“One of the biggest tragedies of human civilization is the precedence of chemical therapy over nutrition. It is a substitution of artificial therapy over natural, of poisons over food, in which we are feeding people poison in trying to correct the reactions of starvation.”
Dr. Royal Lee 1/12/51
What is Designed Clinical Nutrition?
Designed : Especially prepared and based on a specific plan.
Clinical : Based on the results from clinical use. (In this case, actual practice on tens of thousands of patients over many years.)
Nutrition : Real food, designed by nature, that enables the body to nourish and repair itself and grow healthfully.
It is whole foods in a tablet, capsule, or powder, concentrated in a vacuum, cold-process system that preserves all of the active enzymes and vital components that make it work as Mother Nature intended. These real food supplements match the needs of the body. These are nutrients you are simply not getting, or not assimilating, in your current diet.
These deficiencies are due to both your eating habits and the lack of quality in the commercially-available foods in grocery stores and restaurants.
Aren’t all vitamins and supplements the same?
No. Designed Clinical Nutrition is not ‘over-the-counter’ vitamins. Over-the-counter vitamins are pharmaceutically engineered chemical fractions of vitamin structures reproduced in a laboratory. They are not “whole food” and the body does not actually recognize these as anything even vaguely beneficial (to put it mildly).
Because they are not made from whole foods, over-the-counter vitamins lack the essential synergistic elements normally present in whole foods.
Carrots, an example of a whole food, are high in Vitamin A Complex. A “complex” is something made up of many different parts that work together. Synthetic vitamin A does not contain the whole “Vitamin A Complex” found in nature. They synthesize the one component, beta-carotene and call that Vitamin A. The same is true with Ascorbic Acid which is only one tiny fraction of Vitamin C.
If you are deficient in any of the components of Vitamin A Complex, seek a supplement that was made from whole foods that were rich in this complex – like carrots – not from chemicals re-engineered in a laboratory to look like one minuscule fragment of the Vitamin A Complex that has erroneously been labeled “Vitamin A.”
What about “Natural” Vitamins?
Vitamins that are being used all over today generally only need to have a small percentage of their actual content derived from natural sources to be labeled “natural”. If your vitamins are not derived from whole foods they often make you even more deficient and nutritionally “out-of-balance.” They can create new health problems because they do not contain all of the co-factors found in nature that make the vitamins effective.
Inherently flawed scientific studies done with these fractionated, synthetic vitamins repeatedly “prove” that vitamins don’t do much good for anyone! That is completely true when you are talking about pharmaceutical compounds. With whole food, live vitamins, or supplements, it is an entirely different story.
It is possible to reverse disease and achieve true health?
Many people we see in our practice have eaten themselves into their current state of ill-health, to one degree or another. The deficiencies or imbalances lead to a breakdown in resistance, or immunity, and a loss of the ability to cope with environmental stresses (chemical, microscopic, or otherwise).
The good news is that with a Designed Clinical Nutrition protocol specific to the needs of your body, it possible to reverse the process and achieve Total Health Restoration.
Summary
Through an analysis of your body’s reflexes, we help you to determine the exact nutrients you need to supplement your diet, in order to bring about balance and better health.
We make these highly concentrated therapeutic formulations available to you in tablets, capsules, or in powdered form, to “supplement” your current diet. That is why they are called “food supplements.”
Food supplements restore nutrients your body has not been getting through your normal diet. The supplements and Designed Clinical Nutrition program are only one part of your full Natural Health Improvement Program.
How are these whole food supplements produced?
One example of a Designed Clinical Nutrition supplement that we use is called Catalyn. This product is produced by starting with a wide variety of carefully chosen organically grown vegetables, taking the water and fiber out using a vacuum, low heat process – without heating or cooking the vegetables, and then using the concentrated food to make the Standard Process brand Catalyn Tablets.
The key to this procedure is the Standard Process method devised by Dr. Royal Lee.
- Standard Process’ nutrients are derived from plants grown on their own farms, in soil free of pesticides. No chemicals are ever used. The PhDs check the soil before the seeds are sown, to ensure of the fertility of the soil – even the weeding is done by hand.
- The machinery involved in the processing of these products is made of glass and stainless steel only.
- The temperature used in processing harvested plants is never raised above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, so the active ingredients are not cooked: they remain active and alive. They have a long shelf life without preservatives of any kind.
Your vitality, health, and energy, are derived from live food. Most foods today are dead – or are not really foods at all – they are highly processed pseudo-foods like boxed cereals, canned vegetables, soda pop, “convenient” food, etc.
Anyone can easily see the difference between these dead, devitalized, pseudo-foods with synthetic or isolated vitamins, and nourishing, live, real food supplemented with whole-food based Designed Clinical Nutrition.
There is a great deal of technology and know-how behind what we do. Having been designed through decades of clinical use on tens of thousands of patients, and on patients from many different types of health care practitioners, you can be assured that the Nutrition Testing performed at our office is capable of evaluating and solving your health concerns.
Each patient gets completely individualized handling, in the correct sequence for his or her body. Very much like opening a combination lock, you must use the right numbers in the right sequence and in the right direction at the right time.
