Dr. Anthony J. Pacelli has just returned from completing the last of a nine-month clinical training program in Nutrition Response Tasting^s’TM. 

Dr. Pacelli, one of only 90 health practitioners who completed this extensive training program conducted in Clearwater, Florida has studied advanced breakthroughs in all aspects of nutrition from the analysis of specific patient nutritional deficiencies to successful continued patient care. 

“I found the training to be invaluable as an upgrade of my nutritional clinical skills and abilities to help those who have had or are having physical difficulties which may well have a nutritionally-related cause”, Dr. Pacelli related. “With the advanced skills that I now have, difficulties experienced by my patients, such as migraines or fibromyalgia and  fatigue are regularly improving and it is very gratifying”, he added.  One of Dr. Pacelli’s patients’, a 38 year old mother, remarked; “I was bothered by fibromyalgia and tried various approaches but none fully handled my condition until now. I have already seen improvements just in the last week”, she concluded.  

Nutrition Response Testing is practiced by thousands of health practitioners of all types and specialties across the United States including Osteopaths, MD’s, Chiropractors, Dentists and Acupuncturists. Nutrition Response Testing was developed by Dr. Freddie Ulan & Dr. Lester Bryman, both Doctors of Chiropractic and Certified Clinical Nutritionist after 80 years of combined clinical experience in their highly successful practice in upstate New York. 

According to Dr. Pacelli, the technique, “Nutrition Response Testing is a non-invasive method of analyzing the body to determine the actual root causes of health conditions.  It enables the practitioner to determine the exact patient nutritional deficiency or imbalance so it can be corrected. And that pinpointed deficiency is usually at the root cause of the problem”, he stated.  “Nutrition Response Testing is quick, non-invasive, inexpensive and painless”, he added.

Nutrition Response Testing practitioners also provide nutritional dietary advice.“Depending on your individual situation, Dr. Pacelli indicates, “we might also require that a patient make some specific changes in their eating habits and their routines in order to bring about the best possible results. Many people we see in our practice have eaten themselves into their current state of ill-health, to one degree or another.  The deficiencies or imbalances lead to a breakdown in resistance or immunity and a loss of the ability to cope with environmental stresses (chemical, bacterial or otherwise). The good news is that it is possible to reverse the process.  And my patients are very appreciative of the fact that we have a very effective system of monitoring their progress at each visit. Through our analysis we determine the exact nutrients needed to supplement the patient’s diet in order to bring about improved health,” he concluded.

Dr. Anthony J. Pacelli is an energetic and enthusiastic advocate of the powerful natural healing benefits of Chiropractic, Oriental Medicine, Nutrition, Exercise, Positive Thinking and other forms of the natural healing arts.  His enthusiasm for Chiropractic care came naturally when his father, Dr. Victor A. Pacelli, was a successful chiropractic pioneer practicing on the east coast for over thirty-one years. His desire to follow in his father's footsteps and began developing at an early age as he witnessed the effectiveness of Chiropractic care and many of the Natural Healing Arts being performed.

Gonstead, Dr. Pacelli strongly desired to study under this great physician.  He spent three years under Dr. Gonstead's postgraduate program at the Gonstead Clinic in Mt.

Dr. Pacelli continued to pursue his interest in nutrition by seeking out the internationally- known biophysicist and author, Dr. Carey A. Reams.  The two doctors conducted clinical research together and studied the response of body chemistry in relation to energy absorbed from food. 

When Dr. Pacelli was at Palmer College, he envisioned developing a preventative Health Care Facility that would provide a variety of complementary health care services.  In 1988 he established the Pacelli Chiropractic & Health Potential Complex in Lafayette, Indiana and his vision began to take shape.
