Business Editors/Health/Medical Writers

HOLLYWOOD, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 18, 2003

metaSCAN, the latest addition to the line of self-test health screening kits provided by York Nutritional Laboratories, is now available to medical professionals and private individuals alike.

Everyone has his or her own unique metabolism, which in turn has its own biochemical, dietary and nutritional requirements. Because of this, no single diet program or therapy will work for every person.

By utilizing a collection of approved and established diagnostic and screening mechanisms, which have been identified as being the most reliable and accurate in the industry, the metaSCAN Metabolic Self-Test is able to perform a complete metabolic analysis of an individual. This analysis takes into account factors such as, and not limited to, an individual's blood type, pH level, body fat, known allergies, and personal health history. Based on this collected information, a personalized dietary and nutritional protocol is designed under the guidance of a licensed physician. Following the recommendations of the metaSCAN has been shown to significantly reduce the nagging health symptoms associated with weight challenges, edema, fatigue, depression, stress, digestive disorders, migraines and food intolerance.

According to Dr. Gary Snyder, co-author of the best selling book 'Burn Fat For Fuel' and physician of over 27 years, "The metaSCAN does what has never been done before. It sets a standard that the rest of the industry will have to measure itself against, and it is doing it with almost 50 years of combined clinical and fitness experience. Every 'program' that is out there is some form of 'one size fits all,' but not the metaSCAN program. It (metaSCAN) and its follow-up program have raised the bar by showing (and demanding) that individuality has to be considered. Weight management is a multi-billion dollar industry that is based on the sound principal that nine out of ten programs ultimately fail. With the metaSCAN, failure is not an option."

Information about the metaSCAN is available from York Nutritional Laboratories, Inc. Please contact John Kernohan at 888/751-3388, [e-mail] or visit http://www.yorkallergyusa.com on the Internet.
