Welcome to 2010! I love the optimism of a new year, it’s like the morning hours of a new day…where there is the potential to start fresh and we can imagine what the day will be like, until the hustle and bustle of the day really begins.

The new year is no different, it gives us a chance to reflect on 2009 and look forward to what the next 12 months will be like. What is the one thing that you wish for yourself? Maybe it is to get better sleep or to have more energy. Maybe you would like to lose weight, eat healthier or feel better about yourself. Whatever your health goals are, Naturopathic medicine can help you get there. By taking a holistic approach we can look at your current health level and decide what steps will best suit you to get the results you are looking for.

If you are not already feeling your best, now is the time to think about YOU. Let Naturopathic medicine help you get there.

Happy 2010!

Dr Barb.

The H1N1 flu shot is here, now the big question is should you get it?

Well, if you are like many people, you may be nervous about this shot but want to do whatever is best to protect yourself and your family from this flu. Let me reassure you, there are alternatives.

In my practice I work to ensure that every patient’s immune system is working optimally. With a strong immune system your body is prepared to fight off any infection not just the flu. We do this by looking at your overall health, diet and lifestyle. Supplements are also used when necessary to support the body.

In a time of pandemic, we also use homeopathic medicines to protect the body from infection. In fact, homeopathic remedies were used successfully in many outbreaks including the 1918 Spanish flu. These remedies use diluted substances, therefore are completely safe and can drastically reduce the severity of infection. In the 1918 flu epidemic, those that used homeopathic remedies had virtually no fatalities compared to the general population.

This year, to best prepare patients I have assembled flu kits. These are kits that can be used for prevention but also treatment for the flu and can be shared by the entire family.

If you are interested in learning more about these kits or would like to book a naturopathic appointment call us today to get started.
