program to help you handle what was found in our ​analysis of your body and condition.

How Does it Work?

The analysis is done by testing the body’s neurological reflexes. The reflexes are the body’s way of telling us ​what and how your nervous system is doing—as it is the nervous system’s responsibility to regulate the body’s ​functions for each and every organ. The testing includes organs, glands, joints, muscles, etc.

Instead of connecting electrodes to the areas being tested, the practitioner does the analysis by contacting ​your extended arm with one hand and contacts the specific reflex area with the other hand. If the tested reflex ​is stressed, your nervous system will respond by reducing energy to the extended arm, which will weaken and ​cause it to drop. This drop signifies underlying stress or dysfunction which can be affecting your health.

Once the underlying stress is corrected, this weak muscle response will no longer occur.

What Happens Next?

Following your consultation, you will be given the results in a way that you can understand, with a specific ​nutritional program to follow. Depending on your individual situation, we might also require that you make ​some specific changes in your diet & eating habits and in your routines in order to bring about the best ​possible results.

With our guidance, we feel that – if you are a Nutrition Response Testing case – your chances of recovery ​have never been higher!

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect during my first appointment?

The initial evaluation will take approximately 1.5 hours. When you first arrive, you will be ​asked to complete a series of forms that help us understand your case. Once the forms are ​complete, we will do a test to determine the physiological age of your organs and ​determine if your nervous system is open for healing and not confused. Once this is ​determined, we will begin testing your body to see if there are any weak areas.

What are the three phases of healing?

Phase One - Fine Tuning Phase: Once you start on your initial nutritional supplement ​program, it generally takes four to six office visits to have it COMPLETELY fine-tuned. ​These visits are normally completed weekly to ensure proper monitoring. During this ​time, we will also be reviewing your diet and offering you guidance regarding any ​essential improvements necessary to maximize your gains.

Phase Two - Healing and Observation Phase: After your initial “Fine Tuning” phase is ​completed, meaning that your nutritional program is stabilized, you will be ready to ​start on your first “12-week Healing and Observation Phase.” This part of your healing ​cycle normally does not require continuing weekly visits. Most people find that ​optimum progress can be obtained by having a regular schedule of check-ups every ​other week for the 12-week period.

Phase Three - Maintenance Phase: Once you have achieved a more optimum health ​level, naturally, you will want to stay well. This is most easily accomplished through ​routine Nutrition Response Testing office visits over the next year and beyond. ​Frequency is determined on an individual basis, anywhere from monthly to quarterly, ​semi-annually, or even annually. Each individual is different.

When can I expect to see results?

Once the initial consultation is complete, a report of findings visit will be scheduled ​withing two days to one week.

Low Level Light Therapy

With Nutrition Response Testing® we routinely find scars on the skin from past injuries, surgeries, ​piercings, and/or tattoos are major stressors on the body’s nervous system, organs, glands, and/or ​musculoskeletal system. We often use low level light therapy (also known as red light, near-​infrared, and photobiomodulation therapy) to handle those scars to improve the flow of energy ​through scar tissue which may be blocked. A five-minute low level light therapy session per scar ​may be indicated.. Several more treatments may also be needed. Whether these scars are close to ​the organ in trouble, or distant (as in a knee scar connected to a frozen shoulder), the related scars ​need to be properly and thoroughly handled whenever they show up for true healing to take place.

What Is Low Level Light Therapy?

Low level light therapy is the application of red or near infrared light over injuries or wounds to ​improve soft tissue healing and relieve both acute and chronic pain. Low-level light therapy uses ​cold (sub-thermal) laser light energy to direct bio-stimulative light energy to the body’s cells ​without injuring or damaging them in any way. The therapy is precise and accurate; and offers safe ​and effective treatment for a wide variety of conditions.

How does it work?

Low level lasers supply energy to the body in the form of non-thermal photons of light. Light is ​transmitted through the skin’s layers (the dermis, epidermis and the subcutaneous tissue or tissue ​fat under the skin) at all wavelengths in the visible range. However, light waves in the near infrared ​ranges penetrate the deepest of all light waves in the visible spectrum. When low level laser light ​waves penetrate deeply into the skin, they optimize the immune responses of our blood. This has ​both anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. It is a scientific fact that light transmitted ​to the blood in this way has positive effects throughout the whole body, supplying vital oxygen and ​energy to every cell.

What are the physiological effects of low level light ​therapy?

• Biostimulation
  
• * Improved metabolism
  
• * Increase of cell metabolism
  
• Improved blood circulation and vasodilatation
  
• Analgesic effect
  
• Anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous (swelling from excessive accumulation of fluids) effects
  
• Stimulation of wound healing
  

What are the benefits of low level light therapy?

• Facilitates energy flow through scar tissue
  
• Relieves acute and chronic pain
  
• Increases the speed, quality, and tensile strength of tissue repair
  
• Increases blood supply
  
• Stimulates the immune system
  
• Stimulates nerve function
  
• Develops collagen and muscle tissue
  
• Helps generate new and healthy cells and tissue
  
• Promotes faster wound healing and clot formation
  
• Reduces inflammation

Optimum Weight Program

The Optimum Weight Program is a complete 23- to 40-day course, depending on the desired ​amount of weight loss, for sustainably losing up to 20 or more pounds. Our program combines a ​medically approved diet plan, hormone resetting with a homeopathic formula, and high-potency ​nutritional support.

Together they create powerful, sustainable weight loss results. This program is ideal for people who ​have struggled to lose weight in the past because of slow metabolism, hormone imbalance, ​menopause, or someone who needs the momentum of seeing weight come off quickly.

The homeopathic drops used with this program work by helping balance the body’s delicate ​endocrine network. This network includes the master glands in the brain (hypothalamus & pituitary) ​and those in the body (adrenals, thyroid, ovaries, & testicles). If these organs are not in harmony, ​then problems with appetite, cravings, and a slowed metabolism may lead to excess weight gain.

This program combines the homeopathic drops with other nutritional supplements that ensure ​protection against muscle loss and nutritional deficiencies, and a medically approved low-calorie ​diet. This combination helps to reset the hypothalamus so that a natural appetite control can be ​restored and maintained.
