title: Introduction to a therapy.
abstract: LCA is a remarkable educational tool to demonstrate to people the effects positive or negative that nutrition has on the body. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words and viewing your own blood on the TV monitor certainly gets one thinking. It can help motivate your patients to participate in healthier lifestyle choices that will dramatically affect their sense of well-being. I also tell my patients that anything they do now to positively affect their lives is like an investment in a retirement fund. As difficult as it may be to make those changes now, or to find the money to save now, the benefits will be reaped much later in life and appreciated more greatly. It is also clear that there is a need for greater research into this topic using RCT approaches and perhaps articles of this type will stimulate further enquiry.
