It is funded personally by its Founder, Karole Jensen, and through private donations. — They have a valuable network of people that care about these children and who are willing to give time, attention and hard work on their behalf. Their dedication comes from the outrage they feel for the plight of abused abandoned, neglected and missing children. — The Angel Wings program was formally organized following the financial support of the Energizer Senior Tour Championship of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. — This affiliate...

The last doctor just put me on Imatrex and sent me home.      — A friend of mine told me that she had severe headaches too and found out that the aspartame sweetener in her soda was the cause of her headaches.   I didn't drink soda but at that time was drinking at least 8 glasses a day of flavored, aspartame sweetened water.  — I decided to do some experimenting on my own and for the next full week I only drank spring water.  IT WAS A MIRACLE...my headaches were gone.   I couldn't believe that the aspartame sweetener was the cause of more than one year's worth of headaches, but it...
