How would you like to use a series of take-home tests to give your patients as "homework" between their office visits? This book presents a series of 17 take-home tests that you can give to your patients to perform in between their office visits. Patient "homework" is an important method of gathering patient data, of creating compliance, and will be a useful referral tool as well. These tests will allow you to assess for digestion, elimination, zinc status, pH regulation, hypothyroid conditions, iodine insufficiency, blood type, and food and other sensitivities and intolerances. The book is divided into two sections. The first outlines each test, with a full interpretive section, and the second section contains the handouts themselves. Each handout gives your patient the necessary instructions to accurately perform the test. This book includes: - In depth information on 17 take-home tests that will provide invaluable data on your patients. - An extensive section on how to identify acid-alkaline imbalances in your patients. - Tests to monitor not only your patients' digestion but also their elimination. - Identify not only whether your patient is zinc deficient but also how zinc deficient.
