Nutritional
balancing is a comprehensive, in-depth nutritional healing system. It uses a properly performed and
properly interpreted hair tissue mineral analysis from a laboratory that has
not washed the hair at the lab.
Nutritional balancing is explained in depth in several articles on this
website.
Several
options exist to help you begin a nutritional balancing program:
1.
You may work directly with myself and my assistant, Dr. Larry McHaney, DC. We each have over 25 years experience
with this program. We offer it by
mail. We can send you a hair sampling
kit if you send us an email at Larry@drlwilson.com. For faster service, you may begin a
program using instruction on this website by clicking

2.
Alternatively, I have trained practitioners around the United States and
elsewhere. Here is the list of these
trained professionals.
APPROVED PRACTITIONER LIST
The
practitioners on the list below should offer excellent service. Please let me know if you have a
problem.
While many other doctors offer hair mineral analysis, I cannot
recommend them. The great majority
do not use the correct laboratory and, even if they do, are not experienced in
the interpretation method and the design of the corrective program. These are the only practitioners I am
able to recommend:

IS NUTRITIONAL BALANCING FOR YOU?
In my experience, the nutritional balancing approach is by
far the best for most people. For
some, however, it is not the best.
Click
here to read why this is so and if you are one of those who may benefit the
most.
If you would like to learn more about hair mineral analysis,
I have written a book and many articles on this subject. Please click here for this
information. Following is an overview of the program.
COMPONENTS OF
NUTRITIONAL BALANCING PROGRAMS
How This Program Works. Illness develops in stages. Often, years of physical, biochemical
and emotional upsets deplete the body of nutrients, cause the accumulation of
toxic metals and in other ways disturb the body. These insults are added to imbalances, deficiencies and
toxicity with which almost everyone today is born. Healing is a reversal of this process.
This program is concerned with healing these
deep imbalances, and not simply removing your symptoms. Symptom removal may occur faster, but
often does not address causes.
Your hair mineral analysis reflects the top layer of your
metabolism. We address what is
revealed on the test with diet, supplementary nutrients, lifestyle modification
and detoxification procedures.
After
several months, a retest will reveal a deeper layer of your metabolism. Many times, it will look quite
different from the previous layer if this healing program was followed. Uncovering and reversing layers of
adaptations and compensations, a process we call retracing, requires time and
some persistence, but is far more permanent and health-producing than simply
eliminating your symptoms.
RECOMMENDATIONS
A
total program always works best.
This includes a 1) healthful diet, 2) correct drinking water, 3)
healthful lifestyle including plenty of rest and sleep, 4) detoxification
procedures, 5) several nutritional supplements, 6) mental and emotional
training, and 7) other techniques for stress reduction and healing the body,
mind and spirit. For example,
chiropractic, bodywork, yoga and meditation, among others, may be most helpful.
You
will be asked to do as much of the program as you can. Do not be too hard on yourself if you
begin slowly, slip up or cannot do it exactly. Do your best each day.
Deep
healing, you will find, is a path and quite an adventure. Stay with the program as closely as
possible for the best results.
1.
DIET
A specific and very healthful diet is basic for
success. I will send you diet
information. Change your diet slowly
if necessary, but make the changes as completely as possible.
2.
DRINKING WATER
The type and amount of water you drink is quite
important. Drink 3 or more
quarts of preferably warm water each day. Beverages such as coffee, tea, juices or cola drinks are not
substitutes for drinking water. Do
not let your mouth get dry. We
often recommend distilled water for a while when beginning this program to help
remove loosely bound toxic metals and chemicals. It is excellent for this purpose and does not make the body
more acidic, as some say.
After
this period, we usually recommend spring water as a daily drinking water. It is mineralized water that does not
contain harmful chemicals in most cases.
Water filtered through carbon, or preferably a carbon block, is our
second best alternative to obtain mineralized water. Carbon, however, does not remove much fluoride or most toxic
metals. Reverse Osmosis
filtration, tap water and “drinking water” are less beneficial in our
experience.
3.
LIFESTYLE
Go to bed before 9 PM daily whenever possible
and do your best to obtain 10 hours of sleep each day. This is also critical for your success
in deep healing. Some rest can be
obtained through a nap near midday.
Rest
more if you feel tired. Periods of
fatigue will occur at times on this program. Healing requires a lot of energy and shifts in body
chemistry also often cause one to be tired. This is entirely normal and to be expected for quite a
while.
Do gentle exercise only. Some practitioners advise differently. However, for this program, only use
slow walking for a maximum of one hour daily for exercise. You may also do gentle yoga, tai chi or
chi kung exercises. Vigorous
exercise is not recommended or helpful in any way.
Clean
House.
At home and at work, avoid breathing or contact with toxic products as much as
possible. Use natural materials throughout your home as much as possible. Also, substitute non-toxic cleaners, solvents,
plant sprays and other chemicals for toxic cleaning and other household and
office chemicals wherever possible.
Store toxic products away from living areas.
Use
only simple, natural soaps and cosmetics.
These are available at health food stores and other outlets. Dr. Bronner’s pure castile soap is
available in various scents and is an all-natural product. Avoid detergents with strong
odors. Instead of toxic perfumes,
colognes or aftershave lotions, use a drop of an essential oil if needed. Most deodorants and anti-perspirants
also contain toxic chemicals that can damage the liver. Look for all-natural underarm products.
Also,
minimize electromagnetic stress, especially in sleeping areas. Televisions,
computers, cell phones, electric clocks, transformers and other electric
devices may emit large electromagnetic fields. Make sure these are turned off when you sleep, or are at
least 20 feet from your bed.
Many
people wear toxic clothing. Choose
natural fiber clothing and preferably loose-fitting clothing that does not
bind. Avoid stretchy clothing that
is worn tight to the skin. The
skin must breathe.
Sunshine. When possible, expose as much of the
body as is appropriate, especially the eyes and the chest, to sunlight daily
for 20 minutes or so. The best
times are early morning or late afternoon. Sunshine, in moderation, is most
helpful for healing. It promotes
vitamin D production, especially when the sun shines on your chest.
Do
not use sunglasses or sunscreens for this exposure, though they may be needed
if you work in the sun or must be outdoors for longer periods of time.
If
it is too cold or bad weather prevents you from sitting outside in the sun, sit
in front of a glass window where the sun shines in to obtain sunlight. You may also use a full-spectrum lamp
in your sauna or other area to obtain exposure to the beneficial rays of the
solar spectrum.
4. NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS
Several nutritional supplements, in our experience, are
needed for a time to rebalance most people’s body chemistry. After several years of using
supplements, depending on how rapidly your body responds, you will need only
maintenance doses. The goal is to
improve your diet, digestion and utilization of nutrients so that supplements
are not needed.
Take
your supplements three times a day with meals. If you are very sensitive, begin with one dose a day and
work up slowly over a period of several weeks.
Too
many supplements are hard to handle and should be avoided. A common mistake is to believe that if
a few are good, more must be better.
This is not true in most cases and quite the opposite may be the case.
Slow oxidizers often do well adding kelp to their
supplement list – between 3 and 12 tablets daily. These provide extra minerals and especially iodine that many
people need. They are available at
the health food store. The brand
does not matter much.
5. ATTITUDES AND EMOTIONS
Positive, uplifting, inspiring thoughts and attitudes contribute greatly
to healing. Negative attitudes and feelings such as guilt, fear, anger or
cynicism harm the body cells. In
truth, you are loved unconditionally by the Creator more than you can possibly
imagine. This is always true,
though you may not feel it. Your thoughts are a choice and you can choose
differently.
Anger and fears may be
looked at as temptations that can be difficult to resist. Changing your thinking, however, is
often absolutely required for complete healing of the body and the mind.
Meditation. Another excellent method to calm and
retrain the mind is an observation-meditation exercise. I learned this some 28 years ago and
continue to benefit greatly from it.
It is available on a CD from us for $9.00 plus about $3.00
shipping. Just any type of
meditation will not do, although other mental exercises are excellent for other
purposes. Click here to read an
article about meditation and its many amazing benefits.
6.
DETOXIFICATION PROCEDURES
In addition to diet, nutritional supplements and a healthful
lifestyle, I will recommend a detoxification protocol that usually consists of
sauna therapy and perhaps other procedures such as coffee enemas, colonic
irrigation or other detoxification modalities. Click here to read about Sauna Therapy.
7.
STRESS REDUCTION AND OTHER HEALING MODALITIES
There are many healing
approaches that have value at times for balancing, strengthening, removing
blockages and calming the nervous system.
Ones I have found helpful include chiropractic, energy work, spiritual
counseling and bodywork.
Avoid
the temptation, however, to do so many at once that you become confused. You will have to discern which ones and
which practitioners are best for you at any time.
Also avoid the temptation to take lots of other
supplements along with your nutritional balancing program. This is difficult for some people. It will, however, likely interfere with
the success of the nutritional balancing program, which may seem very basic,
perhaps. However, it is
coordinated and balanced for you.
Adding extra oral chelators, antioxidants, and many more that are
available will as often as not confuse the body and render the program less
effective.
FOLLOW
UP. For best results, keep
in touch with your practitioner!
Physical and emotional healing reactions can and do occur on this
program as part of deep healing and toxin removal. It is important to call your practitioner if needed so as
not to worry or become discouraged.
HEALING
OR PURIFICATION REACTIONS. These are
temporary flare-ups of symptoms that occur as your body chemistry rebalances
and as toxic metals and chemicals are eliminated from the body.
This
can cause temporary physical symptoms such as a cold, sore throat, stomach ache
or other ache or pain. They can
also cause emotional symptoms such as feeling tired, depressed, anxious or
moody. If any symptom persists or
causes concern, please contact us.
RETESTS. Retests are very important to check
progress and alter the diet and supplement program periodically. They are usually done at 3-4 months
after the initial test. Later they
can be spread out to 6 months or even more time between retests.
A
SUPPORT GOUP. I have found it most
helpful to have support when you undertake a deep healing program such as this
one. It is worth looking for
friends, family members, work associates, practitioners, books and other
resources to support you in your effort to get well and stay well.
It
may be equally important to reduce your contact with those who do not support
your effort. This is only common
sense. If you lose a few friends,
you will gain new ones. Real
friends will make an effort to at least understand what you are doing, and
hopefully join you in a healing lifestyle. There comes a point at which it makes little sense to eat
poorly, miss your rest and sleep and indulge in risky or otherwise unhealthful
attitudes and activities.
There are many people who are tired of feeling
tired and willing to make the effort to change how they feel by altering how
they live. Many more will see it
soon. Count yourself fortunate
that you have decided to make a difference in the world by investing in
yourself and choosing for health and healing.
