I have to ask this question, Keny: Are you a student working on a project?

If you are, I will help you all I can by advising and giving you direction, but I will not write a paper for you. However, after helping you generate your own product, I will then edit it and help you revise it if necessary.

If you ask simply out of intellectual curosity, my approach will be somewhat different.

Let me know which it is, and we'll take it from there.

Reply to Teaching Doc's Post: I can not get mad because every question could be questionable as to what will it be used for. But no, I’m not a lazy med-student trying to get over. I actually will use the information for personal reasons. I'm a trainer in would like to know new and simpler ways to check my clients eating habits to create specific diets plans for each individual client. For a little of advice it is probably best to always answer each consumer’s answer a way that they may not be able to manipulated or use it for school projects; this email questions my integrity and question your professionalism. Please pass the question on if this is not your area of expertise.

Thank you

Keny, I appreciate your feedback and candor.

First, I have considerable experience with exercise physiology, but in regard to diet and nutrition, my only depth is with diabetics, postoperative patients, and those with renal failure.

To the best of my knowledge, JA has neither trainers, physical therapists, dieticians, nor nurtritionists on the roster. Had we, I would have long ago beeen consulting with them.

Nevertheless, I plan to direct you to experts outside JA. Before we go in that direction, I should know about you: your age, your background, your training, the nature of your practice, the range of clients with whom you work, their skills, and anything else you can addd. Do you have a resume? A web site? Your e-mail address?

I serve on the Faculty and on the Board of the RMP Institute of Biomechanics. Our people work with the human performance folks at indiana University and Ball State University. Although I have not had direct contact to this point, it is appropriate because we are initiating talks concerning a joint asociates degree.

In regard to my questions of you initally, we are deluged with requests to do research and actually write reports. I attempt to winnow and hold on to the ones who willing to do the work under my guidance. If I questioned your integrity, so be it. My ethics and professionalism are the highest. If you're legitimate, it's your choice, work with me or not.

At my age and with my resourcess, I for one do not sit here for the money. I'm an educator. I educate our clients and our experts. That's my job. No amount of money can replace satisfaction.

Reply to Teaching Doc's Post: JUST ANSWER… Sorry this is my first time trying this and it is not what I expected. I am sure that you are a very smart and well respected educator, but this is not what I was looking for. Too much information for me to give to a strange and with the internet, and a good old cup of coffee, I can find the answer myself without the enormous ego and the countless questions. Ironically, I think you asked more questions than I did. I’m a young innovator, and in this day and age, everyone is a professional researcher with the interest in all. I just thought I could save a couple of minutes while trying something new. Time has permitted and quiet frankly I’m not interested in giving personal information out or applying for a job. It’s the same reason why you want more information in which I refuse to give it.

Thank you and God Bless

Keny, I see that you've not had an aswer to either your relist or my call for assistance.

Perhaps I've skipped a basic step in my thinking.

A good, modern laboratory should be able to assay blood, tissue, and/or body fluid to determine the concentration of any element/compound, organic or inorganic, in which you're interested. Methods from ion-specific electrodes to gas chromatography to mass spectrometry and many others.

In my former life I ran a hypertension research laboratory supported by NIH. We did these things, but today's operations must be far more capable.

In order to obtain the samples, you will need a clinical tie-in. If you had come to me years ago, I would have found a graduate student (or MD post-doc research fellow) to work with you setting up a proper program. He/she would get to share the credit and your objective would be achieved.

If this is more in line with your objective than my previous suggestions and is something you want to run with, let me know. We'll then locate a facility and a sponsor.



What I tell you is what I teach. I'm here to help improve your quality of life, and I'll work with you as long as necessary to help you.

Reply to Teaching Doc's Post: This is more in the lines into what kind of answer I was looking for... if you could elaborate that would be great but this is pretty much the answer: questionnaires, saliva, urine samples and blood cultivation (exactions).
