My best friend and I have been going to the Nutritional Wellness Institute (NWI) in Knoxville, Tennessee for many years. They use muscle response testing to determine weaknesses in the body to treat illnesses through nutritional wellness, including diet and nutritional supplements. Because of our great successes through NWI we sought a vet who also practices muscle response testing.
Our dog, Oliver, had red, itchy feet and legs and he was constantly scratching and biting at them. We had taken him to our local vet whom we still use and to a local itch clinic and tried different solutions for his problem with no success (all requiring prescription medications which we didn’t want to give him). We located Dr. Moorehead through the Ulan Institute and scheduled our first appointment in September 2020. It is now early 2023 and his itchy red skin issues are resolved. Several other issues were revealed during this time that also had to be dealt with (pesticides in his body and sensitivities to certain foods are a couple). Even though the itching issues are gone we will continue to see Dr. Moorehead to keep him in optimal health and deal with any other issues that may arise. Since we have been clients at NWI for many years, we realized as one issue is resolved, an underlying one may show up.
Even though the roundtrip drive to Dr. Moorehead’s office should take about 7 hours, it was often more like 9 or 10 due to interstate construction; however, we faithfully kept our appointments, which were at first about every 4-5 weeks, because we knew it would be worth it.
Oliver is a healthy dog, and we are so thankful we found Dr. Moorehead! Of course, we wish there was a vet locally who practices muscle response testing; although, I don’t know that we could stop coming to see Dr. Moorehead and his terrific staff! They are all so wonderful there and Oliver loves to go see them! We still have a local vet we see for vaccinations, teeth cleaning, etc., and wish they would have a staff vet trained in muscle response testing.
We just want people to know about this type of treatment and the great benefits it can produce. It’s amazing what muscle testing can reveal about your body and health without all the expensive and invasive tests. It took a few months for the redness to clear up (the redness went up his legs, not just on his feet). Altogether it took a little over two years to totally get the skin issues under control. We are beginning to move to a maintenance plan and will have 2 months or more without having to make the drive to Dr. Moorehead’s office for treatments! Hallelujah! Stick with it and find a muscle response person for your own health!
