Total Water Cleaners

Water is vital…it is the essence of life. Did you know that your body can be made up of as much as 70% water. Water is the most important resource we have and most people take it for granted. You can survive weeks without food, but go just one day without water and your body becomes stressed. Go a few days without water, and they may be your last. The blood vessels of your body carry the nutrients of life to every part of your body, just like the rivers and streams are the life force of the land. Where there is water, there is life.

Total Water Cleaner’s “Whole Home Water Cleaner” will provide you and your family with healthy, chlorine-free, chemical free water for all of your daily uses. Whether you’re drinking it, cooking with it, or showering and bathing your kids in it, you will feel the difference clean water makes.

Dr. Eduardo Barreto

Welcome!

In Colombia, Dr. Barreto was trained as a medical doctor, then went on to specialize in alternative medicine, studying homeopathy, acupuncture, and a variety of other modalities. He worked for over fifteen years as a family physician, providing mainstream as well as alternative health care. In that time, he learned the importance of taking the time to see patients holistically (spirit, mind and body) and that a healthy lifestyle is fundamental in the prevention, treatment and recuperation from pain and illness.

Dr. Barreto continued his studies after moving to Canada, and is currently a full member of the Pan European Federation of Traditional Chinese Medicine Societies and a certified Natural Health Consultant. As well, Dr. Barreto works with ACU-acupuncture Services Ltd., teaching Introductory and Advanced Certificate courses and workshops to healthcare professionals wanting to expand their skills and knowledge in acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

He will ask you questions about yourself and your health, and among other things, he will be looking at how you move your body and how you react to stress. Each consultation is a chance for you to better understand yourself and your health. It is important to express yourself honestly, since the better Dr. Barreto understands your nature, the easier it will be to find the best remedy for you.

ReVitamins of Charleswood

Now Open! Herbs & Supplements Hand-picked by Vitamin Guru Yong Lee.

Quite different product lineup from other vitamin stores.

I got a medical degree in South Korea, and came to Canada because I couldn’t find the solution of my health problem, consistent headache and mild depression.

In Korea, I tried main stream medical prescription drugs and Chinese herbal medicine but to no avail.

I came to Canada for refreshment because I thought new environment would relieve the symptom.

Then, I became interested in ortho-molecular  medicine and nutritional or herbal remedy for my symptom, and found the solution for my symptom, voilà!!

My strength lies on solutions for aging, memory loss, and fatigue. And my store is ready for other problems too.

Origins of Acupuncture

The origins of acupuncture are lost in antiquity. It has survived at least 3000 years as a major healing technique now used in Modern Chinese Traditional Medicine and is respected as an effective alternative treatment modality by Western Medical authorities and Health Insurance Providers. Acupuncture is widely used to treat all types of pain, to prevent, diagnose and treat disease and to improve general health. For those averse to even the thought of needles, other techniques such as cold lasers or moxibustion may be employed. These are less invasive and do not puncture the skin.

The goal of acupuncture is to promote and restore the balance of energy, which flows throughout the body. Hundreds of clinical studies on the benefits of acupuncture show that it successfully treats conditions ranging from musculoskeletal problems (back pain, neck pain frozen shoulder ) to nausea, migraine headache, anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, insomnia, and certain forms of infertility.

Acupuncture for Sciatica

Sciatica is a common disorder that is best treated with acupuncture. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body; it carries sensory and motor information down to the legs. When it becomes inflamed there can be radiating pain, numbness and/or tingling in the lower back and down the leg. People who have experience sciatica will tell you how debilitating it is. Acupuncture is a highly effective, painless treatment that works quickly to ease the pain by reducing inflammation. It can usually be treated with just one or two acupuncture treatments.
