I recently took a little holiday to get some sister medicine. I love our visits. We laugh, craft, and generally get up to silly antics. One of the things I love about hanging out with her is actually something we do ahead of time. We realized about 15 years ago that sometimes we had different [...]

“HOLY SH**!” I looked up from what I was doing and I said, “Everything okay?” “How long to these injections normally take to have an effect?” “Often within seconds. Is it feeling better?” A patient had been suffering from sore joints in his feet. I suggested we try an injection-based therapy to help the tissues [...]

When I first meet patients they often bring in a bag of supplement bottles that they have collected over quite some time. They saw something on Dr. Oz, which they decide to buy. Then at the health food store they were encouraged to get products a, b, and c instead of (or in addition to) the [...]

You have probably heard a version of the quote, “That which is measured, improves.” Quantum scientists recognize this phenomenon identified by Werner Heisenberg: When particles are observed their behavior changes. He said, “What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning.” I see this in my work as well. [...]

It’s not what you know, it’s what you do. I heard that quote from Todd Henry. I’m not sure if he said it first. When I google it all I get is people who said, “It’s not what you know but who you know.” I suppose this is also good information. It’s not my specific point today, but [...]

You know when you read a line or a paragraph over and over again with out actually taking in what you’re reading? Sometimes this happens when you’re tired. The other day my eyes kept scrolling over the words but every time I got to the end of the page I realized I had gapped out. [...]

Gawd I don’t love running. For a number of reasons. It hurts. It’s not in my blood. My short, stalky limbs just aren’t designed for it. When I was in elementary school we had to run around the block and these little inch worms would dangle from the trees and make a break for it [...]

Anything is Possible One Stroke at a Time – Zentangle. Hold the phone. I need to back up. About a year ago I rediscovered colouring. Or you could say I discovered adult colouring. I like to think I grabbed the wave before it really caught on. It all started in Regina, Saskatchewan. I went to visit my sister [...]

A few weeks back I had a headache. I rarely get them and certainly feel for those who suffer for them on the regular. I have a number of patients who come to me for this very reason. And there are countless reasons why someone might experience this. In fact if I saw three people for headaches there would likely [...]
