I am stuck and probably should put this away for a bit and then come back to it but I have my moments of stubbornness.
In phpMyAdmin, this return 5 rows of data
SELECT * FROM health_stats
In my PHP file, this return only 1 row; the first row
#get stats name first
$this->query = "SELECT * FROM health_stats";
$this->db->runQuery($this->query);
$qresults = $this->db->getQueryResults();
$health_stats = mysql_fetch_array($qresults, MYSQL_ASSOC);
print_r($health_stats);
