okay so this is the template for

evaluation we have the symptom up here

which is the effect cause evaluation is

basically connecting the symptom with

the correct real cause to do that you

have to evaluate which means to look

closely at all the information this is

data all the information that’s what

you’re asking questions you’re narrowing

down your investigation so you have to

really study the subject if you’re if

you’re doing like for example if you’re

let’s say the adrenals okay

the adrenal body type you have to know

about the adrenal to be able to evaluate

because you if you have to know about

blood Sugar’s to be able to evaluate you

have to know about a engine before you

can evaluate so this is an essential

like a thing you need to know first but

there’s many many different causes of a

symptom and you’re just going to narrow

down by asking questions and see what

aligns with a potential cause so like I

said if you have fatigue I mean that

could and you start asking like this is

the most important question time when

did it start when do you first notice

you’ve got a fever

when did you start nursing you started

getting late when did you start noticing

at a sleeping problem or fatigue then

it’s going to be after a big clue and

then now that’s going to start to narrow

down your thought process so we can rule

stuff out because let’s say they have

pain in the right lower abdomen area and

then when did it start three days ago

and you thinking well it’s probably

ovary and you’re talking sound the phone

but then you find out when you ask a lot

of questions about the data you find

that this lady is 83 years old so what

does that tell you it tells you that

it’s not going to be the ovary so what

happened when did it start happening

what happened just before what change

occurred with diet stress

what did you do she’s she says I stopped

drinking the cranberry juice okay or or

not I’m sorry she started drinking at

cranberry juice

when this pain started okay in the lower

quadrant and you go okay well what could

now you know that what cranberry affects

the kidneys cranberry dissolves kidney

stones

so which he probably dissolved the most

obvious thing is she dissolve crud from

your kidney and it went down the tube

between your kidney and your bladder and

caused that discomfort so that would be

the most likely thing based on your

annoying information so you’re looking

at the information you’re asking

questions about it you’re seeing how

things relate and you’re just you say

like oh I don’t understand that you keep

asking questions until you get to the

real cost okay that’s the simplicity of

evaluation but again we have to link

cause and effect they’re two different

things and when you get the right cause

you get a lot of cooperation from the

patient it makes sense to them they just

intuitively they go yeah okay that makes

sense depression let’s take depression

for example so one of the things that I

want to add here is defining the problem

okay what do you mean by the depression

tell me what it feels like oh it’s a

heaviness

it’s a fatigue heaviness like oh okay

because what does depression feel like

what is anxiety feel say it anxiety I’d

say what does it describe it to me oh

it’s like a heaviness where in my chest

ah or it’s a I’m depressed I have

fatigue in my eyes I’m like oh well I

already know that tired eyes occur if

you skip protein for breakfast that’s

just the fact that I know

and so the some of the questions I’m

going to find out what do you eat for

breakfast they’re going to say I eat an

English muffin boom now we deal with now

it’s a blood sugar thing you see how I

evaluated that

I’m associating data with a root cause

because I under understand the subject

quite well but if they say I have a

heaviness on my head and and you don’t

get anywhere you say we’ll have you ever

injured your head and they go yes I was

in the hospital for two months with a

head concussion I’m like oh my god

boom that’s it right there so it’s an

old injury I wonder your head and you

thought you depressed or you might say

fine they’re depressed is really it’s

it’s really a tiredness in their whole

body and then you find out that they

don’t sleep at all and then you find out

why keep asking questions you can find

the real cause but again that’s how you

evaluate so you need to get good at

evaluation
