Sommer's Holistic Health FAQ

  • How did I get so sick?

    Remember when you felt fantastic? When did that change? Gradually or suddenly? Something changed your condition. Some sicknesses develop over time by the choices we make (food choices, lifestyle choices, and sedentary lives). The world is also full of toxins, many of which are unknown to the general public. There are three major causes of disease; The foods we eat, environmental toxins (metals, chemicals, radiation, GMO , emf etc…), infections (hidden viruses, bacteria, parasites, candida, etc…).

  • What makes your clinic different?

    Our unique mission combines ancient wisdom with modern technology to achieve optimal wellness for families. We use technology in a unique way at our clinic to determine the root cause, and it’s natural solution. With Scott’s extensive training in Asian Medicine and his degree in nutrition, kinesiology, and chemistry he is able to find the cause of the problem and match it with a natural solution. We help people avoid drugs and surgery using food as medicine, natural herbal therapy and whole foods supplements.

  • What's the difference between vitamins and whole food supplements?

    There are three different types of supplements that exist in the world. The first type is purely synthetic. You can tell because it doesn’t say something like “apple”, “carrot” or “beet root” in the ingredients list… instead it will say something like “ascorbic acid” (synthetic Vitamin C). The second type of supplements are mixed synthetic with whole foods. This is done mainly as a marketing technique. The last type of supplement is a whole food supplement. You can tell because the concentrations of nutrients are much lower than the average dietary recommendations and they contain real food sources. Our supplements and herbs are pure, the highest quality you can buy.

  • How long does it take before I feel better?

    It really depends on your consistency following the program Scott recommends for you. Many patients feel immediate results. Others with complex hidden viruses, bacteria or yeast can take a little longer. Sometimes it could take a few months to resolve extreme cases. Many serious conditions took years to develop and manifest (auto immune disease, cancer, and serious infections) so with that it takes time to address the root of the problem. The general rule is most patients feel a difference with their program in a couple of weeks, or one to three months.

  • Do I have to follow my program perfectly to feel better?

    Following a personalized wellness program by Scott is like getting an education; the more you put into it the more you get out of it, the more you are committed you are to getting better, the better you will feel. What are you willing to do to feel great on a daily bases?

  • Are there any concerns with these supplements and drugs which I'm taking currently?

    Scott has a degree in Chemistry and is trained in herbal drug interactions which are very minimal if any. Whole food supplements do not negatively interact with prescription drugs. There are more concerns with drug to drug interaction. Our goal is to get you better and let you decide which pharmaceuticals you want to wean off gradually. Fortunately there are very few drug herb interactions. Please bring in any prescriptions you are taking to determine the best program to avoid interactions of any kind. Scott will determine if there is any concern with interactions.

  • What should I do with the drugs I'm on currently and should I stop them?

    It’s very important not to start or stop a medication that Scott did not prescribe. As your body begins to heal we will send you back to your doctor to reevaluate the drugs you are on and if they are necessary.

  • Should I tell my doctor that I'm seeing you and what should I tell him if he asks especially if he says to stop taking supplements?

    We never discourage you from telling your doctor that you are a patient here. Although stopping your supplements is never actually necessary. Most western medicine MD’s, and even Naturopathic doctors are skeptical of Alternative Medicine because they are uneducated on so many levels about Chinese Medicine, Nutrition, and Kinesiology. They generally discourage our patients from trusting Alternative Medicine (in the beginning) until they see the amazing results. At that point they cannot deny something has changed dramatically in their patient’s health, at which point they are often speechless:). Scott considers himself part of the team in handling serious conditions, and he often works directly with your doctor to eliminate unnecessary drugs and avoid unnecessary surgeries. We value their role in removing tumors, and emergency surgery.

  • How safe are the supplements you're recommending and are there any side effects?

    Scott has searched the world over for the purest and safest herbs and whole food supplements. Most of the herbal formulas come from Australia with the highest standard in the world. It is not uncommon for patients to experience some detox symptoms while starting a supplement program such as increased bowel movements, slight nausea or headaches etc… These programs promote detox and healing which may feel uncomfortable at first. Yet, this is completely normal and goes away as the body heals.
