Smith begins his book by telling a little history of how he got to where he was at the time. Trained as a standard physician, he had grown weary of the standard allopathic procedure: diagnosing illnesses and treating them with medication. He found nutrition to be helpful and when contacted by John Kitkoski, they were able to work together to develop a program to balance the body’s chemistry (alkaline and acidic). Since the sense of smell is connected to the brain, your program makes sense. During this time of research and development, they were able to document that, in fact, blood test results matched one’s ability to monitor one’s health through smell and taste.
Book highlights:
1. Brief history of humanity’s efforts to improve health – Chapter 3
2. What Your Body Is Trying To Tell You: Sample List Of Symptoms And Nutritional Deficiencies. Chapter 5
3. Chemical imbalances have nutritional symptoms and solutions: supplement deficiencies and eliminate food / allergens. Chapter 6
4. They designed a scale from 1 to 10 for patients to rate the smell of the supplements. 1 sweet, smells great to 10 – stinks, disgusting Rating determines whether you need to take that supplement or not. Chapter 8
5. For example: when vitamin A smells good, you should take it. Vitamin A deficiency is related to stress, asthma, fever, frequent colds, bronchitis, inner ear disease, diabetes, cortisone use, smoking, or exposure to pollutants, trauma, cancer, digestive disorders, alcohol ingestion, pregnancy, liver problems.

6. After a brief introduction to chemistry, Smith states that it takes time to balance body chemistry through a balanced diet. Even diets that are considered balanced may not be when you look at their nutritional makeup: vitamins and minerals. Chapter 9
7. In Chapters 10 and 11, Dr. Smith gives guidelines for analyzing blood tests. Sometimes an allopathic doctor will say that this or that result is within the normal range, but there may be an unspoken qualifier for that: you should ask (at least yourself using Smith’s guidance), “Normal range for whom or on what condition? “
8. In Chapter 12, Smith begins with Acne and ends with Warts (some 67 conditions) that contrast the allopathic, natural, and Life Balances solutions.
9. Electrolytes and their essential part in your health are presented in Chapter 13. How do nutrients get where they need to be? “Without electrolytes and the electricity they produce, life is impossible.” Page 143

12. I have no personal experience with the Smith program. However, I have experience and I know people who have used the following program. Karen Neilson was trained with John Kitkoski: http://www.senseablesupplements.com The reader should research both and decide which one works best for you.
