This article provides some suggestions on taking your first serving of a nutritional supplement. It focuses on starting an Aloe-Vera and Sea Vegetable supplement but can be applied to starting a variety of liquid nutritional supplements. It shows you how to get the best and the most from every subsequent serving you take.
The Health Evaluation Questionnaire takes about two minutes to complete and can be found at:
Health Evaluation Questionnaire From the results of the questionnaire you will determine your health index. Your health index can provide you with an objective view of your health and help you decide if you should add a nutritional supplement to your diet. The results you get today can be compared to future results by completing the questionnaire again in four weeks. You can use the comparison of the two tests to evaluate and determine your health improvement and what adjustments you can make to your diet or nutritional supplement intake to further improve your health. You may also find it useful to take the results of the questionnaire directly to your health care practitioner or physician.
Calculating Your Health Index
Your Health Index is a numerical value that helps you assess your current state of health based on your personal responses to the questionnaire. The LOWER the Health Index number the healthier you probably are. The HIGHER the Health Index number the more support your body needs in order to heal.
The LOWEST (and most healthy) score indicator possible is 30. The HIGHEST (and least healthy) score indicator possible is 150. A small drop in the Health Index score is significant so as you retake the questionnaire over time, note those subtle but significant and positive changes in your health.
Health improves in cycles. Because health improves in cycles, your Health Index score will increase and decrease with those cycles. An increase may be due to the flu or a minor injury. Exercising, taking a nutritional supplement, and a healthy diet require time to work. A little bit of each every day will provide better benefits to you and your body than starting and stopping.
Add up the numbers you circled for questions 1 through 30.
My Health Index is: ____________________
If you circled only 1’s and 2’s, you feel you are probably in very good health. A Maintenance Dose (2-4 ounces per day) of nutritional supplements is probably all you need at this time.
If you circled any 3’s but no 4’s or 5’s you feel your health is beginning to show signs of some trouble. Begin with a Loading Dose of your nutritional supplement (2-4 ounces, 2 to 3 times per day for one week) then continue with your Maintenance Dose (2-4 ounces per day) thereafter. Retake the questionnaire in two weeks.
If you circled any 4’s you feel your health needs help right away. Begin with a Loading Dose of 1-2 ounces, 3-4 times per day. Spread the dose throughout the day for maximum effect. You would be consuming 3 to 8 ounces per day during this special 30-day Loading period. After a month, retake the questionnaire.
If you circled any 5’s you feel your body may need a more aggressive approach to health improvement. Begin with a Loading Dose of 5-8 ounces per day. Spread the dose throughout the day for maximum effect. It would be best to divide the daily amount into 1 ounce servings and spread them evenly throughout the day. After a month, retake the questionnaire.
As your symptoms and health improve, your Health Index should go down. Every time you take the test, use the guidelines above for how much of your nutritional supplement to take.
Remember to take the Health Evaluation Questionnaire to determine your health index for the recommend amount of your nutritional supplement. Hold it under your tongue for maximum absorption and take it each day as recommended. The benefits to you from any nutritional supplement will come over time. Follow these guidelines and enjoy your Way to Wellness.
