Nutrition, Supplement & Herbal Consultations

I understand that vitamin supplements and herbs are considered to be food supplements and are utilized to strengthen and support overall health and wellness. Herbs, along with nonmedical suggestions, can serve as an excellent adjunct to a medical doctor’s treatment but are not a substitute for that treatment. A nutritionist can neither diagnose nor treat disease.  

Risks/Possible side effects/Healing Response

The historical record and modern research indicate that supplements most often used for healthcare have an exceptional safety record. However, adverse events can occur after using any active substance. Side effects can potentially include headaches, skin rashes, and digestive upsets. Such effects generally resolve rapidly, especially if the dosage is reduced or stopped. Allergic reactions are also very rare but have been reported, usually in individuals with contact allergy to specific supplements. Should an adverse reaction occur, I agree to immediately contact my nutritionist. My nutritionist may be able to propose measures to reduce any discomfort or may refer me to a physician.  

Nutrient-Drug Interaction

Although speculative interactions between nutrients and drugs are sometimes publicized, confirmed cases are rare. Nevertheless, some prescribed drugs are very strong and have a narrow range of safe dosages, which makes any interaction more risky. It is the responsibility of the clients to disclose fully any medications currently in use, including other herbs and supplements so that they can be offered informed advice. Clients also are expected to inform their physicians of any herbs or supplements they are using. Any suggestion that the effect of a drug is being altered by simultaneous use of an herb should be reported directly to all health professionals involved. It is also advisable to stop taking supplements and herbs at least 48 hours before surgical operation and in the event of prescribed anticoagulants, antiepileptic drugs, and digoxin until expert advice is received.  

Toxicity We will not expose clients to nutrient doses known to have toxic effects. The organs most vulnerable to any potent substances are the liver and kidneys, and it will be important for the client to divulge any previous history of disease in either of these organs. Supplements should not be used in pregnancy and lactation without expert advice, and if pregnant should stop taking supplements until advice is received.  

No Guarantees

I know that each person is unique and has ultimate responsibility for his or her own healthcare. I acknowledge that I have not received any guarantees or promises as to the results or success that will be obtained from the services provided.    

Infectious Disease Prevention

I understand that infectious diseases are carried through the air, through physical contact, and through bodily fluids. I understand that this wellness company follows universally prescribed precautions and procedures to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.  

Client Responsibilities

I understand that it is my responsibility as a client to inform my practitioner of all aspects of my health and that, as service progresses, to inform my practitioner of changes that occur. I will inform my practitioner if I am pregnant and/or suspect pregnancy at any time. If I experience pain, discomfort, or possible adverse side effects, it is my responsibility to immediately notify my practitioner.  

Medical Treatment

I recognize that Nutrition Consultations are not a substitute for a medical doctor. I understand that if I am currently under a physician’s care, I should continue as long as my physician deems necessary. It is my responsibility to consult with my physician before altering my medications of my medical treatments. I understand that I am free to consult my medical doctor or any other licensed practitioner at any time. I understand also that if there is an emergency, or a worsening of my health condition, or if a new ailment or condition arises, that I should consult a licensed physician.  

License or Certification

I understand that this practitioner is Licensed in the State of Maryland for Nutrition Consultation Services and also that the State of Maryland does not license herbal practitioners, and that any statement of credentials is for information purposes only.
