Campbell River Threshold Singers

Pure Joy Threshold Choir sings at many thresholds of life. This choir of 15 individuals from Quadra Island and Campbell River sings to those in palliative care/hospice, to shut-ins, newborns, and at celebrations of life. The Threshold Choir is non-denominational and serves religious and non-religious clients. Songs are short and are selected according to the client’s taste. When singing at bedside, 2 to 4 members attend and sing in soft voices. This service is free and the choir sings by invitation only. To make a request, or join the choir, contact Mary at (250) 202-1003. *There is also a Comox Chapter, information to come.

Power of Light for Cellular Healing

Photobiomodulation is an evidence-based therapy that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate healing at the cellular level. The ARRC Elysium LED Bed combines six optimized light wavelengths with pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) to reduce inflammation and pain, improve circulation, and enhance energy production (ATP). By supporting mitochondrial function, this therapy promotes recovery, resilience, and overall cellular performance. Benefits may extend to the nervous system, immune system, muscles, joints, and skin. By lowering oxidative stress and calming inflammatory signaling, photobiomodulation supports whole-body healing and helps patients feel restored, energized, and balanced.

Spooky2 11-Day Remote Detox

Developed by John White, Spooky2 applies low-intensity frequency wellness technology to explore support for the body’s natural detoxification and regulatory processes. The 11-Day Remote Detox delivers programmed frequency sets remotely, designed to engage biofeedback responses associated with lymphatic activity, cellular communication, and nervous system regulation.

Participants commonly report improved energy, mental clarity, better sleep, and reduced inflammation. Research in frequency-based wellness suggests targeted frequencies may interact with biological systems without physical intervention. 11-Day Remote Detox $222

Heart Health, Hearing Health

Healthy aging starts with caring for both your heart and your hearing. Research shows a strong connection between cardiovascular health and hearing health. The inner ear relies on steady blood flow to deliver oxygen and nutrients, and reduced circulation can damage delicate hair cells, leading to hearing loss. Supporting heart health through regular exercise, a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, stress management and quitting smoking can also help protect hearing. Conditions such as high blood pressure can affect blood flow to the ears, making regular checkups essential. At Beltone, we support healthy aging with free hearing assessments and innovative hearing solutions to help you hear your best at every stage of life.

February is Heart Health Month

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, often goes unrecognized and untreated because there are no symptoms. Your pharmacist can help you reduce your risk for heart attack and stroke, by: 1. Reviewing your medications, helping you take them as prescribed and managing potential side effects. 2. Teaching you how to use a blood pressure monitoring device properly and testing your blood pressure regularly. 3. Advising you how to maintain a healthy weight, and a diet that’s low in sodium. and 4. Guiding you through a step-by-step quit smoking plan. Learn more about how to keep your blood pressure under control by speaking with your pharmacist.
