Healing Through Blood Flow

BEMER is changing the way we think about our health, challenging our understanding of the human body, and empowering us to reach optimal physical condition in a natural, non-invasive way. If micro-circulation to each cell is improved, cardiac function is enhanced, strength and energy increase, mental acuity and concentration are improved, detoxification processes improve, stress is reduced and sleep improves! ALL 100 trillion cells in the body are affected by blood flow, so ALL cells have a chance at healing. Imagine feeling better tomorrow than you do today!

Optimize Your Immune System

We must all focus on the importance of a healthy immune system as the real protection against any virus or bacteria. A healthy immune system requires a healthy nervous system, removing stress and preexisting trauma to achieve a balanced state. Also, making sure to eat healthy and natural foods so you have all the required minerals, vitamins and a good pH balance in the body. A remote NES scan can show the priorities to focus on in order to achieve and maintain a healthy and balanced state. Get well – Stay well!

The Mind-Body Connection

We live in a mechanical age where the connection between your mind and body is little recognized. For most people, this means little more than diet and exercise, but the power of your mind goes much further. Hypnosis can significantly change your white blood cell count and vary the ratio of your immune cells either way, depending on your focus. At MindStrengthBalance.com we specialize in medical support and performance enhancement. We’re offering a free self-hypnosis audio file to boost your lung health.

Rejuvenate Your Relationships During Covid-19

Try connecting with friends and family through online platforms like Zoom, Facetime, or Whatsapp. Although we have the limits of social distancing and the request to self-isolate, this gives us an opportunity to connect with our loved ones to a greater degree. Too often we get too busy with our lives that we do not spend the time so essential to building our closest relationships. Finding ways to rejuvenate your relationship with your loved ones is such an important aspect for self-care, and for loving connectedness that builds resilience in such uncertain times.

Sleep is Important for Overall Health

Sleep is a foundational component of our health. Sleep is when we regenerate, repair and heal. We age faster if we are not sleeping well. Poor sleep is known to be linked to increases in diabetes, heart disease and neurodegenerative conditions. Sleep issues are often multifactorial. They can be a combination of poor sleep hygiene, side-effects from medication, stress, eating too late, hormone imbalance, over-consumption of stimulants and excess screen time. If you or someone you know is experiencing poor sleep or insomnia, let us help you develop a customized treatment plan and get you back to feeling energetic and fully rested.

Eliminate Pain & Regenerate Joints

To eliminate the pain of any form of musculo-skeletal injury and to regenerate any joint, especially with osteo-arthritic elements; acupuncture and Prolozone injection therapy are my treatment protocols. Each component of Prolozone therapy has a specific biological purpose. Procaine acts to re-establish cellular membrane potentials. Anti-inflammatory agents decrease edema and swelling. The inclusion of vitamins and minerals provides necessary substrates of oxygen utilization that in damaged tissues are often deficient. And finally, oxygen utilization is directly stimulated by ozone. In many cases Prolozone actually corrects the pathology of the disorder, there is a 75% chance for the chronic pain sufferer to
becoming permanently pain free.

Sound Therapy for Relaxation

During difficult times, you can use sound and soothing music to help with relaxation. Try this simple exercise: sit quietly for a few moments and then think of a very loving experience. As you think of this loving experience, begin to sound a very gentle “ah” sound. Make this sound as a long, extended sound: “Aaaaaahhhhh” and think about love, peace and calm. Feel your heart chakra resonate with this sound. Feel your heart center opening, balancing and aligning with this energy. The “ah” sound is excellent for working with the energy of the heart center and triggering relaxation.

Self Care in Trying Times

Today, with changes in our activities and interrupted routines, building self-care into our day to reduce stress becomes even more essential. Some self-care ideas include •Exercise •Practicing deep breathing •Taking a bath •Taking a break from the digital world. Please stay at home as much as possible and practise physical distancing when you go out. At Medicine Shoppe, we take safety very seriously. To allow for extra cleaning, our hours have been temporarily reduced to Mon-Fri 10 – 5 and Sat 10 – 4. We limit customers to two at a time. We also offer free delivery or curbside pick-up.

Coronavirus & Your Mental Health

What should you do if your mental health is suffering during self-isolation? Here are some tips: 1. Maintain routine. It helps to manage anxiety and will help you to adapt more quickly to this current reality. 2. Engage with Nature. Make the most of any private outdoor space you have. Getting sunshine is imperative for a healthy mind. 3. Try something new. Now is a great time to learn how to sew or tackle a DIY project. 4. Limit your news intake. A near-constant stream of news reports about an outbreak can cause anyone to feel distressed. 5. Stay connected. Download a video chat app and have fun chatting with friends and family.
