Health fair this weekend

Benchmark Integrative Medicine, LLC is offering a unique health fair, with the primary emphasis on pain management, this Saturday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at its Peachtree City location.

The clinic has also installed a highly sophisticated computer analysis system that analyzes the patient's blood, urine, and saliva. The information gained from this fasting assessment, provides a more scientific measurement of cellular function and nutritional and mineral deficiencies. With this assessment, specific recommendations can be made to the patient to help correct the deficiencies that should lead to improve cellular function, which translates into improved health. Dr. Morissette will be presenting a seminar at the health fair and will offer more detailed information on this very unique technology.
