Product Review: Orange TKO

Orange TKO is a natural, concentrated citrus product that is very effective and versatile, smells great, and costs less to use thanks to its powerful cleaning abilities. It’s a fantastic natural alternative for all of your cleaning needs, including removing stains and odours. Our homes are filled with hidden toxins found in kitchen and bathroom cleaners, bleach, ammonia, carpet shampoos, and more. These toxins are often absorbed through our skin and lungs as we “clean”. Kick the chemicals out of your home, along with the toxic residues and hazardous fumes, and see what the power of nature can do.

Microflora and Healthy Teeth

Dental hygiene is extremely important to our overall health! Chinese medicine connects each one of our teeth to different bodily organs and structures, so if you want a healthy body, you need healthy teeth. An imbalance in the microflora in the mouth and gut and/or a lack of vital minerals may contribute to cavities. If the gut flora has more yeast or harmful bacteria, the body won’t be able to absorb needed nutrients and minerals. Luckily, tissue salts and homeopathy can help balance microflora and aid in the absorption of minerals, helping our teeth, and therefore our body, heal.

Role of the Funeral Director

Funeral directors are caregivers and administrators, event planners, as well as listeners and supporters. They make the arrangements for transportation of the deceased, complete all necessary paperwork and implement the choices made for final disposition and memorial service. It is important for your family to know your choice whether cremation, traditional, or green burial. Have the conversation with family now to find out what arrangements may already be in place or to help put them in place for the future. Planning ahead can be as simple as a conversation to record your wishes. Your funeral director is there to listen at any time.

Keto ‘The Right Way’

Trying to figure out how to go into nutritional ketosis can be a daunting task. There’s so much information on the internet that can cause confusion, and it can be incredibly time consuming. You likely have questions like: What should my calories be? Which foods should I eat and how much? What are macros? Why do they matter to my results? Instead of trying to figure it all out yourself, why not hire a Certified Keto Coach who can answer your questions and create a specialized plan for you? She takes out all of the guess work, allowing you to simply get results in far less time.

Photobiomodulation for Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second-most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer’s disease and the fastest-growing neurodegenerative disease. A 2021 research study showed that Photobiomodulation (PBM) resulted in significant improvements in patients’ mobility, cognition, dynamic balance, and fine motor skills and could be a safe and potentially effective option, with no side effects observed. Improvements were maintained for as long as PBM continued, for up to one year in a neurodegenerative disease where decline is typically expected. Home use of PBM by the person themselves or with the help of a caregiver might be an effective option for many PD symptoms.

Healthy Sources of Fat

Fat sources in the diet are extremely important. Focus on food items such as raw soaked nuts, seeds, avocado, raw EVOO (extra virgin olive oil), or a small amount of real butter if needed. Avoid inflammatory vegetable oils and hydrogenated oils, which are added to a lot of processed foods – even some foods we think of as healthy, such as peanut butter. Start reading ingredient lists on packaged foods to ensure you know whether vegetable or hydrogenated oils are included in the product, and if they are, find raw and natural alternatives where possible!

Music and Brain Plasticity

Brain-imaging techniques have revealed the brain’s plasticity and have identified networks that music activates. The brain areas activated by music are not unique to music. These networks also process other functions. Musical and non-musical functions share systems. For example, motor control and executive control share circuits with music. Music can activate and drive complex patterns of interaction between the other two, so that a stroke patient and someone with Parkinson’s increases movement, and someone with traumatic brain injury increases cognitive functioning, such as problem solving or decision making.
