Nutritional Response Testing

Nutritional Response Testing

The differences between the medical and alternative health care approach to wellness is that the two groups see things through a different set of eyes. 

The medical approach contains two parts.  Part one is the diagnosis, the identification and labeling of a disease or syndrome.  Part two is the treatment of the disease through the use of drugs and or surgery. 

The Nutritional Response technique (NRT) is a structured form of Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) Feedback testing developed initially by Drs. Klinghardt, M.D., Ph.D. and Louisa Williams, D.C., N.D. and recently enhanced by Drs. Klinghardt and Yoshiaki Omura, M.D. 

NRT is a verifiable and reproducible discipline of which uses muscle testing to analyze autonomic nervous system (ANS) disturbances.  Problems with ANS function will ultimately cause disease and/or breakdown of any organs and tissues.  It is based on the currently known neurological anatomy and physiology of the ANS

NRT is done through testing the body’s own neurological reflexes and acupuncture points. The acupuncture points are selected from the ancient Chinese system of acupuncture, which is thousands of years old. 

The neurological reflexes are derived from the part of the nervous system whose job it is to regulate the functions of each and every organ.  This aspect of the nervous system is known as the autonomic nervous system.

The autonomic nervous system contains two parts.  The sympathetic nervous system is known in layman’s terms as the “fight or flight” mechanism.  This is the aspect of the nervous system that gives you your “get up and go”.  It functions at higher levels during the course of your day when you are up and moving around.  This system would kick in to over drive if you were being chased by a mountain lion. 

The parasympathetic nervous system is also known as the “rest and digest” aspect of the nervous system.  This aspect of our nervous system allows you to wind down or digest the food you’ve eaten.

The NRT system allows the tester to analyze areas of energetic dysfunction and is able to prioritize the area of greatest importance in terms of bringing the body back into a state of balance for healing to occur.

Since the ANS is the functional nervous system affecting every organ, tissue and cell, the information derived from NRT can be very helpful to understand the root cause of health problems and pain.

NRT can also be used to predict the outcome of health improvement programs.  Through NRT, various remedies that may be beneficial for correcting the cause of conditions can be evaluated for their potential effectiveness.
