Whether your mobility has been impacted by Parkinson’s, MS, a stroke, or knee or hip trouble, the AJ Pedal Wheelchair is designed to get you moving again. Like a bike, it’s powered by you – so you can reconnect with your body, rebuild muscle tone and improve your cardiovascular system. Designed to maneuver in tight spaces like narrow halls and doorways, the AJ rides easily into elevators, buildings and shopping centres. More robust than a wheelchair, the AJ allows you to pedal through parks, along sidewalks and even ride public transit. One-handed, dual hydraulic brakes allow you to stop quickly with just a gentle squeeze of the brake handle. The comfort-ride shock and pneumatic tires keep you comfortable and confidently in control. Each AJ is hand built in Victoria, BC, using the highest grade aluminum and other durable materials for a safe and sturdy ride.
Alcohol Free Elixirs
Ancient wisdom describes an elixir as a magical or medicinal potion designed to cure. Solbrü has redefined a modern elixir as a liquid infusion of herbs that serves a function in the body. They have soulfully infused a blend of balancing herbs and adaptogenic mushrooms, to raise vibes and ground souls. Their Brü replaces alcoholic spirits in a sophisticated way, with its own unique flavours and novel functionality, delivering a bold authentic bite without the hangover. Drink it as a shot, sip it on the rocks; or enjoy it in an AF (alcohol-free) cocktail. Pour over a glass of nut or oat milk or mix it with orange or grapefruit juice for an extra Vitamin C punch.

What’s the Human Body-Field?
While traditional healthcare has primarily focused on physiology, we are now seeing that energy and information control biology. In fact, frontier science proves that there is a regulating field of energy and information that operates in the physical body at the subcellular level. At NES Health, they call this the Human Body-Field (HBF), and they have researched its functions and structures for more than 30 years. In that time, they have discovered that the root causes of physical problems are distortions and blockages in the body-field, which serves as a master control system for all physiological function.
The Goddess Run
Running can be challenging, rewarding and enjoyable at the same time. However, if you are starting out, you may feel that it’s definitely more challenging, as opposed to enjoyable. If you want to run longer while enjoying the training, then it’s important to make the process both fun and manageable. The more time you give yourself to work towards your goal, the less likely you are to injure yourself while trying to cram too much training into a short period of time. The Goddess Run is the perfect opportunity to safely take your running to the next level while having fun.

Effective Treatment for Tendon Injury
Tendonitis is an acutely inflamed/swollen tendon, while tendinosis, on the other hand, is a chronically damaged tendon with necrotic tissue. Common tendon injuries include: Achilles tendonitis/osis, Plantar fasciitis/osis, Long Head of Biceps tendonitis/osis. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that involves creating a series of low energy acoustic wave pulsations that are applied to the tendon. It is designed to create breakdown and inflammation in the tendon to stimulate new blood vessel formation. ESWT in conjunction with active rehabilitation & Class IV Laser has proven to be an effective treatment for tendon injury.

Benefits of Home Care for Seniors
For many Canadian seniors, home health care is a key part of aging safely at home. Whether seniors need medical services, personal care, meal preparation, transportation, housekeeping or companionship, home care can help them live independently at home, for as long as possible. Caregivers help family members by delivering expert care that gives everyone peace-of-mind and relieves any feelings of caregiving being “burdensome.” A professional caregiver also will enjoy socializing by chatting, engaging in activities like puzzles or crafts and listening to music. Talk to your family about aging in place safely, with the supports you need.
Ask The Expert
Q: I’m studying units of measurement in my science class. Do eye exams use the metric system?
A: For the most part worldwide, yes. We use millimeters for most eyeglasses measurements, and for some biometric measurements. Lens powers are noted in diopters, which are derived from focal length measurements in meters. But the imperial system is still often referenced for visual acuity. For example, 20/40 means that the resolution at 20 feet is comparable to 40 feet in someone with normal human acuity.
Your First Vega Testing Appointment
On your first appointment, we gather information by testing all of the organs to see if there are any imbalances throughout your body. Imbalances can be described as inflammation, digestive issues, sensitivities to food and environment, infection, fatigue, constant headaches and more. I then test for food sensitivities and together with the results from the organ testing we have a clearer picture of what is happening in your body. Using a combination of supplements, herbal remedies, nutrition, diet & lifestyle changes to ensure your success, you can use my recommendations to start your healing journey. I am here to support you.
