Dr. Myron Wentz – founder of USANA – has launched a new website at www.drwentz.com. You can register to receive a weekly email from Dr. Wentz that will give you a first-hand look at Dr. Wentz' projects involving USANA, Sanoviv and the Children's Hunger Fund. As well, Dr. Wentz' will provide thoughts and insight on current events and health related issues.
Here's an excerpt from the site that outlines some of Dr. Wentz' good work:
Over the past eight years, Wentz has traveled with CHF to poverty-stricken and war-torn areas in Central America, Eastern Europe and East Africa. In the summer of 2004, he traveled to northern Uganda, where he visited several impoverished refugee camps. One camp was home to 33,000 children for whom disease and malnutrition were a way of life. Driven to action by that experience, Wentz partnered with CHF to send food to the camp’s children and help families begin building homes and growing crops. In a year, malnutrition was reduced by 90 percent and the refugee population was reduced by more than 60 percent.
Fueled by this success, Wentz resolved to establish a state-of-the-art medical center for the diagnosis and prevention of disease in Uganda. Wentz not only provided the funding, he also personally selected and purchased all of the diagnostic equipment for the laboratory. Wentz and CHF opened the Wentz Medical Centre in Gaba, Uganda in August 2005. The state-of-the-art facility serves a community of 300,000 people, many of whom suffer from HIV/AIDS or have been orphaned by the disease. The facility provides both educational training and diagnostic care for women and children, including testing for malaria, HIV and intestinal viruses.
A second Wentz Medical Centre will serve children in Cambodia who have been affected by diseases such as malaria and HIV. Wentz continues to travel worldwide as a medical missionary for CHF.
