Q: A . With PhannacyAwareness Week quickly 0 approaching, (November I, through the 7th) we, are reminded once again to che'ck our medicine cabinets at home for expired medications. It is very important that we clean out and properly dispose of any medications that are not currently being used by somebody in our family.

Medications are prescribed for a specific individual for a specific condition. This is one area where we don 't have to share.

' A good cup of coffee depends on many factors such as the water quality and the type of coffeemaker you use. The most important component of all is the coflee beans! The quality and the freshness of the coffee, how it is ground, measured and brewed will dramatically affect the final cup. In recent years there has been a steady decline in North American cofiee consumption. The widespread use of instant coffees and poor quality supermarket blends, both lacking in flavour and aroma, certainly contribute to this trend. Yet the consumption of quality coffees, such as the intriguing blends and estate coffees offered at Second Cup, are increasing spectacularly while the consumption of commercial coffees continues to decrease. Consumers of tasteless, thin bodied instant or bitter “donut shop” coffees are in for a pleasant surprise when they taste their first cup of one of the world ’s truly great coffees. Remember, a cup of one of the worlds premier coffees today costs less than the same amount of Pepsi-Cola and is fifteen or twentytimes cheaper than a wine of the same distinction. ptacuc 1500 IIefitage Way Oakville 825â€"9529 .

The limttations of traditiona medical carefor CI'S led the late Robert MendeLsohn, MD. to conclude that, “... medical treatment or this condition is so often unsatisfactory, l have for years been recommending at my patients consult experts in muscle and joint therapy. " Which brings me to why I, a chiropractor am writing this article. Chiropractic is by definition "...’ the science and art of correctin and removin interferences or disturbances in the body by manipulation adjustment 0 the body structures, namely the s inal column " Authorities have demonstrate that there is a direct connection tween arm and wrist pain and the nerves that emit ram the neck area Although no chiropractor can claim to “heal" CI'S. they can tel u that a spine that is ree from nerve pressure is in a better position to heal itsefirom Carpal Tunne Syndrome (or any other condition for that matter).
