Doreen Ingram, author of "My Sanctuary, A Place I Call Home", will be selling autographed copies of her book. The book was written in the voice of a chimp to tell the story of how he was taken from his home in the jungle, trained to be a circus entertainer, then locked in a small cage in a zoo for 50 years and eventually rescued and released to a sanctuary. It is a heartwarming story of hope and love. Doreen will have pictures of the chimps from the stories and bookmarks for sale as well. Please bring change to drop in the box for the chimps.

Heads Up on Probiotics and Yogurt

Probiotics and yogurt are not synonymous. Yogurt cultures are very different from probiotic cultures.
Probiotic bacteria can sometimes be added to yogurt, but the strains are often not specified. Also, the number of live probiotic bacteria in yogurt isn't guaranteed for the shelf life of the product.
Fermented foods such as sauerkraut are better choices for food probiotics.
To ensure you are getting the probiotics you need, a supplement is best. And don't forget to take on an empty stomach.
