 Background Info for ABC Store

This Department Presents an Overview of

 ABC's Health-care and Wellness Store Facility 

That Was Closed Permanently On April 24, 2014

     The information presented in this department will provide some very important natural health-care concepts for your use.  We will also provide important background information about our health-care concepts education business.  Reviewing this information will enable you to understand some of the important natural health-care education work that Lon has been doing during the past 20+ years. 

     You will gain an understanding of the comprehensive nature of his natural health-care and wellness concepts knowledge and his extensive work experiences with our alternative health type natural health-care and wellness concepts education services for our customers. 

     The Home department of this website explained how Lon Willoughby gradually acquired the special natural health-care and wellness concepts knowledge that was necessary for him to understand how to develop our very important and valuable Advanced Natural Health-care and Wellness Concepts Home-study Education Services.  

     ABC of Health provided a unique Health-care and Wellness Store in Greenville County, South Carolina for 15 years, and the last four years were at our Mauldin store location (52 months). 

Lon and his wife Janie bought their home in Mauldin in November 1977 so they were very familiar with the Mauldin area.  As explained in the About ABC Department, prior to our Mauldin location, this health -care and wellness store facility was located in nearby Greenville for almost ten years (moved to Mauldin during the last few days of December 2009),  

     Throughout the 15 years that we operated our health-care and wellness store, we were a retail outlet for important natural health-care and wellness products, and we also provided very important health-care related educational services. (we served all of the major Greenville area)  Throughout those years, our main objective was to help our customers learn how to take better care of their natural health and wellness assets.

     We stocked several hundred quality nutrition supplement products, and we offered generous discount prices on most of those products (daily).  We also had health-promoting equipment for air filtration and air purification as well as water filtration and water purification equipment.  In addition, we had excellent healthy-cell promoting exercise equipment (CHI and rebounder type exercisers).  

We also offered health-care and wellness concepts education services: 

      1.  classroom education about special health-care and wellness concepts, and 

     2. personalized health-care consultation sessions.   Those natural health-care and wellness services were discussed briefly in our Home department (as shown in the information below).  

     We have several websites that present various natural health-care and wellness subjects in logical categories called departments. 

     You can quickly scan through the links for various departments at this website to get an overview of the very important natural health-care and wellness concepts that are presented at this large website. 

     Our websites are designed to be complementary to each other, and it is important for you to scan through the departments of this main Health-care and Wellness Concepts Education website. 

     Health-care Products:  We will list some of the natural health-care products and services that we used to offer customers in our natural health-care and wellness store.  This information will enable you to understand the comprehensive nature of the natural health-care products and services that we offered the public and it will help you understand the comprehensive nature of our current natural health-care and wellness concepts educational services.

     Lon Willoughby was our store manager and our resident natural health-care consultant, and nutrition consultant, and healthy lifestyle coach.  Lon still has the extensive and comprehensive natural health-care knowledge that he had when our natural health-care and wellness store was in operation.

     Our health store offered quality brands of vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, many herbs, many  enzyme products (more than 10 formulations), a good selection of essential oils, nutritional fish oils and plant oils (Omega 3, 6, 9, EPA and DHA, etc.), several body massage oils, skin creams, and special beauty facial skin conditioning products, shampoo, soaps, safe mouth wash (no harmful chemicals), and excellent toothpaste (without the dangerous fluoride chemical).

     We also stocked special products that could enhance brain chemistry to help improve learning ability, memory and recall, and we had products that could help increase longevity potential.

     In addition to those products, we also had pH test strips and helpful pH educational information, excellent probiotics, proteins powders (egg, pea, rice, soy, whey) and several other  important  sports type products.   We had a very good selection of safe and responsible weight loss products, and our personalized weight loss counseling services could help with clients' weight loss objectives. 

     Lon Willoughby knows how to enhance substantially (improve effectiveness) of most other popular weight loss type programs that clients might already be using.

     Health-care Equipment:  We also offered important health-promoting equipment such as air filters, air purifiers, water filters, water purifiers, water alkalizers and ionizers, and very important bathing water filters - shower filters and bath tub filters. 

     We also stocked an air and water purifier combined that was also an excellent raw food sanitizer unit (could destroy harmful microbes with ozone gas in about 15 minutes).  This special unit could sanitize raw fruit, raw nuts and seeds, and raw salad or vegetable products.  This is a very important unit to have in the home, and we were the only dealer in the Greenville, S.C. area for this special unit.  Lon and his wife Janie own one of these units and they really like it.

     We also offered super health-promoting exercise equipment that will be explained later in this department.    

     Our resident natural health-care and wellness consultant had acquired substantial knowledge about the very important health-promoting types of equipment that we stocked and promoted for sale.

     For years, people could visit our Pure Water department to obtain information about the importance of bathing water filters whenever a person is using municipally treated water.  This water usually has chlorine and ammonia added to help control possible pathogenic (harmful) microbes that may be in the water.  In general, this is a good thing because the chemicals help control the amount of harmful microbes that may be in the water.  However, bathing water filters are especially important when small children or pets are being bathed for the reasons explained below.   

     Without an appropriate bathing water filter, people can be breathing toxic "free chlorine gas" while they are bathing.  Unlike "dissolved chlorine" which stays in the water as you bath, the "free chlorine gas" comes out of the water as a harmful toxic gas and it quickly contaminates the air that you breath as you bath (shower or tub bath) when typical municipal processed water is being used. 

     This free chlorine gas can damage body cells and organ systems (brain, eyes, heart, liver, kidneys, stomach and digestive system, etc.), and this damage can accumulate over time to do substantial harm to body cells and organ systems (over a period of months and years). 

     Would you like to see some scientific reports about these conditions?  We present a review of several very important brief excerpts from scientific reports about these health-care issues in our Pure Water department.

     This is exceptionally important health-care information but it is no longer available to visitors to this website; it is only available to our Americans 4 Justice private education club members      (this department is now protected by a user login code and password code).   A word to the wise person is sufficient notice for our A4J club members about these very important natural health-care issues.

     Do you want to be a wise person about important natural health-care issues? Then keep reading because we have more valuable natural health-care concepts to share with you below. 

     Exercise Equipment:  Our health and wellness store also offered excellent equipment like the remarkable CHI exerciser and quality built best-value rebounder exercisers (40 inch diameter - a mini-trampoline designed especially for indoor use but can also be used outside in good weather).  

     We had both types of exercise equipment on display and visitors could exercise briefly on our display equipment to have a good opportunity to actually experience how these special exercise equipment units perform.  

 Special Exercise Equipment Information

     Many people do not know that rebounding is one of the most important exercises that one can do to help optimize the health of all body cells simultaneously (adults have an estimated 30 trillion body cells).  Yes, rebounding is more beneficial to all body cells than walking or jogging or swimming or any other type of easy exercise that Lon Willoughby is knowledgeable about. 

     Rebounding inside your home is much safer than walking or jogging outside the home.  Rebounding can be done in the comfort of home with music or TV programs, or DVD or CD audio learning programs, irrespective of the weather condition outside the home.  With a rebounder in the home, a person can be safely learning and exercising at the same time, whenever it is convenient to do so.   

     This is truly an outstanding exercise for all family members (young children, teenagers, adults, and senior citizens - they can all enjoy gentle rebounding).  

     IMPORTANT NOTES:  Ten minutes of gentle rebounder exercise once or twice a day is an incredible benefit to all body cells, including the brain, the eyes, the heart, the ears, the liver, the kidneys, the stomach, the pancreas, the entire intestinal system, the entire skin system, and all other body organs and parts (bones, joints, etc.).  All body cells get a gentle gravity massage on every gentle up and down motion bounce. 

     Just a little movement up and down does wonders for body cells due to the way that gravity  massage actions activate the lymphatic system and also activate the blood flow system (causing  greatly improved oxygenation of the blood and thereby improving oxygenation of all body cells). 

      WOW!   Rebounding is an incredible way to exercise, and it takes only a few minutes to get very beneficial results.  Just ten minutes of easy exercise, light bouncing and light and easy running in place, can do wonders for the lymph system and the blood system simultaneously.  Trillions of body cells can quickly benefit from this motion, throughout the entire body, including brain cells.   

     We have additional websites that are not available to the general public (login name and password protected).  However, our Americans 4 Justice private education club members will be given access to some of those websites at the appropriate time for each protected department or protected website. 

     They can then conveniently learn more about the very special types of quality-built exercise units that we used to offer for sale in our natural health-care and wellness store.  Those same equipment units are available for sale on the Internet, and we can direct our A4J club members to those special units at very good discount prices.

     Our special websites provide very important natural health-care and wellness concepts about several vital health-care issues that are not presented at this main  Natural Healthcare and Wellness Concepts Educational website. 

     Important Note:  You may find it helpful and informative to simply scroll down slowly through this ABC's Health Store - Background Info Department to review the numerous ways that we used to offer help to our health store customers for improving their healthy lifestyle action plan in very important ways.  Lon Willoughby still has all of that special knowledge so he can help our "A4J private education club members" improve their natural health-care actions a lot. 

     We can now help individual A4J club members  and A4J club member families greatly improve their knowledge about very important natural health-care and wellness concepts.  This can make a BIG difference in better long-term health - more energy, improved brain power, and increased physical vitality - with the added potential for a healthier and longer lifespan.  Wow!  This is a remarkable natural health-care and wellness education opportunity but it is only available for our "A4J club members."

Quick Summary of Our

Natural Health-care and Wellness Concepts Educational Services

     Natural Health-care Education Services:  We used to offer special health-care and wellness concepts education classes (in our health store classroom) that could educate people about some of our advanced natural health-care, wellness, and fitness concepts.  Lon knows how to teach these concepts in ways that are easy to understand and also easy to use for improving the health and vitality of our A4J private education club members (physically, mentally, and emotionally).

     Better family harmony and performance is possible when A4J family members begin using some of our alternative health type advanced natural health-care and wellness concepts. 

     Our special health-care and wellness concepts can also help people perform better at work (in their chosen career field) - with better brain power and better emotional control.  These very important health-care improvements can enable better human relationship skills with company employees and supervisory personnel, and this can enhance the workplace performance substantially.  

     These very important natural health-care improvements can also result in better work performance and achievement  for the people that may be affected directly by these improved human relationships skills.  This can also improve the work performance of people that are affected indirectly as well.

     Our proprietary and copyrighted natural health-care and wellness concepts are exceptionally important because some of them are major breakthrough advancements in natural health-care and  wellness management concepts.  These very important advanced natural health-care and wellness concepts are available now only to our Americans 4 Justice private education club members.

     Lon and Janie Willoughby have worked together as a competent education team to make these very important and valuable natural health-care and wellness concepts available in a more comprehensive manner with the A4J home-study education services that they developed.  These education services will make it much easier and much more convenient for A4J club members to learn about our special natural health-care and wellness concepts - in the convenience of their home or residence using our Internet based education services.

     "Qualified visitors" can obtain more information about our Advanced Natural Health-care and Wellness Concepts Home-study Educational Services by visiting the Home Department of this website.

     That 15 years long natural health-care and wellness education and work project was accomplished at a very high cost for Lon Willoughby and his wife Janie.  Their corporate natural health and wellness store business usually lost many thousands of dollars each year, and by mid-year 2014, it had cost the two of them and this company more than $1,700,000 - in health store operating losses (employee costs, facility rent, utilities and other operating costs, insurance costs, advertising costs, bank loans - interest costs, etc.) and in Lon's personal lost income - zero income for those 15 years.

     Lon and Janie had to live very conservatively during those years because their income source was Janie's school teacher pay.  Janie retired in 2007 and their income was even less than before.  Their many personal loans to the corporate health store business were a very serious financial burden (they had personally loaned the business more than $600,000 over the years of operation). 

     They refinanced their home three times over those years, to obtain equity money for operating the corporately owned health-care and wellness store, and they still had to borrow twenty thousand dollars on an equity line of credit and also borrow money numerous times on their credit cards to keep moving forward with their corporate health-care and wellness store business ($200,000+ in credit card debt).

     That extensive 15 years project bankrupted Lon and Janie, and they finally closed the health and wellness store business on April 24, 2014.  However, Lon and Janie did not give up and quit working with Lon's exceptionally important natural health-care education objectives, as explained below.

     Question:  If ABC of Health was losing a lot of money with their corporately owned natural health and wellness store business, and if the business was a very heavy financial burden for Lon and Janie, why did they allow the business to continue operating for so many years?   (A very good question.)

     Answer: 

     1.  The natural health-care and wellness store personnel were helping a lot of customers with their natural health-care issues each year, as Lon intended.  However, the amount of health-care help that customers typically allowed us to provide was usually too limited in scope. 

     Most customers were not willing to spend time with us learning about the very important natural health-care and wellness concepts that Lon was willing to share with them.  Only a few customers were willing to pay for a valuable natural health-care consultation session with Lon Willoughby. 

    Unfortunately, most customers had no idea how inadequate their natural health-care and wellness concepts knowledge was, and they did not want to attend the Free classes that Lon was offering them on a weekly basis.  So it was very difficult for Lon to help most customers very much.  However, Lon understood that it was better to provide a little help for our customers than to close down and provide no help to them.

     Customers usually wanted to purchase their products and get on their way quickly.  Lon and our assistant store manager understood those common situations, but Lon did not want to terminate the health-care help that we were providing to many customers every month that went by, even though that help was considerably less than what Lon wanted to provide to our customers.

     2.   Lon was determined to succeed with the very important natural health-care and wellness concepts objectives stated previously, and he knew that he was making progress toward achieving those goals as each year went by.  He and our other store personnel were gaining valuable experiences each year as they worked with hundreds of health store customers - explaining helpful nutrition information to them on an as-needed basis about the more than five hundred health store type nutrition products that we stocked for our customers' benefit and their shopping convenience.

     3.  Lon was also routinely providing helpful information to selected customers about the health-promoting equipment units that we stocked for potential sales to customers - air filtration and air purification equipment, water filtration and water purification equipment, exercise equipment (quality built CHI exercisers and Rebounder exercisers), and Infra-Red Portable Sauna detoxification units.

     4.  So Lon continued to work with our health and wellness store business while he was trying to develop ways to help the business become profitable.  In that regard, he took no salary or wages because the store was not showing any profit, month to month, and year after year.   The normal overhead costs exceeded our profit margin. 

     Lon understood that the store was continuing to accumulate substantial losses and more debt, month after month.  Consequently, he understood that the business could not afford to pay him for his very valuable work in managing and working in our complex health-care and wellness store. 

     Lon was supposed to get paid a modest salary from the store profits on a monthly basis, but the business continued to have losses month after month, and year after year. 

     He and Janie repeatedly had to loan the business more money and also had to borrow more money on their credit cards for store product replenishment inventory purchases, and so they could have funds to responsibly pay our store employees properly (no employee ever missed a normal payday).

    Lon and Janie Willoughby had good credit so they could borrow money on their multiple credit cards at lower interest rates than they borrow money with local bank loans.

     5.  Lon remained somewhat hopeful through the years that he would eventually develop more effective ways to educate our "reluctant" health and wellness store customers.  He wanted to help customers learn how to take important natural health-care actions that could help them improve their lifestyle and take much better care of their very important and valuable natural health assets. 

     However, customers generally showed no significant interest in our very responsible and caring efforts to help educate them about Lon's very important and valuable natural health-care concepts. 

     Lon eventually learned that customers in general did not understand how little they knew about taking good care of their precious natural health. 

     He was continually trying to develop ways to help them understand that they needed more health-care education, but it was a case of "ignorance is bliss" for all customers. This situation is explained in some detail in the "Healthcare Myths - Dangerous Beliefs" Department at this website. 

     Health Store Prices:  health store customers usually understand that they will probably pay somewhat higher prices when they conveniently purchase their health store type products at a local independent health store (compared to deep-discount stores and Internet or mail-order prices). 

     Customers generally do not understand why this is usually necessary:  small independent health stores have much less buying power than the multi-million dollar stores (Costco, Sam's Club, Target, Walmart, etc.), or the large Internet nutrition products outlets, or the large mail-order nutrition products outlets. 

     Small stores generally have to pay 25% to 35% more for their product purchases than the big stores have to pay for their product purchases (for the very same products).  Yes, you're right, that is not really fair, but that is the way the wholesale markets usually work. 

     Big purchases (bulk orders) routinely get substantial discounts off the regular wholesale prices.  The independent health stores' relatively small orders do not get those discounts off of the standard wholesale prices.  Consequently, the small independent health stores cannot compete with the deep-discount prices offered by the big multi-million dollar type businesses.

     In many situations, the small independent stores purchase their products at about the same prices that the deep-discount businesses are selling the same products for (their discounted prices).  So you see, there is no reasonable way for the small stores to compete with those discount prices.

    Most people want to save money by reducing their costs when buying various products.  Our customers were naturally interested in purchasing their health store products at the lowest cost possible, and when they could find the products they wanted cheaper somewhere else, that is where they would usually purchase their products.  This makes sense when taking a short-term view of this situation, but it can be very short-sighted with a longer-term view - it can cost them their life. 

     Most customers will learn how to buy their health store type nutrition supplement products where the prices are lowest (on the Internet, or by mail-order, or at the local big deep-discount stores) and that cost savings objective is usually more important to them than their interest in obtaining very valuable natural health-care information free at their local health store.  Consequently, the small local health stores eventually have to go out of business, and thousands of stores have already closed down.

     Question:  How will that closing situation affect health store type customers in the longer-term? 

     Answer:  Those customers can no longer get the valuable free natural health-care information that could have helped them improve their health-care actions and their lifestyles, and could have probably helped them extend their healthy years, and may have helped them learn how to save their life.

     As a result of those very common situations, by mid-year 2013, most of the local independent health stores in the Greenville, South Carolina area had already closed their business.  All of the important free natural health-care and wellness concepts information that was being provided to thousands of customers by helpful health store employees was no longer available to those customers.  

     ABC of Health was the ninth independent health store to close down in Greenville County.  Since then, a very popular and prominent independent health store has closed down.  That tenth local health store closing was for one of the most successful health stores in the upstate area of South Carolina for many years, but they still had to close their store due to the changing marketplace.

     Even with all of the business advantages available for operating franchised GNC health stores, that national company has also closed hundreds of their nutrition product stores in recent years. 

     Taking a national view of this evolving situation, how is this going to affect the health of millions of American citizens when most of the small health store throughout America have closed their door permanently?  This has been happening on a continuing basis in recent years to the many thousands of small independent health stores that existed in America just ten years ago. 

     The health of the American customers who liked to shop at very helpful health stores will clearly not benefit health-wise from these changing economic conditions.  The health of millions of Americans will be affected adversely by these evolving marketing changes. 

     Health-care actions that are taken by those health-care conscious shoppers will not likely get better or even remain the same over time.  This will affect the new health-care conscious shoppers more than the long-time experienced health store customers.  The new health-care conscious shoppers do not generally have as much natural health-care and wellness shopping knowledge as the more experienced health-care shoppers.  The newer shoppers will not have a convenient and practical way to obtain that very valuable natural health-care and wellness concepts knowledge.

     It was clear to Lon Willoughby that some other form of natural health-care education needed to be  available to health-conscious shoppers throughout America.  Lon understands that most of these people need encouragement on a frequent recurring basis to help them stay on track and continue to do the right things to take good care of their natural health assets.  Why is this necessary?

     There are many temptations in American society that motivate people to do the wrong things for their health - buy fast foods and harmful sweet drinks, buy junk foods loaded with sugar and also  convenience type food products that contain harmful trans fats, buy soft drinks loaded with high-fructose corn syrup (or artificial sweeteners) and have chemical coloring agents, and many contain caffeine stimulates, and all the carbonated drinks are acidic because they must contain adequate acidity or they will not carbonate properly.  There is also frequent temptations to buy cheap nutrition supplement products that contain seriously inferior quality nutrients (especially minerals).

     Unfortunately, those convenient and enticing motivating factors can quickly take the place of the helpful and very valuable natural health-care education and encouragement and motivation that was being provided to customers by the tens of thousands of health store employees throughout the nation (who could not continue working in the thousands of health stores that were rapidly going out of business).   

     It is clear to Lon Willoughby that there is a very important natural health-care and wellness concepts education need that exist now, more than at any time in the last 70+ years.  Americans today have many more temptations in the marketplace to do the wrong things for their health than ever before.  Lon sees and understands these harmful market-driven situations clearly, and he understands their very harmful effects on millions of Americans on a continuous basis.

     The big problem is this:  where can millions of health store customers find a suitable natural health-care and wellness concepts education program to help take the place of the health-care information and encouragement and motivation that was previously being provided at their local independent health store?   Lon has searched the marketplace, and he has not found any natural health-care concepts home-study education program that is suitable for this very important purpose.  

     Fortunately, Lon has learned how to provide much better natural health-care and wellness concepts education than has ever been available for ordinary people in America.  (ordinary people = not health-care practitioners)  Consequently, Lon and Janie Willoughby spent several years developing remarkable advanced natural health-care and wellness concepts home-study education services that  present a major advanced breakthroughs in practical, responsible, and sensible alternative health type natural health-care and wellness concepts education.

     It is important for you to know that Janie is a professional educator with a Masters Degree in Education (Furman University) and more than 38 years of teaching experience.

    Most of that public school teacher experience was in educating high school students in social studies courses (American Government, American History, Economics, and Psychology).  Janie was qualified to teach all of those subjects to high school students, including teaching the advanced classes where smart students earned college credits with special classes while in high school.

     Her advanced teacher education and many years of teaching experience enabled Janie to be a very important person in the development of our Advanced Natural Health-care and Wellness Concepts Home-study Educational Services for members of our Americans 4 Justice private education club.   (A4J club members)

     She uses her special teaching skills to ensure that each section of our education services that Lon personally developed is presented in a way that is easy to read and understand and easy to learn how to use competently. 

     Janie Willoughby is also in charge of developing the American Citizenship portion of our natural health-care and wellness concepts education program services, and her teaching experiences with social studies courses for many years was very valuable in this area of our special A4J education course development. 

    The marketing logistics involved with providing advanced natural health-care and wellness concepts education services for thousands of people are very complex because there are many technical factors to consider carefully, including several very important security issues to consider.

     Lon and Janie have completed their development of our very important and valuable Advanced Natural Health-care and Wellness Concepts Home-study Education Services that can help thousands of selected natural-born American citizens regarding this very important natural health-care and wellness concepts education dilemma.  We will provide more information about our very important natural health-care and wellness concepts education programs later at this website.

Major Decision Time

 More Information About

Our Previous Health Store Business

     Our health store (health food store, natural health and wellness store) offered very good discount prices for many of our nutrition supplement products.  We had hundreds of products at discount prices each Tuesday,  Thursday, and Saturday - 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM for our customers' convenient shopping. 

     On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, our health-care facility was reserved for our health-care classes and our health-care consultation sessions, and other administrative activities and functions. 

     Bonus health-care services: our natural health-care consultant, nutrition consultant, and healthy lifestyle coach (Lon Willoughby) could provide very valuable  "health tips" about many nutrition supplement products for customers shopping in our health store.  Customers could ask him for information about products that might help them achieve their health-care and wellness objectives.  

     Lon's extensive natural health-care and wellness concepts knowledge could help customers make better choices when they were shopping for health promoting products for themselves or for family members. 

     His very helpful nutrition products guidance could save customers time, effort, and a lot of money because they would probably enjoy better and faster health-care improvements than would likely occur without his very helpful and very valuable information about respective nutritional supplements.   

     As you can see from the information above about the natural health-care products and education services that we previously offered, ABC of Health was truly in the Health and Wellness business, in an advanced manner that was comprehensive in scope. 

     We offered the local public a health and wellness facility that was unique - like no other health store or health food store in the Greenville area.  People could visit our facility and check us out because we offered them a convenient opportunity to learn how to improve their lifestyle and their long-term health-care potential - using some of our proprietary trade secrets about advanced health-care concepts.

     As you now know, the founder and president of our parent company, ABC's of Health, Incorporated, is Lonnie Willoughby.  We do business as (dba) the simplified name of ABC of Health because it works better with various types of Internet search engines and it is easier for our clients to remember.

     Over a period of more than 40 years, Lon has diligently studied various health-care practices, and his extensive study and related education actions enabled him to develop remarkable advances in natural health-care concepts, practices, and protocols. 

     We succinctly classify Lon Willoughby's corporate trade secrets as our advanced natural health-care concepts. These are revolutionary major advances in alternative health and complementary health natural health-care and wellness concepts, and they are very valuable natural health-care and wellness concepts. 

     These special natural health-care and wellness concepts were developed gradually over a period of many years, and each new health-care concept development was timely copyrighted to properly protect our corporate ownership of these very important and very valuable advanced natural health-care and wellness concepts corporate trade secrets.

Where Was Our Health and Wellness Facility Located in Mauldin?

     This 3500 square foot facility was in the Golden Strip Shopping Center in downtown Mauldin, SC.  We were very easy to get to and easy to find (beside U.S. Highway 276 - major four lane highway). 

    This shopping center is on the Greenville side of Mauldin, two blocks from the center of town, and it is across the highway (North Main Street) from the Wells Fargo Bank, the Mauldin Post Office, the Palmetto Car Wash, and the Goodyear Auto Service Center.  (The parking lot has Free parking spaces for 150 + cars)  

    We had convenient free parking near the entrance to our Health and Wellness Store.  

     We frequently had parking spaces available right at our entry doorway, and we had a wide protected area like a big covered porch above our doorway.  Consequently, it was easy and convenient to shop with us even when it was raining, and we had umbrellas to help customers get back to their car when it was raining so they did not get wet at that time.

     Natural Health-care and Wellness Education Services:  This website shows that we offer some special natural health-care and wellness concepts that are "Free to Review" (the Home department of this website). We want to help most visitors get motivated to quickly begin improving their lifestyle on a daily basis. 

     We also offer natural health-care and nutrition consultations by telephone for A4J private education club members (living in the upstate area of South Carolina within about  a 50 miles radius of downtown Greenville, South Carolina.  They get a very reasonable fee structure for Lon's consultation services. 

     Lon can conduct convenient telephone consultations that can be very helpful to A4J club member individuals or married couples or families with children. 

     Lon can educate our A4J consultation clients quickly about relevant health-care, wellness, and nutrition concepts that may be very helpful about their health-care issues.  Younger children can learn from their smart well-educated A4J club member parents.

     Telephone consultation services offer the big advantage of being a fast and convenient way for our clients to obtain some very important alternative health and complementary health natural health-care concepts that can be directed to specific health-care issues.  A4J club members can obtain very valuable natural health-care concepts information at a reasonable cost (using a credit card for payment).

     Our company has developed very important and valuable Advanced Natural Health-care Concepts Home-study Education Services for selected natural-born American citizens who are also citizens of South Carolina and live in the upstate area with a permanent residence Zip Code of 296 _ _ or 293 _ _ .   

     Our Advanced Natural Health-care and Wellness Concepts Home-study Education Services enable us to provide comprehensive health-care concepts education regarding a broad range of very important health-care issues: lifestyle, nutrition, and wellness issues. 

     These special A4J health-care concepts education services are more comprehensive than many hours of classroom education could provide for an individual or a married couple. 

     The proprietary copyrighted health-care concepts that we teach in our home-study education services can educate "A4J club members" about our very important and valuable advanced natural health-care concepts (health-care, lifestyle, nutrition, and wellness). 

     Lon knows how to teach these special natural health-care concepts in a manner that is easy to understand, easy to learn, and easy to use for improving a lifestyle in truly remarkable ways.  

     Our natural health-care concepts home-study education services are available only from our company because we have tightly controlled security for sales of our A4J club memberships.

    We own more than 50 copyrighted natural health-care and wellness concepts; many of them will be explained in our Advanced Natural Health-care and Wellness Concepts Home-study Education Services. 

     We are the only company authorized to teach our proprietary and copyrighted natural health-care and wellness concepts corporate trade secrets.

      As you can see from the information presented in this department, we provided a unique Health-care and Wellness Facility in Mauldin for 52 months (In Greenville County for 15 years).  However, it was necessary for us to adjust to the changing marketplace where more and more people were shopping on the Internet or by mail order. 

     We were losing too many customers who were shopping for deep discount prices that our independent health-care store could not offer - as explained herein.

     In addition, we learned that most people did not want to attend the natural health-care concepts classes that we offered at our facility (day or night classes) - we had a very good education facility in a very good location. 

     We can now present an introduction to our advanced level natural health-care concepts home-study education services at local business locations during their business hours.  The business owners or managers may want to help pay the cost for sales of our A4J natural health-care education program services for some of their employees - if they choose to do so.  (A very good business decision in many employee situations.)
