Is Nutrition Clinic a health food store?
No. Nutrition Clinic uses professional lines of supplements and herbs, which are available only through health professionals. Due to the changing biochemistry of one’s body, at least one consultation is required annually in order to purchase and refill supplements. There are only four exceptions to this: a multiple vitamin and mineral supplement called Catalyn; a vitamin E complex topical called USF Ointment; an immune support called Congaplex; and protein/energy bars called Standard Bars. These may be purchased without a consultation.
How does Nutrition Clinic help patients?
Nutrition Clinic helps patients by creating an individualized program of dietary guidance and supplemental nutrients. The program is monitored and adjusted as the patient progresses in attaining his or her health goals.
Why does Nutrition Clinic use supplements?
Nutrition Clinic uses whole food supplements to significantly subsidize the nutrients available to the patient’s glands, organs, tissues, and systems for fast repair and optimal function.
What do you mean by the term “whole food nutrition?”
Whole Food Nutrition means that nutrients are derived from quality food rather than manufactured in a chemistry laboratory. The food is considered “whole” if the original nutrient packages (vitamin complexes, minerals, and enzymes) remain intact. So much of the original nutrient diversity of food available to the American public has been destroyed or significantly compromised in its growing, processing, and storing. Whole food provides the nutrients that the body is designed to know how to use in order to maintain optimal health.
