Our Philosophy

In 1914, Dr. Daniel David Palmer noted that "When Educated and Innate Intelligences are able to converse with each other ... (a possibility which a not very distant future may disclose) we shall be able to make a correct diagnosis."

In the statement he referred to two kinds of intelligence available to determine the health status and guide the healing of a person -- the "Educated" intelligence and the "Innate" intelligence. The Educated intelligence is what we acquire in school and through life experience. The Innate intelligence we are all born with.

Innate intelligence is what allows every living thing to adapt to its environment in order to survive. For example, a plant will turn itself toward the sun if placed on a windowsill. A baby's heart beats and her small body digests and uses nutrients for growth, without being taught how to do these things.

We can support our Innate abilities by eliminating things that are harmful to the body and adopting behaviors that are healing to the body. It's also important to approach healing in the correct order. If you cut your hand in the garden, you would clean it first, then apply a salve and then bandage it. If these things are done in a different order, the healing process can be impaired.


We use Nutrition Response Testing to tap into both the Educated and Innate intelligences to determine the root cause of health challenges. Nutrition Response Testing also shows us the exact right order to approach the healing process. It's exciting to see the amazing success storiesthat our patients report to us every day at the Clinical Nutrition Center. If you are not a Nutrition Response Testing patient, the technique can never help you. But if you are a Nutrition Response Testing patient, it is my experience that nothing can help you more!

Modern Opinions on Innate Intelligence
"Intelligence is present everywhere in our bodies. Our own inner-intelligence is far superior to any we can try to substitute from the outside."
Deepak Chopra, M.D.
"God and the wisdom of the human constitute 90% of the hope of patients to recover. The body simply has super wisdom which is biased in favor of life rather than death."
Richard Cobalt, M.D.
"...A kind of super-intelligence exists in each of us, infinitely smarter and possessed of technical know-how far beyond our
present understanding."
