MO- (short for moustache) vember (Short for November) is a month-long awareness and fundraising campaign intended to bring attention to Men’s health - more specifically Prostate and testicular cancers as well as mental and emotional health in men.
 
Testicular cancer:
Testicular cancer is the most prevalent cancer in men aged 15 to 35, but it’s also among the most treatable when caught early. An estimated 1,200 Canadian men will be diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2022. An estimated 35 will die from the disease. As a general rule, the earlier testicular cancer is diagnosed and treated the better the prognosis. That’s why it is important to check regularly and consult a doctor if something is not right.
 
Prostate cancer: Prostate cancer is the 4th most common cancer in Canada with 1 in 9 men diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. About 23,300 men will have been diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2020. It is one of the most common types of cancer in men over 50. This cancer has a great prognosis when caught early and why it’s important to consult a doctor regularly.
 
Mental health: Around 10% of Canadian men experience significant mental health challenges in their life. Approximately one million Canadian men suffer from major depression each year. On average, approximately 4,000 Canadians take their own life each year, of those suicides; 75% are men.

IV VITAMIN THERAPY- hydrate, increase energy, and detoxify.

Intravenous infusion therapy is an excellent way to provide the body with therapeutic levels of vitamins and minerals.

When we ingest oral supplements in the form of tinctures, pills, or capsules, a large portion is lost in the digestive system and liver pathways.

Intravenous nutrients that are introduced directly into the bloodstream bypasses the digestive organs and are available directly through the circulatory system to all tissues and cells of the body.

In chronic disease and states of depletion, or where digestive function is compromised, larger amounts of nutrients can be comfortably and safely delivered into the body.

The standard cocktail consists of magnesium, calcium, vitamin B-5, vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B-12, vitamin B complex, and vitamin C. Vitamin C is an important antioxidant that stimulates the immune system and aids in fighting bacterial and viral infections.

Other vitamins or ingredients may be added to the protocol, depending on the patient's diagnosis and overall health.

Vitamin B-12 intramuscular injections are also used therapeutically to help restore energy and combat various symptoms related to deficiency.

Vitamin B-12 is essential to the development of healthy blood cells, nerve cells, and proteins in the body.
Lack of vitamin B-12 can result in anemia, mood disturbances, digestive complaints, and nerve symptoms.

Conditions that greatly benefit from infusions of vitamins and minerals are:
✅ Fatigue/low energy
✅ Depression
✅ Muscle Spasms
✅ Weak immune system or chronic infections
✅ Migraines and headaches
✅ Seasonal allergies
✅ Respiratory conditions including asthma
✅ High blood pressure
✅ Athletic recovery

B12 injections: Do YOU need one? 🤔

B12 contributes to nervous system health, energy production, and healthy metabolism!

Most of us can get B12 from our diet, though absorption can be compromised for patients with digestive inflammation and disorders.

Oral B12 therapy is an option - though some patients find better results with injections as they bypass the digestive tract.

Not sure if you are a candidate for B12 injections? Book in with your AIM Naturopathic Doctor today to discuss options for testing your B12 levels and starting up on the right type of therapy for your goals!

The World health Organization defines health as a state of physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease. NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE takes this definition one step further as not only a definition but a foundational principle and guideline.  
 
Naturopathic doctors treat the entirety and whole of our patients with the goal of identifying the cause of illness/disease and addressing and balancing physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health.
 
Although the WHO’s definition is criticized as being vague and hard to measure, and by extension that of Naturopathic medicine, each person's health goals, health obstacles, and outcomes are unique and individual.

Qi — pronounced "chee" — is the energy flow created along the pathways that connect the acupuncture points on the body.

The pathways between the points are called meridians, which also connect to internal organs in the body.

Acupuncture is an effective method for restoring your body balance, working with the Qi forces! ✨

Functional Blood Analysis is observation of live blood using a high powered specialized microscope 🔬 with a camera 📸 that projects a picture of the live blood cells onto a screen to be seen by the practitioner and client together.

A pinprick of blood 🩸 is put on to a glass slide and then viewed on the screen. During live blood analysis, the blood is not dried or stained beforehand, so the blood elements can be seen in their living state.

The practitioner and client look at the variations in the size, shape, ratio, and structure of the red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and other blood structures.

We can use this information collaboratively to understand current health issues, and devise a goal-focussed treatment plan.
