ALLPRO IMAGING

Imaging Begins with ALLPRO

ScanX 12

It all began over 20 years ago, in 1985 with the ALLPRO 2000M film processor, which quickly captured a significant section of the podiatry market. The new processor was so well received that it was awarded the APMA Seal of Acceptance. Several new film processor models with more features and benefits have been introduced in the years after.

Then, as you are well aware, the digital revolution entered our lives. Cell phones, MP 3 players, laptops, PDAs, and your office—everything is changing, including radiography. What if images could be recorded digitally, and presented on a computer monitor rather than viewing films on a lightbox? The answer to that question has critical impact. ALLPRO Imaging wanted to help people make a smooth, comfortable transition to digital radiography. The company's answer was nothing less than the revolutionary ScanX Digital Imaging System, which was introduced in 2002. Since then, thousands of ScanX systems have been installed in the health care, industrial, veterinary and security markets worldwide. ScanX became one of the most popular digital imaging systems on the market.

What is ScanX? ScanX is a Computed Radiography (CR) system that uses Phosphor Storage Plates (PSP) instead of film to capture the x-ray image. PSPs are durable and can be used thousands of times. The latent image on the plate is read by ScanX and then transferred to the computer in seconds.

All of our products are manufactured in our new 200,000-square-foot facility in Melville, NY. ALLPRO Imaging benefits from the proven engineering and manufacturing capabilities of Air Techniques, Inc., a major manufacturer of dental equipment for 45 years, by sharing its executive and manufacturing resources of 350 dedicated professionals.

ALLPRO Imaging's products are distributed through a network of authorized full-service dealers so you will always have the support you need.We are dedicated to providing our worldwide customers with superior products supported by professional customer and expert technical service.

BIOTICS RESEARCH CORPORATION

From day one, the foundation of Biotics Research Corporation has been Innovation and Quality. For more than 30 years, our goals have remained unchanged—innovative ideas, carefully researched concepts, and product development with advanced analytical and manufacturing techniques to develop and produce nutritional products of superior quality and effectiveness. Our unique philosophy has resulted in Biotics being the industry leader in several important areas:

• Phytochemically-bound food-form trace minerals
• Introduction of Coenzyme Q10 as a food supplement
• Emulsified oily nutrients for improved uptake and utilization
• Neonatal Glandular Concentrates produced from USDA inspected tissues of US origin
• The introduction of Purified Chondroitin Sulfates for chondroprotection
• Our phytochemically rich vegetable culture tablet and capsule base, high in polyphenolic compounds and antioxidant enzymes, providing substantial free radical quenching activity.

Quality Control

Biotics Research Corporation's SOPs and standards either meet or exceed the standards set by US Pharmacopoeia, NPA and the FDA's recently published cGMPs for Dietary Supplements.We currently export our products through successful registration, as well as in-process submissions throughout Europe (including Germany), Canada (NHPD), Korea (KFDA), and Israel (IMOH).

Our Practices

At Biotics Research Corporation's headquarters and manufacturing facility in Rosenberg, TX, our quality procedures and practices are closely monitored by our on-site Quality Control and Quality Assurance Unit. Extensive written procedures (SOPs) are used to define the responsibilities and authority of the Quality Control Unit with regard to all aspects of the manufacturing process as it pertains to the quality, purity, strength, identity, and composition of nutritional supplement products manufactured at Biotics Research Corporation. The Quality Control/Assurance Unit is separate and distinct from the Production Department, and has full authority to reject ingredients, finished product, and stop production without the approval of other company management. The confidence in our quality is backed by the programs managed and monitored by our Quality Unit. Our Quality Control Department monitors and controls the manufacturing of our products in compliance with the FDA's new cGMPs. For example, all raw materials are quarantined upon receipt by a QC Officer. Ingredients are reviewed and tested using appropriate analytical methods specific to the nature of the ingredient in order to assess and qualify the identity, purity, potency, and composition of each ingredient using standardized and in-house developed methods utilizing HPLC, ICP, AA, IR, FTIR, UV/VIS, TLC, and Electrophoresis, as well as microbiological testing. Specifications are set by the QC Department for each ingredient and each ingredient is evaluated for acceptability of use and criteria for release by QC.

Throughout our manufacturing process, ingredients, in-process, products and finished products are tracked, monitored, and managed through an identification and tracking system by our QC Department, which maintains constant control. Production batch records are issued and reviewed by senior QC managers prior to weighing, weights are double checked and verified prior to blending, and the blended batches are QC released post-blending for homogeneity prior to production.

All production is performed in individual temperature, humidity, and dust-controlled rooms. Prior to the commencement of every production batch run, our QC Microbiological Department checks logbooks and swab tests the equipment. Passing results, our QC Microbiologist releases equipment for use on a daily basis.

Our products go through a rigorous inspection process by trained inspection personnel. The Quality Control team re-inspects, samples, calculates and verifies yields, and analyzes the products for potency prior to the batch being released to Packaging. Once product batches are released to the Packaging Department, the product is packaged and then quarantined while the packaging yield is reconciled with bulk product yield and released by our QC team prior to shipment.

In all, our comprehensive quality program underscores our vision, the integrity of our products, and the strength behind our name.

A Story ~ A Technique ~ A Product You Must Have!

The Concept-Therapy Institute© was founded by Dr. Thurman Fleet, D.C. in 1931. The Institute's primary international headquarters has been located on a large parcel of land in NW San Antonio since 1949, and its chiropractic and layperson coursework has been taught internationally since 1944.

Among the many graduates of the Zone Healing technique taught in the Concept-Therapy© seminars are Dr. James Parker and Dr. Parker's right hand person, Dr. Bill Chapel. The "stickman" Dr. Parker uses is also of Concept-Therapy© origin.

The Concept-Therapy Institute1 and coursework were the result of remarkable experiences in a remarkable life. His extraordinary story can be found in the biography written about him, "Where There Is A Will, There Is A Way," which can be obtained through the Concept-Therapy© Institute at 1-800-531-5628 or at www.concept-therapy.org. His incredible story can also be found in the annals of the Texas Chiropractic College, in the upcoming history of chiropractic being written by Dr. Joseph Keating, and the San Antonio Express-News. One newspaper article of particular interest cites local authorities asking Dr. Fleet to close his practice during peak traffic hours as the number of vehicles and pedestrians coming to his clinic gridlocked downtown traffic! He was truly one of the most innovative minds chiropractic has ever seen!

Among Dr. Fleet's many innovations is the FLEET SPINAL DEMONSTRATOR developed in 1938. Dr. Fleet learned early on the tremendous impact of letting the patient "see" the value of chiropractic treatment. Dr. Fleet used his invention, the fleet spinal demonstrator, to put the "image" of subluxation and realignment into the mind of the patient. He found when the patient could "see," therefore understand the principles involved, the adjustment was easier and more effective for a longer period of time equalled referrals. Out of circulation for many years, the fleet spinal demonstrator has been remanufactured to last the lifetime of your chiropractic office ~ it's a piece of chiropractic artwork of which you can be proud! www.spinaldemonstrator.com.

But the most significant chiropractic legacy that Dr. Fleet left for his esteemed profession is his ZONE HEALING TECHNIQUE of chiropractic; not treatment, but true healing. Still today, the CHIROPRACTIC PRINCIPLES & PRACTICES (CPP) course enables doctors to double their foot traffic in the same amount of time, focus the treatment on the exact cause of their disease as specified by the patient's body (based on Gray's Anatomy), and increases patient referrals. The CPP course is being so widely demanded in and of itself, and is so invaluable to the true chiropractic philosophy, that many states are accrediting this course in 8, 12 & 16 hour segments for license renewal, and national accreditation is in process. Doctors all over the world have broadened their understanding and success rates by utilizing Dr. Fleet's original understanding and technique of healing. Also available on DVD.

DRUCKER LABS

When Richard Drucker, founder of Drucker Labs, makers of intraMax™, was 10 years old, his mother died from an immune deficiency disease. In his 20s, when he was working as an accountant, the same disease began to significantly impact his life. Autoimmune disease is the major cause of serious chronic diseases. Approximately 50 million Americans, 20 percent of the population, suffer from autoimmune diseases.Autoimmunity is a result of a misdirected immune system that causes one's own immune system to attack the body.

Dr. Drucker began consulting various physicians and health care professionals in an attempt to arrest his disease. After allopathic medicine began to fail him and the pharmaceuticals were actually making him worse, he became very sick. He cites that he was, "literally one step from Death's doorway." Bedridden, weighing a mere 135 pounds on a 6'2" frame, all he could do was listen to audio tapes. He stumbled across Linus Pauling addressing Congress about the state of health in America. Dr. Pauling's statement, "Every ailment, every sickness and every disease can be traced back to an organic trace mineral deficiency," struck a chord with Dr. Drucker.

He began an earnest campaign to explore alternative therapies and homeopathic and nutritional remedies. In his search for perfect mineral supplements, he found an interest and aptitude for natural health. With the help of local church members, he began collecting mineral products and actually mixed the first batch in his bathtub. To his doctor's surprise, after taking this self-invented product, his health began to improve.

After a few weeks, however, his health deteriorated and became even worse than before. Results of toxicology tests showed extreme toxicity. He discovered that colloidal (very large sized) minerals were being used by his body, but in exactly the opposite way desired. These large molecules settled in spaces between his cells, creating that toxic state. His initial improvement in health indicated that his body did indeed need the minerals, but not in that form. Back to the tape, he listened over and over and finally heard the word—ORGANIC. He reformulated his mineral tonic to be encased in living carbon.

Not only was this new formula readily accepted by his cells, but it actively attacked the toxic leftovers from the colloidal minerals. He discovered the detoxification power of what he would later call intraCELL™ Technology that put him on the true pathway to recovery.

Another outcome of this intensive period of his life was a resultant career change. Dr.Drucker returned to school and received multiple degrees, including a Masters of Science in Natural Health and Doctorate in Naturopathy. He is now a highly respected doctor in the field of natural health and the CEO of his own company. He spends his time working with patients and working on new and improved formulas to improve health. Every day at Drucker Labs, we hear amazing stories of how our products are helping people in simple and significant ways.

What is intraMAX™?

intraMAX™ is a 100% organic liquid microcomplexed™ trace mineral supplement, plus an all-in-one multivitamin and much more. It contains 70+ trace minerals along with other health-promoting "super foods," which totals more than 415+ essential organic microcomplexed™ nutrients in each bottle. intraMAX™ is the most scientifically advanced, clinically proven, health promoting organic nutritional supplement available today! The statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. The product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

FOOT LEVELERS

A Partner in Progress
Fifty-five years ago, Dr.Monte Greenawalt invented a technology to balance the body by balancing the feet, thereby enhancing his patients' structural integrity. The custommade orthotics, Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers®, provided structural support, yet allowed the foot to retain a full range of motion. Through independent research and real-world testimonials, the Stabilizers have proven themselves time and again. Foot Levelers is now the leading provider of custom-made Stabilizers and other health care products.

Throughout its history of success, the company has had a positive influence on nearly every facet of chiropractic: patient wellness and instruction; public awareness of the benefits of chiropractic care; philanthropic donations to numerous chiropractic colleges and research foundations; and extensive financial support to local, state, and national chiropractic associations. Now in its sixth decade of commitment, support, and results, Foot Levelers is a living testament to the faith, vision, hard work, and generosity of its founder, Monte H. Greenawalt, DC, DABCO.

Supporting Your Adjustments

Proper support to the feet aids in the natural balance and stabilization of the spine and pelvis. Foot Levelers' Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers are designed from a weight-bearing cast so deficiencies in the foot can be analyzed and corrected in the Stabilizer. Every custom-made Stabilizer is handcrafted using specific measurements of the foot from a weight-bearing cast (our foam casting kits) or digital scan (using our Associate™ digital scanner).

In addition, Foot Levelers Stabilizers provide structural support for the three arches of the foot to provide firm support. With a flexible design, our Stabilizers allow the foot a normal range of motion.And only Foot Levelers offers the patented Gait Cycle System®, which protects and supports the foot through all phases of gait.

Foot Levelers also offers pillows to support cervical adjustments. In 1969, the world's first cervical support pillow, the Pillo-Pedic®, was introduced. Today, we also offer the world's first custom-made cervical pillow, the Exclusively Yours®. Each Exclusively Yours pillow is handcrafted in our labs based on four simple measurements and the patient information you provide. The Exclusively Yours pillow also includes the Sleep Cycle System™, a patent-pending process that supports the cervical spine in both back-and side-lying positions.

Supporting Your Practice, Supporting Chiropractic

Foot Levelers is your partner in progress. Our products are designed to support your expert care and are only available through licensed health care professionals. Our staff chiropractors and trained customer service representatives are available to help with any questions or difficult cases you might have.

LIFE SYSTEMS SOFTWARE

Increased Income, More Patients, Audit Protection, & More Time

ChiroSuite from Life Systems Software is the tool that brings success to your office. Thousands of chiropractic offices are using computer programs, and the complete program brings you the benefits you desire. Computers are now a requirement to meet the demands of insurance processing. Is your office prepared for post payment audits? Are you ready to file claims electronically? Are you collecting all the money owed to you?

The right computer based program can turn your office into a paperless haven of efficiency that increases your income, reduces your expenses, builds your practice, and gives you time. ChiroSuite, the fully integrated SOAP note, Narrative, Appointment Scheduling, Billing and Practice Management system solves these current and futuristic issues PAPERLESSLY. If a paperless solution generates trepidation please note that Life Systems Software has been rendering chiropractic offices paperless since 1992 and is now placed in over 2,000 actively practicing chiropractic offices in the United States with even more offices in Canada,Mexico, Europe,Australia and the Pacific Rim.

The most important part of a computer program is flexibility to do what you want in the order that you want to do it. SOAP note programs that do not allow flexibility to add modalities, regions, to change templates and to modify the verbiage of your SOAP notes do not meet insurance requirements. Some insurance companies require electronic billing. If your program does not perform electronic billing, you will never collect from those companies. Some offices use billing services or electronic claims carriers that remove profits from your bottom line. ChiroSuite offers free electronic commercial claims. Do your SOAP notes always match your billing? This is vital in a post payment audit! In ChiroSuite your SOAP note generates your charges, and ChiroSuite warns you when your documentation and billing do not match (critical since Medicare can fine you up to $10,000 for each date on which documentation and billing do not match). And if you entered charges for which there are no SOAP notes, ChiroSuite gives you a report letting you know which patients are missing SOAP notes for specific dates.Upon implementation of ChiroSuite, your paperwork diminishes by 95%, filing becomes a thing of the past, missed appointments cease being lost patients and balances may be forgiven but are never forgotten.

ChiroSuite also improves intangibles such as office efficiency and staff retention. Staff can concentrate on recalls, reactivation, collection, and marketing all while the doctor spends more time on patients, seeing more patients or having longer visits. If you are like most of our clients the only question to contemplate after office hours is, "Where should we look to plan our next vacation?"

Here are some of our clients' comments in using the ChiroSuite series of programs:

Of all the great features in ChiroSuite the feature I love the most is the way your software bills Medicare; along with your recommended third party billing company nothing is easier. Thank you so much for a great program!

-- Mary Furry, Furry Chiropractic, Office Manager

I've been using this system for 9 years and it has been an excellent system that continues to get better.

-- Mark C. Nemetz, D.C.

Just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with Chiropad... The notes are easy to enter, even easier to print off. We love being able to customize patient notes to meet the needs of our office.

-- Richard B. Stele, D.C.

A purchase of Life Systems Software products includes training, floating network licenses, a full year of support and a full year of software updates. And our technical support staff are real people.

MPN SOFTWARE SYSTEMS & GALACTEK

MPN Software Systems was founded in 1985 by a husband and wife team in New Jersey. She was a 1982 New York Chiropractic College graduate who had outgrown her first office and was treating several hundred patients weekly. Her new husband was a graduate student in Computer Science with years of Fortune 500 and startup experience under his belt.

Originally trademarked as the “Chiropractic Office Manager,” their new billing software quickly began replacing other practice management systems as they established a local reputation. By 1987, they caught the eye of a New York-based entrepreneur and his partner—who just happened to work for one of the busiest and most well known chiropractors in the state of New York (he soon became President of NYSCA). A new company was formed. By 1991, the software was being sold nationally and HNA—today known as GalacTek—was preparing to relocate their corporate operations to Florida.

Within a year of national release, MPN's innovations—such as independent case management under a single ID number—began to appear in competitive products.Moving from DOS as Microsoft Windows became more stable, MPN released the first Windows-based practice management software for chiropractors in the nation. By the summer of 1995, the introduction ofWindows '95 by Microsoft resulted in a great deal of media attention as the newly renamed ECLIPSE became more and more popular. GalacTek built a new corporate headquarters so they could run operations and provide state-of-the-art technical support to clients across the United States.

GalacTek's state-of-the-art facility included a video production and editing suite to create training videos; an extensive digital phone system that allowed automatic digital routing and recording of all calls; and room to grow. Today, separate departments dedicated to HIPAA issues, Quality Assurance, Sales, and Customer Support provide a solid foundation for the thousands of chiropractic offices that use ECLIPSE daily.

In the meantime, ECLIPSE had expanded to handle a variety of additional office requirements. By the beginning of the new century, the billing product that had been launched in 1985 was a distant memory. ECLIPSE was now a robust application that encompassed billing, scheduling, and electronic health records. Of course, it also handled data that wasn't even relevant in 1985—such as cell phone numbers and e-mail addresses.

Then came HIPAA. And once again, ECLIPSE was first. BC/BS carriers from across the United States were calling the newly formed GalacTek ANSI department to test their capabilities against claims generated by ECLIPSE—claims they knew were certified as ANSI 837 compliant by independent vendors such as ClarEDI.

ECLIPSE is now available with training on CD, live over the Internet—or in doctors' offices. Clients download new updates on a daily and weekly basis.New features such as document automation now allow ECLIPSE users to condense 15 minutes of work into less than a minute. A growing staff of dedicated professionals handles calls on a fully computerized system that records calls for quality assurance.

Over the past two decades, thousands of offices have purchased ECLIPSE. For many, it's been their second, third, or fourth system. After 22 years, over 99.5% of ECLIPSE users are still running it. And once again, MPN Software Systems is reinventing the wheel, striving to keep ECLIPSE at the forefront of technology.

The response from GaitScan™ users has been very positive. Here are just a few of the testimonials that we have received:

"It (GaitScan™) really does pay for itself and business is at least four times greater than I imagined."

—Dr. Donald W.Wyckoff, DC

"We recently switched over to TOG from another computerized gait analysis/orthotic company. There were several reasons we decided to switch rather than stay with the previous company and upgrade with their software. One standout reason was the graphic display for patient education. We have been very happy with our decision to partner with TOG; overall the service and personnel are great!"

—Dr. Chris Kippel, DC

"I would like to let practitioners in on a little secret—TOG biomechanical GaitScan™ system is superior to others seen in the marketplace. I have been working with TOG now since the addition of the GaitScan™ system to my office, and I continue to be impressed with the product quality and level of service that I have received."

—Dr. Linda Drake, DC

VISUAL ODYSSEY

Patient Education at the Speed of Sight!
Realization (rapid understanding) brings you Retention, Referrals and Revenue.

Through years of producing the most effective, dramatic and unforgettable patient education, Visual Odyssey has become the specialist for Chiropractic motivation around the world. It's a fact. When chiropractors properly use our tools, they have more patients and are more successful. Would more patients who follow schedules, refer friends and family, and share the story with others, help you enjoy going to the office everyday? Well then, check out the following tools for practice growth:

Neuropatholators (electronic wall charts): Since 1976 this product has provided instant, dramatic, specific demonstrations of neurological anatomy as it relates to cause and symptom and is found in thousands of chiropractic clinics worldwide. The new Neuropatholator is a compact, modern, dependable chart perfect for the ROF as well as halls, adjusting rooms, and spinal screenings. Push a button and get instant understanding.

Spinal Health Orientation flip chart (a.k.a. the SHO): Since the mid 1980's Visual Odyssey has provided thousands of DC's with this convenient patient lecture package. Your choice from 57 different colorful, creative posters. The SHO chart makes lectures easy and fun and gives your office an educational Chiropractic theme of the day – Everyday. Because of the software mentioned below, these posters are being phased out at 60% off.

Now Step Into The Future . . .

The Neuropatholator Software: Computer technology has merged with the Neuropatholators and the SHO Flip Chart. This program includes some truly amazing 3D anatomy software that makes the impact of the subluxation obvious and powerful.

Visual Odyssey Software is your ultimate ROF, lecture, waiting room, kids games and ergonomics program with hundreds of graphics and correlations at your fingertips. Packed with dozens of fun and exciting animations that include interaction, involvement, and instant education, these famous graphics have been crafted into riveting presentations that are totally under your control.

Let these programs run automatically for nonstop patient education between when you or your patients interact with them. Visual Odyssey software is totally engaging.

This program is perfect for daily "table talks" because it gives you instant access to custom mini-workshops that keep discussions fresh, relevant and to the point. This is how you boost referrals and retention. Many high volume DC's even have their staff perform these "focus moments".

The Neuropatholator PopUp Express: Designed for use with software screening tools like SEMG, Posture, ROM and Thermography, is a subset of the above software. One click fills your monitor with captivating graphics and riveting animations. Pop it up. Use it. Pop it away.

It includes a dynamic "Neuropatholator" which features energy pulses flowing along nerve pathways, while irritated nerves throb, and organs flash. There's also a "Subluxation Finder" screen, a "Posture Display" screen that ‘morphs' bodies to match the chosen posture type, and a "Subluxation Demonstrator". This correlates wonderfully with your diagnostic software to create that deep, emotional comprehension that leads to follow-through and referrals. And it's just a Pop away.

Attention: You may qualify to save over 40% on the Neuropatholator Wall Chart or Visual Odyssey Software.

Qualifying businesses may claim a credit for "qualified interpreters or other effective methods of making aurally delivered materials available to individuals with hearing impairments".

Since the Neuropatholator Wall Chart and Software are extremely visual and allow nearly instant non-verbal communication, they should qualify for the tax credit which could save you 40%.
