Whether Nutritional Therapy first evolved from the old Jewish tradition of feeding chicken soup to the sick, or giving lemons to treat scurvy, or the magic of Japanese Miso soup or Miso dressing, it is still familiar to us all in one way or another. Early Nutritional Therapists were known as naturopaths, believing food should be as near to raw as possible. Nutritional Therapy, as we now know it, evolved from naturopathy and the allergy and environmental movements (clinical ecology) of the early twentieth century. Doctors and scientists became involved in the treatment of disease primarily by nutritional means.
Nutritional Therapy requires a specialist practitioner who is well trained in biochemistry, physiology and pathology as well as natural medicines. This enables the practitioner to use their extensive knowledge in diagnostic procedures that will determine an individual's nutritional needs; what deficiencies may have occurred, and why. They will develop customized diets and supplements which will often cure illnesses such as eczema, hyperactivity, chronic fatigue and migraine, to name but a few.
So how do you know which choice to make when it comes to choosing to complementary medicine therapy? Should you take your eczema to a herbalist, acupuncturist or a nutritional therapist? Many professional associations ask their therapists to offer a preliminary consultation free of charge. A Nutritional Therapist will use this time to identify the possible presence of food allergy, vitamin or mineral deficiencies, and/or toxic overload. When they have diagnosed what is present, an individual program will be developed. A Nutritional Therapist will want to work on many other factors too. Such as genetics, emotional or geographical stress and electromagnetic fields. If the body is found to have a disease that is incurable, the Nutritional Therapist will work on making the body more able to function at a maximum, and therefore fight the illness more efficiently.
