What is Holistic Medicine?
Holistic medicine considers the whole person from the inside out. Ancient Medicine looks at the electricity of the body, something western medicine is not educated in. We know that a scar can cut off the signal to different organs and interfere in the functions of the body, so when looking at the body we look deeply into this aspect of health. We also know if one part of the body is not working properly, other parts malfunction, causing many of our most common ailments.. Western medicine removes organs unnecessarily leaving the body in turmoil.
We save organs by restoring health to them, so they can do the job they were created to do. We examine the 'why" of each ailment, condition or disease.
Scott Sommer LAc ~ Biography
Early Years and Epilepsy
Scott started his journey in health at an early age. His father was an organic farmer, so he spent many days helping his dad on the farm and in the garden. At 18 months old Scott was diagnosed with Epilepsy. At nine years old he was told by his doctor "if he didn't fix it" he would never have a normal life. So, he went home depressed and prayed in desperation to God, promising if he would teach him how to fix his own brain, he would spend the rest of his life helping others do the same. Scott read every book he could find on nutrition and brain health at this very early age, then made many changes to his diet and lifestyle. At age 15 he was declared free from Epilepsy.
Education
Scott received his first degree in Biochemistry from American River College in Carmichael, CA, then went on to receive a Bachelor’s Degree in Nutritional Science from UC Davis, and a Master’s Degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine from the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego, Ca. Then moved on to an Advanced Clinical Kinesiology Certification from Ulan Nutritional Systems, in Florida often referred to as Muscle Response Testing and Kinesiology.
Beginnings in Healing Others
Scott began his practice in downtown Sacramento in 1998. In addition to working in his growing practice, he worked with Sacramento County as a Detox Specialist treating prisoners and developing the first Detox Protocol for the county. While treating patients in downtown Sacramento he began his pursuit in muscle response testing, and received another degree in Advanced Clinical Training in Nutrition Response Testing through Ulan Nutritional Systems in Florida.
