1. Metabolic typing is applicable to chronic health disorders.

Orthodox medicine excels in the treatment of acute medical emergencies such as traumatic injuries, childbirth, heart attacks, seizures, and other problems that necessitate rapid drug or surgical intervention. In contrast, metabolic typing is a clinical approach that is useful in the treatment and prevention of chronic health disorders- and enormous category of illness that accounts for eighty percent of all human health problems.

2. Metabolic typing moves beyond symptom-oriented medicine.

One of the primary limitations of orthodox medicine and modern nutritional science with respect to chronic health disorder is that they focus on treating conditions at the symptom level. Metabolic typing addresses health disorders at a much deeper level. It's geared toward building health by correcting the patterns of biochemical imbalance that underlie, or are at the root of, chronic health problems.

3. Metabolic typing produces reliable, predictable clinical results.

Modern nutritional science, like orthodox medicine, is primarily focused on the diagnosis and treatment of specific diseases. But when nutrition is used to treat specific symptoms or diseases, the results are unreliable and unpredictable. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. The reason is that two people with radically different physiological or metabolic problems may actually exhibit the same kinds of symptoms. Since metabolic typing focuses on the needs of the person with a given disease rather than on the disease itself, it offers a far more reliable methodology for evaluating and correcting real systemic problems.

4. Metabolic typing offers a highly integrated approach to building health.

Metabolic typing is based on the concept of optimizing health by building the strength of all the systems, organs, and glands simultaneously, in much the same way as a “rising tide lifts all boats.” If you try to treat just one part of the body at a time, it's the therapeutic equivalent of sweeping dirt under a carpet. You may get an initial positive effect, but after a while the health problem will just show up in another part of the body. In subsequent chapters, I'll tell you much more about this concept and the reason metabolic typing focuses on “balancing total body chemistry.”

5. Metabolic typing relies on the body's innate intelligence.

As all scientists know, nothing we can invent in the laboratory can actually “cure” a degenerative illness or induce a true “healing response.” It's the body itself that is the true healer, the ultimate source of wisdom that controls every authentic healing response. Although metabolic typing makes use of advanced computer technology, but its ultimate effectiveness is owed not so much to science or technology, but to its ability to utilize simple, subtle, natural methods that support the body's own innate ability to regulate and heal itself.

6. Metabolic typing represents a logical new paradigm shift.

Although it's a discipline based on traditional scientific knowledge, metabolic typing actually represents a profound new paradigm shift within the realm of modern medical science. In other words, metabolic typing relies on the very same information that supports current, mainstream belief systems in medicine and nutrition. But it provides an entirely new way of interpreting that information, and in turn applying it, in a practical way, to people's everyday lives.
