Member Handbook

Rapha Support Services is a matrix of

services providing alternative options

for health care that addresses the

whole person - spirit, soul, and body.

Services are available to the public.

Families, churches, and businesses

have opportunity to become an RSS

member for reduced rates on services.

Every effort is made to serve all re-

quests through a benevolence fund.

One-third of all donations goes into the

benevolence fund.

Donations are tax-deductible. RSS is a

501c(3) non-profit organization that is

a service organization reaching out to

meet the needs in our community.

Rapha Support Services are not meant to substitute for the advice of your own physician or other professional. Services are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. We do not offer or practice medi-cal procedures or diagnose diseases or treat medical conditions. We support people with wellness care as appropriate for whatever challenges they are facing.

1. Nutritional Evaluations

The Compass Bio-feedback Analysis sends a

sequence of stimuli to monitor the response of

76 different bio-markers such as digestion,

immune, kidney, etc. The report shows the

number bio-markers out of balance with herbal

recommendations for restoring balance.

A Naturopathic Evaluation is comprised of a

“read” of the tongue, fingernails, eyes, and

conducting a technique called response

testing. This is a very informative investigative

process.

An Eyeology Assessment is a detail photo-

graphic analysis of the iris and sclera of the

eyes (Iridology and sclerology). A proven

method showing current conditions and future

weaknesses.

2. Weight Loss Programs

The hCG program - lose up to 1 lb/of fat per

day homeopathic drops and customized diet.

Those on this program should schedule an ap-

pointment to assess their readiness for this

highly successful program.

The Irvingia Program provides a combination

of natural compounds that combat fat accumu-

lation via eight distinct mechanisms.

Other non-stimulant products are available

along with evaluation of diet, thyroid, liver, and

adrenal function.

3. Detoxification

Customized protocols using diet, herbs, and nutrition

Infrared sauna (30 minute session) - The aver-

age person’s sweat is 3% toxins and 97% wa-

ter. In a Sunlight Infrared Sauna the sweat is

20% toxins.

Ionic detoxification works by generating posi-

tively charged ions in the body that attach to

negatively charged toxins. This neutralizes the

toxins and enables their removal by osmosis

through the pores of the feet in a foot bath.

This is a 30 minute painless session. Bring a

book to read.

Homeopathic remedies are available for gen-

tle cleansing.

4. Thermal Imaging Services is an early detection

system that provides an accurate assessment of

inflammation. Primarily used for breast screening

and early detection of abnormal tissue.

6. Laboratory Assessments

Hair analysis - A hair tissue mineral analysis is

a screening test for the level of 20 minerals

and toxic metals. Since the blood is continu-

ally flowing across the hair follicle, the miner-

als levels in the hair may reflect body tissue

levels. A hair tissue mineral analysis can pro-

vide pertinent information about your meta-

bolic rate, energy levels, sugar and carbohy-

drate tolerance, stage of stress, immune sys-

tem, and glandular activity.

Assistance can be provided for understanding

a standard blood test from a nutritional per-

spective. A standard blood panel workup is

available without a doctor’s order.

Hormone testing via saliva is more accurate

than a blood test. Saliva collection is simple,

non-invasive, and can be performed in the pri-

vacy of your home. The kit comes with a pre-

paid shipping envelope to facilitate shipping to

the lab. The results are sent to the referring

practitioner.

7. Pain Management

Experience pain remediation and manage-ment with a Wellness Pro TENS unit. The de-vice also provides innervation for nerve and circulation issues.

Magnetic Pulsar - cellular magnetic harmoniz-ing for pain and restoring of damaged tissue.

PRAYER SUPPORT

“Beloved, I wish above all things that you may

prosper and be in health, even as thy soul pros-

pers.” (3 John 1:2)

John's prayer here for his friend was that he would

be successful and be in good health. The word of

God brought forth in prayer is powerful not just to

our spirit but to our whole being.

The book of Proverbs puts it this way “For they (the

words of God) are life unto those that find them and

health to all their flesh.” (Proverbs 4:22)

Simply put, prayer is a proven prescription! It's good

for what ails you.

If you would like to meet with a prayer team for

prayer over a particular matter, please call the office

at 832-5772 to schedule an appointment. There is

no charge, but a love offering to the ministry is ap-

preciated.

There are several intercessory prayer groups that

communicate and pray on a regular basis. Email

your prayer request to info@RaphaServices.org and

it will be forwarded to an intercessory group.
