“One of the most exciting seminars I have attended! At last there is a way of objectively identifying the underlying nutritional needs of the patient. More importantly, effectively managing and monitoring the patient’s care and their progress. Compliance increases because the patient is involved and excited to see their progress. I would recommend this seminar to any professional who wants to accomplish these goals.”

Urinary Adrenal Test-Looking at Adrenal stress and fatigue states. This test measures the amount of chlorides displaced in the urine. Chloride spill in the urine can show a correlation with cortisol levels.

Thyroid Profile-Simple temperature and skin iodine tests will detect patterns of hypo-thyroid. Correlations with symptoms and serum tests will also be demonstrated. 

Chronic Fatigue and Reduction- Reduction patterns in cellular energy take place in the mitochondria of the cell. This is the power producing part of the cell which produces ATP.  Reduced clients will have limited or little ATP production. They tend to be very fatigued and have no energy. Reduction patterns can be seen in the Urinary Oxidation test, Urinary Adrenal test, Urinary Electrolytes test, and Urinary Ammonia test. Reduced clients also tend to be deficient in certain enzymes and amino acids that work closely with cellular function.

This seminar integrates Terrain testing with Nutritional and Metabolic Urinalysis to give you a complete picture of deficiencies and metabolic patterns which may contribute to chronic illness.

The testing is time and cost efficient. On average, the testing takes about 10-15 minutes and is done right in your office with no waiting for labs to respond. You may elect to send the analysis to our lab if you don’t have the staff or time to do them. But many practitioners elect to do them right in the office. The cost is very low when compared to outside lab testing. It also gives you a method for tracking results in your office. By tracking these results in your office you can have stronger client leverage and compliance with no time lapse in waiting for results.

Sometimes doing tests and getting results only adds more questions.

In this seminar you will be taught a complete system. Many of these tests correlate well with each other and with outside lab testing. We will teach you what ratios to look for and which categories to address first and why. Why certain nutritional and herbal formulations will be called for first and how to tailor a nutritional maintenance program for your clients.

High Urinary Electrolytes (mineral salts) -High salts in the urine tend to create internal heat.(Oriental Medical Theory) Many skin, lymphatic, and muscular conditions are affected by this excessive salt buildup in the tissues.

Urinary High Nitrates -  A relatively new molecule discovered in the mid 1980’s, Nitric Oxide has been linked to allergies, asthma, hypertension, cardiac conditions, and many other disorders. Liver detox pathways can be affected by Nitric Oxide.

Urinary Oxidation Marker - The byproduct of many inflammatory conditions is the increase of  free radical activity.  You may quantitatively measure this free radical activity in the urine using an in-office Lipid Peroxide test.  High oxidation can also be a cross-marker for LDL cholesterol.  Highlighting not just the level of LDL cholesterol but the oxidized quality of
the cholesterol.

Urinary Vitamin C - Measure Vitamin C levels in the urine and see the immune stressors that can increase the need for Vitamin C.

A very important part of this program is how to communicate with your clients and share with them the great information you will obtain from this program. Dr. Stiteler will show you how he has implemented this program into his practice and give you pointers and tips he has learned in his 20 years of terrain and metabolic testing. There are patient handouts, intake forms, patient color brochures, and software programs to help with diet and lifestyle.

The body’s Terrain is the biochemical environment in which organs and cells function. Several factors influence this system-wide environment such as acidity, oxidative stress, electrolyte conditions, and the availability of various key nutrients.
