Description

If a practitioner uses only the knowledge contained in these pages, his/her ability to help clients/patients will be extraordinary. Practitioners have been confronted with the burden of figuring out how to best employ the vast clinical knowledge that is accumulated. It can seem overwhelming. While working with Dr. George Goodheart, Dr. Schmitt began the ongoing process of identifying the most optimal approach for applying the myriad of clinical techniques and procedures that were constantly being developed by Dr. Goodheart, other applied kinesiology doctors, and natural health care practitioners of many professions.

Dr. Schmitt was able to put together a comprehensive hierarchy of “What To Do First, Next, and Last…” – clinical procedures based on the basis sciences of nutritional biochemistry and clinical neurology.

Consider the following “What To Do first, Next, and Last….” physiological thought processes:

Since the immune system is impacted by cytokines arising from the GI tract (such as interleukins, interferons, and tumor necrosis factors)…Shouldn’t you address GI tract issues such as food allergies or floral imbalance prior to addressing systemic immune function?

Since cortisol inhibits the immune system…Shouldn’t you address low immune system issues prior to treating the adrenal glands to increase cortisol levels?

Since the citric acid cycle (Kreb’s cycle) is inhibited by immune system activity…Shouldn’t you address immune system function prior to adding B vitamins and manganese for the CAC?

Since the adrenal glands mobilize glucose for ATP production…Shouldn’t you address the citric acid cycle (Kreb’s cycle) for efficient glucose metabolism prior to treating the adrenals?

Since all visceral and chemical imbalances are reflected in muscle imbalances…Shouldn’t you address these issues prior to making musculoskeletal and spinal adjustments?

The answer to each of these questions is yes!  Many of the nutritional tools and principles presented in this Compiled Notes on Clinical Nutritional Products book can be considered in relationship to the above principles making clinical outcomes more robust. 3^rd Edition, 2012; 227 pages
