So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

A NYC Chiropractor Explains Nutrition Response Testing

By Dr. Louis Granirer


Before finding out how a NYC chiropractor explains Nutrition Response Testing, you first need to understand the fundamentals of chiropractics. This is an alternative health care practice that concentrates on holistic healing methods with emphasis on the nervous and musculoskeletal systems.

Typical conditions include sporting injuries, herniated discs, lower back pain, pinched nerves, headaches, and neck pain. Included in the holistic approach, a chiropractor will also take into account the patient's lifestyle and nutritional imbalances. Many people neglect their nutritional needs due to the stress and strains of everyday life.

The human body needs proper nutrition to enable it to function optimally. You might think that you are eating properly when, in fact, you are not. You may eat healthy foods but perhaps the balance is incorrect. This can bring on tell-tale symptoms of an imbalance in nutrition.

These symptoms include chronic fatigue, depression, sudden weight gain, migraines and other headaches, high blood pressure, stress, heart conditions, and many more. Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) is a non-invasive method of calculating specific dietary imbalances. Once these have been established, a chiropractor can design a correct diet and appropriate nutritional supplements.

NRT is a relatively new method which provides an insight into the body's own 'computer' to detect any deficiencies. This is done through acupuncture points, muscle testing, and neurological reflex testing. It is basically an offshoot of Applied Kinesiology, which is a diagnostic system used by medical physicians, chiropractors, naturopaths, acupuncturists, homeopaths and other alternative health care practitioners.

NRT is based on the fact that the body functions through an intricate network of electric and chemical transmitters. The spinal column and the nervous system enable these to travel to and from the brain. The nervous system and the brain control every organ in the body. In addition, every single muscle is connected to the nervous system.

If a breakdown in this messaging system occurs, muscles will become weak. While NRT uses a lot of Applied Kinesiology's testing principles, its diagnostic methods are different. NRT carries an underlying principle that a nutritional imbalance can cause many unpleasant symptoms. When the problem has been pin-pointed and the body's computer is back on track, the symptoms can clear up naturally.

For example, say the liver or kidneys display active reflexes. The chiropractor, who has an extensive knowledge of nutrition, can devise a supplement schedule that is specific to those organs. If the patient follows the plan exactly as formulated, the problematic reflexes will revert to normal strength. The liver or kidneys can then begin to function properly, and the patient will become healthy.

When NRT is applied, many medical conditions can benefit. Some include fungal problems, weak immune systems, food allergies, parasite infestations, fatigue (severe, extreme and chronic), skin rashes, abdominal pain, and a range of digestive problems. NRT can be summarized as a study of various points on the body's surface to detect imbalances and then to devise a plan to restore the correct flow of energy into the affected areas. This is how a NYC chiropractor explains Nutrition Response Testing.
