Vitamin D, produced by the body in response to sunlight, is a key hormone whose deficiency has been implicated in over 100 diseases. From October to April, low “D” levels are very common in Canada as the sun is too low in the sky is to stimulate Vitamin D. Getting “D” from your diet is difficult, so supplementation makes sense. Even better is to get your “D” from light – either a quick trip to the sun – or stopping by and using the Solius booth at the Wellness Garage. Solius stimulate 10x more Vitamin D with 100x less UV energy, making it a safe and natural way to get your “D”.

The human body is an electrical being and the health of it depends on the energy currents that run through it. When the body suffers a trauma (sprain, fatigue, infection, etc.), it encapsulates itself in some manner for healing purposes (inflammation, swelling, spasm, etc.). Normally free-flowing currents are disrupted and will circumvent the area of trauma and travel around it. This happens because electrical currents always take the path of least resistance (best conduction), so the flow of electricity in the traumatized area is significantly reduced. Enhanced micro-current treatment applied appropriately to the involved tissues or organ pathways can restore and recover optimal self-regulation functions.

Students who struggle at school often feel held back, defeated and discouraged. If they are able to get to the root of their learning difficulties by strengthening and growing their brain pathways, school becomes less tiring and challenging. Students start to take risks with learning as now, when they try, they are actually able to succeed! Feeling empowered in this way enables students to start making future plans and to believe that such plans will actually come to fruition. They are able to see how their efforts can manifest into things they might have never thought were possible!

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is commonly seen in sports such as soccer, rugby, and skiing. Although many individuals initially recover well, the ongoing instability often prevents return to sports and leads to further knee injury, and the risk of developing future osteoarthritis becomes increased. Bracing is rarely sufficient. Surgical reconstruction performed early, within 3-6 weeks, helps to minimize the risk of further injury. ACL surgery should be treated as an urgent matter: assessment, diagnosis, and surgery can usually be completed within a few weeks. The athlete, elite, or weekend-warrior can then start early rehabilitation to maximize the benefits of the knee reconstruction.
