Vitamins & Supplements
Pharmaceutical grade supplements are nutrients (minerals, amino acids, vitamins, fats, etc,) that are manufactured in a standardized, consistent and high-quality manner. Companies that make pharmaceutical grade supplements or nutrients are independently certified and inspected by a third party for good manufacturing practices. In the nutrient industry, there are several third-party organizations that are known to evaluate and set this standard.
A broad spectrum of quality supplements hand picked by Dr. Speight are available through the clinic. Contact our office for more information. 704-847-2022 or email centerforwellness@gmail.com. Shipping is also offered for your convenience.

If you cannot bear to replace your morning coffee with a cup of green tea, try taking green tea extract. Green tea has powerfull antioxidant qualities and has been used for centuries as a natural medicine in many Asian cultures.
Also, be aware that if you are taking prescription medications, there are many that can deplete your nutritional status and in turn reduce your body’s own natural defenses. Consider having a nutritional assay to evaluate whether you are taking too much or too little of any particular nutrient.

What Patients Are Saying
My coworkers and friends keep asking me how I lost all the weight, and I tell them Dr. Speight discovered the root cause of my health issues. Thanks to you I feel better than I have in years!!!
After ten years of being so ill, I feel fortunate to finally get my life back again. I am so grateful to have a doctor who stays current with new treatments and never gives up on the patient. I wanted to tell my story to give you hope that there is help and tell you to never give up.
What a concept: a doctor who actually listens to the patient, has no agenda other than to heal, and knows how to treat a toxic brain injury! I’ve made a dramatic recovery and have thrown away my medication.
