What is Contact Reflex Analysis?

Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA) is a safe, natural way to determine the root cause of a health problem.  A muscle testing technique similar to applied kinesiology is used to test the 75 major reflexes of the body, each one correlating to a specific organ, structure, or process.  These reflexes are based on the points of acupuncture and are very precise.  Through this non-invasive method, not only can the doctor find the source of outward symptoms, but he or she can also find out which supplement or medication is most indicated, and get correct dosage information for each animal patient.

This method of determining the body's needs was developed after years of research by a chiropractor (Dr. Versendaal) and is now used by health professionals in different fields, such as medical doctors, clinical nutritionists, optometrists, dentists, and veterinarians.  The method used to muscle test the animals is similiar to that used in Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique in that it uses a human surrogate as the intermediary between the veterinarian and the animal patient.

The research and practice of CRA is continued all over the world by doctors who are continually comparing the results with results of blood tests, urine tests, and others and finding accuracy every time.  The process is not used as a method of diagnosis, but rather a method used to point us in the correct direction for changes in medications or whole food supplements to correct deficiencies that might arise.  It can also lead us in the direction of further diagnostics, such as X-rays or ultrasound, to further illustrate the problem that was detected with CRA.

Commonly, the CRA results indicate a problem that can be fixed by whole food supplementation.  Organic, fresh whole food supplements produced by Standard Process can solve the body's deficiencies in a natural, safe manner.  Standard Process takes great pride in being able to provide a quality product by harvesting their own organically produced fresh ingredients and carefully controlling the manufacturing process to preserve the ingredients.  The key to supplementation is to follow the directions exactly and continue for the prescribed amount of time, and if those conditions are met, we have seen some amazing results!
