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.

Hair Loss and Prostate Cancer

Benign prostate enlargement and scalp hair loss are quite common among middle-aged males. The problems are known to come from the same origin, dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Scientists in Australia found that men with bald spots at the top of their heads were 1.5 times more likely to have prostate cancer than those without bald spots. The association was particularly strong for men who were diagnosed with high-grade prostate cancer at 60–69 years of age. In contrast, there was no link between a receding front hairline and cancer.

Working to Live or Living to Work?

Many of us are addicted to the feeling of productivity, efficiency, and accomplishment. Creating lists and stroking them off rarely stopping, constantly doing, over-compensating, chasing the need to be needed, and by doing so, over-riding our energy and wellbeing. Striving to feel accomplished and good enough! The funny thing is…there will always be more work to be had, more needs to be filled, and getting ahead doesn’t really exist. Curious…what would happen if we begin working to live? No longer superseding our needs and desires, setting firm boundaries around our work schedules and hours, not letting our cell phones and texts interrupt or run us in the present moment, unplugging each day and listening to the rhythm of our bodies and soul’s desire… slowing down, welcoming in a new pace and place to honour laughter and the joy of being.

The Effect of Concussions on Vision

When someone has a head injury, they typically have vision problems that can be temporary or permanent. When a vision problem is causing or contributing to a problem with reading, balance, or movement, the recovery process will move slowly until the vision component is treated. Sometimes symptoms of a concussion might not even appear for days, even weeks, after the accident. Additionally, some symptoms might disappear after a time, such as eye pain or headaches, and yet other symptoms remain, such as blurred or double vision. If you suspect that a concussion has caused vision problems resulting in difficulty coping with daily activities, see a Developmental Optometrist for a visual evaluation.

Fight Colds & Flus

Your immune system needs a strong thymus and spleen to produce antibodies and specialized white blood cells that help prevent disease.
Do you know how yours are functioning?
Nutritional testing or Biofeedback are great ways to find out if there is a
weakness or imbalance in these immune organs.
If a weakness or imbalance is identified, specific nutrient formulations designed to naturally support and strengthen the thymus, spleen and immune system can be taken.
This will help you to better fight against influenza, rhinovirus (common cold), pneumonia, and other bacterial infections – or avoid them altogether.

What’s Going on in Your Brain?

While psychiatrists are able to make educated diagnoses based on symptoms and insights gained through appointments with patients, they sometimes don’t have the opportunity to see the brain in action. Brainwave Optimization provides clients the chance to observe and follow changes in their brain frequencies while they deal with decreasing their anxiety and panic attacks and increase their sleep quality and quantity, all without the side effects that can sometimes come with medication use. As one client described, “I’ve come out of the fog and I feel sharper than ever.”
