Contact Reflex Analysis

Most of our new clients have been referred to us by other satisfied clients.

Did you hear about us from someone who was very happy with results?

However you heard about us, you probably have some idea what "Contact Reflex Analysis," or "CRA" is, and what we do.

What is CRA? 
CRA is very precise and scientific. However, if I were to analyze you using CRA before it was explained to you, you might find it strange or simply not believable- only because it is probably very different from anything you may have experienced before.

I can completely understand that because when I first saw CRA being done, my first reaction was "Oh boy, what is this weird stuff?" No one was more skeptical that I. As a result, I studied CRA videos and books extensively before I would allow anyone to use this procedure on me. And I am sure happy I did because without CRA, my own health had become so bad I was unable to work. And because of CRA, we are here and able to help you improve your health. But my story is the subject of another letter.

Quite frankly, if you are to get healthy and stay healthy, it is important that you understand what CRA is and what your recommendations are based on. Otherwise you are less likely to follow through and actually do what you need to do to get well. To put it simply, if you don't follow through, you won't get well. And if you are not going to get well, why do it in the first place?

The results of the CRA program are often in the 90& and better range. The only reason we are here is to help you get well. We have no other reason for being here, and hopefully you are here for that same reason. That is why I want to make sure you get the correct understanding of what CRA is right from the start.

Let's get started:
In medical practice there are two key elements: the diagnosis (identifying and/or naming the "disease" or syndrome) and the treatment (operation, drug, etc). In CRA we do not diagnose or treat disease, but we also have two parts: the analysis and the personalized health improvement program (using designed clinical nutrition). Simply put, first we do an analysis and then we design a natural health improvement program to help you handle what we find in our analysis of your body and condition.

First the Analysis
The analysis is done through testing the body's own reflex points. These are derived from the ancient Chinese system of acupuncture. The acupuncture system is thousands of years old. It is a study of how the different points on the surface of the body relate to the state of health and the flow of the energy in each and every function and part of the body.

Interestingly, not one acupuncture point has ever been changed over hundreds or thousands of years - not because the doctors were lazy or stupid - but because they are that accurate! 

Think about it:
Each reflex or acupuncture point represents a specific function, organ, or tissue, and indicates the energy or lack of energy and the effect on the body. By testing these points, we have a system of monitoring your body at each visit that is extremely accurate and helps us identify exactly what the body needs.

Does this sound like something you would want for yourself in order to predict with certainty what is needed and wanted by your body to get to the next stage of improved health?

How do we access the acupuncture system or reflex points in order to get this information?
If I were to hook you up to an electrocardiograph machine and take a reading, that would make perfect sense to you, right? What is actually happening during this procedure? Electrical energy from the heart is running over the wires. This electrical energy makes the electrocardiograph record the energy pattern in the form of a graph or chart. The doctor could then study this graph and tell you what it's meaning. This would usually entail having you go home and return at a later date for a report of your findings.

Here is what we do with Contact Reflex Analysis: Instead of connecting electrodes to the specific points being tested, the CRA practitioner contacts these points with the fingers of one hand. You hold one arm outward, and with his other hand, he will contact your extended arm. If the reflex is "active" or "hot" energy will be transferred from the reflex point-through his body to the test muscle at the top end of your outstretched arm, making it weaken and your arm will drop or come down.

Why is the person who referred you feeling better?
Because we did this reflex analysis for him/her, found the "active" reflexes and then made specific nutritional recommendations to help that body return to a better state of health. Which is the same thing that can be done for you.

Part two - the personalized health improvement program
Let's say the "liver" point or the "kidney" point is active, then what? Each point has a meaning. We use designed clinical nutrition for each point that shows up in order to correct the imbalance or deficiency that caused the point or reflex to become active in the first place. It's that simple!

In medicine the medical doctor makes a diagnosis and then uses drugs or surgery to attack, suppress the symptoms, or remove the offending organ or part. In Contact Reflex Analysis, we use "DESIGNED CLINICAL NUTRITION" to correct the cause of the problem so the body can have the ability to correct itself.

What exactly is DESIGNED CLINICAL ANALYSIS?
First of all, it is not vitamins, as in "over-the-counter." Those are frequently coal-tar reproductions of isolated chemical formulas of vitamin structures reproduced in a laboratory. They are not only frequently made from coal-tars, but also lack the synergistic elements normally present in WHOLE foods.

An example of a whole food could be carrots. Carrots are high in Vitamin A COMPLEX. A "complex" is something with many different parts that work together. Synthetic vitamin A does not contain the whole "Vitamin A Complex" found in nature. So, if we were looking for a food high in Vitamin A, carrots might be one of our choices.

Vitamins that are being used all over today generally only have a small percentage of their actual content from natural sources to be labeled "natural." In any case, because they are not derived from whole foods, they often make you more deficient and nutritionally out-of-balance and can create other problems because they do not contain all of the co-factors found in nature which make the vitamins work.

"Designed clinical nutrition" is exactly that: designed (especially prepared based on a specific plan) clinical (pertaining to the results gotten in clinical use or actual practice) nutrition (real food, designed by nature to enable the body to repair itself and grow healthfully).

It is whole food in a tablet, designed to match the needs of the specific acupuncture or reflex points found on your individual CRA analysis. These are nutrients you are simply not getting or assimilating in your current diet. This may be due to your personal eating habits and routines, but it is definitely due in large extent to the lack of quality in the foods commercially available in grocery stores or restaurants.

Summary 

1. Through an analysis of your reflex points, we help you determine the exact nutrients you need to supplement your diet in order to bring balance and better health.
2. We make these available to you in a tablet form to "supplement" your current diet. That is why they are called "food supplements."
3. Depending on your individual situation, we might also require that you make some specific changes in your current diet and eating habits and routines in order to bring about the best possible results.
