Homeopathy is based on a process that is called a multi-dilution and succination. Basically, they start with the straight raw products and dilute them.  After being diluted, they go through a process that amplifies the energy signature of the molecule.  This process is repeated over and over until reaching the final dilution.  Each time they dilute, they amplify. This is only speaking of our product, but after the dilution and succination process, the amount of ChiroThin is about 1 ounce of ChiroThin in a 20,000-gallon swimming pool. 

There are very few side effects of homeopathic ChiroThin.  

• Should not be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding.  
• Should not be taken by a person with active cancer.
• Should not be taken by someone who has recently (last 3-4 weeks) experienced acute gallbladder problems.  They may need to modify loading days due to fat intake.

This concept is based on the documented benefits associated with micro-fasting.  When micro-fasting, the hypothalamus is activated, and the person is more apt to tap into the brown fat for energy.  

No, the dosage remains the same.

No, but a patient needs 21 days on the program (minimally) to reset set points.

The purpose of the loading days is to cause your body to increase its metabolism to process the significantly higher caloric and fat intake while the ChiroThin takes effect in your body. Homeopathic ChiroThin will take 24-36 hours to kick in. When the patient switches to the losing phase the ChiroThin nutritional support formula will help keep the metabolism elevated.  

Loading is important and works because of dietary thermogenesis and the dietary thermic effect.  The dietary thermic effect accounts for 10-15% of daily caloric expenditure. Loading increases metabolism (burns more calories) to process/digest the increased food intake. The ingestion of nutrients causes an obligatory increase in heat production by the body due to the energy requirements (metabolic costs) of digestion, absorption, metabolism, etc. Additionally, we encourage loading to be performed with the use of higher consumption of high-fat protein when clinically appropriate. This is because the thermogenic requirements needed for protein digestion are higher than that of carbohydrates. The first rise in metabolic rate that occurs in response to the presence of food is called the cephalic phase and the second is called the postprandial phase. The postprandial phase may last up to 6 hours and is exactly why we want the patient to "graze" during the loading phase as it helps keep the increase sustained and helps prevent the "peaks and valleys" that are experienced when a person eats 1-3 times per day.  Additionally, the number of meals consumed each day also affects dietary thermogenesis since an increase in the number of meals consumed per day causes an increase in the total amount of heat produced each day. We should also not forget Adaptive Thermogenesis which is an additional energy expenditure that is not included in dietary thermogenesis. Adaptive thermogenesis is manifested primarily as an increase in BMR due to environmental stresses, one of which is an alteration in traditional food intake. Additionally, think of this as an added "bonus" for some people... Overconsumption affects thermogenesis. When energy intake (calories) increases above normal levels needed for dietary thermogenesis and regulation of body temperature. The increase in energy loss is a result of less efficient use of food calories and is thought to represent the body's tendency to protect the status quo of energy balance during periods of overconsumption. 

High-calorie grazing all day is imperative because a person who only consumes 3 meals per day will experience peaks and valleys in their metabolism. Grazing prevents these peaks and valleys and as the ChiroThin nutritional support formula may take effect at different times for each patient, it is best for it to take effect at a peak, not during a valley. 

During the losing phase, the patient should consume all food and calories within a 5–6-hour window of time.

No. There is no snacking between meals, whether the foods consumed are free or not.

The ONLY permitted exercise while in the losing phase of ChiroThin is: 1) ChiroBurst Bend which is included at no cost for all ChiroThin Weight Loss Program participants 2) light yoga or 3) light walking for 20 minutes per day.

Strongly encourage the patient to give you 6-weeks with ONLY approved exercise.  If they insist on doing their regular routine, then there are instructions in the instruction book on how to modify their food consumption.BE AWARE...A person who performs moderate to aggressive exercise during the losing phase will dramatically reduce their weight loss and the likelihood of exercise-induced injury skyrockets.  If your patient works out in the evening, they will add the proportional amount of protein to calories burned into their food consumption the day before at both lunch and dinner. If the patient works out in the morning or afternoon, they will add the proportional amount of protein to calories burned into their food consumption the meal before and after exercising. 

The ChiroThin program should only be offered to individuals with a BMI greater than 24 and who do not have any other contraindications to the program.

If changes in diet were the effective factor, then everyone who cleaned their diet would be fine.  Clearly, this is not the case.  The ingredients do what they do.  It is not a matter of opinion.  The HPA is abnormal in most Americans and this is the cause of many health problems.  It has been researched and is not open for discussion. 

They will see results in as little as 4 days.  Most patients will start feeling higher energy, clearer thought, better sleep, fewer symptoms in 7-9 days.  

Once a person has completed maintenance, they should continue to eat a cleaner diet.  Since the setpoints have been changed, the typical person will not gain the weight back very easily unless they return to poor dietary habits.  

The person’s weight will swing dramatically for the first few days.  This is of no concern.  As time goes by, the swings will minimize.  We know the new setpoints for BMR, and BMI are established when the person’s weight is stabilized within 0.5 pounds of itself for 5-7 consecutive days.  This is when a person is good to start a 2nd round if needed.  Globally, the average person loses an additional 2-4 pounds within the 3-5 weeks it takes for the bodyweight to stabilize.

The patient’s appetite will increase when the nutritional support formula is discontinued and exercise starts or resumes.  The patient should listen to their body and eat when hungry but not “overeat” just to fulfill the “numbers”. Just like a patient needs to learn how to make good food choices, they also need to learn when to stop eating.  When the patient’s weight stabilizes, they can add in healthy fats which will add to the maintenance caloric intake.

Yes, but it is not required. During the maintenance phase, patients will continue to eat off the Approved Foods list. If a patient would like to start adding in healthy fats, we suggest they do it gradually. They can begin using small amounts of oils for cooking, or use small amounts of oil in a homemade salad dressing a couple of times a week. Another example of a healthy fat they could introduce would be avocado. 

ChiroThin is not a keto program. 

We have found that much of the information out there is ritualistic and really has no other purpose than to make the person feel that they are going through these steps and therefore the program must really work.  This is simply not the case.  When we developed our system, we wanted to make it effective, yet easy to follow.  For example, there are some programs that say you must shake the bottle at intervals of 7 before taking the drops.  Not true, just shake it.

The patient should stop taking the ChiroThin nutritional support formulation on day 18 and continue to follow the ChiroThin losing phase eating guidelines for days 19, 20, and 21.  On day 22, the patient should transition to the maintenance phase eating guidelines.

This is all very typical.  All people will lose fat from different areas at different rates.

If someone “falls off the wagon” and needs to start over, is it best to start completely over from the loading days? They need to start completely over as if they never did it before, including the loading.  They must be off the drops for 10 days before restarting the process.

If changes in diet were the effective factor, then everyone who cleaned their diet would be fine.  Clearly, this is not the case.  The ingredients do what they do.  It is not a matter of opinion.  The HPA is abnormal in most Americans and this is the cause of many health problems.  It has been researched and is not open for discussion. 

When the weight loss client reaches their goal weight, they move directly into the maintenance phase, stop taking drops and wrap ChiroThin in a brown paper bag and refrigerate.

They will lose weight, but we need to ensure that the ending body weight still falls within healthy BMI for the doctor’s liability. The person will lose a little more slowly.

This is somewhat common as rapid weight loss can temporarily skew the lipid profile in a negative direction. This will self-correct.  It is recommended that the patient not have post-losing phase blood work for 8 weeks after they have completed the losing phase.

If the participant is following the losing phase protocol as instructed, there should be minimal to no loss of muscle mass. If the participant is following the protocols and is losing muscle mass, then they are likely a poor protein digester and should be placed on CN Digestion to aid in their ability to digest, absorb, and utilize the protein that they are consuming.

Yes!

Yes, you can mix vegetables like 2 oz. broccoli and 2 oz. cauliflower.

Yes.  It is detailed in the instruction book.

vegetarians who consume milk and other dairy products can use ½ cup of nonfat cottage cheese or non-fat plain yogurt without sugar. Stevia drops can be used as a sweetener. The vegetarians cannot use customary vegetable protein sources such as rice, wheat etc. because of their starch content. Instead, they can use soy products like soymilk, soybean etc., which are rich protein sources.  They can incorporate non-flavored pea protein powder burgers with quinoa and something to bind it. Tofutti sour cream can serve as a good binder, with olive oil and seasoning mix without sugar. Otherwise, the vegetarians can use olive oil, (or coconut oil), and liquid smoke, seasoning, and organic salsa. Miracle noodles/ magic noodles can be another alternative.

There are some 'mostly' vegetarians who occasionally eat seafood. They can substitute shrimp, lobster, prawns, crawfish or crab meat for the chicken or beef. Because they do not eat the animal products called for in the original diet, strict vegetarians can expect their weight loss to be about half of that of the meat-eaters who follow this diet.

See “Approved Foods List” in the instruction manual and the “tracking journal”.  If it is not on the list, it is not allowed! Anything 0 calories is automatically approved.

Both are ok, but it is recommended to avoid if possible as they are both shown to slow weight loss.

Diet soda is fine, just do not drink 6 a day as the sodium content is high and you will retain extra fluid, thereby decreasing weight loss.  We recommend diet soda that contains stevia; however, other artificial sweeteners are OK.

There are several salad dressing recipes in the recipe book.  The person can also buy no-calorie salad dressing at the store.  Several brands are Three Zeros, Walden Farms, and Hendricks.  Just make sure that they buy the “Zero Calorie” versions.  

Yes, but it must be zero calories.  We recommend the Walden Farms brand. 

See “Approved Foods List” in the instruction manual and the “tracking journal”.  If it is not on the list, it is not allowed!

See “Approved Foods List” in the instruction manual and the “tracking journal”.  If it is not on the list, it is not allowed!

Eggs are not approved.  However, egg whites and egg white substitutes are approved.

Hot smoked fish is approved as it renders the fat out.  Cold smoked fish is not approved as the fat is not rendered out. 

See “Approved Foods List” in the instruction manual and the “tracking journal”.  

Sugar is not approved.

All foods are run through a matrix.  To disclose the methodology would be providing our proprietary information.  It is not about sugar content or calories alone.

The use of protein powder is reserved for vegetarians and vegans ONLY! Any protein powder that contains 0 carbohydrates, such as certain pea protein powders, are approved.  For most, the patient will need to do a double serving to get the correct caloric intake.  A patient needs 160-200 calories of protein at each meal minimally.  Please note we have observed a slight reduction in weight loss in individuals who use protein powders while in the ChiroThin losing phase.   

Powder-based Vitamin E is approved. 

Powder-based Vitamin D is approved.

Powder-based Omega 3 supplements are approved.

Powder-based DHA and EPA supplements are approved.

Yes, if not oil-based.

Patients can use oil-free sunblock.

Approved 

Not approved

Carmex is approved.

Medication adjustments should be deferred to their MD.  Tell patients they may need to have dosages changed as they lose weight.

There are no known side effects of homeopathic ChiroThin formula.  

• Should not be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding.  
• Should not be taken by a person with active cancer. 
• Should not be taken by someone who has recently (last 3-4 weeks) experienced acute gallbladder problems.  They may need to modify loading days due to fat intake. 

Yes

Recommend that they eat the food in cycles… start with 4 oz. of protein. An hour later have them eat 4 oz. of fruit, and 30 minutes after that have them eat 4 oz. of approved vegetables. If your patient cannot eat 4oz of food at a time, have them eat the most oz they can/are allowed to at a time.

Some patients that have been taking SSRI’s or SSNI’s consistently for 5 or more years may experience a slight reduction in program results.

A patient who is taking this for fatigue issues may be able to wind up reducing the intake as ChiroThin functions as a mild adrenal whip and restorer.

The patient may experience a slight reduction in program results. If the patient gets pregnant, they should immediately stop the program. 

Some patients on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may experience a slower weight loss but will still experience good inch loss.

Per a dentist… the cause is most likely plaque or tartar that was already there, and the formula may have darkened it a bit. Use whitening toothpaste and/or tooth whitening system.

Have patients begin Chironutraceutical’s Nature Ease.  Comes from psyllium seed, not just husks.

Pain under or on the tongue is related to the patient either having a past history of Herpes Simplex 1 (fever blisters) or a sensitivity to the citric acid in the formula.  If the patient has a history of fever blisters have them take an additional L-lysine supplement.   

Patients with a rash or hives without nausea is most likely due to detoxing, parasites, or yeast. Have the patient do a cycle of Clean by ChiroNutraceutical.  A cycle is 1 bottle (10 days) followed by 2 weeks off, followed by another bottle (10 days).  The patient should also be on Complete Probiotic and make sure they are drinking enough water.

Absolutely common as the toxins are being released from the fat cells.

Have the patient start taking Electrolyte Essentials by ChiroNutraceutical. 

Protein deficiency can cause hair loss. The good news is it comes back. A small percentage of women could experience mild hair loss if they experienced it during pregnancy. Patients experiencing hair loss while on ChiroThin should up their protein consumption to 5 oz. 2 times per day.

The only change in protocol is to have the patient eat ½ an apple and a piece of melba toast in the morning to help control blood sugar.  

Usually related to low blood sugar or low electrolyte levels.  Have the patient start taking Electrolyte Essentials by ChiroNutraceutical. Make sure the patient is drinking enough water.  See hypoglycemia section.

Very rare side effect. Usually, it will straighten out after 2 weeks.

Due to either hypoglycemia or low electrolytes.Have the patient start taking Electrolyte Essentials by ChiroNutraceutical. If the patient is experiencing lightheadedness before their 1stmeal, have them follow the guidelines in the hypoglycemia section. 

Occurs in approximately 10-15% of female patients.  Most often peri and pre-menopausal but not always.  It is related to estrogen being released from the fat cells that are being broken down and evacuated.

Stop the program immediately and take a pregnancy test. If the pregnancy test is positive, discontinue the program.  If the pregnancy test is negative, resume the program.

Stop the program immediately!

Headaches while on ChiroThin are typically related to detoxification, breaking carbohydrate addiction, and/or low electrolyte levels.Have the patient start taking Electrolyte Essentials by ChiroNutraceutical. A detox-type headache is common in 20% of patients on days 3-4. 

Giving a single solution that fit’s nearly all patients with bowel motility challenges is unrealistic. However, having put well over 200,000 patients through the ChiroThin protocol, we have determined that there are several common denominators amongst these individuals. Constipation while on ChiroThin is typically due to several possible reasons: 1) less food being consumed and less filler in the food.  This equals less waste produced. 2) low electrolyte levels.  3) the patient is not drinking enough water and 4) a significant change in the patient’s dietary habits.  Have the patient start taking Electrolyte Essentials and NatureEase while ensuring that they are consistent with their water intake (100-120 ounces per day), and check and adjust the lumbar spine if indicated. If the above does not help then place the patient on CN Flush.  Magnesium supplementation is also beneficial as well.If the patient has a pre-existing history of constipation, they should be placed on Electrolyte Essentials and NatureEase beginning on Day 3 (Day 1 of Losing)  

This is less than an ideal situation but we recommend giving the patient the choice of continuing or stopping for 10 days and then reloading.  If the patient chooses, tell them that if they do not lose at least 4 pounds in the first week of losing that they will need to stop for 10 days and start over.

Patients with severe cardio issues should only be placed on ChiroThin if they are strict to the program and in consultation with their medical professional.

ChiroThin is safe for Type I and Type II diabetics. Make the following adjustments. Make sure the patient loads with predominantly high-fat protein. It is critical that Type-1 diabetics consume the bread component of the program.

Since the ChiroThin does not contain any hormones, it is safe for women with a HISTORY of breast cancer.  Active cancer is a contra-indication to ChiroThin.

No negative impact on ChiroThin’s results.

There is no contraindication with ChiroThin for female patients with uterine fibroids.  If she is not comfortable, have her check with her OBGYN for an opinion.  As you know the patient must be fully committed for this to get the best results.

The ChiroThin program is fine for a patient who has had a full hysterectomy after being released by the surgeon.

No

2-3 months.  Need to give time for hormones to balance out and normalize. 

Women may have their menstrual cycle start earlier, last slightly longer, and be slightly heavier while on ChiroThin. All have had their menses schedule change but resume the 28-day cycle.  For best weight loss success, do not start the ChiroThin program for a female who is within 5 days of starting her menses or until 3 days after the cycle has ended because of hormone fluctuations related to menses.

There are no adverse complications, but have the patient add 3 oz. of protein in the morning.

No adverse complications.

As long as the surgeon has told them they are released, the program is okay.  This applies to any recent surgery.  Document the patient’s surgical release date in the patient’s file. 

The HPA effect will still be of great benefit and the person will still lose a lot of weight.

Crohn's is not a contraindication.  The losing phase of ChiroThin eliminates many of the foods that are known triggers.  However, foods that are high in fiber, raw vegetables, raw fruits, and red meat/pork can also be triggers for some Crohn’s sufferers.

No contraindications. Have the patient follow the program.  

No contraindications.

No contraindications and no changes in the program are required.

As long as a patient is not actively in treatment, ChiroThin won’t cause any issues. The patient may see a slower weight loss because of the pituitary’s role in the HPAT axis, and the patient should be told right away.

Gallbladder issues within 4-6 weeks is a contraindication.  If it has been more than 4 weeks since their last gallbladder attack, they are cleared to do the program.  However, it is HIGHLY recommended that the person be placed on CN-Gallbladder, CN-Digestion, and CN-Liver from the outset of the program.   If a person has a history of gallbladder issues or has had their gallbladder removed, then they would modify the loading phase by limiting foods that are high in fat. On rare occasions when a person is losing fat rapidly, the liver has a hard time processing and cholesterol can secrete cholesterol into the bile.  This will, on rare occasions, lead to the development of gallstones.   It is also a sign that the person has gallbladder stress.

Technically the patient should be okay to start the program as soon as they are released from care by the surgeon.  That said, it is recommended that the patient wait no less than 6-8 weeks to allow for proper and full healing as well as any inflammation to subside.  Additionally, the patient should be on CN Gallbladder for the rest of their life.

They are OK to do the program as the ChiroThin formula is a homeopathic dose.

There is no iodine and no shellfish used in the ChiroThin formula manufacturing

There should not be any issues as kidney problems are not a contraindication. If a person has very significant impaired kidney function such as requiring dialysis or is on the transplant list, the program is not recommended.

Most patients with HSAs and FSAs will be eligible for reimbursement.  Information on HAS/FSA reimbursement is in the ChiroThin Licensee Google Drive folder.

Yes. ChiroThin is considered a non-reimbursable service.  

Answer provided by contract manufacturer…If the patient has concerns about the alcohol amount they can steam the alcohol out by boiling water and then adding the drops to a small cup with the hot water and the alcohol will evaporate.

It is recommended that you charge the patient for a new bottle.  That said, it is also recommended that you tell the patient upfront on Day 1, that if they spill or lose their bottle that they will be charged for another bottle.  What you charge for the replacement bottle is at your discretion however most ChiroThin offices charge between $150 and $300, depending on what they charge for the program.

Having consulted with multiple rabbis, including an orthodox rabbi, a person who maintains a Kosher lifestyle can undergo the ChiroThin Weight Loss Program even though the product itself is not kosher-certified. Here is what we were told:

An individual who maintains a kosher lifestyle can consume the ChiroThin nutritional support formula without violating the tenants because consumption of non-kosher items is permitted when it is for the purpose of treating a health condition that: 1) is life-threatening or 2) if left untreated, has a high probability of being directly related to the development or progression of a health condition that could potentially be life-threatening. Additionally, they all likened it to a person who "keeps kosher" taking medication for a health condition that is not kosher certified.

Here is the permitted reason for consuming non-kosher products: If one is in danger of losing a limb, mobility, eyesight, suffering the loss of some other function vital to one's future survival, or may be in danger of a new health problem developing that may ultimately shorten one's life, the situation is considered to be life-threatening.
