Your Health - Exercise improves cancer patients quality of Life
Carolyn Kaelin believes exercise can help women with breast cancer and not just because she’s a doctor.  She is also a patient.   Diagnosed with breast cancer she had chemotherapy, a mastectomy and is currently undergoing breast reconstruction.  But that doesn’t stop her getting to the gym whenever possible.

“It’s the one thing that I can do for myself that I know is beneficial” says Kaelin, director of the Comprehensive Breast Health Centre at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston

Experts say physical activity appears to help not only breast cancer patients but those with other malignancies as well.  It can lift depression and reduce the treatment side affects like fatigue and nausea.   Weight bearing activity can help counteract some of the bone loss that occurs with chemotherapy and leads to fractures down the line. 

Follow- up - Vitamin C / Preventing and Reversing Heart Disease
Dr Thomas Levy, US Cardiologist was a huge hit and thoroughly enlightening!  Dr Levy wowed his 700 plus audience on Wednesday night at the Bruce Mason Centre.  For those who were unable to attend but would like a DVD copy of his lecture, please contact info@imhealth.net
