Khalsa Acupuncture Reopening Business In Los Alamos
By Dr. SEVA S.S.S. KHALSA
I’m happy to say that Khalsa Acupuncture is returning to Los Alamos — in the same place as the old place, and in the same room in the Small Business Center.
The previous renter promised to give me first dibs on his space if he left, and sure enough, he needs to be closer to the airport so he’s moving to Albuquerque and he offered me the space beginning in a couple of weeks, so Friday, February 18th will be my first day seeing patients in Los Alamos again.
Exact dates and hours TBD so let me know what you’d like and I’ll be there.

Ringside Seat: Storefront Lenders Lose Battle; War Over 175 Percent Interest Rates Goes On
Rep. Micaela Cadena

All seven supporters of the 36 percent cap are Democrats. Read More
