Wellness Focus – USANA Supplements

Posted on 06/14/2014

It is common for a chiropractor to make dietary recommendations including micro-nutrient supplementation. Problem people run into is where to get reliable, quality food supplements in Asia when any such recommendation is made? My patients would run to the local “Health Food Store” and buy supplements but they just weren’t getting the expected results. Apparently, in Asia some companies use fillers in their products to lower their costs, and because of the lack of government oversight and enforceability on these…

The Welling family hired an Asian maid who ended up having food allergies.

The God Gene

Posted on 04/19/2014

There is nothing new about the debates between science and religion on the existence of God. What is new is that science says it may have found proof of God in our DNA. People everywhere have always understood that there is an inner drive inside humanity to seek out God in their hearts and minds. We even joked and said that somehow we were hard-wired to seek out God. What a surprise when geneticists discovered that a specific part of…
