Complete Practitioner's Guide to Take Home Testing

by Dicken Weatherby

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, why you should ask your patients to do the test, detailed instructions, a full interpretive section, and a section on other diagnostic tests you might want to consider after you have the results. The second section contains the handouts themselves. Each handout gives your patient the necessary instructions to accurately perform the test. Master copies of all the handouts are available on our website.

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 elimination
Identify not only whether your patient is zinc deficient but also how zinc deficient
