Naturopathic Medicine Can Help Menstrual Problems
I see many women in my practice you have gone on the birth control pill to regulate their periods or who have had a hysterectomy because their periods were very heavy and it was causing problems.
For many women, naturopathic medicine can regulate a women’s menstrual cycle and the flow as well.
Pain and Heaviness Are Not Necessary
I also have seen many women who have come to me with painful or heavy menstrual cycles before they tried medication or surgery and they were able to avoid taking these measures. We balanced out their cycles and strengthened their systems and they now understand the way diet and lifestyle affects them.
How to treat these conditions is too complicated to get into on a blog, but the take home message is: see a naturopath before resorting to medication or surgery.

Call to Government in Ontario (Canada) to Target Cancer-Causing Toxins in Air

Asking: Remove Toxins That Cause Cancer From Air
Last week a coalition of various health organizations spoke out to the Canadian government to take action removing toxins from air that have proven cancer-causing effects (ie. carcinogens). These groups include the following: Cancer Care Ontario, the Canadian Cancer Society, the Ontario Medical Association, the Ontario Federation of Labour and public health units across Ontario.
More Than 150 Toxins
The group is looking at greater than 150 toxins in our air, food and the products we use; there is currently no strategy in place to remove these toxins from the air.
Cancer Rates Still Rising
The report issued by this group also mentions that if no action is taken, cancer rates, especially childhood cancer rates, will continue to rise and will contribute to tens of thousands of new cancers each year.
Read the full article here.
I think it is important to note that all of these groups are very mainstream and rather conventional. When groups such as these say there is a problem, and start appealing to the government, you know the problem is big.
Take Care Of Your Health
And this is why it is important to take other measures in your life to reduce toxin exposure where ever you can (without becoming paranoid, because stress creates lots of toxins as well).
Eat a healthy diet and to take care of your health in general.
Are You Healthy? Are You Sure?
Just because you are not currently sick, does not unfortunately mean that you are healthy. The decline of health into sickness is generally a slow decline and does not happen overnight (even though to some people it may feel that way).
Is Your Diet Healthy? Are You Sure?
And in order to determine whether or not your diet is healthy, I would strongly suggest having a consultation with a naturopath or natural nutritionist.
I have seen way too many patients who feel their diet is healthy, when there are really a lot of things lacking.
