Small Town Feel
When Assiniboine Pharmacy opened over 4 years ago, the aim was to bring the small town feel to the big city. The premise was and still is simple – make sure people they serve feel at home. For owners Ryan Buffie and Kris Petersen, both pharmacists who met at the University of Manitoba in the late 1990s, the idea of big, corporate pharmacies void of vital relationships and the subsequent trust it forms between pharmacist and patient, wasn’t where they wanted to be. Assiniboine Pharmacy offers a wide range of services, from free prescription delivery, a VIP program and multiple ways to refill prescriptions, including online and even via an online app.

These molecules communicate with each other to repair or eradicate damaged cells for optimal healthy living. Isn’t it time for you to live your best life?
Pet Health
Healthy Guts in Pets. When pets are young, it is important that the gut barrier be strengthened. Young animals are born with leaky or open guts. This allows absorption of immune system proteins from their mothers’ milk that will protect them from disease. Young pets always need deworming, and sometimes prescriptions, to kill off parasites. The gut remains slightly open to protein absorption throughout life, and so veterinarians use an animal’s excrement to judge and manage reactivities to different foods. Healthy excrement is usually firm, unless the animal is dehydrated. Always consult your veterinarian for the best strengthening programs and medications for your young pets.

The Connection Between Your Eyes and Your Ears
As we age, we’re more susceptible to hearing loss and vision changes. Both conditions can creep up on us, making preventive measures essential to sustaining the quality of life we’re used to. According to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB), you’re at greater risk of social isolation and reduced community participation if you have a vision loss. The same goes for hearing loss. Having both a vision and hearing problem can affect your ability to lip-read, which is detrimental to communicating with co-workers, family, and friends. A decreased ability to socialize is linked to a greater risk of dementia. However, Statistics Canada reports that 90 percent of people with hearing loss can improve communication with a properly fit hearing aid, counseling, or environmental changes.

Benefits of Quitting Smoking
What happens after you quit smoking?
After 1 day: the risk of heart attack begins to decrease.
After 2 days: a person may notice a heightened sense of smell and more vivid tastes as their nerves heal.
After 1 month: in as little as one month, the person’s lung function begins to improve. As the lungs heal and get stronger, the capacity will improve. Former smokers may notice less coughing and shortness of breath, and snoring may even improve.
After 1 year: after one year of quitting, a person’s risk of coronary heart disease is reduced by half.
Optimize Your Life!
We all want to live our best life, but it’s pretty easy to feel off-track. This can sneak up on us – an unsatisfying job, an upsetting event, or feelings about an ex, can lead you to cope in unhelpful ways. Or maybe it’s unclear where this feeling comes from. It can be hard to know how to act confidently towards your goals! How do you think well of yourself when you’re stuck? Counselling is a safe, neutral place to explore what’s next for you, and to feel better about yourself.
Face to Face
We live in an age of much concern over “Fake News”, and misleading online promotions, particularly regarding Health Care, especially Skin Care. How does one verify information concerning Skin Care? Simple: Seek a Face to Face consultation with a Proper Dermatologist, full FRCP(C), not just an online “diploma”. Even then however, you need to check their field of interest. Some Dermatologists have lasers and an interest in Cosmetic Dermatology, some only do medical (ie MSP Dermatology), and others will do their own surgeries. All FRCP(C) Dermatologists will have had years of training in Medical Dermatology. Usually the Dermatologist’s own website will advise you of their particular fields of interest/expertise, if no website, phone their office!
Information and Energy are Key to Health
Have you ever considered that in a state of total wellness, the body’s cells and organs always know what to do, and do it perfectly? The latest science is revealing the mechanisms that allow the body’s optimal functioning, and also what can cause it to lose resilience and efficacy, and to even malfunction. All of the science, along with NES’s extensive research and testing, has demonstrated that the root cause of malfunction – as well as the source of optimal functioning – exists beneath the physiology of the body. We must look to the physics underlying our biochemistry.
