Do you suffer from some of these conditions: Car accident injuries; pain in the neck, shoulders, or lower back; allergies; learning deficiencies; headaches; TMJ; or asthma? If so, consider Neural Organization Technique (N.O.T.), a non-invasive and safe approach. N.O.T. is a treatment protocol utilizing applied kinesiology, chiropractic manipulation, and sacro-occipital and cranial techniques. Every step is demonstrable, repeatable, predictable, and therefore, neurologically correct. N.O.T. is designed to correct conditions, not manage them. When systems are corrected and neurologic integrity is established in the body, the patient can run his body much more efficiently.

Naturopathic DoctorDr. Dennis Godby, MA, ND ~ Your Pathway to Healing Sacramento Naturopathic Medical Center (SNMC) 916-446-2591 • Midtown Sacramento

Dr. Dennis Godby, MA, ND, is a California-licensed primary care naturopathic doctor, the founder of the Sacramento Naturopathic Medical Center, and Sutter-credentialed as a complementary medicine practitioner. ”My goal as a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) and teacher is to assist patients in living a balanced and healthy life. While preventing illness is the ultimate goal, when a person becomes out of balance (“dis-ease”), the first principle of NDs is to utilize the most natural, non-toxic, and the least invasive therapies first (do no harm). Another high priority is finding the underlying cause(s) of illness, not merely treating symptoms, therefore, hundreds of diagnostic and functional medicine labs are available.” Although Dr. Godby treats virtually all medical conditions, he specializes in chronic diseases – including childhood conditions, such as autism and eczema. Through treatment, patients often experience more energy and motivation, increased libido, improved memory, complexion and body composition with less fat and more muscle, clearer thinking, better sleep, less anxiety and moodiness and dependency on over-the-counter medications.

Sherri Wasson, Reiki Master, Intuitive Healer 916-985-0339 • Sacramento & Distance Healing

I use Reiki, Intuition, Intention, and Visualization to draw on the infinite energy source. Since everything is energy, all healing ultimately involves energy. Working directly with energy influences the physical, mental and emotional, as well as the spiritual level. Energy healing is thus by nature “holistic”. If there is an illness or disturbance in the body, mind or emotions, we certainly want to address those levels. Energy healing complements and supports other methods of healing, because it addresses the energy of which the body, mind, and emotions are composed. Mention WellBEing for 50% OFF first session.

A Holistic Approach to Chronic Illnesses, Autism, & other Pervasive Development Disorders. At Life Sources® Inc., since 1999, Dr. Andrea McCreery has been utilizing a Holistic Approach to all Chronic Illnesses including her recent discovery for reversing symptoms for Autism and Asperger’s known as pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs). Her high-powered binocular microscope at 1500xs magnification has a proven track record of success in solving the body’s health mysteries. From the common cold to Mycoplasma infections which are at the root cause of all autoimmune disorders, she simplifies health by explaining, educating, and empowering many discouraged people who have lost their Wellness, Energy, & Vitality. Andrea will guide you step by step, helping to achieve your goals. The analysis of your blood, taken painlessly from the finger, is placed on a slide where results are projected onto a large video monitor, creating your “window to a hidden world”. The client can see exactly what is happening within their immune system contributing to their illness symptoms. These cells are then analyzed and the “dots are connected“. This approach to Targeted Nutritional Intervention takes around an hour; explaining those sometimes vague and inconsistent symptoms. From this evaluation, she puts together an easy to follow Individualized Nutritional Health Plan. Her clients feel very comfortable in her laid back & extremely friendly office.
