What is Nutrition/Diet Therapy?
There is a revolution in health care which is based on the scientific
understanding that the types of foods we eat may be intimately linked to our
state of health. Nutrition/Diet Therapy is a practice of evaluating an
individual's
nutritional deficiencies and then replacing those essential nutrients through
diet modification and nutritional supplementation with vitamins and minerals and
other substances. Our main focus with diet modification is based on the work of
Peter J. D'Adamo, who spells out the effect foods have on our bodies based on
our blood type. Dr. Johnson is a Practitioners who is
IfHI Certified. This
means Dr. Johnson has attended an IfHI certification conference, completed a
course of study and have passed a certification exam. These individuals who are
IfHi certified have been personally trained by Dr. D'Adamo and are fully
accredited practitioners and educators.
Could a nutritional deficiency be
causing my health problem?
There are many scientists and health professionals who believe that diet and
carefully chosen supplementation will successfully help many health problems
that are usually treated with drugs or surgery. A deficiency in just one
essential nutrient can cause significant health problems. For instance: a
potassium deficiency will cause a person's heart to race uncontrollably, a
condition known as tachycardia. Click here and take a

Should you take supplements?
There is overwhelming
scientific evidence that our modern day food supply does not contain the vital
nutrients to sustain a healthy body. Polluted air, chemicals and pesticides,
modern processing methods and refinement of food have led to the depletion of
essential nutrients in or food supply.
How does Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson employ
nutritional analysis in your treatment protocol?
I use one or more of a variety of tests designed to identify if nutrition is
part of your health concerns. These methods may include a computerized
nutritional assessment, 7 day dietary analysis, Heart Rate Variability Test (HRVT) and
Functional
Neurological Muscle Testing (FNMT).
How does functional neurological
muscle testing help determine your nutritional needs ?
Traditional Applied Kinesiologists test specific muscles after the patient
tastes a food or nutrition supplement. There will be a change in muscle strength
depending on the need for that particular nutrition. Probably the least
effective method of evaluating the need for nutrition is reading a label. Not
all nutritional supplements are the same. The FNMT is an objective way of
determining what your body needs.
