Office Software

Life Systems Software offers the ChiroSuite System. The ChiroOffice management section of the ChiroSuite System includes the National Provider Identification number and the new CMS1500 insurance form that must be used starting in April 2007. ChiroPad, the SOAP and narrative documentation system with random text generation, uses the portable Fujitsu LifeBook tablet computer, which provides entry of the SOAP notes more quickly than before. The Life Systems Software training system contains more than 6 hours of revised training videos, making it very easy to learn the functions of ChiroSuite. The integration in ChiroSuite eliminates redundancy and turns your office into a paperless practice.

Suppositories

Chelation Specialists offers chelation therapy with Kelatox suppositories for lead poisoning and other toxic heavy-metal conditions. Chelation therapy can be done without the use of an IV or a trip to the hospital. Kelatox binds and removes harmful heavy metals from your patient’s body while he or she sleeps. The suppositories use 900 mg of calcium disodium EDTA with methocel E4M premium USP for a time-release effect. EDTA is a synthetic amino acid that is excreted primarily by the kidneys within 24 hours, but it may also be excreted through the bowels. Almost none of the EDTA is metabolized. Since the vast majority of the EDTA will be broken down and not used while taken orally, the rectal route of administration is very effective. By using suppositories, the EDTA bypasses the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract, which means none will be destroyed by the acids and enzymes in the GI tract allowing a high usage rate. By using a suppository, a majority of the EDTA will bypass the liver and kidneys on first pass, putting less stress on those organs and allowing the EDTA to remain in the body longer, giving it a better chance to bind with toxins.
