Think of your parents as living in a hotel-like environment.You can viist or phone as you, (or your parents), please. Your parents determine restrictions as to times. Some retirement homes lock their doors in the evening for security purposes only. Using an intercom system, residents and visitors may still come and go at their leisure. Just as they have always done, your patents can entertain as they would in their own home and can even invite friends to join them in the dining room for meals. Again, think of this as a move into a hotel setting, with the freedoms they have always enjoyed. Q: My parents are considering a move to a retirementhome. If and when they move, are there restrictions that I should know about? For example, can I visit or phone any time? a: If this is a reoccurring problem you are not alone.This conditionis actually a small ulcer which forms in the lining of the mouth or the tongue. It happens to people of all ages, though more commonly in children. Most authorities believe the ulcer is the result of a virus attacking the membranes inside the mouth. One of the better ways to prevent canker sores is to avoid breaking surface tissue inside the mouth. A break often occurs with an accidental biting of the mouth lining, sometimes resulting in a canker sore.Typically this sore lasts from eight to ten days. Dentists sometimes treat canker sores to quicken their disappearance. To most of us, canker sores will develop and remain an annoyance no matter what we do. Rest assured, though, your dentist can provide invaluable assistance to you with this and all your dental needs. Q: Is there anything I can do to prevent canker sores? Theyseem to happen to me often and it is very uncomfortable. a: Infertility rates are on the rise with an estimated 1 in 5 Canadiancouples now experiencing trouble conceiving. Chinese Medicine has gained much positive attention for its ability to enhance fertility.Whether you are trying to conceive naturally or are using assisted reproductive techniques, Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can help you prepare not only for conception, but also for a healthy and successful pregnancy. The main ways in which Acupuncture can enhance fertility include: reducing stress, improving circulation to the ovaries and uterus, and balancing hormones. This is evidenced in medical research that supports the incorporation of Acupuncture into IVF protocols and other assisted reproductive technology techniques. The week of May 24-31 represented the 8th Annual Canadian Infertility Awareness Week. It is important to recognize those struggling with fertility issues by offering support, compassion, and awareness. For further information on whether Chinese Medicine can address your reproductive health needs, please contact Carolyn at cdew@healthspan.ca or check out her website at www. carolyndew.ca.
