Dr. Frank M. Painter was first introduced to Shaklee nutrition in March of 1997.   Previously, he had been taking supplements, and felt "reassured" that he was doing the right thing for his health.   His sponsor challenged him to try the "High Energy Wellness Program" (today that would include Vitalizer and the Energizing Soy or Cinch Shake). Within a month he noticed significant improvements in his energy, endurance, and concentration.   Since that time he has whole-heartedly recommended Shaklee products to his patients.

Frank developed an interest in clinical research while attending Palmer College of Chiropractic.   While he was there he participated in several research projects, and he also worked part-time in the Palmer Research department.   Dr. Painter graduated with Research Honors, and was later honored with a “Doctor-of-the-Year” award at the 1997 Centennial of Education Homecoming in Davenport, IA.   That plaque now proudly hangs in his office!

Frank had already been a contributor to the most-visited, non-commercial Chiropractic web site www.Chiro.Org. When he was introduced to Shaklee products, he then created the Nutrition Section www.Chiro.Org/nutrition/ to gather non-solicitous, research-based information about the benefits of supplementation.   He also attended weekly nutrition meetings for 2 years at the home of Barbara Lagoni, where his knowledge and enthusiasm for supplementation continued to grow.  

Although the Nutrition Section does not mention Shaklee products by name, when you look at the list of supplements you will find that the “generic” supplement names are all related to Shaklee products.   For example, the ACIDOPHILUS section relates to the Optiflora system, BIOFLAVONOIDS relates to FlavoMax, etc. etc.

Dr. Painter was deeply honored when Dr. Miller approached him in 2006 to take over the reins of HealthQuest Newsletter!   He is pledged to continue with Bruce's tradition of maintaining a newsletter that is both research-oriented and easily accessible to the Shaklee field.
