Energy & Information are the Key to Health

While traditional healthcare has primarily focused on physiology, we now realize that energy and information control biology. Frontier science proves that there is a regulating field of energy and information that operates at the subcellular level in the physical body. At NES Health, they call this the Human Body-Field (HBF) and have researched it for over 30 years. They have discovered that the root causes of physical problems are distortions and blockages in the body-field. A Bio-Energetic Assessment uses a state of the art computer to read the body-field. Decisions regarding treatment can be made from the information gathered.

10 Things that Happen When You Quit Smoking

According to Cancer.org, after only 8 hours of your last cigarette, the oxygen levels in your blood increase. After 12 hours, your carbon monoxide blood levels drop to normal. After 2 days of not smoking, you’ll have heightened senses of smell and taste. 3 days later, your bronchial tubes relax and breathing may feel less labored than before. During the first 9 months smoke free, your shortness of breath will improve, and the tiny cilia hairs in your lungs will regain function, allowing your body to clean your lungs. After 1 full year, your risk of heart disease is about half compared with a smoker. After 15 years of being smoke-free, your risk of a heart attack falls to the same as someone who has never smoked.

Randomness and Probabilities

It is true that tendencies can be predicted with relative accuracy over statistically significant periods of time and play. For instance, if a coin is flipped ten times, it is far more likely to land heads four times than it is to land heads only once. However, each flip is an independent event. Simply put, the coin is a coin: it does not know anything, it does not know how many times it has been flipped, nor does it know how many times it has already landed heads. So each time a coin is flipped, the probability that it will land heads, always remains 50%.

Symptoms of Dementia

Dementia is a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer’s accounts for 70% of all dementias; usually in people over 65 years of age. Each disease affects particular parts of the brain at different stages and presents differently in each individual. Symptoms to watch for with your loved ones include; memory loss, communication and language difficulties, inability to focus and pay attention, poor reasoning and judgment and changes in visual perception. Quality of life for people affected is greatly increased by having access to specialized services and programs.

A Healthy Brain Helps Your Hearing

Did you know that although hearing loss can be hereditary and a natural result of aging, there are proactive steps you can take to keep your hearing sharp and healthy? Your ears receive sounds, but your brain processes all the wonderful, (and maybe not so wonderful) sounds that you hear. So, keeping your brain healthy can help to keep your hearing healthy too. Puzzles like Sudoku, crosswords, and word searches help to maintain healthy brain tissue and the neural connections necessary for processing sensory information. However, if you suspect that you are suffering from hearing loss, be sure to speak to a hearing professional.

Balancing the Blues

As the seasons change, for some so does their sunny disposition. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), often called “winter blues”, affects about 35% of the Canadian population. The usual symptoms include fatigue, sadness and apathy. There are things you can do to help alleviate these symptoms. Managing stress, especially around the holidays, a healthy diet, exercise and seeking the sun are all important ways to combat SAD! If you’re finding no relief, speak to your health care provider and seek treatment. Life is the gift we receive to be enjoyed.

Aging & Knee Pain

When your knees chronically hurt, you are told they are a sign of aging and degeneration, which is very true… but did you know there is a method of treatment to regenerate your knees? Prolozone therapy results in about 75% of chronic pain sufferers to become permanently pain free. Chronic pain occurs in areas of the body that contain ligaments or cartilage, which typically have only 1/10th the circulation that is seen in other connective tissues. This makes them especially vulnerable to the effects of decreased oxygen utilization/aging, which further compromises circulation. Prolozone therapy with procaine, natural anti-inflammatory medications, vitamins and minerals, and ozone gives the tissues what they need to heal.
