Love is the best—some of the time. But what if you’ve been hurt? What if you’ve been betrayed? It can become really difficult to trust people, to trust your own boundaries, to know when to engage and when to walk away. Our instinct is often to protect ourselves, which keeps people safely away but becomes a recipe for loneliness and dissatisfaction. How do you let someone in and feel reasonably confident about it? Counselling is a safe and unbiased place to figure out ways to trust again.

Caroline’s dad was in palliative care. She wanted to continue singing to him as she had been at home, but he was no longer responding verbally or otherwise. Would he, could he hear her? As hearing is the last of our five senses to fail, he would likely hear! Research in music and medicine also shows that select music decreases the body’s stress response. In the case of family being unable to make the music happen on their own, a certified music therapist is trained to support the family through music and a caring presence during this time.

Who’s in charge at home, you or your child’s behaviour? In the day-to-day, does your child pressure you to say yes, when you want to say no? Do you cave, just this once, for the sake of a great day? Children are often very clever at undermining our role as a parent; we need to be in the lead position. Avoid big explanations or defending your actions. Your calm resoluteness will lead them to act out less. Learning to hear and accept “no” is critical for your child to grow into a healthy, vibrant adult. Perhaps, try it out for one week.

While traditional healthcare has primarily focused on physiology, we are now seeing that energy and information control biology. In fact, frontier science proves that there is a regulating field of energy and information that operates in the physical body at the subcellular level. At NES Health, they call this the Human Body-Field (HBF), and they have researched its functions and structures for more than 30 years. In that time, they have discovered that the root causes of physical problems are distortions and blockages in the body-field, which serves as a master control system for all physiological function.

With advancements in medicine, more people are surviving heart attacks, and that’s great news. But recovering from a heart attack comes with its own challenges. About a quarter of seniors feel depressed, afraid, and angry after going through a heart attack, and they need their loved ones. You can help by visiting often (keeping visits short at first) and being encouraging regarding lifestyle and diet changes. Making the same changes to your own lifestyle and diet is a great way to be encouraging and benefit your own health, while helping to ensure that the person who experienced the heart attack doesn’t feel resentful.

Health clinics worldwide are using hyperbaric oxygen to supplement cancer therapy. Recent studies have shown that HBOT in combination with the ketogenic diet increases mean survival time in mice models by up to 75%. This works by starving cancer cells of their main energy source, glucose, and introducing a high oxygen environment. When combined with current conventional treatments, results have been very promising. HBOT is also effective post radiation to prevent bone loss and small vessel damage. Prevention and a healthy lifestyle of consistent exercise, good nutrition, sleep, community involvement and HBOT contributes to improved health outcomes.

A study led by Frank Lin, an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, suggests that hearing loss may also be a risk factor for a huge public health problem: falls. The study found that people with a 25-decibel hearing loss, classified as mild, were nearly three times more likely to have a history of falling. Every additional 10-decibels of hearing loss increased the chances of falling by 1.4 fold.
