"The U.S. Statistical Abstract of 1992 reported that 98.5% of the U.S. Population are unhealthy," quotes Dr. Donna F. Smith, owner of Advanced Clinical Nutrition in Wichita Falls, TX.
How did this happen?
Dr. Royal Lee answered this question in 1943: we have drifted into this deplorable position of national malnutrition quite inadvertently. It's the result of scientific research to create foods that are non-perishable, mass-produced, and distributed so cheaply. Then after there develops a suspicion that these foods are inadequate to support life, modern advertising science steps in to get people to believe there is nothing wrong with them, so the confused public continues to blindly buy the rubbish that is killing them off years ahead of their time.
HERE IS A SELF-TEST!
Next time at the grocery counter, ask yourself: "Is my grocery basket over 90% full of whole, fresh foods? Or Is my basket full of longer shelf-life, mass-produced containers?" Then think of your weight gain or loss, aches and pains, tiredness, mental dysfunction, and restless sleep. Yes, all are signs of malnutrition and the types of foods you routinely put in your basket directly affects how you feel!
THE TRUE DEFINITION OF MALNUTRITION
Most Americans think of malnutrition only in its extreme as seen in pictures of people wasting away (skin and bones) and dying in impoverished countries. In reality, Malnutrition is a "Lack of necessary or proper food substances in the body or improper absorption and distribution of them." (Taber's Medical Dictionary)
You may ask, "How can I be tested for my level of malnutrition, and if I am absorbing and distributing the good nutrients I do ingest? Contact Advanced Clinical Nutrition.
With Clinical Nutrition TESTING, there is no GUESSING!
"If you cannot metabolize (digest, absorb, assimilate and distribute) the foods and supplements you ingest, they will not reach your cells to nourish your body. Thus, a person can become malnourished on the best foods and vitamin supplements, if they do not metabolize them," reports Dr. Donna F. Smith.
Dr.Smith further reports, "I have even found malnutrition in obese people. The big challenge for 98.5% of Americans is the long-term effect of months or years of consuming mass-produced, chemical additives foods, for longer shelf-life, on their nutritional biochemistry and collection of toxicity (undigested food, fluid and fat) in the fat cells of the obese. This has resulted in "clinical" or "sub-clinical" vitamin/mineral deficiencies and accumulated chemical toxicity that adversely affects biochemical and metabolic balance, which then causes organ/gland dysfunction and eventually leads to nutrition-related diseases.
Clinical and sub-clinical level deficiencies can be identified in Laboratory Reports from blood, urine, saliva, hair, stools, etc Once identified, they can be corrected through diet and taking the specific, therapeutic, whole food supplements (vitamins, minerals, herbs, or homeopathics) and, thereby, improve health."
SYMPTOMS OF NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIES FEEL
THE SAME AS SYMPTOMS OF DISEASE!
The
symptoms of "clinical and sub-clinical" deficiencies, which then become
biochemical imbalances, and later organ/gland dysfunction(s), depending
upon how long this has been occurring in the body, feel and appear the
same as the symptoms of disease.
Though one may think that the
severity of the symptoms would be at its worse in the disease stage of
this health-breakdown process, and it can be, some people suffer with
the same intensity, in the clinical nutritional stage, as others do at the disease stage.
Often after
through medical examination and testing, their physician reports all
tests are normal.
However, these
same tests when interpreted nutritionally, from the perspective of
homeostasis (true biochemical balance/equilibrium, reveal the nutrient
deficiencies, imbalances and dysfunctions, not identified by a medical
(disease) interpretation.
When test results are nutritionally
normal, they are in Homeostasis, the definition of true health.
When tests results are medically normal, it simply means you
are disease-free.
However, if
this is not understood, people, with medically normal test results, can
leave their physician's office confused and without answers to the
cause of their symptoms.
If this is what you have experienced, too, this is good news. It means you are disease free. So the next step is to contact Dr. Smith for a clinical nutrition interpretation of your medical tests, so that your deficiencies, imbalances and organ/gland dysfunctions can be identified and corrected.
Generally, within 3-6 weeks on your clinical nutrition program, your symptoms begin to disappear. In the event, your medical tests do not provide the information required to determine the cause of your nutritional symptoms, Dr. Smith will order the nutritional tests that will.
Nutrition-Related Diseases Are Our Leading Diseases Today!
Nutrition-related diseases are the leading American diseases today, such as, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, colon cancer, most cancers, etc. Clinical deficiencies are also at the root of new illnesses not even heard of before the 20th Century -- Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Immune Dysfunction, PMS, Anxiety or Panic Attacks, Bi-Polar Disorder, ADD, ADHD, etc.
Today, our children are being born with more mental and physical health challenges and/or developing adult-type diseases in their youth, due to malnutrition and the adverse, side effects from vaccinations, which can range from weakening the immune system to learning disabilities, including Down's Syndrome and Autism.
(Refer to Supreme Court Ruling on vaccinations as being a cause of autism, 2008)
DISEASES ARE CAUSED BY LONG-TERM NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES!
AND IT STARTS WITH OUR SOIL....
DEPLETED SOILS = DEPLETED FOODS =
DEPLETED NUTRIENTS IN OUR BODIES!
"Because
of depleted soils, only organically-grown fresh foods contain complete
nutrient value. However, organic foods are not available in every
grocery store. Even in those that have organic foods, there may not be
the variety necessary to fully nourish the body and mind.
Therefore,
with good intentions, people are now taking vitamin and mineral
supplements, however," reports Dr. Smith, "without first being
nutritionally tested for what they need, many are getting the wrong
kind of supplement or taking the wrong dosage. This results in further
delaying their healing, and may cause additional biochemical
imbalances due to an increase or deficiency in other nutrients affected
by taking the wrong type or dosage of a supplement."

Soon, you, too, will improve your health, increase energy, manage weight, control appetite,
balance hormones, strengthen bones, boost mental function, regenerate cells, heal tissue, promote anti-aging, prevent disease, and enhance life and sports performance, just as thousands of our clients have done before you.
