Patent ID: 7534619

Claim:
A method for metabolic typing, comprising: determining a baseline pH level of a person's blood; administering a pure substance with constant and known chemical characteristics as a substance challenge to said person to determine how the substance affects the person's blood pH level; waiting a period of time; redetermining the person's blood pH level post substance challenge; and from any difference in the baseline blood pH level reading and post-challenge blood pH level reading, determining if the person's blood has been made more alkaline or more acidic by the substance challenge in order to determine the person's metabolic type, and wherein when the baseline blood pH level is acidic, the substance challenge acidifies the blood of predominately fast oxidizers and alkalizes the blood of predominately sympathetic types, and wherein when the baseline blood pH level is alkaline, the substance challenge acidifies predominately slow oxidizer and alkalizes the blood of predominately parasympathetic types.
