Alternative health care facility opens in Scugog Jeloalkilan With health being one of the leading con- cerns of an aging Canadian population, it is is only natural that entrepreneur, Brenda Leit has received some deserved attention as the most recent addition to the healthcare com- unity. Sunleite Integrative Health Center re- cently opened at 188 Mary Street in Port Perry, in the former Star Office Centre quar- ters. The bright, new professional offices are inspired with Leite’s commitment to her role in the community. As a natural medicine practitioner, well on her way to earning her Doctorate in Natural Medicine, Leite utilizes only natural agents and forces to assist her patients. On a weekly basis, she augments her courses with practical mentoring from Dr. Sheila McKenzie-Barnswell in Toronto who Brenda Leite, naturotherapy practioner, relaxes at her desk prior to the official opening of the new Sunleite Integrative Health place on Sat. April 8, 2006. Centre, which took focus@observerpub.ca vhs = 4, —— Sunleite Integrative Health Centre is a Doctor of Homeopathic and Orthomo- lecular Medicine. Leite, a former architectural designer for many years, has had a life-long interest in al- ternative approaches to the human body. “Fate put me on a four-hour train trip to Moose Factory where I was seated beside a Cree police officer,” she recounts. “He was so enthusiastic about helping his aborigi- nal community, especially youth overcome health and addiction struggles, that he in- spired me to follow my dream.” Leaving her design-build business be- hind, Leite moved from Claremont to Port Perry in 2003. Despite her hectic schedule with young daughters and a son, she began dedicating herself to the rekindled passion of her life. In 2004, she settled on a 30-acre farm named “Bimadosiwin” (aboriginal for “honour yourself’) which will be converted into a retreat center come summer. From the moment that you enter the Sun- leite Integrated Health Center to be greeted by receptionist/assistant, Jayne Manwaring, u will be i d with the d ic team of professionals that Leite has gathered un- der one roof. And with husband, John Patter- son, who doubles as administrator, she has outfitted the Center with some of the most innovative services available. “My present qualifications enable me to provide many natural healing modalities for the body, mind and spirit,” she explains, and lists nutritional medicine, homeopathy, manual medicine therapies, detoxification and weight loss programs, as some of the services she will provide. Along with Pam Beach and Sue Kern, Leite hopes to assist patients of all ages to heal naturally by assessing the total mind, body, spirit connection right down to the cel- lular level in order to strike a balance in the most natural way.

This gem, otherwise known as Digital Infrared Imaging (DI), analyzes the temperature variations of skin and tissue employing an ultrasensitive camera and state of the art software. It aids in much earlier detection of cancerous and pre-cancerous masses by sensing higher chemical and vas- cular activity at the metabolic level. Sunleite Health Centre will also provide an infrared sauna to help detoxify those pa- tients who cannot tolerate conventional sau- nas’ higher operating temperatures. “Our sauna is completely safe for children, the elderly and those with cardiovascular con- cerns because it creates a healthy purifying sweat at 40 degrees Celsius.” she said. Detoxification, increase in immune response, drainage of nasal and sinus pas- sages, managing of high cholesterol, blood pressure and diabetes as well as reducing the discomfort of fibromyalgia, arthritis and chronic fatigue are all known benefits. Even though the Center offers quite con- ventional services such as physical assess- ments, homeopathic evaluations or foot spas, energy mirroring and energy enhancement require a greater patient acceptance of the use of subspace. Energy mirroring is performed by a tech- nician who reads the patient’s energy field at the cellular level and then clears interfering energy accumulated through physical, emo- tional, spiritual, hereditary, acquired or envi- ronmental trauma by using feedback skills. Whether it’s an intricate piece of equip- ment, or a compassionate ear involved in the healthcare dispensed, Brenda Leite and her staff at the Sunleite Integrative Health Cen- ter have much to be proud of.
