Dr. Nwando Nwanna is a Florida Registered Pharmacist. She graduated from University of Florida in 1998 with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree (Pharm D). Dr. Nwanna practiced as a Clinical Pharmacist in hospital settings for 10 years and then began to work as a retail Community Pharmacist. She decided to start a nutrition practice because of her own personal experience with health issues that were resolved with Nutrition Response Testing® and Designed Clinical Nutrition. She attended training workshops at The Ulan Nutrition Center to be certified as a Nutrition Response Testing practitioner. Dr. Nwanna became a pharmacist because she cares about people and their health. Over the years, she noticed that many of the drugs we offer for treatment of many chronic diseases only suppress symptoms and prevent further progression of the disease. Many of these drugs do not take care of the underlying cause of the disease. These diseases are considered chronic because people have to always be on these medicines to provide symptom relief and avert serious complications, but not the resolution of the disease process. The underlying dysfunction continues, and we keep increasing the dose or add on more drugs to keep symptoms in check and prevent complete organ failure as long as possible. Many of these drugs have side effects that have to be treated with more drugs and it just never ends. She was pleased to learn of a nutrition therapy system that seeks to find the underlying cause of malfunction in the body and provide nutritional support for the body as it heals itself. She was particularly impressed by the specificity of the nutritional remedies. She still practices pharmacy because she is aware that there are acute situations that require drug treatment to avert serious illness or organ failure and not all diseases are helped by nutrition support alone. Most patients, however, should begin a nutrition program that will support the body to heal itself as a long-term strategy and be in a position to wean off the drugs that are no longer needed in consult with their doctor. Nutritional remedies take longer for full effect but considering several years of improper diet and exposure to environmental toxins. However, it does not take too long. Effects can be seen in as little as one week to as long as six weeks.
