Difference Between Taking Medications and Taking Supplements

Differences Between Taking Meds and a Clinical Nutrition Plan

In our society, the usual route when one has a symptom or health problem is to go see your doctor. Most Americans have a doctor they check in with periodically, or at least when they need help with their health. If your health has declined enough they will be able to diagnose a problem and then you get medication.

Have you ever asked your doctor if the medication –let’s say it’s for your thyroid– is going to cure you?

Will you take the medication for a year and then your thyroid is healed? I think we all know the answer to that. Nobody expects the thyroid to heal and to stop taking the medications because that isn’t what they do. The medication doesn’t fulfill a physiologic need. For this reason, you are expected to take it for the rest of your life, and go see that doctor on a regular schedule to make sure it continues to control your numbers and symptoms.

We are all lead to believe that thyroids can’t heal. There is a common belief that diabetes, asthma, heart disease, seasonal allergies, etc., are unfortunate consequences of our genes. And once you “get it” all you can do is control it with meds. This is so untrue!

What is more influential and is ultimately going to determine whether you get diabetes, asthma or other illnesses, is your metabolic physiology. This is under your control. How you take care of yourself is the number one determining factor of your health status!

Nutrition Response Testing gets down to the reason why your body is malfunctioning. As you correct these problems by feeding your body the right nutrient-dense foods and whole food concentrated nutrients, your body heals. Then because human bodies always change one way or another, you check in with your Nutrition Response Practitioner periodically, as you would your doctor or dentist, so that you can be sure to stay at the upper end of your functional health.
​
Would you rather live with a well functioning, pain-free body for as long as you can, or take your meds and still be sick and “managing” a disease forever?

Hello everyone, I am from Wembley, Britain. I want to write this testimony to tell others and thank Dr. Odunga for what he has done for me. The first 12 years of my marriage I had 5 miscarriages and I was called all sorts of names by my mother-in-law and this made my marriage life very hectic and a burden of sorrow. I contacted Dr. Odunga for help and I will say that he is a very strong and honest man and he indeed helped me solve my problem. I saw his email in a testimony and I contacted him, little did I know it would be the end of all my problems. After 2 days of contact, I received a fertility herb and he told me to use it. The herb worked and my husband even loved me more and bought me expensive things. One afternoon, I went to a nearby hospital and came back home with the positive result of my pregnancy and after 9 months I gave birth to a baby boy. Ever since I contacted Dr. Odunga, my story has been different. I have 3 children at present and I am very happy in my marriage. Please, contact him at [email protected] OR Whats App him +2348167159012 to help you too
