Dr. Dick Versendaal, Contact Reflex Analysis's Founder

Over the past four decades Dr. Dick Versendaal has researched, developed and refined the technique known as Contact Reflex Analysis. Contact Reflex Analysis, also known as CRA, is a simple, safe, natural method of analyzing the body's structural, physical and nutritional needs. A deficiency in any of these areas could cause or contribute to various acute or chronic health problems.

CRA is not a method of diagnosis. It is a means by which a doctor uses the body's reflexes to accurately determine the root cause of a health problem. CRA is also a marvelous preventative technique, used to find a problem before it becomes a full-blown health issue.

Many times the symptoms of a health problem are treated while the actual source of the problem continues to go undetected. For example, headaches are treated with aspirin, coughs are treated with cough medicine. If these symptoms persist, expensive tests are run and stronger medication is prescribed. But the question still remains. What's causing the headache? What's causing the cough?

There is hope. CRA is different. CRA quickly and accurately uncovers the root of the health problem and provides the doctor with answers for correcting it.

A great degree of accuracy is possible with CRA. It will even uncover deficiencies at a sub-clinical level; that is when the problem is so tiny that the person may not be aware of it, and many modern methods of testing cannot detect it.

Until CRA, the methods for determining the body's structural, physical and nutritional needs were costly, time consuming and at times frightening. The only method of determining a nutritional need was by a person's symptoms, expensive lab work and the doctor's knowledge of biochemistry, physiology, anatomy and nutrition. An educated guess was made.

With CRA, the doctor is also able to prove to the patient that the source of the problem has been located, and that the proper nutritional support and/or structural procedure has been given.

CRA was researched and developed by Dr. Versendaal, along with an M.D., a clinical nutritionist, a dentist and a hematologist during the past four decades. CRA has been taught in continuing education seminars across the United States to all health professionals for over 25 years. There are thousands of health professionals all across the country who are proficient in CRA. To locate a practitioner in your area go to this page.
