The Center physicians and health care workers see patients with chronic illnesses who have not been helped, or have not been treated to their satisfaction. Many of our patients (or as we prefer to call them, co-learners) have seen three or more physicians and spent thousands of dollars without resolution to their problem. Our approach is not just to treat a patient's symptoms but to find the cause of their disease and to cure them. To accomplish this, the co-learner will spend a day (some times two) visiting with a physician, nurse, psychologist, and laboratory personnel having very comprehensive physical, history, psychological and laboratory examinations.

Only after the various nutritional and clinical tests have been completed is a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan designed with the patient/co-learner. Usually no nutrient or treatment plan is decided until the physician receives the results of the comprehensive laboratory testing. Whole blood, RBC, serum, urine, plasma or hair specimens may be tested. The physician can then tell which nutrients are low, normal, high or out of balance. We use the analogy of the body to that of the automobile. One would not go out to their car, raise the hood and put two quarts of oil in the motor with out first checking the dipstick. The same holds true for nutrients. We need to know level of the dipstick (low, normal, optimal or high range) before adding anything to the body.
