42. The method of claim 33, wherein the displaying results of the processing comprises:

displaying one or more changes in the nutraceutical usage by the one or more individuals at two or more times and one or more changes in the parameters related to the one or more individuals at two or more times.

43. The method of claim 33, further comprising:

comparing results of the processing of the one or more individuals with one or more substantially similar results obtained for one or more other individuals.

44. The method of claim 43, wherein the comparing results of the processing of the one or more individuals with one or more substantially similar results obtained for one or more other individuals comprises:

comparing one or more values related to the one or more parameters associated with the one or more individuals that are determined at two or more different times to obtain one or more parameter comparisons;

comparing one or more values related to the nutraceutical usage by the one or more individuals at two or more different times to obtain one or more nutraceutical comparisons;

comparing one or more parameter comparisons to the one or more nutraceutical comparisons to obtain one or more parameter-parameter/nutraceutical-nutraceutical comparisons; and

comparing the one or more parameter-parameter/nutraceutical-nutraceutical comparisons to the one or more substantially similar results obtained for the one or more other individuals.

45. The method of claim 43, wherein the comparing results of the processing of the one or more individuals with one or more substantially similar results obtained for one or more other individuals comprises:

comparing one or more values related to the one or more parameters associated with the one or more individuals that are determined at a first time and one or more values related to the nutraceutical usage by the one or more individuals at the first time to obtain one or more parameter-nutraceutical comparisons;

comparing one or more values related to the one or more parameters associated with the one or more individuals that are determined at a second time and one or more values related to the nutraceutical usage by the one or more individuals at the second time to obtain one or more different parameter-nutraceutical comparisons;

comparing one or more parameter-nutraceutical comparisons to the one or more different parameter-nutraceutical comparisons to obtain one or more parameter-nutraceutical/different parameter-nutraceutical comparisons; and

comparing the one or more parameter-nutraceutical/different parameter-nutraceutical comparisons to the one or more substantially similar results obtained for the one or more other individuals.

46. The method of claim 43 further comprising:

displaying results of the comparing.

51. The method of claim 46, wherein the displaying results of the comparing comprises:

displaying the results of the comparing in audio format.
