What is Health Specifics?

Health Specifics (HS) are the supplements or nutraceuticals (Vitamins, Minerals, Enzymes, Etc.) recommended by the Metabolic Assessment Program and Metabolic Assessment Regimen.

Why do we need nutraceuticals?

In many instances, just changing one’s eating habits is not enough to meet increased nutritional demands of injury recovery, structural imbalances, or degenerative diseases such as cancer, arthritis, or multiple sclerosis. Nutraceuticals are a very important part of any disease healing, physical repair, rehabilitation, or health maintenance program.

How are nutraceuticals used?

We find that most physicians are still thinking in terms of disease-symptom-treatment. This may be true even of those doctors that have "gone natural." They recommend perhaps Vitamin C instead of an antibiotic, or Vitamin E instead of a drug for blood clotting.

Certainly their acknowledgement of the effectiveness of natural substances and the growing number of problems caused by drug side effects is commendable. However, they are still thinking in terms of treating a disease or symptom by giving a "potion" rather than by building health.

Other practitioners study biochemistry enough to know how to get drug-like responses from combinations of mega-doses of vitamins and minerals. The lazy, or allopathic thinking physician, wants to look at a list of symptoms or diseases and find nutraceuticals to suppress symptoms or treat a disease.

Too few really understand the concepts of balancing the chemistry in the body through a whole, integrated program of diet, nutraceuticals, internal cleansing, and consideration of emotion to a point where the disease is no longer a threat.
