Learning Library - Katie's Story
How We Got Our Start
"I started this company...sort of."
Eighteen years ago, I was diagnosed
with six different airborne allergies. That's what got my parents, Ryner & Evelyn Wittgens, involved in trying to find different products
that could help me feel better. It wasn't easy because the products my
allergist asked them to get weren't available locally - if at all.
Eventually, they located all the products... and they really
worked! I improved wonderfully, just as the allergist had
predicted. My dad was so thrilled and had learned so much that he decided
to start a company so that these products would be available
nationwide - at discount prices. It would also give physicians a reliable place to refer their patients with problems
similar to mine. Well that was 18 years ago, and the company is still doing
what my dad set out to do. We've become the largest company of our
kind, dad has retired, and we are now an employee owned company. But what really matters most is that we're helping more and more people find affordable, non-drug ways to feel better.
