OK... So when the owner, Carol, who I've met several times during my sporadic visits over the years, tells me to get to the hospital ER right away, and that directive saved my life, well, I've got a very grateful heart for this extremely well educated and stocked health food, supplements, products establishment. My plan that particular eve was to pick up some oil of oregano. A friend had suggested a few hours earlier that I go see Carol for just that. It is a natural antibiotic. Lucky for me Carol was there that particular evening. I told her what I was there for and she asked what was going on. I showed her pictures of some post surgical wounds I'd been tending to for what seemed to be longer than should have. And I told her I just wasn't feeling well, fever and chills feelings but with no fever registering on the thermometer. Her strong suggestion to get to the hospital, which I downplayed, had my sister who was driving us that eve, take me directly to the ER. I was admitted and was given 2 different strong IV antibiotics for 4 days. I was told by several hospital employees that I was so close to septic shock they felt I would have for sure had by the next day had I not come in when I did. Thank you, Carol, for taking the next step to politely ask what was going on. It was 10 minutes from closing time when I got to your store. You could have just rushed me out and be done with me. But you took the time to help me... And I mean HELP ! THANK...

I don't live near here - I was on my way back from picking up something in Round Lake Beach. If I find myself in this area again, I will definitely shop here.
They have a terrific selection and while some of the prices are a little high, they had great deals on several clearance shelves. I scored an 18.7 ounce tub of Ancient Nutrition Multi Collagen from one of these shelves! The original price was $52.95 - the online price everywhere is $49.99 - so this is a little high. It was on sale for $19.99 with an additional 30% off, so I got it for $13.99!! What an incredible deal -the best before date is 9/2020, but I'm sure it will last well past then.
I loved the whole body and cosmetic section - very lovely and unusual items that would make great gifts. And I was impressed with their selection of sugar-free candy and gum, especially all the flavors of...
