Foods

Naturally, Organically, and/or Sustainably Raised Foods

I don't recommend these unless I have personally visited the farms or sampled the products, and can whole heartedly support them.

Healthy Chocolate
The perfect chocolate for diabetics or health minded chocolate lovers.
Sweetened with Xylitol, this organic chocolate uses a variety of unique ingredients such as mormodica, noni fruit, green tea, bioflavonoids, and black pepper extract to increase its antioxidant profile, help regulate blood sugar, and create a healthier chocolate product.
Contact Pat Chambers at 423-329-3978 for local availability information. 
For more information about the company go to www.healthychocolatecompany.com

Their schedule for Johnson City is posted at their web site, or call Chiro-Health for more information.  Thermography and ultra sound are the only two screening methods that I currently consider acceptable and safe for detecting breast cancer.  Please see my October 2009 newsletter for more on this controversial and critical topic.
