Why we choose to offer Wachters' products:
Simply put, the integrity of the company and the quality of their products.
We have been involved with whole foods nutrition including the Wachters' products for over 20 years.
It is possible to live life with adequate exercise, rest, and a balanced lifestyle, but without proper nutrition everything becomes compromised. Our bodies are in a constant state of building and repairing and require the proper building blocks to do so. With the added stress' of a demanding lifestyle and unhealthful environmental factors the requirements for good nutrition is even more necessary.
Wachters' goes beyond good nutrition to superior nutrition. Today's soils are becoming depleted of minerals and nutrients and soil based plants can take on environmental pollutants. Sea plants on the other hand are extremely mineral rich and in fact pull toxins from the body (read about sea plants and their benefits on the web site). Sea vegetables contain 40 times more nutrients than in any grown on land.
Using Wachters' products is an investment in your health and wellbeing.

I slept and dreamt that life was a joy.
I awoke and saw that life was service.
I acted and behold! Service was joy.

A Course in Miracles
Many of my clients know the extent of which I go to in order to explain session goals and techniques I employ and to help them understand my observations. I am known to bring out anatomy books, charts and even a skeleton on occasion. I routinely provide current research papers on any given topic. Even though at times some issues may be controversial, I believe in providing the mind with an active process to stimulate thought and dialog. I also believe an educated patient has the best chances of success with prevention and recovery from injury or illness. Many people are coming to the realization their doctors do not have all the answers, that medications alone aren't the answer, that wellness is inclusive of multiple factors. It is within this theme that I present a variety of information.
So sit back and enjoy, read what you want and leave the rest. I hope what I provide is interesting and helpful.
Yours in wellness,
Dana
