Have you ever walked into a health food store or vitamin aisle at the supermarket and been totally overwhelmed with the number of vitamins, herbs and supplements available? It seems as if there is a vitamin, herb, or supplement for every ailment known to man. But how do you know which one to take for your ailment, and how much, and when? These are very valid questions. After all, you don't start taking supplements simply because you've heard it's effective and "it can't hurt to take it." |

Often times taking more is not better than less. But how do you know? Contact Reflex Analysis, or CRA, helps to answer all the above questions and so many more. Treating The Cause, Not The Symptom As holistic care providers, we at Optimal Wellness Center are constantly trying to determine the cause of illness, not treat the symptoms or signals the body gives off as a result of illness. By doing this, we not only relieve symptoms but also establish wellness.We consider CRA the "Total Body Modification (TBM) for nutrition" because it takes into account the many layers an illness can take on over time, and also reveals the underlying cause and nutritional deficiency associated with it. This allows us to identify the deficiency the body feels is the top priority and treat it through appropriate nutrition. Typically a patient has more than one problem that needs to be fixed. But by treating what the body feels is the priority usually relieves many symptoms which were merely a secondary result of the primary problem For example, if the body feels the major problem is a liver that is congested or not functioning at its optimal level and you take supplements for sinus congestion, fatigue, or sleep trouble, the true cause may be food allergies due to liver problems. By taking herbs for any of the above symptoms, you are never going to rid yourself of the problem permanently, because you are treating symptoms caused by the real problem-which is with your liver. How It Works CRA works much the same way as TBM (see the TBM newsletter and/or your Optimal Wellness Center professional for further information). CRA uses applied kinesiology, or muscle testing, to determine the cause of illness by asking the body questions at certain reflex points, or fuses on the body. |
