Pets and Bee Stings

Warmer weather, blooming plants and buzzing insects can all spell trouble for your pets. If your curious pooch or pouncing feline gets stung by a bee, here’s what you can do: Scrape away the stinger if you can find it. Pulling the stinger with fingers or tweezers could rupture the poison sac allowing toxin to enter the bloodstream. If no medical history or treatments contraindicate, administer 1 mg Benadryl® per pound of your pet’s body weight and apply a cold pack for short periods at a time. If swelling is severe or if ANY breathing difficulties develop, do not delay—seek veterinary attention immediately.

Focus on the Positive

Few, if any, are thrilled with having become amputees and having to rely on a prosthesis to live their lives. Those who do well accept their situation and make a conscious decision to not let it get in the way of living life to the fullest. Not every day as an amputee will be a walk in the park. Often, you’ll need to exhibit an immense amount of patience and perseverance. However, if you focus on the positives versus dwelling on the negatives, with sincere effort and determination, you will live a fulfilling life as a prosthetic user.

Balance Your Hormones

What does hormonal imbalance look like? Hot flashes, night sweats, bloating, pain, irritability, brain fog, irregular cycle, and fatigue are just some of the symptoms. If you suffer from any of these symptoms and haven’t been able to find relief, why not try balancing your hormones naturally. Biofeedback testing and treatment helps to detect imbalances and stimulates hormone producing organs to balance the body. Another effective option is to get your body tested to see if it is lacking specific hormone related nutrients. If you are, natural nutritional formulations can be taken to correct the hormonal imbalance and relieve your symptoms.

Why Do I Have Shoulder Pain?

Our shoulders are amazing joints that provide a great range of motion. The rotator cuff, a group of four muscles, provides much of this control, along with many other muscles that connect to the shoulder blade. Injury and pain can happen here, whether an acute injury or pain that develops over time. Current evidence would suggest that strengthening the shoulder is the best course of action for many shoulder injuries and shoulder pain. Your physiotherapist is a highly trained professional who can guide you to getting your shoulder stronger so you can get back to doing what you enjoy.

How Old Are Your Arteries?

Your arteries carry oxygen-rich blood from your heart to your entire body. When you’re young and healthy, they’re wide enough to allow the blood to flow through easily, and their walls are elastic, so they can expand and contract as needed. But as you age, your artery walls might harden, as plaque — made up of cholesterol and fat — builds up within them, narrowing the vessels. This process, called atherosclerosis, puts you at risk for heart attacks and stroke. The Meridian Digital Pulsewave Analyzer is an FDA approved cardio wave analyzer that measures arterial stress by tracking the way blood moves through the arteries. It’s non-invasive and takes only minutes to analyze.

Dyslexia and Vision Problems

Did you know that symptoms that look like dyslexia can actually be a vision problem? Here are 3 vision problems that frequently mimic dyslexia: 1. Laterality/Directionality Problem – Many young children haven’t yet developed directionality skills. That’s why you might see a child holding their hands in an “L” shape to determine their left hand from their right. 2. Visual Fatigue – A child whose eyes grow fatigued will likely read at a considerably slower pace. 3. Poor Control of Eye Movements – Some people view extremely choppy reading as a symptom of dyslexia. However, functional vision problems are often at the root of some of these same symptoms.

Optimize Your Health

Optimize your neurology and you optimize your health! Did you know that the metatarsal area of your foot has over 10,000 nerve receptors? Their main purpose in life is to report back to your brain, via your nervous system, what is happening in your body. A neurological problem, such as MS, Parkinson’s, and Fibromyalgia can compromise messaging to the brain. Voxxlife HPT helps to improve that communication. VOXX HPT is a very specific sequence and pattern of neuroreceptor activation on the bottom of the feet that triggers a signal that aides in the brainstem reaching homeostasis.

You can choose from a two position, three position, or infinite position chair, depending on whether you want to recline fully.

Bioresonance for Kidney Health

The kidneys play a crucial role in maintaining overall health but are rarely appreciated until they become damaged and can no longer do their jobs. They work day and night, 24/7 to filter out the harmful toxins we are exposed to on a regular basis. When the load of toxins gets too much for your kidneys to handle, their functioning slows down, making one susceptible to kidney stones, infections, cysts, tumours and then finally a shut down. Do you know how healthy your kidneys are? If you have never done a kidney detox before, now is the time.
