How long do you have to stay on the vitamin?
Dr. Springer: In each case where a vitamin is needed, there is a general expected period of time that vitamin should be given. If you are not under a doctor’s care, you should see a trained physician who can assist you in determining which vitamins to take and for how long. Too much of a particular nutrient can cause a shortage of others. We use the analysis of a comprehensive blood test, symptom questionnaire, family history and clinical impression of our examination findings to zero in on the correct nutrition for each individual. We determine which additional tests may be necessary to reveal a functional problem when symptoms point to a cause that is not found with conventional tests.

What does SOT stand for?
SOT stands for Sacro Occipital Technique (or Technic). "Sacro" means "related to, or associated with," the sacrum. The sacrum is the foundation for the spine. The sacrum is often called the tail bone though this is not exactly correct. "Occipital" means "related to or associated with the occiput. Occiput means "the back of the head". So, SOT is a method of normalizing the relationship between the foundation of the spine and the top of the spine. It is this relationship and how these two bones get along with one another, that has been proven to be so important in the normal functioning of the brain and spinal cord.
The word "Technic" is another way of spelling "technique". Either word means "the way to get the job done, scientifically and in a short period of time".
What is Sacro Occipital Technique?
SOT and SOT Cranial is a method of chiropractic care that identifies the cause of your symptoms. SOT practitioners understand the mechanics and neurology of the body in an organized and practical way.

spinal,
cranial, and
organ-related problems.
The SOT practitioner determines the cause of your problems and corrects it using very specific and effective methods. SOT doctors integrate large amounts of information, using several different techniques and approaches simultaneously, as SOT integrates easily and seamlessly with other chiropractic systems.
SOT patients are also routinely given guidance regarding home care, diet, and nutrition.
Patients seeing SOT practitioners can relax and know that they are in the best hands in chiropractic. SOT doctors understand your problems and use a systematic and comprehensive approach to chiropractic care.
In a nutshell, SOT practitioners are thinking chiropractors willing and able to deliver quality care.
The word "Technic" is another way of spelling "technique". Either word means "the way to get the job done, scientifically and in a short period of time".
What is homeopathy?
Dr.Springer: Homeopathy is a system of medicine. It was first given practical application by Samuel Hahnemann of Leipzig, Germany, in the early 19th cent. And was designated homeopathy to distinguish it from the established school of medicine which he called allopathy. It had been observed that quinine given to a healthy person causes the same symptoms that malaria does in a person suffering from that disease; therefore quinine became the preferred treatment in malaria. When a drug was found to produce the same symptoms, as did a certain disease, it was then used in small doses in treatment of that disease. This is thought to be nonsense by many scientists around the world U.S. medical schools do not presently emphasize the homeopathic approach, although it has become popular among some physicians in European and Asian nations. . But, it has been proven thousands of times over the past 200 years that, in fact, it has been extremely useful in helping many medical conditions resolve. The beautiful thing about homeopathy is that the remedies are non-toxic at the levels given and, therefore, are safe for any age group.

What comprises an examination using Applied Kinesiology?
The process begins with a detailed questioning of the patient to uncover clues as to what may be going on. Generally, problems can be related to chemical imbalances, structural imbalances or mental stress or any combination of the above. After this general examination procedures are used to assess the health of the patient. For example, changes in blood pressure from lying to sitting to standing can indicate imbalances in the body. This is followed with specific examination procedures used by the practitioner. For example, in a musculoskeletal problem, skin sensitivity, knee reflex or balancing can help to uncover problems. After these tests are performed, an evaluation of the strength of the muscles is performed. There are many causes of muscular weakness and different procedures may be used to uncover the cause.
