We Remember
Of course, on this tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, we look back and remember those tragic events. I wonder if that was the feeling of those who were around during the attacks on Pearl Harbor?

Fevers…Good???
Here is an article on fevers that was sent to me from some friends at Mt State Wellness in Morgantown, WV. Dr's.

They use the Nucca technique in their practice. … Continue reading Fevers…Good???
