Medication: Take with Questions!

Medication mix-ups can and do happen. Asking questions is a powerful action that can improve medication safety. It’s easy for even the average person to lose track of what they are taking and how often they are taking it. Ask your pharmacist and other members of your healthcare team about your medications. Be sure to ask questions every time a new medication is prescribed, given, or purchased. And finally, ask questions in the hospital, at the pharmacy, and during healthcare appointments. Questions save lives; it’s safe to ask.

Essential Oils for Snoring

If you have tried all of the pillows, mouth guards, and gadgets advertised to help eliminate your own snoring or your spouse’s snoring, you may want to try essential oils that can assist in alleviating the problem. Diffusers are a great way to use essential oils at night, while some oils can be blended with carrier oils and applied directly to the body. Some of the more commonly used essential oils for snoring include lavender (promotes clear breathing), sage (clears out sinuses), thyme (promotes deeper sleep), cedarwood (stimulates the respiratory system), and marjoram (clears out sinuses).

Bioresonance Therapy for Better Health

The famous opera singer, Ella Fitzgerald, could break a wine glass by singing a note in high C. A principle called resonance plays a central role in the breaking of the wine glass. However, in the health field, this principle is called bioresonance, because it is concerned with living organisms. Sending certain frequencies into a body can affect the health of that person. There are frequencies that destroy toxins and pathogens just like the frequencies that destroyed the wine glass. Other frequencies can be beneficial to cells, tissues, and organs. This is how bioresonance improves one’s health.

Vitamin K2 Has Big Benefits

Vitamin K2 is a little-known vitamin essential for strong, healthy bones, and cardiovascular health. K2 stimulates production of bone-building protein osteocalcin and inhibits bone breakdown, maintaining bone density and decreasing fractures. It supports cardiovascular health by helping to move calcium into bones and away from the arteries. In the Rotterdam Heart Study, people with the highest (vs. lowest) dietary vitamin K2 intake had a 57% lower risk of death from heart disease. Vitamin K2 is available in a vegetarian-friendly, one-a-day, non-GMO supplement providing MK-7 to support strong bones and a healthy heart. Caution – If you are taking blood thinners, consult a health care practitioner prior to using products containing vitamin K. (Refences listed on Wellnessnews.ca)
