DISCLAIMER AND RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILTIY AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT FOR BIOENERGETIC SCAN by Rita Panahi, L.Ac./Rita Panahi

This agreement is entered into between Rita Panahi/Rita Panahi, L.Ac., and client who confirms his/her agreement to all of the provisions shown below by agreeing to a BioEnergetic Scan appointment and lifestyle consulting with Rita Panahi/Rita Panahi, L.Ac..

The Qest4 BioEnergetic Scanning System provides a completely non-invasive method for gaining valuable information about your body’s vital functions. The primary objective of the screening is to disclose patterns of stress and provide feedback that will assist in developing a program to restore each system and meridian to balance.

As part of this agreement, Rita Panahi/Rita Panahi, L.Ac., does not promise or guarantee protection from future illness.  The BioEnergetic Scan is considered an alternative procedure and is not a substitute for medical care.  Advice offered is designed to give information for energetic imbalances within the body. Advice offered is not designed to be a diagnosis or cure of any disease, injury or medical condition past, present or future, but as an added support. The consulting suggestions should be done in conjunction with ongoing medical treatment and evaluation and not take the place of any treatment.

• I understand that the Qest4 Bio Energetic screening will only identify energetic imbalances and does not diagnose any disease in the body. The Balancing Item refers to energetic frequency needed to restore balance to the body. Balancing Items are defined differently from medical terms and are not a cure for any disease.
• I understand that the Qest4 survey does not provide medical diagnosis and that my testing technician may recommend further medical testing. If I suspect I need further medical intervention, I understand I should consult my physician (PCP/specialist). I give my permission for the testing technician to evaluate me on the BioEnergetic Scan and that the scan will give me information about myself on an energetic basis. I understand that the scan will not pass judgments on prescribed medications and it is the responsibility of my primary care physician to make any adjustments on prescribed medications. Any decision to follow through with the recommended program is my own decision and I hold the testing technician Rita Panahi/Rita Panahi, L.Ac. harmless.
• I understand that I am here to learn about natural health and better lifestyle practices and I will be offered information about food, supplements and herbs as a guide to general health. The intent is to provide educational information for the purpose of assisting with lifestyle changes necessary to regain and maintain an environment needed to produce a healthy balanced body.
• I understand that I should continue to see any medical doctors I am currently under the care of, and that any prescribed medication should not be altered without first consulting the physician who prescribed it.
• I fully understand that I am not here for any medical diagnostic purposes. Information about the traditional uses of supplements that may create a healthy balance in the body may be discussed. This is not intended to be interpreted as a substitute for a licensed physician’s treatment. Nothing said, done, typed, printed, or reproduced through the BioEnergetic Scan by Rita Panahi, L.Ac./Rita Panahi is intended to diagnose, prescribe, treat, or take the place of a licensed physician. There is no obligation to purchase any supplements.
• I am not on this visit, or any subsequent visit, acting as an agent for the federal, state, county, local law enforcement or news media on a mission of entrapment or investigation.
• I understand that all information and conversations will be kept confidential, and that information concerning myself can be released to another health professional only with my written consent.
• I recognize that the Qest4 BioEnergetic screening is an alternative approach to balancing my health. Being of sound mind, I have chosen this screening to assist in balancing my health of my own free will and in exercise of my constitutional right for the attainment of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
