best advocates. About Other Practitioners at

life style -with particular emphasis on vitamin and mineral uptake, physical
and emotional trauma, including genetic, structural, metabolic and
neuropsychological factors; functional factors such as vestibular, ocular motor
function, auditory and visual processing, motor co-ordination, balance,
