Healthexcel Why
is it that a given nutritional therapy works for one patient, has little
or no effect on another, and can actually worsen a third? Why do two
patients with the same disease require biochemically opposite approaches
to get well? Why is allopathic nutrition doomed to failure? Why is
it that for every book that says one thing, you can find another book
that says the opposite? Why will there never be one diet that is right
for everyone? Why will a given diet cause one to lose weight, while
another gains weight? How can someone eat organic foods, take the best
supplements money can buy, exercise regularly, sleep well, and still
not feel well? The answers to these questions may be found in The Healthexcel
System of Metabolic Typing, based on 17 years of empirical research
in the exciting field of metabolic typing and the determination of
individual metabolic requirements.
