What Makes Us Different?
If you are visiting this site we can just about guarantee one thing…you or someone you care about is frustrated with their health!
Hello, my name is Dr. Walter K. Crooks and I want you to know right from the start that we do things differently hear at our Health Recovery Center. We don’t do things the same way as other doctors and other health-care practitioners, even ones that you’ve seen.
The strikingly biggest difference is in our treatment philosophy:
Treat the person, not their diagnosis.
Why would I say that?
Well, a diagnosis is just a label, a set of words. It’s what the health care system uses to classify us and put us in neat little boxes that fit the criteria set forth in textbooks. In our clinic we know that you are not that textbook definition, not some label, instead we know that you are a HUMAN BEING!
Now don’t get me wrong, a diagnosis can be useful. If you came to me and said “I have Restless Leg Syndrome,” or “My child has ADHD” we may have a good place to start but everyday people are MIS-DIAGNOSED and given either false hope or needless worry!
With the chronic conditions that we deal with here a diagnosis won’t give me the most important answer of all…. What is the CAUSE of your problems. Yes, your child may have ADHD, but WHY does he have it? Without this all important factor how could we ever begin to think that we may be able to offer some type of relief, not to mention a cure for these debilitating and chronic conditions.
We know there are no cookie cutter protocols for these conditions, again we are dealing with flesh and blood humans, not cold and unfeeling textbooks!
So how do we achieve the exciting results that we do?
We begin by asking…
What is the mechanism?
Why is this happening?
To answer these questions, Dr. Walter K. Crooks uses:
- Functional Neurology
- Functional Endocrinology
- Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis
These cutting-edge sciences examine your body “systems” from a completely different perspective. We want to find how your nervous system is functioning, if it is running optimally and if not we want to improve its function so that is may become efficient. We want to know how your Immune system, GI system, Endocrine system and Nervous system are working and if they could be part of your problems. We want to find the mechanism behind your problem. To do that we have to look at EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE.
We look at brain function through our non-invasive Functional Brain Assessment. These examinations tell us how well different areas of the brain are functioning and their interactions with one another. We ask the right questions and piece together the puzzle for you. We do all this to make sure we’re getting the best and most complete picture of you.
We do Expanded Blood Chemistry Profiles, Adrenal Stress Index, Immune Panel Testing, Food Protein Reaction testing with DNA profiling. We may also test for gut parasites using the most advanced DNA testing available.
Ninety-nine percent of our patients have already been to 5, 6—even 7 doctors. With little or no long-lasting results. For the most part, all of the “specialists” look at only that system in which they are trained. A Cardiologist looks only at the heart and it’s vessels, a orthopedic wrist specialist only the wrist, a dermatologist the skin and a psychiatrist/psychologist only your mental health.
This approach has failed for a great many of us! No one asks you which was first, the Chronic Fatigue or did you have Restless Leg Syndrome before that, or even earlier did you notice that things you used to like to eat began to turn you off….
You see, we usually have things in our history that pre-date the major problem we have now, but those things weren’t addressed because no-one ever thought that, “Hey maybe there is a pattern here, maybe this chronic condition is a symptom of an even bigger more insidious problem that needs to be addressed and corrected!”
You have to take a step back and view the BIG PICTURE the person as a whole not just the parts that make up that wonderful and complex being.
Dr. Crooks will LEAVE NO STONE UNTURNED in your quest to be healthy and happy.
You see the big picture has been missed, the forest cannot be appreciated because we can’t stop looking at the trees!
To get the great results we do, we must be really good detectives, combing through all that makes up this person, trying to find the longitudinal level of the lesion, that is to say, where exactly is the problems root cause? That means doing the necessary tests whether or not any out-of-touch and self interested insurance company thinks they’re “medically necessary” or not.
Are you suffering from some CHRONIC CONDITION or maybe no one even knows what’s wrong with you and worse yet accuse you of MAKING IT ALL UP that it is just psychosomatic! Have you tried various medicines and seen numerous and varied healthcare providers (chiropractic, physical therapy, acupuncture, medical)? Have you gone through treatment after treatment just to be let down and castigated again and again. Made to feel like a burden and told to get on with your life, learn to LIVE WITH IT!
You are not alone.
Thousands of people just like you have suffered, felt hopeless and alone. It seemed that no answer would ever come despite the many sincere prayers that they had said for help.
Take a look and see the results than many people have found using our Health Recovery Program . An excitingly new way to look at the whole person and determine at what level in the system the problem is located!
So ask yourself the following questions honestly. Consider writing down your answers. You could be at the beginning of a new and exciting path to a wonderful, fulfilling, healthy, pain free new life…
-
How much has this condition affected your job, relationships, finances, family and other activities?
-
What has it cost you in time, money, happiness and freedom?
-
Where do you picture yourself in 1-3 years if this problem isn’t taken care of?
-
What is it worth for you to be able to live your life without this problem being such a burden?
Take time to digest your responses before you read on. You’ve may at one time given in and just figured that you would just have to learn to…“Live with IT”. We want you to know that the our Health Recovery System may be the answer to your chronic condition. Even if you believe or have been told that you couldn’t recover or you have a permanent, unchanging condition that could only get worse but never better. What if it were possible to be 30%, 50%, 80% better? Would that be worth it? What about being at 100%? What would you not do to be able to achieve this?
Our HEALTH RECOVERY PROGRAM gets to the core issues, roots out the problem and restores health.
We specialize in helping frustrated people that have chronic conditions. Know that there is hope. Even people that have even been to the Mayo Clinic and have not found answers have been helped with this new and exciting treatment.
Look, my reputation is at stake, I have patients that drive over 6 HOURS ONE WAY for treatment at my clinic. (call my office if you don’t believe it and we will put you in touch with one of the long distance drivers!)
