Natural Flu & Immunity Clinic at Meridian Wellness starts in November
The flu season is upons us and with both H1N1 and seasonal flu viruses to worry about, it is important more than ever to maintain optimal immune health for you and your family. Flu viruses mutate constantly, producing new strains from year to year such as the current H1N1 flu strain. We are also aware that a strong immune system is paramount in fighting off any viruses, and that a weakened immune system allows for the growth of bacterial and viral microorganisms. With this in mind, we have developed a NATURAL FLU PREVENTION PROGRAM that is based on the principles of natural medicine whereby the body's natural defenses are supported in order to survive the winter months this year.In response to a large number of inquiries from our patients about H1N1 vaccination and natural ways to prevent the flu, Meridian Wellness naturopaths, Drs. Misa & Jennifer, will be offering a special NATURAL FLU PREVENTION PROGRAM for all Richmond Hill, Aurora, and King City residents starting November 1st. This program is for the whole family, from infants to adults and especially useful for pregnant or lactating women.
Dr. Misa will also be offering the same program for employees at her corporate wellness clinic on-site at the Canadian Tire Corporation (Head Office & Retail City).
Your half-hour session will include:
1) An individualized assessment of your immune health status, including testing of pH and zinc levels.
2) Personalized advice about supplements for flu prevention and treatment of flu.
3) Lifestyle/dietary recommendations and education information about the influenza virus.
4) A natural flu "shot" - an oral dose of PASCOLEUCYN FORTE, a product that has been shown to help prevent and treat flu symptoms. It can be used in children and adults, and is an effective complement to the H1N1/seasonal flu vaccine or an alternative for people who cannot get the vaccine due to egg allergy.
The cost of this session is reimbursable through most extended health plans under naturopathic coverage. Booking an appointment on-line is easy! Simply click here (http://www.meridianwellness.ca/book-an-appointment.php) and our office assistant will be happy to assist you and answer any questions you may have.
On Saturday, November 14th, Dr. Keith volunteered at the Habitat for Humanity build on Hainford St. in Scarborough. 60 homes are in their final phase of construction, and Dr. Keith had an opportunity to lay down laminate flooring on the first floor of one house. Other crew members that day performed jobs such as painting, trim work and subfloor preparation. The deadline for this site development is December 2009 and there is still much work to be completed! If you are interested in volunteering your time and hands, go to their website for more info: http://www.torontohabitat.on.ca/web/help_out.aspxNo experience is necessary as there is something for everyone if you are willing to learn and enjoy working with others. Volunteers are organized into small groups (i.e. Crews), led by Crew Leaders who are volunteers with construction knowledge and experience. Keep in mind that the most important thing is a positive attitude, enthusiasm, flexibility and a sense of humour. Whatever the activity may be, it is essential to the success of the build. Each piece fits together to ensure the final outcome is an amazing one.

2009 Richmond Hill Heritage Village Festival
An overcast and cool morning gave away to a beautiful sunny afternoon at this year's festival which took place on Saturday, June 13th along Yonge Street between Major Mackenzie Drive and Crosby Avenue. Drs. Keith and Misa as well as Troy our massage therapist were there to meet local residents to discuss their health concerns and what treatment options we have available at our clinic. Troy was very busy giving complimentary 10 minute massages...in total he treated 40 people who all walked away with big smiles on their faces! We raffled off two prizes this year: a pair of Blue Jays tickets for a game against the Boston Red Sox on August 19th and a one hour massage treatment with Troy. Our lucky winners this year were Donna Harris and Philip Thomas! Congratulations!
Earth Day 2009 Tree Planting in Richmond Hill
In continuing support of our community and the environment, Dr. Keith helped out on Earth Day, April 22nd, with the tree planting efforts of the Richmond Hill Natural Heritage Section. 500 new trees were planted at Newberry Park in the Yonge & Elgin Mills neighbourhood which is a part of the Rouge Watershed!
In addition to Dr. Keith, about 200 elementary students from Toronto Montessori School, Langstaff Public School and HG Bernard Public School were in attendance. Richmond Hill Mayor Dave Barrow and Town Councillors Vito Spatafora, Greg Beros and Godwin Chan were there at 10 am to kick-off the event.
