This week, Dr. Prather answers a question people often ask of his patients who refer them to his office.  In this episode, we talk about:

—How people often don't understand how their condition can be helped by someone who is licensed as a Chiropractor.  But how their skepticism usually disappears after their first patient exam.
—The Diplomate of the American Board Of Chiropractic Internists (D.A.B.C.I.), 3-year post-graduate program that Dr. Prather went through, which only about 5% of students even complete.
—Why Dr. Prather says, “If you don't want diagnostics done, then don't come to me."  And how his office offers more thorough diagnostics "than probably any place you've ever been", including for patients who previously went to places like the Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins.
—The difference between pharmaceutically-based Disease Care and the Structure-Function Care practiced at Holistic Integration.  And why Dr. Prather says he doesn't treat diseases, but focuses on trying to take care of the underlying cause to the disease and helping the body to work as well as it possibly can.
—How 80% of Health Care should be Structure-Function based and 20% of Health Care should be Disease Care based.  And the long-term insurance company study that proved how having a Structure-Function doctor as your primary physician will improve patient outcomes by 85% and reduce health care costs by 60%.
—Why EVERYONE should have three basic lab tests every year:  Prather Profile Blood Analysis, Hair Analysis, and a Stool Kit.
—How Dr. Prather saw a "huge improvement" in his patient results when he combined the Structural Care he was offering with Functional Care.  And why the combination of both Structure and Function produces results that cannot be duplicated by just Structural care or just Functional care alone.
—Why Dr. Prather says that pharmaceuticals, while often necessary, "never make the body healthier" and that "only Structure-Function Care improves the overall health of the body".  And why Disease Care and Structure-Function Care should be working together.
—The treatments classified as Structure-Function Care, such as:  Chiropractic, Acupuncture, herbs, nutraceuticals, vitamins, herbs, homeopathy, and Physiotherapy.  And how "everything and anything" can be helped by Structure-Function Care.
—Plus, you will be delighted to hear from Mary, a patient of Holistic Integration who was a paramedic for 40 years.  And how Holistic Integration has helped her with multiple health issues.
