    Chiropractic changed my life, I used to suffer from Vertigo which made it difficult to function at work. After I went to Dr. Hall, he made some corrections and I never suffered from Vertigo again. Despite what you might think of Chiropractic, I'm so glad I took your advice to see Dr. Hall even though I was skeptical.

      Yes, I was very surprised as well. It was my friend who pointed out their flower's to me, even then I couldn't believe it. But turns out it's native to the Southern US, called Passiflora incarnata, if you wanted to research more about it.

Instead, it's not considered (much like squirrel, opossum, etc) even though you can buy one for $40 bucks.

      Thank you Josh! Thankfully $3-$4 a log is the going rate around here. I have cedar trees on our property but not enough that I'd be willing to clear all out. In the winter I like to see the green from the cedar so I've rarely taken any down.
