Nutrition Response Testing
Overview
Your body has been pre-programmed to sustain life. Each cell, body part, organ and energy system is genetically encoded to work for continued survival of the organism. Your brain acts as a giant "switchboard" to channel energy into action to maintain body function. Every symptom in your body constitutes a signal--a warning that something is not quite right.The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the part of the nervous system that we cannot control with our mind. The ANS regulates breathing, heart rate, digestion, immune function, sleep patterns, hormone regulation, blood pressure, blood sugar levels, tissue regeneration, and liver and kidney detoxification.
Originally developed by physicians and neurologists, NRT grew out of the importance of detecting and correcting problems of the autonomic nervous system, as well as all other organs of the body. NRT allows the practitioner to restore the self-regulating mechanisms of the body, allowing the patient to return to a state of health.
Nutrition Response Testing is a medical muscle testing system grounded in solid science. It is today probably the fastest and least invasive way to accurately detect food allergies, geopathic and biophysical stress, interference fields, stressed organs and structures, emotional blocks, heavy metal toxicity, dental problems, environmental toxicity and more."
- Dr. Joseph Mercola D.C.
Symptoms leading to these imbalances are theoretically caused by seven common factors. These include undiagnosed food allergies, heavy metal toxicity, petroleum chemical toxicity, chronic unresolved infections and scars, temporamandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ), unresolved psychological stress, and electromagnetic stress. Dr. Klinghard, M.D., has developed specific tests for these factors and treatments to correct them.
NRT is often effective where other treatments fail and is effective for most chronic and acute illnesses. These include but are not limited to allergies, chronic pain, chronic infections, immune problems, depression, anxiety, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, pre-menstrual syndrome, menopause problems, cancer, diabetes, seizure disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, sinusitis, digestive problems and many others.
NRT is taught through a series of classes from the American Academy of Neural Therapy or the American Academy of Neural Kinesiology. Most of the doctors using NRT are naturopathic physicians, medical doctors, doctors of orthopedics, chiropractors, acupuncturists or dentists.

Testimonials
My Orthopedic Surgeon diagnosed me with cervical degenerative disc disease of the cervical spine and bilateral chondromalacia patellae, which is a wearing away of the cartilage in both knees. After a spinal fusion and five arthroscopy surgeries on both knees, I was still suffering from pain. I had increasing pain in my neck above the fusion, and with that less mobility over the years, my hips and my knees had increasing stiffness, which I thought was from my deteriorating cartilage.
After only two adjustments, the stiffness in my knees and hips was completely gone. At this time, I am two weeks into my adjustments and the pain in my neck and shoulder is almost gone. I can't express in words how happy and grateful I am for the way I feel now. I was convinced that over the coming years, I would be facing more spinal fusions, less and less mobility, and constant pain. Now I am looking to the future with a new, happier, and healthier vision. I thank God everyday for putting me into the skillful care of Dr. Coberly.
