Fight Colds & Flus
Your immune system needs a strong thymus and spleen to produce antibodies and specialized white blood cells that help prevent disease.
Do you know how yours are functioning?
Nutritional testing or Biofeedback are great ways to find out if there is a
weakness or imbalance in these immune organs.
If a weakness or imbalance is identified, specific nutrient formulations designed to naturally support and strengthen the thymus, spleen and immune system can be taken.
This will help you to better fight against influenza, rhinovirus (common cold), pneumonia, and other bacterial infections – or avoid them altogether.
Want a More Active Lifestyle?
Voxxlife socks and insoles, incorporating the patented Voxx HPT technology, are designed for users who want ultimate comfort, wellness, and performance in whatever they do. Tests show relief from foot pain, and increased balance, strength, and range of motion. The knee-high socks are especially helpful for people with circulation issues. The insoles, with their trim-to-fit design, offer more benefits than custom orthotics do, at a fraction of the price. Voxxlife products are for anyone wanting a more active lifestyle.

Smoking & Your Life Insurance Policy
If you smoke and are looking to buy life insurance in Canada, you can expect to pay a much higher premium than a non-smoker does. On term policies, the premiums can be more than double, and on permanent plans, the difference in rates is less pronounced. The insurance definition of a smoker is a male or female who uses nicotine, including cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, a nicotine patch, or nicotine gum. Remember that to qualify for preferred rates, the insurance company can look back up to 12 months. Rates can be up to double for smokers on term plans, but only about 25% higher on permanent plans.
What Do Denturists Do?
Denturists help those who are missing some or all of their natural teeth. They design, repair, reline, and make removable dental appliances. Your denturist will collaborate with you, your family, and other healthcare professionals to promote and maintain your oral health.
When making a set of dentures, the objectives are:
• supporting and protecting your gums and the bones in your mouth;
• enhancing your face and holding your jaws the proper distance apart;
• carefully choosing individual teeth to match what you already have; and
• allowing you to speak clearly and chew without stress.
Something More?
No matter what your circumstances, no matter what the past or present, there has always been the hope of connecting with “something more”. Somehow, somewhere tucked away in the recesses of your soul, a part of you has always considered the possibility of that connection and yearned for it. Sometimes, the yearning was strong and urgent. Sometimes, it was so hidden that it was not even identifiable. But it was always there. Perhaps it’s now your turn to explore your own spiritual evolution. Journaling and meditation are two spiritual practices to get you started.
Craving or Clue?
How many rice cakes does it take to satisfy a chocolate craving? About 10 followed by a gigantic chocolate bar. What if cravings are clues that you have a need that’s not being met? That instead of chocolate what you really need is rest, pain relief or someone to talk to? A craving that doesn’t come from hunger can’t be satisfied with food. How to know if you’re hungry for a Mars Bar or a nap? 1. Become aware of a sudden and intense craving. 2. Be curious. What’s going on right now? How am I feeling? Am I actually hungry? How hungry am I? What is my real need here? It may very well be a Mars Bar, but you don’t really know until you ask yourself. If it is, savour it without guilt and congratulate yourself on the mindful decision for real self-care.
