Some symptoms of nutritional deficiencies that relate to the torso:

Many of the 392 questions of the nutritional analysis relate to the torso. These are a few examples of the imbalances that may be indicated. Note that having one or two symptoms of an imbalance does not mean that you have an imbalance in that area. Everyone has a few symptoms -- that is normal. What is important is to determine whether you have more symptoms in any area than is normal for you, in which case a deficiency is likely iindicated. Each person has a different "normal" level of symptoms -- a baseline --and this is calculated by analyzing your answers to the whole questionnaire.

For instance, chest pains after exercise or emotional stress could indicate Circulation problems (16 other symptoms). General back pain could be a sign (among other things) of Vitamin B-12 deficiency (23 other symptoms) while mid-back pain could indicate Magnesium imbalance (28 other symptoms) and low back pain could indicate a Vitamin C (21 other symptoms) or Silicon imbalance (15 other symptoms).

If you have a lot of muscle cramps, it may indicate low levels of certain minerals such as Magnesium (28 other symptoms), etc. -- or it may indicate low levels of certain B vitamins, such as Pantothenic Acid (14 other symptoms) -- which you should never take on its own, unless a doctor prescribes it! If your muscles are stiff and sore in the morning and need to be limbered up, it could be a sign of Thyroid imbalance (55 other symptoms). If you are especially susceptible to athletic injuries you may need more Magnesium (28 other symptoms) or it could be a sign of Thyroid imbalance (55 other symptoms).

If you have a very full, sluggish feeling after eating a heavy meal you may just have eaten too much, or it could indicate an Underactive Stomach (8 other symptoms) or low levels of digestive enzymes. Stomach or bowel pain after eating may also be a sign of Low Digestive Enzymes (18 other symptoms). A burning sensation in your stomach doesn't always indicate too much stomach acid -- it could also be a sign of too little stomach acid, but there is a simple test you can do at home to determine which it is. If you have trouble digesting meat or other proteins you may be low in Vitamin B-6 (19 other symptoms) or Low Digestive Enzymes (18 other symptoms) and/or you may have an Underactive Thyroid (40 other symptoms). Excessive cravings for sugar and/or starches could indicate low levels of Chromium (6 other symptoms) or could indicate Candidiasis (24 other symptoms) or Blood Sugar imbalances (9 other symptoms). If you get irritable when you go too long between meals you may have a Blood Sugar imbalance (9 other symptoms) or, perhaps, Candidiasis (24 other symptoms).

If you have alternating diarrhea and constipation, very hard and painful bowel movements or food particles in your stool it may indicate a sluggish Colon (6 other symptoms), Low Digestive Enzymes (18 other symptoms) or food Allergies (33 other symptoms), etc. If greasy, fatty foods cause you to have headaches and/or nausea, or if most foods seem to give you gas or bloating, then you might have to pay more attention to your Liver (15 other symptoms).

Acne could be related to low Essential Fatty Acid (17 other symptoms) levels or a Vitamin A deficiency (18 other symptoms). A sallow complexion sometimes indicates a Thyroid imbalance (55 other symptoms). Eczema or psoriasis could be related to Allergies (33 other symptoms) or Low Digestive Enzymes (18 other symptoms).

Feeling less like having sex than you used to could be as a result of an Underactive Thyroid (40 other symptoms), a Reproductive Organ imbalance (10 other symptoms), a Vitamin E imbalance (14 other symptoms), etc.

There are many other questions in the analysis questionnaire that explore your possible symptoms in detail. On this page are just a few examples of the possible nutritional imbalances that relate to symptoms of the torso. Remember that having one or two symptoms does not necessarily mean that you have any of the associated nutritional imbalances. Rather, it is first necessary (via a complete analysis) to inventory all of your body's symptoms in order to establish a baseline symptom level that is normal for you -- because everyone has a different "normal" level of symptoms. Once that is done, I take into account any additional information that you might have sent me (via the comment boxes in the questionnaire) and compare your level of symptoms occurring in any particular area with your baseline to determine where deficiencies/imbalances should be declared. I next prepare your chart, analysis and recommendations. They reflect the relative seriousness of your imbalances, and give you specific help correcting them -- via diet and/or supplements (if necessary).

As well, your recommendations will contain detailed nutritional advice should you require help to lose weight, quit smoking, fight depression, etc.
