We know that Canada is not going to offer this to us and that we have to fight for it - we know that, because Canada did not sign the United Nations Declaration on 'The Rights of Indigenous Peoples' in September 2007. Along with Canada, the USA, New Zeeland and Australia were the only countries not to sign. Our goal is to build an international lobby. The UN Declaration talked about treaties being international and we know that First Nations have sovereignty, but Canada will not give it to us," said Okanee. "Indian people seem to be in a state of un-health, attributed to lifestyle and diet, as well as not being able to access our traditional healers and medicines," said Okanee. "We want to take control of our own health and the purpose of this gathering is to put together a work plan a...

Fruits and vegetables are generally a pretty low source of calcium," says Jay Morris, a researcher at Baylor College of Medicine's Children's Nutrition Research Center in Houston and lead author of a study published online in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "But if we can increase calcium in a wide variety of foods, we can have a modest effect in the amount of calcium available to people in their diets. As for echinacea, save your money. This popular alternative remedy "does not appear to prevent colds or other infections," according to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCAAM) -- a part of the National Institutes of Health. Studies also "have not proven that echinacea shortens the course of colds or flu." Two federally funded studies didn...

Many drugs deplete nutrients from an animal's body so supplements are a good idea for an animal on medication," says [Diehl]. "As well, certain diseases have been shown through research to be affected positively by vitamins and minerals. "For years I have also given my dogs raw garlic and black walnut to kill parasites, and vitamin E and coenzyme Q10 to keep their heart healthy and strong," [Cheryl Johnson] adds. "They are checked regularly by a vet and pass with flying colours." "Some vets are well educated on supplements and think they are a good idea and others are at the opposite end of the scale and feel that if an animal is on good-quality food they don't need them," notes Diehl. "It is still a rather new area in veterinary science. Manitoba falls behind other places in Canada i...

Yes, alternative medicine isn't just for people anymore. It's also being used to treat four-legged creatures. But it isn't just another indulgence for today's spoiled cats and dogs. Traditional Chinese medicine is proving to be an effective therapy for a range of pet illnesses, such as allergies, skin problems, asthma, urinary-tract issues, incontinence and lameness. It can also slow the progress of many chronic pet diseases, such as angina, congestive heart failure, diabetes and thyroid problems. Chinese medicine does not replace traditional veterinary care. It complements it," says [Linda Hamilton], noting that many of her patients are referred to her by other vets in the city when traditional western veterinary treatments are not working. "Before I treat an animal, I tell the owner ...

As [Michael Specter] says, "Unless data fits neatly into an already formed theory, a denialist doesn't really see it as data at all. Specter describes how some public-health investigators have required protection from angry anti-vaccine protesters. The U.S. National Institute of Health spends over $100 million annually for research into "Complementary and Alternative Medicine." The stories are often eye-opening. Irradiation is routinely employed to spur mutations in the service of "conventional" crop research, even in countries that vociferously oppose genetically modified crops.

There is a specific, custom brace to be worn for twisting sports after a complete ACL tear. Even if you have a partial ACL tear, there is a higher risk of going on to a complete tear in the first three months after your injury and you may want to use bracing for sports. There is a reconstructive surgery for a complete ACL tear, where a piece of your kneecap tendon is used to make a new ACL ligament. Discuss this alternative with your sport medicine physician. It is not uncommon for individuals to develop osteoarthritis in the knee where the ACL injury occurred, whether they undergo surgery or not. Thus, an ACL tear can have consequences that last for years to come. You may feel a pop when you tear your ACL. Most individuals will have swelling of their knee within the first few hours aft...

There's a major problem with human behaviour. Unlike elephants, humans have a great propensity to forget. In fact, they often forget to do the simplest of tasks such as taking medication on a regular basis. This pitfall can have dangerous consequences. Now, due to advanced technology, it's possible to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis (brittle bones) with just a single injection every year. And that's tough to forget! Bones are constantly being built up and broken down, and as we age we lose one per cent of our bone mass every year. Eventually, if women, in particular, don't take precautions to prevent osteoporosis, their bones look like Swiss cheese and can suddenly snap like a dry twig. A report in the New England Journal of Medicine offers a unique alternative medication Aclasta (zol...
