On Thursday, October 21, Dr. Larry will be conducting a Wellness Class at the Parksville PharmaSave as part of their very popular Living Well Lecture Series. The main purpose of this lecture is to educate and give participants the opportunity to make better informed choices concerning their health and the health of their families and loved ones.

Many of us are aware that more and more people are choosing alternative (nonmedical) practitioners over general practitioners and/or physicians. Even more of us are aware that the reason for this is because the medical system is NOT working!

Most alternative health practices, and certainly chiropractic -- hold to the axiom that the human body is a self-healing mechanism. Further, the nervous system is the master system of the body. Dr. Larry illustrates how chiropractic works to remove and prevent interference with the innate abilities of the mechanism and its master system.

He will also illustrate how we MUST change from a sickness based model of 'health' care to a wellness based model. One that is based on keeping the body functioning at 100% all of the time -- one that moves away from the pharmaceutical "treatment" of symptoms and towards the innate healing ability of our bodies.

All participants will receive attendance rewards. The Parksville PharmaSave will be giving attendees discounts on several selected products including the highly recommended and very popular fitness ball. The store carries three different brands of balls varying in price. They also have pedometers and Jamieson products featured at a discounted price.

As well, Dr. Larry will be offering special incentives to participants. Plan to attend for the valuable information as well as the rewards.

So, remember, Thursday, October 21, at 1:30 at the Parksville PharmaSave (at Pioneer Plaza). Call Lisa at 951-0227 at PharmaSave or Nancy at Dr. Larry's - 248-6333.

If you have not attended any of these workshops before, the entrance to the lecture room is through the door to the right of the store entrance. Listen for the promotional spots on the local radio station -- 88.5 fm "The Beach". We hope to see you there.

COMING SOON:

Be sure to watch for announcements regarding other businesses in the Parksville area with whom we have formed an affinity group. These include, of course, Parksville PharmaSave, Fitness Connection, M&N Furniture and Mulberry Bush Book Store. We will be coordinating special presentations and reward incentive programs with these and others in the future.

Special Note:

We also have available at our office some very interesting information on the latest announcement regarding the recall of Vioxx and some suggestions for non-pharmaceutical anti-inflammatories and pain relievers. Come in and we can talk. I might even have some of my own organic apples to give away.
