NBI Testing and Consulting

Don't Guess—Test™

We often get asked, "Who uses the NBITC tests?" The answer is very simple. The people—men, women and children—who eventually find us and take advantage of our direct-to-consumer testing and consulting services are those who have finally taken their health into their own hands.

They usually are forced to do so out of a sense of frustration and desperation. They have seen many doctors, been in and out of clinics, research centers and hospitals; had multiples tests dones, such as CT scans, MRI, PET scans, blood tests, colonoscopies, bronchoscopies, biopsies and other invasive procedures.

Even after all of this "sophisticated" approaches, many people have never been given a satisfactory explanation as to why they are sick, nor have they been given effective treatments. Instead, they have typically been given multiple diagnoses and been on multiple drugs without success. And, in fact, they are getting worse. Basically, most people are tired of suffering.

People frequently sense that the conventional medical approach cannot explain their symptoms and treat them effectively. Instead, they receive convoluted explanations and multiple specialists who can only view them within a very narrow mindset. These doctors evaluate individual symptoms, instead of looking at the entire body.

Standard blood tests and procedures are inadequate, and the medical education of the doctors does not provide them with the intellectual ability to evaluate the underlying biochemistry of the body and to think holistically.

This frustration and pain that people experience is the same that Drs. Neustadt (www.montanaim.com) and PIeczenik (www.stevepieczenik.com) have felt in their own health. Because of their personal experiences and frustrations with the medical system, they developed this new, revolutionary that has successfully helped thousands of people.

Their respective academic and medical training at Harvard, Cornell, MIT, Bastyr, the University of Washington (UW) and the University of California at San Diego (UCSD), placed them in a unique position to create a new paradigm in medicine that not only can cure people, but empower people to take charge of their own lives.

Drs. Neustadt and Pieczenik created the following postulates to explain this approach.

Neustadt-Pieczenik Postulates:

Genetics explains no more than 25% of disease expression.
The Law of Parsimony should be strictly followed in clinical diagnoses; that is, use the simplest explanation to describe the suite of presenting symptoms.
Symptoms and diseases are biochemical in nature, not primarily genetic, which can be altered by dietary, lifestyle and environmental factors.
Biochemistry is simply how the body uses amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and fats to do its job, and how infections, environmental toxins (e.g., toxic metals, solvents), and allergies interfere with optimal biochemical function to cause symptoms and diseases.
If a person was not sick last year or last month, and he or she is now, then something’s changed in his or her biochemistry.
Through sophisticated functional biochemical testing, the underlying causes of multiple symptoms and diseases can be analyzed simultaneously and quickly corrected to promote health.s
Modifications of biochemical functioning using targeted therapies require clinicians be specifically trained to properly conceptualize, interpret and apply this multivariate approach to dynamic physiological processes.
This approach can be curative.

The following excerpt from our most comprehensive panel, the MetaCT 400 test, is Dr. Pieczenik's actual test results. He had been suffering from adult-onset asthma, and after taking the test and following Dr. Neustadt's recommendations, Dr. Pieczenik's asthma completely resolved. Three years later Dr. Pieczenik still has not asthma symptoms, breathes normally and is not taking any asthma medications. Read Dr. Pieczenik's full case and other cases.

Elevated tyrosine, indicating a block in the pathway converting tyrosine to dopamine and epinephrine

Low chromium and copper. Chromium is required for proper blood sugar regulation and copper is required to convert dopamine to epinephrine.

Decreased vanilmandelate, indicating low epinephrine.

Elevated insulin, indicating insulin resistance (pre-diabetes)

Elevated lactate, indicating difficulty burning sugars (carbohydrates) for energy

Elevated alpha-ketoisovalerate, indicating functional B-complex vitamin insufficiency

Elevated indican, indicating intestinal bacterial infection

Elevated D-Arabinitol, indicating intestinal fungal infection

Testimonials

“You can imagine my surprise when I received the reports from my MetaCT 400 lab study and discovered I was severely allergic to dairy products, egg yolks, egg whites, and peanuts. So prior to my scheduled consultation, I immediately stopped consuming these items and foods which contained these ingredients. Three days later, I felt like a new person. Most of the chronic muscle, bone, and joint aches I have been having for over 10 years went away. I felt stronger, lighter on my feet, and for the first time I tired out my children while playing with them outside.

"The 'restless leg' condition I have been having at night stopped too. The slight depression I felt was lifted as well. I now sleep better, deeper, and wake up more refreshed. I have been to sleep studies and have seen many doctors, and nothing has helped as immediately and as noticeably as the removal of these foods from my diet.

“I would have considered the food allergy results alone a complete and overwhelming success. However, the lab study also identified excessive deficiencies in my amino acids, omega fatty acids, vitamin D, essential minerals, and elevated levels of free radical damage. A replenishment program was tailored around my requirements and allergies. There is so much to learn, but Dr. Neustadt and his staff make the process simple and easy to understand. Although there are some eating and exercise habits I must change, I look forward to the many added benefit this holistic approach to health care has to offer.”

Over the last four years I have seen nine medical doctors seeking help for my complicated condition. I have been suffering with severe gastroesophageal reflux (GERD). I had also been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome for which there is no “known” cure (at least that is what conventional medical doctors will tell you). I would get severely and painfully bloated every time I ate and I had diarrhea very frequently. I had a life changing operation called a Nissen Fundoplication to help control my GERD symptoms.

The operation pushed me deeper into a state of ill health. Over the last two years the four MD’s that I had been seeing continued to tell me that I was healthy even though I had lost almost 80 lbs. in this time. The total cost of my medical care exceeded $40,000.00 and for all of this cost I received basically no benefit.

For about a tenth of the cost of conventional treatments, the MetaCT 400 test and program reduced my IBS symptoms by over 90%. I no longer get bloated when I eat. I have not had diarrhea in almost two months. I no longer have hemorrhoids. On top of that he helped me gain seventeen pounds in six weeks! I had been continually losing weight for two years. I am excited to see how much my health will continue to improve over the next few months.

I am so grateful for the work Drs. Neustadt and Pieczenik are doing. Their tests and programs are worth every dollar that you will spend. I have been given my life back.”

In September 2006, I developed a condition that appeared to be a seizure disorder. After undergoing a series of tests, I was prescribed medications to make the seizures stop, but the side effects of those medications caused me to lose my memory, sometimes for several days at a time. Eventually, after even further testing, doctors concluded it was Pseudo Seizure Disorder. I was told it was a psychological issue and not at all neurological or medical in nature.

Several months went by, and the symptoms worsened, to the point where I could barely walk, talk, or function at all...I went through extensive testing on a cellular level to see what was really going on in my body...I was amazed that by day three of taking the nutritional supplements on my program, my symptoms were gone. Since then, I have seen many other benefits to my health from making these changes, including losing 30 lbs. Now that my diet is better, my food cravings are mostly gone and my mental and emotional states have also improved. I strongly recommend anyone with medical issues uncover what is going on at a cellular level. Thank you, Drs. Neustadt and Pieczenik, for your compassion and help with getting me on a road to health.”
