What is Nutrition Response Testing  Shari Black-Scott, Natural Health Improvement Center. Nutrition Response Testing uses the body's own unique intelligence to determine if there is any state of nutritional deficiency in the body. Each organ of the body is in charge of utilizing, absorbing and distributing certain vitamins and minerals. NRTesting works on the premise that the human body has electricity running through it steadily and constantly. If there is a stress to that organ and it is not functioning properly, then the nutrition is not being correctly utilized, distributed or absorbed. Over time this sets up the scenario of a deficiency. With NRTesting we are able to test the body's own electrical reflexes that pertain to specific organs within, to determine what area of the body is being affected. Under NRTesting analysis system, problems are primarily corrected by identifying and removing any "nutritional roadblock", changing diet, and strengthening the body by taking whole food supplements until the body's systems become strong enough to once again work at their optimium performance level. So if you are someone who wants to improve/maintain health, lose weight, or have health complaints then you would benefit from learning about Nutrition Response Testing and how it can help you achieve a more optimum level of health.

Energy Medicine - How Energy Works for Healing the Body with Penelope Jewel, The goal of any healing process is to assist and empower the body to heal itself - to bring the body into a balance that will allow healing to occur naturally.There are many healing disciplines based on balancing the ways that energy moves in the body – acupuncture, acupressure, Reiki, chiropractic, yoga, and meditation to name just a few. Some you can even learn to do for yourself. All of these approaches use some method to bring about a balance of energy flow in the body that will support the body’s natural ability to heal itself. We’ll take a look at how energy flows in the body, how some of the common “energy medicine” disciplines use energy flow to support healing, and what approaches might work for you. http://reikiworks.info/Reiki_Works/Welcome.html and http://penelope.org/Penelope.org/Welcome.html
