Conditions

"It is more important to know the person who has the condition
than it is to know which condition the person has.
"

Each body is bio-chemically unique. To be healthy we all require the same nutrients, but not necessarily in the same amounts or proportions. To recover health that has broken down may require unusually high amounts of specific nutrients – which ones in which amounts depends on each person’s unique weaknesses.

This work summarizes the kinds of nutritional support that can help the body to overcome various degenerative conditions. Some of these may be caused by nutritional imbalances, others not. Regardless of which condition a person has, sound nutrition will always be of benefit – either to correct the cause or to help the body respond to whichever therapies may be most appropriate.

The recommendations herein are general. To make them more specific, one needs to know more about the individual who has the condition. Two effective ways to do this are: (1) Complete a self-scoring Nutri-Body™ Analysis, as explained in my manual, Listen to Your Body, or (2) Consult a nutritional practitioner who specializes in nutritional assessment. Many Registered Nutritional Consultant/Practitioners use an advanced form of Nutri-Body™ Analysis as a key part of their practices.

This work lists the dietary modifications and food supplements that are most likely to be of benefit to each condition in question. Not everyone with that particular condition may need to follow all of the suggestions, depending on his/her unique biochemistry. Where a number of options are listed, all of them should at least be considered when tailoring a nutritional program to the individual.

How much of various supplements need to be taken each day and for how long are also individual matters. To overcome a particular condition usually requires much higher amounts of specific nutrients than it does to maintain health once the condition has been overcome. The longer a condition has persisted, the more support it will need. As improvement becomes established, then the supplements may be tapered down to a maintenance level. Having a Nutri-Body™ Analysis done every six weeks or so provides excellent feedback as to one’s progress in this regard.

For a nutritional program to be effective, all of the nutrients needed to restore and maintain health need to be taken and in quantities high enough to do the job. Nutrients function as a team, in co-operative and synergistic ways. Every "link" in the nutritional "chain" has to be supported in order to get results.
