Health Promotion

“Health promotion” in this context means helping customers obtain the necessary information and develop the tools to use foods, herbs and vitamins to strengthen their own health status and that of their families.

There are different ways to think about health and how to become healthier. Personal health factors such as hydration, acid-alkaline balance, and lifestyle issues should be understood differently from public health issues that are caused by externally transmitted agents such as deer ticks and mosquitoes.

Note: A limited health-related library is available to all customers. Books related to Lyme disease may circulate. Magazines such as the Townsend Report and Life Extension may only be read in the Reading Room.
