360 Mental Health Services
Ask anyone about what they think about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, and you are likely to elicit a variety of opinions.
“In my office,” Dr. Timothy M. Houchin, MD, president of 360 Mental Health Services began, “I’ve heard everything from ‘ADHD is a scam’ to ‘but doctor, my son MUST have ADHD – the saliva test I sent to Dr. so-and-so in Arizona proves it!’”
While these are not actual quotes from parents, the doctors at 360 Mental Health Services have experienced similar reactions from parents. Dr. Houchin wants to set the record straight: “There is no FDA-approved saliva test for ADHD. Sorry!”
Contrary to popular belief, ADHD is a complex, neuropsychiatric disorder of the brain that often cannot be easily fixed with a pill. The numbers of children diagnosed with it are rising. Recent figures suggest that ADHD affects 11% of America’s children, which is a 300 percent to 400 percent increase from the time Dr. Houchin attended UK medical school.
Why are the reported rates of ADHD climbing at such a rapid pace? The short answer is that nobody is completely sure. “I believe a contributing factor may be misunderstanding by doctors and other professionals about how to properly diagnose ADHD,” Dr. Houchin said.
360 Mental Health Services does everything possible to make sure each child is properly diagnosed before starting any medication.

BelleVie Medspa
“CoolSculpting is an exciting new approach that is non-invasive and has shown significant results in clinical studies for removing fat without the potential risks and downtime of invasive procedures,” said Bobbie Damron, APRN with Belle Vie MedSpa.
Cleared by the U.S. FDA, CoolSculpting gently cools unwanted fat cells in the body thereby inducing a natural, controlled elimination of fat cells. This breakthrough is based on research that demonstrates that fat cells are more susceptible to cold and are selectively, painlessly and permanently destroyed. Starting several weeks after the procedure, cooled fat cells begin a process called “apoptosis” and begin to shrink and disappear. The body proceeds to naturally and gradually eliminate the cooled fat cells.
Unlike many other methods of fat reduction, CoolSculpting involves no needles, surgery or downtime. Treatments last between one to two hours. Each CoolSculpting procedure results in an undeniable reduction of fat in the treated area, and patients can start to see results in as little as three weeks, with the most dramatic results occurring over a period of two to four months.

Roberts Health Foods & Services
Colon cleansing might not sound very appealing to some, but colon hydrotherapy can offer a slew of benefits to your health and well-being!
Colon cleansing helps rid the colon of dirt and wastes that have been stored there. Naturally, the colon is responsible for passing waste through the body. However, constipation and other digestive disorders, as well as surgery or accident recovery can cause waste to linger and stagnate in the intestinal tract.
Statistics show that one colon cleansing session can potentially rid the body of up to ten pounds of waste. Getting rid of that burden can mean a lot, especially for someone with health issues or weight concerns.
Curious? Contact Roberts Health Foods to learn more.

LiLa Body Contouring
LiLa Body Contouring is a clinically proven, FDA cleared cold red laser treatment, ideal for “problem areas”, such as the stomach, thighs or arms. LiLa offers immediate results with every visit!
How does LiLa’s Strawberry Laser work? This low-level laser stimulates the adipocyte cells, resulting in the breakdown of stored triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol. This releases them via the channels in the cell membranes. The process doesn’t harm surrounding structures, vessels or nerves. The Strawberry Laser does not destroy cells. The process shrinks cells, causing inch loss in a more natural, non-invasive approach.
The procedure itself is quick! The painless laser paddles are placed on each treatment area for about ten minutes, then moved to adjoining areas and repeated. After the treatment, you’ll be asked to spend just 10 minutes on their Whole Body Vibration machine. Almost everyone shows measurable loss with each treatment!
With no pain, no surgery, no bruising and no recovery time, LiLa’s Strawberry Laser may just be a revolution in body contouring. Contact LiLa today to learn more about this unique and effective option.
Coming to a physicians office near you in January 2014! For information on getting the Lila Lipo Laser in your practice, Please contact Krista Haddad.
