BLOOD TYPE DIETS:

Based on the work of Dr Peter D'Adamo ND, blood type diets are routine. As the human race begins to understand the implications of genetics, blood type diets offer a clearer picture according to DNA function of how certain foods can be beneficial or detrimental to each individuals health. Patients are encouraged to follow the blood type diet plan according to their blood group due to the simple fact that lectins’ reactions or blood proteins can increase or decrease blood flow.  As the body can be viewed as a flow system, any foods that hinder the movement of blood will cause disease and dysfunction and any food or substance that increase flow will improve oxygen and nutrient supply as well as remove waste and toxins.

The disadvantage is that blood type diets will tell you only the basic foods/vitamins generally good for blood type health.   Individual patient requirements of vitamins/ enzymes are calculated using our other point-of-care diagnostic tools such as the BTA/ blood chemistry and other physiological test such as blood pressure, breath rates etc specific to each individual.

METABOLIC TYPING - MT:

Most people believe that the body is designed to be healthy, if given the right food and water, that the ability to experience radiant health is part of the genetic code built into every cell in your body.  Based on the work of William Walcott, metabolic typing is a way to gauge how well you body is burning fats or carbohydrates, whether one is a fast oxidizer or slow oxidizer.  This is critical in understanding where the body's energy is coming from and how it is being utilized.

WATER QUALITY & LIFE:

Scientific research has vastly improved our understanding of the unique properties of water and the importance of consuming pure, clean water for optimum health.

The quality of life that our cells experience & the matrix or mesenchyme, & by extension that of our own body’s performance is determined by the quality of the water that we consume.  Water has several roles that cannot be replaced by anything that is man-made.

The pH of your water should be between 8.5 to 9.5, the redox potential of the water should be less than 25 millivolts, lower is better, and lastly the resistivity factor should be approximately 15,000.

At The Maas Clinic we are happy to do complimentary testing on all of our patients’ water sources to be sure that they are consuming water that is benefiting their program & health.
