ABOUT THE CIMA SYSTEM?
What the Cima System can do…
The nutritional aspect of the Cima System was a program developed back in 1980.
Nutrition has always been our passion.
3 questions the Cima System answers are
1 – What are the perfect foods for that specific patient, remember one man’s food is another mans poison
2 – Was my patient able to digest, assimilate, metabolize and remove toxic waste from their body?
3 – Which supplements are needed to improve the function of the patient?
Answering these three questions are vital to improving the health of any patient.
The perfect diagnostic method used today is a biochemical blood chemistry analysis that all doctors use.
Traditional medicine uses blood chemistry analysis to diagnose disease and prescribe medication appropriately.
The Cima System took the same blood tests, narrowed down the pathological reference ranges from the laboratories and by using mean median formulas created what we called functional physiologic ranges. By creating functional physiologic ranges we can determine which organs or glands would be malfunctioning before the disease state. Then by using the right supplementation and diet the body could correct the underlying causes and prevent heart disease, diabetes, thyroid malfunction, gallbladder problems, etc. You get the picture. We could also treat patients that already had the diseases and get success with them as well. Medications could be reduced or eventually eliminated.
The excitement comes on follow-up blood tests when you and the patient see improved in their biochemistry.
It is amazing how you will feel when you see diabetics come off their medications, or blood pressure medication etc.
Not only that but your rational is backed up by sound evidence and explanations.
So the purpose of Biochemical blood chemistry is to determine how the endocrine system, which controls digestion, metabolism, assimilation, detoxification, growth and repair, is functioning. Then once determined we can use the appropriate nutritional protocol including diet and nutraceuticals to balance the endocrine system thereby increasing a patient’s metabolic function, health, and vitality.

Our Mission and Purpose
Our purpose is to treat and educate patients on the triune of health: physical, chemical, and mental/emotions. Our mission is to improve the health of this great nation one patient at a time.
As he was in his last year of school, he saw a quote from Thomas Edison about the doctor of the future:
The doctor of the future will give no medication but will interest his patients in diet, care of the human frame, and the cause and prevention of disease.”
Although the definition was near perfect, there was no how-to manual that explained how the doctor was going to treat his patients.
From that day forward, he was hooked and wanted to become the doctor of the future. Dr. Cima devoted his life to health and wellness. Then the most interesting thing happened to him. He would ask a question and always received the answer. It was like God was waiting for him to ask the right question, and then he would receive the right answer. Maybe not the next day or the next year, or the next decade but when the time was right the answer came. Forty years later from all the answers that he received he created a health and wellness program that lives up to Mr. Edison’s vision of the doctor of the future.
Since then, he has authored many books and taught, educated and trained many doctors and has also completed extensive postgraduate education, in:
- Nutrition Blood Chemistry Analysis
- Exercise Physiology/Kinesiology
- Neuroendocrinology
- Craniopathy
- Organ and Glandular Therapy
- Neuromuscular Re-education
- Extremity Technique
