Western Approach
Practitioners of western medicine understand part of the electrical nature of bodies, and use that understanding for certain analytical tests. For instance, an electrocardiogram measures electrical impulses which emanate from the heart. Similarly, myograms and encephalograms measure electrical muscle and brain activities. Much information is gained from these studies. However, in spite of its vast technology, western medicine has barely scratched the surface of available information regarding the energy of the body. Those of us trained in western science and medicine have drugs and surgery emphasized, leaving the study of nutrition and the body's energy up to chance. Fortunately, a friend introduced me to the work of Dr. Richard A. Versendaal, the man who discovered and teaches Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA). (Besides being a chiropractor, Dr. Versendaal also has a Ph.D. in nutrition and he obviously knows the locations and importance of the acupuncture points used in eastern medicine.) Contact Reflex Analysis Dr. Versendaal has discovered that each organ system of the body is associated with a specific acupuncture location. The essence of CRA is as follows: The person who is doing the testing touches, or points to what Dr. Versendaal calls "reflex" points which represent areas of the body, organ systems or, in some cases, disease processes. Each time a reflex point is checked, the person testing exerts downward pressure on the extended arm of the person being tested (or that of a surrogate if one is deemed necessary). The arm will remain strong until an "electrical" reflex point is found. When that happens, the arm will drop, indicating that the area represented is weak in energy because of disease or injury. Why does the arm drop? I can't say for sure. All I know is that it does and that when the arm drops, it is the body telling exactly what problem it has. The dropping arm means that the body lacks a certain form of energy and cannot improve its health condition until that exact form of energy is provided! The next step is to determine which nutritional supplements will supply the form of energy which matches what the body needs in order to return to a healthy balance. This is done by applying skills derived from experience, study and, sometimes, a little trial and error. Standard Process We utilize Standard Process products exclusively because I believe they are the best quality nutritional supplements on the market! Standard Process has been producing potent yet safe and effective nutritional supplements since the 1930's when Dr. Royal Lee first developed and marketed Catalyn. Dr. Lee was a genius--far ahead of his time--and his accomplishments are still incredible! Saying that Standard Process products are "the best" is not meant to insult those of any of the hundreds of companies that have sprung into existence since the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) loosened its restrictions on nutritional supplements. I have used products by other companies, and actually promoted and sold some of them. However, Standard Process "grew up" with the FDA and kept cranking out products that satisfied all the stringent FDA regulations in spite of some frustrating and unwarranted demands. The formulas developed by Dr. Lee are beyond compare. Quality control at Standard Process is far more demanding than FDA requirements--unmatched in the industry. (I have prepared a booklet on Standard Process products entitled "What You Need to Know About Nutrition.") There may be side effects from Standard Process products. Side effects may mimic the cleansing action which occurs during a flu attack (nausea, headache, nasal discharge, etc.). Such side effects are usually mild and transient and can usually be predicted. Side effects, if any, are much preferable to progressively debilitating disease and are indications that the nutrients are needed and that they are working!
