An oral health exam is critical to the maintenance of your overall wellbeing. You should have your mouth checked at least once a year for prevention and treatment of any ailments. Even if you don’t have any live teeth, it’s important to make sure there are no signs of infections or early signs of cancer, growths, or cysts, and that your dentures are fitting you well. Leaving problems untreated usually leads to pain, periodontal disease, or tooth loss, and could make treatment more difficult, so it’s best to deal with problems early, or, if possible, prevent them.

Words To Live By
“Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.” – Orison Swett Marden

Feel Good in Your Relationships
Are you having problems in your relationships? Are you wondering if it’s you? When we have been hurt, it can be really hard to take chances again. Being open to others is vulnerable! We can get anxious and lose out on great connection. But protecting ourselves from others too much can interfere with a great life. Sometimes we need help figuring out how to open up to people – and what reasonable boundaries to set. Counselling is a safe and neutral place to work this out.

The Shock-Cancer link
German New Medicine explains the cause, development and eventual healing of disease through the understanding of five biological laws. These laws are a specific natural program that help our bodies to deal with stress and trauma. Ryke Geerd Hamer, MD, discovered a correlation between cancer and specific traumas that can be visualized in brain scans. The NES Health bioenergetic scan is also able to show shock and trauma recorded in the brain based on the energy field of the human body. Studies have shown that by correcting the energetic blockages, the body can finish the natural program and get back to a healthy and balanced state.

Spider Vein Therapy
Now is a great time to focus on getting your legs clear for Summer! Small, unsightly, spidery blue leg veins respond well to treatment in experienced hands. Laser therapy can be used, but can be painful and expensive, and also less effective than sclerotherapy. With sclerotherapy a very fine, barely felt needle introduces a sterile non-allergic blend of saline, and dextrose into these tiny blue veins. This irritates the vein lining, causing it to swell and reroute blood through healthier veins. Typically spider veins respond in 3-4 weeks. Warmer weather is on the horizon, so now is the best time to act!

Spring is here and love is in the air! Did you know hyperbaric oxygen therapy can improve sexual performance and fertility in both men and women? Studies have shown that HBOT can improve testosterone levels and help treat erectile dysfunction. It also improves the motility, strength and volume of sperm.
