Spring gets us thinking about “spring cleaning” whether it is home, career or our body. Our ancestors could not go to the local store to purchase their food. Instead they were “Seasonal Eaters”, putting away food for the winter. The availability of food corresponded with what our bodies required to be healthy. Foods such as root vegetables, squash and seeds are rich in minerals and stable vitamins to sustain us throughout the winter. Spring is when our bodies start to release the stores of toxins from the dense foods and nature provides us with fresh greens to help detoxify our bodies naturally.

Our target treatment is a drug-free, chemical-free and gentle alternative for blocked pores. The Ultrasonic literally vibrates acne, blackheads and congestion away! Pores can be blocked by oils that have “gone bad” which creates an environment for bacterial growth. The sound waves from Ultrasonic can dissolve and extract these oils, even if the congestion is deep under the skin. After treatment with a natural product, the Ultrasound is used to create channels in the skin for better nutrient absorption. A blue LED lamp reduces any propionibacterium acnes left under the skin. Most people experience a considerable difference after only one treatment.

Feelings of guilt and worry are normal responses when it becomes necessary for someone else to take over the duties of caring for your loved one. Emergency situations or health concerns can take the decision out of our hands. Other times, the decision to admit your loved one to a long term care community is an inch by inch process, with multiple family members weighing in and physicians and friends giving advice. Understand that sometimes professional care is necessary for the safety or comfort of your loved one and/or for you to have some life apart from caregiving.

This is the rousing true story of women in Kirkland Lake, Ontario in the 1940’s who fought to improve conditions for their husbands working in the town’s mines. The women became the heart and soul of a union organizing drive that eventually changed their lives – and the world. The role women have played in Canada’s labour movement is largely untold. It is their efforts that have led to profound social and legislative changes, including the passage of important labour laws. The recent women’s marches seen across Canada and around the world in January of this year also make this story particularly timely and meaningful.
