Keynote & Lecture Testimonials
“I have had the privilege of Dr. Phyllis Books speaking in my Pediatrics Course at Parker University on many occasions.
Her information and delivery are riveting. She is very engaging with the students. The students love to hear her speak and ask “When is Dr. Books returning to campus to speak to us?” You do not want to miss an opportunity to hear Dr. Books speak.”
Charlotte Watts, DC
Professor, Center for Academics
Parker University, College of Chiropractic
“Dr. Phyllis Books is a master at virtually any subject she chooses to teach.
She captivates the audience with her anecdotes and wisdom. She has the ability to educate and entertain, an important set of skills to keep the audience engaged. I’ve observed her transform an audience of skeptics to an audience of believers when she presented information about learning disabilities and her ability to resolve such conditions without the use of drugs – that is, using the methodologies she developed. She is a true master.”
Dr. Richard Kaye, former Chairman of the Board of the Sacro Occipital Research Society International (SORSI)
“I have known Dr. Phyllis Books for at least 2 decades and during that time she has shown a deeply inquisitive and integrative mind.
She has been able to see through the fog of complex conditions and patient presentations by utilizing her vast chiropractic and cranial clinical experience to develop new low risk and effective methods of care for brain trauma, developmental disabilities and conditions such as dyslexia. With multifactorial conditions we all need doctors with minds willing to dig deep and explore the myriad of causations for a patient’s dyslexia and Dr. Books manages to unravel this mystery and offer solutions.”
Dr. Charles Blum, D.C., CSCP Chair, S.O.T Research Conferences Past President of SOTO-USA

Her insights and clear delineation of the differences between dyslexia, ADHD and ADD were particularly useful. She clearly has extended our understanding of how to work with these children.”
