ABUNDA LIFE'S WORLD'S
GREATEST BODY-FAT LOSS PROGRAM: OUTPATIENT PROGRAM
Abunda Life's Outpatient Program
is designed for individuals unable to check into the Abunda Life Holistic
Healing retreat for at least the 5 day intensive or more, who desire
to go through the program at home.
It is also for those individuals who have gone through the Intensive
Inpatient Program and will now continue their home program under our
guidance and supervision.
Abunda Life is different from most weight programs that are either an
inpatient spa or an outpatient home program. Abunda Life offers both
services. We believe the battle of the bulge is for life and Abunda
Life is a way of life. The World's Greatest Body-Fat Loss Program is
a permanent program. It is for life. While foolish people want to fool
themselves into thinking they don't need any professional help in keeping
the fat off once its off, intelligent people who have been down this
road before, appreciate the fact that we are open about the issue and
that such a service is available.
In life anything worth doing is worth doing right. Taking care of your
health and fitness is not something you do today and forget tomorrow.
It's for life. Abunda Life will be there to help you for life. Abunda
Life will have an ongoing physical, mental and spiritual program to
help support you, long after you've checked out of the retreat. Unlike
other spas where your program is over at check out time, at Abunda Life
at check out time you are simply phasing into your next program.
The Chinese practice medicine
differently than we do in our country. Most individuals in our country
live their lives with little or no preventive health plan. No plan of
action concerning their health and fitness. When they get sick they
go to the doctor who usually treats them with shots, medication and
drugs. The person learns nothing from their sickness. Changes nothing
in his or her life and continues the same life-style after the symptoms
go away. As a result, in the drugging, the cause is more deeply entrenched.
In China people enter by agreement into a health partnership with their
doctor. The doctor gets paid as long as the family remains healthy.
The day any family member gets sick, the doctor's health insurance payments
stop. The doctor's job is to then work day and night until the patient
is well again. Only then are his payments resumed.
The Anglo Saxon race has an ancient say “An ounce of prevention is worth
a ton of cure.” While in Africa I observed similar belief systems of
the tribal elders. So it seems that every race and culture had similar
beliefs about health and prevention that seems to have been forgotten
by our computer age generation.
After all is said and done, The World's Greatest Body-Fat Loss Program
is the World's Greatest Preventive Health Program.
Because excess body-fat weight is the single biggest contributor to
sickness, disease and misery and also the greatest single most debilitater
of our physical, mental and spiritual health in our country, it is our
belief, after 30 years of private practice, that the loss, prevention
and conquest of body-fat will do more to prevent disease, sickness,
illness and misery than any other single human endeavor.
Inoculations are a absolute
hoax. Medical check ups have never been proven to reduce disease. Most
medical procedures serve little purpose for prevention, but keeping
physically fit, nutritionally sound, controlling stress, maintaining
positive mental attitudes, which The World's Greatest Body-Fat Loss
Program is all about, may prove to be the World's Greatest Preventive
Health and Longevity Program discovered to date.
In naturopathic school my
professor taught me that “Before a person can become truly well, they
must first become a little sick” and “Before a person is going to be
willing to go through the naturopathic discipline and change their life-style,
they must first be a little sick.”
At Abunda Life we believe excess body-fat is a sickness and we deal
with it as such because excess body-fat can kill you. You should be
thankful for your excess body-fat if your dissatisfaction instigates
the positive motivation required to change your life. Believe it or
not, most people will not change their life-style or destructive eating
habits for health purposes even when the life is in peril. So fat can
be a great blessing if it gives you the inspirational dissatisfaction
necessary to correct junk food habits and begin a new way of life.
Abunda Life's rooms are neat, clean and well decorated to make your
stay relaxing and comfortable.
HOW
TO GET STARTED ON THE OUTPATIENT PROGRAM
The Outpatient Program starts
with your Nutritional Testing and Personal Health Evaluation.
Your appointment will take about one hour. We will examine you, get
a detailed history, do a electronic body-fat composition analysis, basil
metabolism, iridology analysis, urine, saliva and hair with high tech
procedures. You will be given a number of important written tests. These
tests require that you grade yourself on various body signs, symptoms,
feelings, history and possible conditions. Some of the written tests
are extensive and may be taken home and mailed back to us.
It will take about one week to get your results back. We will set up
a second appointment to go over your report of findings and then put
you on your personal dietary, nutrition and food supplement program.
If detoxification is indicated, we will put you on a process known as
Naturopathic Detoxification.” The program will be designed around your
individual biochemistry, based upon your test results.
The primary goal of the naturopathic process is to balance the numbers.
The numbers refer to your body's chemistry indicated by your urine metabolic,
saliva, iris analysis, symptoms analysis and other metabolic indicators.
Your numbers are monitored throughout the process, because once the
numbers are balanced, your biochemistry starts to balance. Your body
graduates towards homeostasis and begins to make its own corrections.
Body-fat, along with toxins and other morbific waste materials begin
to burn off efficiently and fat weight comes off automatically and quite
easily once the process is set in motion.
In naturopathic medicine we believe that once the body is detoxified,
nutritionally sound and balanced, it will heal itself. The same principle
holds true for body-fat weight loss. It will self control almost effortlessly
once the numbers are balanced.
Once you are nutritionally tested and personally evaluated, given your
report of findings and put on your personal detoxification program or
personal dietary, nutritional and food supplemental program, we will
make our recommendation concerning follow up visits, supervision and
optional support services necessary for you to achieve your goals.
Although some people require intensive support and daily visits, most
people are managed well on weekly follow up visits to start during the
early part of the program. Then tapering off to every other week, then
monthly check ups and eventually after their goals are met, quarterly
maintenance.
Some people require extra help especially in the early stages of their
program. Those individuals may choose from a menu of optional clinic
services.
Many people have said this
is the best value received in their entire life. Even though there is
no insurance reimbursement for naturopathic care in New Jersey, many
people have said it was the best investment they have ever made in their
life.
In order to receive medical reimbursement for your nutritional testing
and other clinical services it is necessary for you to see our medical
doctor and go through a comprehensive medical evaluation with complete
blood tests. Your fees are considerably more, usually between $600 to
$1,000, but you receive a lot more in services and it is paid for by
insurance, and your follow up visits and optional clinical services
will be paid for by insurance.
NUTRITIONAL
TESTING AND PERSONAL HEALTH EVALUATION
Over the last 30 years people
have come from every state in the U.S.A. and almost every country in
the world to be nutritionally tested at Abunda Life. Although an optional
outpatient clinical service is available, most guests take advantage
of the opportunity to be nutritionally tested while they are here.
This evaluation process is much different from regular medical check
up, because it takes a look at you from a much different point of view.
The nutritional testing process evaluates you for over one hundred possible
nutritional imbalance, needs and deficiencies.
Your evaluation is based on over 40 different distinct chemical screenings
of urine, hair and saliva. Unlike most medical evaluations you have
a tremendous input into the testing process. You personally grade yourself
on over 1,000 different bits of information including, body signs, past
and present symptomology, personal and family history, eating patterns,
stresses, moods and feelings based on you the individual and your individual
biochemistry. Some of the many bits of feedback that we get from your
evaluation is your exact body-fat weight to the 1/10 of an ounce. Your
lean tissue weight to the 1/10 of an ounce. Your basil metabolism and
your exact percentage of body-fat.
With this information we can map out a long term program with sensible
goals based on the scientific perimeters of your bone structure, age,
metabolism, height, weight and metabolic type. This is accomplished
through a process called “Bio-Electric Impedance.” The same company
that helped to put man on the moon developed this equipment.
