The level of radiation is very low – less per film, in fact, than the exposure you’d experience on an airplane flight.

Scaling involves using tools to remove tartar, a hard deposit that harbours bacteria.

Brushing alone won’t eliminate it, and if it’s left unchecked it can lead to decay and periodontal (gum) disease, which has a whole host of nasty symptoms (think

inflamed gums, loose teeth and really bad breath).

Polishing gets your teeth feeling smooth, allows the hygienist a chance to review home care tips and prepares your teeth for fluoride.

The fluoride itself coats your teeth and accumulates in soft areas, where it works

How to make your health last a lifetime I have been getting more questions about the book “End of Illness” by Dr. Agus so I have put together a few key

points to consider in retort to some of his recommendations. ● I agree that inflammation is the cause of many illnesses

but there are many natural remedies and lifestyles to adopt to reduce inflammation in the body rather than just taking aspirin.

A meta analysis of five studies showed that long term aspirin usage increases the relative risk of hemorrhagic stroke

on for 10 years dying of chronic diseases as we do today. There was no mechanization and no pollution. They ate twice as much as we do now because they did everything by hand and needed the calories.

They were not overweight. (“An unsuitable and degraded diet?”

Part 1-3 by Dr. Paul Clayton and Dr. Judith Rowbotham, Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine 2008, issue 101). In the era of today, our food is adulterated and contains fewer nutrients, our environment is toxic so much so that we all have at least seven toxins in our blood, including cord blood.

These include BPA and mercury. I believe that a lot of cancers we are seeing today are due to this toxicity level and in order to promote detoxification pathways in the body we need to provide the body with key nutrients such as B complex, methylating agents and liver support. ● I disagree that our society is not deficient in Vitamin D. There are many researchers, including Dr. Clayton, and Dr. William B Grant, that are studying the effects of low vitamin D serum levels in higher latitudes and its deficiency associated with diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disease, type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Vitamin D is a much more natural way to prevent influenza every year than taking the flu shot and at the same time prevents many other diseases too!

A trial on school children in Japan showed that 1200IU’s of vitamin D per day (the same amount found in one tbsp of cod liver oil) reduced the risk of type A influenza by 64 per cent . ● Take statins Cont. on Page 5

Maintain your vim and vigor From Page 4 after the age of 50. In the book “Overdosed America� Dr. Abramson outlines the true benefits of statin drugs and they are certainly not effective for primary prevention of cardiovascular events which means if you haven’t had a heart attack already it will not prevent you from having one.

It is particularly not studied at all for women for primary prevention of heart attacks.

Taking EPA and DHA rich fish oils daily in adequate doses are well known to be cardio protective. â—? Prevent the flu by having the flu shot.

I would say up to half of my patients take the flu shot and have no side effects and it works for them at preventing the flu.

aspects of medicine, it does not work for the other half of my patients.

It often causes the flu after they receive the injection, or in every year that they get the injection they get the worse flu ever or they had side effects from the injection.

In my practice I recommend a three pronged approach to preventing the flu: probiotics, adequate fish oil and vitamin D consumption and a homeopathic protocol that is followed every flu season.

This works well and these patients just don’t get sick with the flu � I do agree that sitting is bad for our health and recommend that people wear pedometers to keep track of how many steps they take in a day, trying to aim for 10,000 steps per day.

Getting a dog is good for your health in more ways than one!

Eating at regular times, getting to bed at a regular time and getting enough rest are basic foundations of health.

I also agree with choosing a multicolored diet and using wireless headphones if you must a cell phone.

On my website are articles I have written in retort to some of the research Dr. Agus refers to in his book.

Consider these basics keys to health if you want to make your health last with optimal vim, vigour and vitality!

Yacht club heading north to Broughton This summer, the Comox Valley Yacht Club is again planning a trip to the Broughton Archipelago at the northern tip of Vancouver Island.

This is an exciting cruise for members as they take their boats through some of the most challenging waters and see some of the most dramatic scenery on this coast.

And along the way are orcas, sea lions and dolphins to add to the excitement.

Leaving Comox harbour, the yacht club members will cross the Strait of Georgia and head north through Desolation Sound.

The grandeur of this area can take your breath away the first time you see it, with steep mountains dropping into deep waters. Everyone will rendezvous at Squirrel Cove at Cortes Island for the night. From there the trip just gets more exhilarating as

Yacht club members get underway. the boats position themselves to pass through Surge Narrows at slack tide. Tide tables are a must!

The reward is anchoring at the Octopus Islands Marine Park where the mariners socialize over appetizers and dinner, often made from the bounty of the sea. A good night’s rest at anchor is needed as the next day can be long.

The next leg is timed for slack at a series of rapids — Upper and Lower Okisollo Rapids, then nose out onto

Johnstone Strait before ducking into the ‘back way’ again through Nodales, Cordero, Chancellor, Wellbore and Sunderland channels. Green Point and Whirlpool are the last rapids before heading toward Johnstone Strait again.

At this point everyone usually heaves a sigh of relief.

However, the weather must be checked to decide if the flotilla waits out the laterday strait winds or continues.

There are anchorages back

in Sunderland Channel. If the winds are fair, it can be a lovely 24-kilometre (12-nautical mile) run up to Port Harvey at the first entrance into the Broughtons.

If the winds turn, it can be a long hard go of it, looking at the bottoms of boats in front of you. But this is where you have a chance to see the orcas feeding along the shorelines.

Once in the Broughtons, it’s a whole different world of cloud-shrouded mountains, calm waters, floating islands and history that takes your breath away. But that is a whole other article that you can read on the yacht club website at www. comoxvalleyyachtclub. com.

For membership information in the Comox Valley Yacht Club, call Sue at 250898-8333 or Bonnie at 250-941-8432.

a women’s movement now than there was in the 1960’s when the Royal Commission on the Status of Women made recommendations to the Federal Government,” said Richelle GardinerHynds, instructor in Women’s Studies at

the College, and chair of the event.

A panel discussion following the film included Savannah McKenzie, a student at North Island College; Marie Skinner, a retired teacher and chair-elect of Senior Peer Counselling in the Comox Valley;

Wendy Morin of the John Howard Society and the Comox Valley Transition Society; and Tammy Collard with the B.C. Ministry of Social Development.

Savannah’s initial reaction to the film was that “we can see the strong women who came before us.

Our past successes are vulnerable, however, and we must continue to be vigilant in order to keep moving forward on women’ issues”.

The audience also got involved. One audience member commented, “I think it’s great that there

are young women out there to continue the fight. My God, girls!

Go for it!” Another noted that feminism is not radical, “Radical means rooted, not ‘far out’”. Yet another encouraged women to go into politics “to be law makers and not just law changers.”

The film is being screened in cities across Canada through a partnership between the National Film Board and the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW). You can catch ‘Status Quo?’ on the National Film Board website.

| NORTH ISLAND MIDWEEK |

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 2013

Hearing a Gem of an idea Gem Munro and son Alastair came to the North Island last week for a pair of addresses to Port Hardy and Port McNeill Rotary members.

Gem, along with wife Dr. Tanyss Munro and their four children, are integral members of the Amarok Society, a Canadian charity organization which aims to improve standards in some of the poorest areas in the world through education.

The husband and wife team worked as teachers in an isolated First Nation reserve in Northern Alberta, solidifying their belief in education as a driving force for change.

In 2005, the family relocated to Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, to teach in the slums there.

Gem explained to the Rotarians that Bangladesh posed unique challenges, and the family quickly recognized the traditional approach of building schools and bringing in teachers was not going to work.

They hit upon a different approach, one that many people assured them was unworkable, and decided to go into the slums and teach uneducated mothers there to be teachers, a project dubbed Mothers of Intention.

Gem explained that the project presented a series of challenges, culturally in particular. In Bangladesh, described as a “moderate Muslim country” by Gem, women typically marry young, and once married, their education ends.

He explained that

GAS GAS 11

Phone 830-WOOD (9663) 151 Dogwood St., Campbell River

Gem Munro signs a copy of his book after giving a presentation at the Port Hardy Rotary meeting. many of the women they educate typically enter the program with a vocabulary of around 700 words in Bengali. An educated westerner can draw on somewhere in the range of 15,000 words.

Most are illiterate, Gem said.

“One of the first things we teach is how to hold a pencil,” he said. “The next is

which end goes to the paper.”

By the time they graduate from the program they can read and write in their local language, have learned English (described by Gem as “the language of opportunity” in the region) and math, as well as basic nutrition and conflict resolution.

These women then go on to educate children

in their area.

The program has been a huge success, Gem explained, with fourteen schools now in operation in Dhaka and a further six in the city of Khulna.

The group has received invitations to open more such schools.

After initial resistance from some husbands and the

slumlords who control the areas in which the schools operate, the project and the results it has shown have won over opponents.

The society has a partnership with the Rotary Club of Belleville, Ont., and in 2010 also formed an agreement with the Rotary Club of Midtown Dhaka to support its projects.

Gem explained that besides Rotarian support and individual donations, the society is also funded through sales of his book, South Asian Adventures with the Active Poor, a bestselling narrative of some of Gem’s experiences in the region.

Our local lakes produce nice size trout in the summer but winter fishing has been productive using worms fished from shore. The Oyster and Salmon can produce some nice catches of steelhead now through May.
