Health doesn’t have to be a compromise and chronic disease doesn’t have to be your life sentence.
Homeopathy offers a holistic and complementary treatment for both chronic and acute diseases. It individualizes patient care by focusing on how symptoms of disease manifest in you, and not on the disease itself. Using homeopathy, chronic disease is manageable in a gentle, permanent, and rapid manner.
After taking an in-depth look at your emotional, physical, and mental symptoms, your homeopath will create an individualized treatment plan. This is typically the prescription of a homeopathic remedy specific to your case, but may also include dietary and lifestyle changes. Sundragon Studios, SunDragonStudios.wixsite.com/sundragonstudios

Detox with Distilled Water
Did you know that even some of the purest water on the planet is teeming with impurities? Fresh mountain spring water, for instance, is sometimes chock-full of microorganisms and heavy metals. Your tap water – which you probably expect to be safe – is also often full of chemicals. Trying to detoxify your body using water that contains these types of impurities seems a little counterproductive, doesn’t it? Distilled water revitalizes your body by flushing out toxins and enabling your body to function as it should. Try it – you may be surprised at how much more “alive” you’ll feel after increasing your daily level of distilled water! WorldOfWater.ca

Never Stop Dating!
You found love and are expecting it to be until ‘til death do you part. It is so important to remember to always nurture your relationship and never take it for granted. Keep in mind the planning that went into dates before you were married. You always carefully chose what you were going to wear. You put great effort into arranging the date and presented as your best. This must be maintained to continue to fall in love with your partner each day. Far too often people become complacent and stop putting the effort into one another that they did when they were trying to capture their partner’s heart. Now that you have it, by all means cherish it! Lianne Tregobov, Camelot Introductions, CamelotIntroductions.com

What Do Denturists Do?
Denturists help those who are missing some or all of their natural teeth. They design, repair, reline, and make removable dental appliances. Your denturist will collaborate with you, your family, and other healthcare professionals to promote and maintain your oral health.
When making a set of dentures, the objectives are:
• supporting and protecting your gums and the bones in your mouth;
• enhancing your face and holding your jaws the proper distance apart;
• carefully choosing individual teeth to match what you already have; and
• allowing you to speak clearly and chew without stress.

Reversing Late-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease
This January, my dad was diagnosed with advanced late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. I wanted to find measures to delay the progress of the disease. I contacted my nephew, a neurologist, who told me there’s no treatment to reverse the condition and that all of the options are for delaying the progression. I chose the transdermal treatment because of fewer digestive adverse effects. My dad also began to take a nutritional supplement. Last month, my sister, an RN, visited Korea and found my dad’s brain function much better than the last time she saw him. Yong Han Lee, Re Vitamins of Charleswood, www.facebook.com/revitamins
Have You Had Your Probiotic Today?
Probiotics play a key role in the body by improving gastrointestinal functions, enhancing immunity, regulating hormones, protecting us from food-borne illnesses, controlling overgrowth of bad bacteria, and assisting in vitamin production & nutrient absorption. Here’s what to look for in your probiotic:
1. High culture count – Culture count refers to the total amount of live bacterial cultures in a single serving i.e. 50 Billion cfu (colony forming units)
2. Number of strains – There are over a thousand strains of beneficial bacteria in the gut. Look for multiple strains of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria.
3. Make sure the capsule is designed to protect probiotics – Enteric coated capsules remain intact throughout the harsh stomach environment and begin dissolving in the intestine where the pH is more alkaline.
All of these factors can be found in the Ultimate Flora line of probiotics by Renew Life.
