Welcome to our January newsletter, I hope everyone had a great festive season and a tremendous New Year. As you know many individuals start the year with resolutions and we have included an article helping make your resolutions successful. We have also included an article by Dr. Meschino in the nutrition section on glucosamine sulfate. There are many misconceptions about this supplement and this will give you a better understanding on its applications.
Allow me to remind you that we do have massage gift certificates available at the front desk. This makes a nice employee reward, a "Just Because", or a Thank You gift.
In regards to the office, Drs. McKay and Jenkins will not be in the office on Friday, Jan. 18 and Saturday, January 19, as they will be attending a seminar. They will be in the office on Thursday 17 until 4:30 p.m. and returning to normal hours on Tuesday, January 22.
Until next month, stay healthy and if you have any questions, please let us know.

As a contributing factor to the development of osteoarthritis, is the apparent age-related decline in glucosamine sulfate synthesis by the body, which appears to become pronounced by 45 to 50 years of age.(2) Glucosamine sulfate is normally synthesized by chondrocytes and serves as the precursor to the production of N-acetyl-glucosamine sulfate and .. full story...
