Vitamin C and Anti-Aging

Vitamin C or L-ascorbate or L-ascorbic acid is an important water soluable vitamin. In the human body ascorbate acts as an anti-oxidant to protect the body from the effects of oxidative stress.  As an anti-oxidant Vitamin C ‘s job is to contribute electrons. We know that all infections do their damage via oxidative damage causing electron theft. All toxins cause all their damage by electron theft. Vitamin C contributes electrons so it gives something that will go in and prevent oxidative damage and contribute electrons to prevent tissue damage. Electron flow is the common denominator. The electron flow also relates to your life force. In his book “ Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases, & Toxins” Dr. Thomas Levy compiles over 1200 scientific references on the many anti-aging and health benefits of this simple and very effective nutrient. Most naturopathic physicians are trained in the administration of Vitamin C both orally and intravenously.

Cold Laser Therapy- The New Kid on the Block

Yes the 21st century is upon us! We are definitely in the energy era. New energy technology is emerging every few months. The new kid on the block is Cold Laser Therapy, also known as Low Intensity Laser Therapy. We have been using this type of therapy in our office for the past two and a half years with some pretty stunning results. Cold Laser uses photon energy applied to your tissues and cells to create biochemical energy to speed up healing. The applications of cold laser has rapidly expanded due to work of Dr. Fred Kahn M.D. who sees 800 patients a week out of his Toronto clinic. He uses the Bioflex Laser made by Medi-Tech which uses both red and infra-red laser and is one of the leaders in laser therapy. www.bioflexlaser.com.

We just had a patient in last month with a painful tendonitis of the shoulder and after a week of treatments she was able to resume playing the following week.  I personally have fractured a rib playing summer ice hockey and should have been unable to work for 4-6 weeks. After daily laser treatments for a week I was able to resume work with some restrictions.

What I like about laser therapy is that it is quick at helping relieve pain, it is safe,it is drug free, and is on of the best modalities for treating soft tissue injuries. We have two cold lasers at our South Surrey clinic.

Anti-aging and Exercise

Skipping meals and low calorie diets are certainly not the answer to beating the obesity

epidemic. They in fact will cause depletion of muscle tissue, reduce your metabolic rate,

and lead to more deposition of body fat. A 2009 study showed that ver 12 weeks, by

increasing your resistance exercise (weight training) and adding the amino acid, L-arginine

to your diet, resulted in 6.6 pounds of fat loss and no loss of muscle. Compared to the

placebo group that lost 8.6 pounds ( 4.6 lbs. of fat and 3.7 lbs. of muscle). It is important to

not only get fat reduction , but to maintain muscle mass at the same time. As Naturopathic

Doctors at the Semiahmoo Wellness Center in White Rock/South Surrey we provide

programs to ensure you do not lose muscle mass.

More on Mercury Amalgams!

Research on Mercury Amalgams is getting more attention lately. In an article that was published in the November 15th issue of the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, researchers have found that mercury is likely to be one of the multiple causes of Alzheimer’s disease. Mercury is one of the most toxic natural substances. It poses a danger to humans and may lead to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.
The experimental research literature indicates that animal and cell models reproduce all the features of Alzheimer’s disease when mercury is given. For instance, one of the more widely known uses of mercury is in amalgam dental fillings, the most common type of fillings used by dentists.
Although more dentists are now using alternative materials for replacing fillings, many people are still walking around with mouths full of mercury. A qualified Naturopathic Doctor can assess you and make recommendations of the appropriate protocols for removal of this toxic substance.

Mercury Amalgam Fillings (This May Shock You!)

Mercury Vapour

Mercury Vapour From An Extracted Tooth

Bet you didn’t know just how much mercury your amalgam fillings leach.

I just posted an interesting demonstration video on my Chelation page (just scroll about halfway down the page), where an extracted tooth was placed in front of a light source that is blocked by mercury vapour.

The “black smoke” you can see in the video is actually mercury vapour!

Makes you think, doesn’t it?
