	Nutrition Response Testing^sm How long can I expect to be involved with this program? The duration of the program is as individual as the person who is being tested and treated. It can typically take anywhere from 3 months to 2 years. The program has a total of 3 phases which consists of the Fine Tuning Phase, Healing and Observation Phase, and Maintenance Phase. This program is individualized, so will vary patient to patient. All patients go thorough these 3 phases but at different rates.

Nutrition Response Testing™ is a procedure for all health conditions and symptoms because it focuses on the underlying causes of illness in the body. It does not focus on the conditions or the symptoms themselves. Is Nutrition Response Testing™ useful for healthy people too? Yes. It is also for people looking to optimize their health through a nutritional program. It is a natural anti-ageing program.return to services WholeFood Nutrition Therapy How much does nutrition therapy program cost? This is a difficult question to answer as each clinically designed program is individualized depending on the health issues being addressed. Typically, the costs can range from $20.00 to $150.00 per month. If your health is important to you, then this cost is worth every penny. How do I know when I am finished with the nutrition therapy program? The doctor partners with the patient to achieve optimal healing. The doctor cannot say upfront how long it will take to achieve the results the patient is wanting. Each patient responds differently to a healing program. Muscle testing is the technique used to determine the healing progress in patients. Is Nutrition Therapy for people who are healthy too? Yes. Nutrition Therapy is for all people seeking optimal health whether for a maintenance program or healing program. Why whole food nutrition instead of the typical synthetic vitamins found over the counter? This is a question that is hard to answer in a few sentences. This is a seminar topic!The main reason is that the body needs the substances it is made of to heal it. Whole food complexes include all of its synergist components to make that food useable and healing to the body. The body does not recognize synthetic vitamins, as they are isolated compounds and not the whole complex. Synthetic vitamins are toxic to the body and actually cause deficiencies in the body. They are a big part of the reason why there is so much illness and dysfunction in the body.return to services Chiropractic Applied KinesiologyHow long are the office visits?

We give our patients a Super Bill at the end of their office visit if they want to get reimbursement by their insurance company. The patient sends in the Super Bill to the insurance company themselves. The insurance company may reimburse some or all of the charges depending on the insurance company and the patient’s type of coverage. How many office visits will I need to correct the problem? The number of office visits depends upon the condition that needs to be corrected. The doctor will discuss this at the Report of Findings office visit with the patient. Are there Saturday and evening appointments available? Yes, both can be arranged by appointment.return to services MicroLight™ Cold LaserHow can such benefits be achieved with something as basic as a light? Most injuries result in damaged tissues. The laser light penetrates the damaged tissue increasing the level of blood circulation in the affected area. This increases the immune response, reducing healing time and providing pain relief. How many sessions does it take? Many patients feel pain relief after the first session. However, pain relief does not equal healing. It typically takes anywhere from 3-16 sessions to notice sustained change in the affected area, depending on the level of original tissue damage. How much does it cost? Each session is $35.00 for 15 minutes of therapy. Will the procedure hurt? The cold laser, unlike the hot laser, does not cut or invade the tissues on which it is applied. The laser light travels in a straight line, has a single wavelength, and concentrates its beam in a specific location. The laser light penetrates the skin with no heating effect, skin damage, or side effects.return to services Accelerated Allergy Clearing Technique^sm Why would I need to do this program? If you have had roller coaster success with your healing programs in the past, then AACT^sm may be for you. The patient goes through Nutrition Response Testing^sm first, and is put on a nutrition therapy program. If with this program, the patient has an interference that is inhibiting healing, then Accelerated Allergy Clearing is used. What are the costs? If the person is already a patient of Dr. Pierotti’s and has been doing a Nutrition Response Testing^sm protocol, then there is no Initial Office Visit fee. Otherwise, the Initial Office Visit is $166.00. Each office visit thereafter is $83.00 for ½ hour of clearing. What are the guidelines to this program? The guidelines are that you must commit to at least one time per week visits until all the clearings are done. More than one clearing can be done in a week if faster results are wanted. How many office visits are there in the AACT^sm program? It depends on the patient and how many allergies show up in the Initial Office Visit screening, and, how many allergies the body will allow to be cleared in each office visit. This is an individualized program. The body guides the healing processreturn to services
