Game Theory & Common Sense
Game theory is the mathematical study of games that goes beyond the theory of probability to include the behaviour of other players. But most of the time, gamblers do not pay strict attention to probability let alone other more complex mathematical considerations. Despite knowing that the odds are stacked against us, and our money likely lost, we continue to gamble for our own individual reasons. Michael Jordan once said, “I want people to understand, gambling is not a bad thing if you do it within the framework of what it’s meant to be, which is fun and entertaining.”
Medications & Your DNA
Did you know that your unique genetic profile can determine how your body processes certain medications? For some people, they may metabolise drugs too quickly and as a result, get little or no benefit from a particular medication. For other people, they may metabolise medications too slowly and as a result, have an increased risk of side effects. Genetic testing can help to personalise your treatment by using genetic information to customise drug therapy and the doses that work best for you. As your DNA does not change, the testing only needs to be performed one time.
What is Home Care?
Home care services are extensive and varied, depending on the need. Services can include meal preparation, medication reminders, companionship or assisting with errands. Home care services can also include respite care, wound care, serious injury care, or palliative care. Home care is about meeting the most basic, but essential needs such as a friendly face dropping by for a chat or something as intimate and poignant as end-of-life care. Home care is all about trust. It is about feeling comfortable with a home care provider coming into your own private space and, possibly, assisting you with the most intimate care.
Shoulder Pain Relief
To eliminate the pain of frozen shoulder or rotator cuff injuries and to regenerate the joint, especially with osteo-arthritic elements; acupuncture and Prolozone injection therapy are my treatment protocols. Hypoxia or the inadequacy of cellular oxygen reaching the body’s tissues causes degeneration in the ligaments. Prolozone is excellent for all forms of musculo-skeletal and joint pain including chronic neck & back pain, rotator cuff injuries, degenerative & arthritic hips & knees, degenerated discs, & shoulder & elbow pain. Because 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.
The Tortoise and the Hare
There are many approaches to investing. The more popular stories in the media revolve around the next big thing company going public, or making big money fast in pot stocks. And sometimes it works well, you may even know of people who boasted their big pot stock wins. What you rarely hear about is how often a concentrated bet doesn’t work out, people don’t like to mention that. With a number of high profile IPO’s (initial public offering) happening this year, don’t believe the hype. There will be more losers than winners. When it comes to long term financial health and wealth, the Tortoise always wins.
Managing Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome occurs from increased waist circumference, elevated blood pressure, high triglycerides, elevated blood sugar, and low HDL cholesterol: Together these increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, and diabetes. But you can fight back by maintaining a regular active lifestyle – this helps improves insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, and body fat composition. Center your diet around local, seasonal vegetables, fruits, and high quality protein from grass fed and pastured meat, poultry, and eggs, plus seafood and omega 3 fatty acids. Also, plant sterols may be effective in helping manage body fat percentage and maintain a healthy body composition, while also optimizing the balance of HDL to LDL cholesterol.
Acupuncture Supports a Healthy Pregnancy
Acupuncture treatments are a safe, drug-free way to enhance the good development of your pregnancy. Acupuncture can help supplement, regulate and harmonize the processes that are taking place in the body, and supports recovery once baby arrives. Labour preparation acupuncture from week 36 on supports ripening of the cervix and the relaxing and softening of the pelvic ligaments and tendons so that the baby gate will open easily. It also strengthens the mother’s stamina to labour and ensures that internal conditions are optimal for baby to stay in good position to spin and descend.

Nature and Climate Change
Climate change is real, and Nature is sending us a clear message through fires, drought, floods and more intense storms because of our disconnection from Nature. World strife, urban sprawl, less education in our schools about Nature and our own disregard of our surroundings have put us on notice. Reconnecting with Nature leads to unlimited health benefits, less war, more respect for people and animals and a higher regard for our environment.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Health clinics worldwide are using hyperbaric oxygen to supplement cancer therapy. Recent studies have shown that HBOT in combination with the ketogenic diet increases mean survival time in mice models by up to 75%. This works by starving cancer cells of their main energy source, glucose, and introducing a high oxygen environment. When combined with current conventional treatments, results have been very promising. HBOT is also effective post radiation to prevent bone loss and small vessel damage. Prevention and a healthy lifestyle of consistent exercise, good nutrition, sleep, community involvement and HBOT contributes to improved health outcomes.
