Transformation into Hope and Optimism 15 February 2025 Dear Friends, Colleagues and Supporters, How quickly time flies when there is activity and transformation around us on a daily basis. And, especially when there is hope and optimism. The past years have been filled with so much challenge for those of us working with natural and biological methods of medicine. So much focus has been on COVID with all its related political, censorship, economic and in particular health and consequential issues that I and many others have simply lost sight [...]

Strong Lungs Pulmonary Mycoses The Importance of Mucosal Systems and Important Distinction Between Mucosal and Molds in Diagnosis and Therapy Severe, inflammatory pulmonary mycoses are relatively rare in the practice of a naturopath. A strict distinction must be made as to whether it is an inflammatory pulmonary mycosis (with rapid and extensive damage to vital functions) or an allergic problem. As a result, the courses vary from mild, self-limiting infections to life-threatening diseases, with appropriate treatment approaches. Basically, the question at [...]

15 January 2025 As usual the post-holiday time brings reflections along with the determination to make changes that improve our family, faith and professional lives. I promised myself I wouldn’t get all carried away with grand rhetoric and inspirational prose. And I will stick with that. Too many situations of chaos and uncertainty surround everyone politically, economically and professionally during this interesting but transformational time. For days, I have remained glued to the television watching the unfolding catastrophe that is the wildfire situation in southern California. Since our Okanagan [...]

Remembrance, Gratitude and Commitment 11 November 2024 This is always a solemn day. Always a grey day, with rain or snow accumulating like tears. Whether we celebrate Remembrance Day in Canada or Veterans Day in the USA, it remains another annual day of reflection. A day to experience and voice our gratitude for the many military personnel who have sacrificed so very much. That common American phrase “thank you for your service” repeated so often. Their patriotism, sacrifice and love of country reflect and support the beliefs all of [...]

15 October 2024 Dear Colleagues and Friends, Fall days have brought us election mania (in both the US and Canada) which opens the pandora’s boxes of politics, Covid, conspiracies and “disinformation”. I will admit during my mandated rest periods and evenings, I’ve spent waaayyyy too much time in front of the TV and the many news channels, all while perusing through the alternative newsletters and online posts. But I feel, we will not see a clearer picture of our future with alternative health methods until we see who will [...]
