| comprehensive digestive stool analysis cdsa: Chronic Digestive Disorders Gaynor J Greber, 2018-10-30 Do you suffer with gastric problems, irritable bowel syndrome, food intolerance, allergies, skin problems or any other diagnosed gut disorder? Have you been given medication and told you will need to learn ‘to live with it’? Are you desperate for help? You will find that this book provides a lot of valuable answers. Drugs do not address the underlying cause of chronic disease, the gastrointestinal tract never repairs itself, diet and lifestyle are not factors assessed by GP’s, so the condition never improves but is just symptom-managed. Chronic Digestive Disorders offers an alternative route to achieving digestive health with a drug-free holistic approach – based on the principles of Nutritional and Functional Medicine. This health-care system focuses on identifying the biochemical and nutritional imbalance which is linked to symptoms of ill health at the cellular level. Analysis is made with specialised Laboratory tests, which help identify alterations in body systems. It does not take the ‘one pill fits all’ approach, but recognises individuality in all human body systems. Diet and lifestyle, the key factors behind the development of chronic health conditions, are assessed in detail and adjusted accordingly. Treatment involves Nutritional Therapy for nutritional supplementation, herbal and enzyme therapy and very distinct dietary recommendations, all aimed at correcting deficiencies and healing the gut. Using this guide, you can actively play an important part in your treatment and recovery, learning the core principles of keeping healthy with a nutrient rich diet. By following the guidelines you can help reverse all chronic digestive disorders. The human body is wonderfully self-healing - given the right conditions and following these principles, you can build a ‘new you’ and a better, healthier future. |

There are no known works that describe a clinical framework for CAM practice.

Clinical Decision Making in Complementary & Alternative Medicine is also unique in that it:• focuses on evidence-based practice while also paying attention to the underlying philosophy of complementary and alternative medicine• includes learning objectives and activities to consolidate reader knowledge and help lecturers teaching complementary and alternative medicine students• enables complementary and alternative medicine practitioners to systematically assess, diagnose, treat and evaluate client-centred health problems in accordance with the established art, science and philosophy of complementary and alternative medicine• guides practitioner thinking, assessment and care – all of which may help increase professional autonomy and accountability, improve client outcomes and quality of care, and reduce errors in decision making |

| comprehensive digestive stool analysis cdsa: The Core Balance Diet Marcelle Pick, 2011-01-23 From the co-founder of Women to Women, one of the first clinics in the country devoted to providing health care for women by women, comes a whole new way to look at weight loss; The Core Balance Diet. Marcelle Pick draws upon decades of patient and personal experience to solve the mystery of stubborn, frustrating weight gain in women, whether you've just gained it or have been struggling with it for years. This breakthrough program, which has benefited many of the thousands of women who visit the clinic each year, is rooted in cutting-edge nutritional science that explores the weblike relationship between women's hormones, metabolism, and weight gain.

These include digestive, hormonal, adrenal, neurotransmitter, inflammatory, and detoxification imbalances. From there, Pick guides you through easy lifestyle and diet changes customized to heal your specific imbalance.

Use the resources in this book to create a whole picture of your own child's conditions and customize a Sensory Diet for him/her. If you're the parent, teacher, relative or friend of a sensory kid, The Sensory Processing Diet will give you unique insight into his or her world.

| comprehensive digestive stool analysis cdsa: Biochemical Imbalances in Disease Ann Woodriff Beirne, Lorraine Nicolle, 2010-10-15 Biochemical imbalances caused by nutritional deficiencies are a contributory factor in chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, auto-immune conditions and cancer. This handbook for practitioners explains how to identify and treat such biochemical imbalances in order to better understand and manage a patient's ill-health. The book examines a range of biochemical imbalances, including compromised adrenal or thyroid function, gastro-intestinal imbalances, immune system problems and sex hormone imbalances, and explains how and why such states occur. It pulls together a wide range of evidence to show how such imbalances are involved in the most common chronic diseases. It helps practitioners to understand how to identify the imbalances through appropriate case history taking and laboratory testing, and how to design and implement effective nutritional interventions. Developed by leading academics and practitioners in the fields of nutritional therapy and functional medicine, this evidence-informed approach can be used with all patients who present in clinic, regardless of whether or not they have a 'named medical condition'. In the final chapter, a case example illustrates how to use the theoretical information in the practice of treating patients with chronically compromised health.
