Colonics are usually followed by sensation of feeling lighter, clean and energized, and sometimes by 1 to 3 lb less on the scale.  In 1917 in Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) Dr. Kellog wrote that out of over forty thousand clients with gastrointestinal disease, he had to use surgery in only twenty.   Using bowel cleansing, exercise and diet he was able to help the rest.

When your structure works right, your circulation works better, you feel better, you think better.”

This results in a deep relaxation and activation of the body’s self-correcting reflexes, which naturally bring the structure back into alignment. Unhealthy tension patterns resolve, while circulation, flexibility and range of motion increase. Additionally, rhythmic movements and isometrics or integrative exercises are used to help re-educate body for pain relief and self-healing, and reinforce the therapeutic effect of the treatment.

The technique was discovered in the 1960s by Doctor Ferdynand Barbasiewicz, of Poland, and has been researched and practiced for over forty years in Europe. It is new to Canada, and currently there are only thirteen practitioners, performing the therapy in this country. Clavitherapy is a unique method of detoxification that helps regulate the digestive, vegetative (brain function) and endocrine systems, and is applied in psychological and neurophysiologic rehabilitation.

Dr. Barbasiewicz performing Klawiterapia (Clavitherapy)

The treatment is performed with the use of special tools called clavicles, which are placed on the scalp and skin. The therapist holds 14 clavicles in each hand and gently stimulates cranial nerves, central nervous system on the spine and peripheral nervous system. The clavicles do not penetrate the skin, but rather are held in place by the therapist to evoke a response. Acupuncture meridians, as well as reflex therapy elements may also be applied in this treatment. The therapy adjusts personal electrical potentials and helps restore lost conduction of nerve signals in nerve fibers. The lost nerve signals, along with hormonally and chemically changed blood are reasons for susceptibility to ill health.

11.      Laser Therapy (Phototherapy) 1 hr $100 1 1/2 hrs $145

A special laser device is placed on specific areas of the body, including adrenals, thymus, vagus nerve and sacrum. Additionally, a few programs will be used for targeting problem areas. Relax, feel your breathing deepening, as laser is helping bring your hormonal system and entire body to homeostasis. The laser treatment is integrated with various massage therapy modalities.

Laser light can be very helpful for insomnia, pain relief, stress reduction, as well as it is used to improve lymph circulation and enhance immune system. According to published evidence, LT is at least equal to surgical and manual therapies for a range of pathologies including neck pain, tendonitis, tendonosis, and osteoarthritis. It is also used for nerve and other tissue regeneration, soft tissue injuries, scars, chronic pain, especially temporomandibular-related pain, and wound healing.

How laser light works: it donates photons to the cells and stimulates production of ATP (energy of cells), important for growth and regeneration of the cell, pretty much like sun rays stimulate plants to produce energy for growing big and juicy fruit. Laser Light also activates glands to produce hormones, acts positively on adrenals, and clears cellular memory, created as a result of stress and tension in the body. Tension traps energy and prevents its free flow through the body, which leads to rapid aging and disease. Everybody knows about connection between stress and stomach ulcers. Tension and trapped inside energy can also adversely influence liver and pancreas, and other organs. Releasing this tension will improve blood circulation and enhance the healing abilities of the body.

Seaweeds have a long history of being used in skincare and body wraps due to the wonderful results that they give. Kelp has a high vitamin and mineral content, anti-oxidants and regenerating nutrients as well as trace elements that are hard to find elsewhere, so when it is applied, it nourishes the skin and, indeed, the entire body, as these nutrients are absorbed.

Facial tension may be caused by our reaction to headache, eyestrain, sinus issues, sore throat, as well as stressful life situations. As a result we form habitual expressions that show to the world how we feel inside.  

Acupressure facial helps correct the internal imbalances that create the face’s wrinkles, sagging, discoloration, dark circles, or “bags” under the eyes. It encourages lymph drainage and enhances the skin’s ability to “breathe.” It stimulates the skin’s own ability for collagen production, softening the skin and smoothing wrinkles, and promotes normal secretion from the sweat and oil glands.

A must to try for vegans! Often tremendously increases energy. Consult with N.D., whether you have symptoms of this important vitamin deficiency.
BENEFITS AND INDICATIONS FOR VITAMIN B12

-          Vitamin B12 is a key element for preserving a balance in the human body. In combination with other B-group vitamins, vitamin B12 ensures the smooth functioning of vital life processes of the human body. It is important for maintaining a healthy nervous system and DNA production. Vitamin B12 helps to regulate the formation of red blood cells in the body. B12 is important in maintaining and increasing energy levels in the human body.

-          If you suffer from bursitis, B12 is a key vitamin to hasten recovery. Talk with Dr. Maltais if you have this condition. People who have vegan and raw food diets often will have a deficiency and will need to consider taking it. Also, people who suffer from reflux or heartburn very likely are not absorbing B12.

-          Vitamin B12 helps to curb atherosclerosis and counter heart diseases and thrombosis. The synthesis of S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), a compound involved in immune function and mood, depends on the association of folate and vitamin B12.

-          Studies indicate that absorption of Vitamin B12 decreases with an increase in age. Hence, an increased intake of vitamin B12 is extremely useful for adults above fifty. The recommended form of intake is via injection, since elderly people absorb this form better than food forms of vitamin B12. B12 aids in the cognitive function and heals neurological impairment within this group.

Vitamin B consists a group of eight water soluble vitamins that co-exist in certain food items. The eight subtypes of vitamin B are vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin), vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B7 (biotin), vitamin B9 (folic acid) and vitamin B12(riboflavin). In medical terms, nutritional supplements containing all these eight subtypes are called vitamin B complex or simply B complex.


The role of vitamin B is crucial for the normal functioning of the body. To mention a few, it is responsible for promoting cell growth, cell division, skin health, immune system, nervous system and also in controlling the bodily metabolic processes. Hence, it is obvious that prolonged deficiency of vitamin B leads to certain health complications. Considering this, supplements are formulated in the form of vitamin B complex tablets and injections in order to combat the risks of vitamin deficiency. Let's discuss in brief about vitamin B complex injection and its dosage, benefits and side effects.

Vitamin B Complex Injections

Vitamin B complex injections seem to be more effective in providing vitamin B to the body than other modes of administration (tablets, capsules and gels). The body enzymes and acids may alter the molecular structure of the vitamins once they are ingested. The injections are administered parenterally (not through digestive tract), mostly through intramuscularly or intravenously. They are more expensive than other B complex forms.

Vitamin B Complex Injection Benefits

Vitamin B complex injections aid in quick and maximum absorption of the vitamins by the body cells and tissues. Vitamin B complex injections are beneficial for people who have problems in taking oral vitamin supplements. There are numerous vitamin B complex benefits including: dermatitis, psoriasis, increased fatigue, neuritis, difficulty in assimilation, stomatitis, anemia, intoxication, fever, severe burn, pregnancy, increased metabolism, impaired digestive tract, prolonged diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, alcoholism, burnout conditions, exhaustion, excessive stress, adrenal exhaustion, and various other B vitamin deficiency.
