Treat the cause, not the symptoms. More than 20 million Canadians suffer from digestive disorders every year. Whether it’s heartburn, reflux, indigestion, abdominal pain, bloating, irritable bowel, or colitis, those suffering seldom find long-term solutions. Conventional medicines offer temporary relief, but rarely address the cause. If you do not find the cause, the symptoms will continue to worsen. One of the best ways to determine the cause of your condition is with nutritional testing. This non-invasive testing will let you know if you are lacking specific nutrients essential for proper digestion. If deficiencies are found, specific nutritional formulations can be given to address the cause and heal the area.

Aging at Home
85% of seniors have done nothing to prepare their home for aging. It is important to be aware of the day-to-day tasks your loved one may face and assess the risks accordingly.

These include chairlifts, ramps, rails, reaching tools, grabbers, and remote controls. These changes can also reduce stress for them. Minimizing risks and making a home safe is so important. Let’s support our loved ones in living healthy, independent, enjoyable lives.
Winter is Coming!
Amputees can sometimes experience difficulties in icy conditions. With winter on the way, proper footwear is very important. Wear shoes that have good grip. If you do have a balance problem or are using an assistive device, have someone else clear your steps and sidewalk, and be sure to throw sand or salt down to decrease ice buildup. It’s a good idea to install rails next to steps to give you something secure to hold on to. Finally, have a cellphone or some type of device with you to call for help if you slip and fall.
Hormonal Imbalance Signs
Did you know that hormones travel through the bloodstream to the tissues and organs, delivering messages to your body systems about your physiology and behavior, such as digestion, metabolism, respiration, tissue function, sleep, stress, growth, movement, reproduction, and mood? So, a hormonal imbalance is a big deal. Symptoms associated with the more common causes of hormonal imbalances include: unexplained weight gain or weight loss, excessive sweating, dry skin, rashes, trouble sleeping, depression, headaches, reduced libido, blurred vision, excessive use of the washroom, breast tenderness, long-term fatigue, and deepening of the voice in females. Bioresonance Therapy is a natural approach that balances your hormones at the same time detoxifies your organs and helps eliminates toxins in your body.
Fight Diabetes with Far-Infrared
Type II diabetes is rapidly becoming an epidemic in our overweight Western culture. Many people are turning to yoga, fitness, and meditation as ways to help fight diabetes.

Being able to move and exercise more can help those with type II diabetes manage their condition more effectively, as well as help them to keep the weight off. In addition, far-infrared heat can improve skin tone and reduce inflammation.
Preparing for Personal Care
It’s important to keep your financial affairs in order, as well as your wishes for your personal care, in the event that you are unable to make decisions regarding your finances and care in the future. Putting together a Power of Attorney for Personal Care document ensures that someone you trust will make decisions about your health care, safety, medical treatment, housing, diet, clothing, and hygiene when you are unable to do so. Usually, people select a spouse, relative, or close friend and give them power over their personal care. This document must be signed by you in front of witnesses to be legal.
Improve Focus and Concentration Naturally
Very often, the brain and nervous system become fatigued and overloaded. Much like a computer receiving too much data all at once, the brain can become overwhelmed, slow down, or even crash. This can result in an inability to focus, brain fog, memory loss, ADD/ADHS-like symptoms, a “wired” feeling, or the inability to cope with daily life. The key to turning these conditions around is to give the body what it needs to strengthen specific areas of the brain and nervous system. This can be achieved naturally with specialized nutritional formulations, which will replenish the body and alleviate symptoms.
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).
