Year In Review – Family Health in 2009

Posted by Robin Rivers on December 25th, 2009 No Comments Printer-Friendly

Editor’s Note: If you missed this morning’s post, check out Assistant Editor Bevin Clempson’s tips for reducing holiday waste HERE. Now, it’s time for a trip in the way back machine to check out 365 days of preventative health care with Dr. Amy Wells:

If there is one thing that has dominated family life this year in terms of health, it’s been the flu – particularly H1N1. From the first outbreaks to widespread sickness and mass vaccinations, keeping our immune systems strong and keeping on top of preventative health was at the top of the list.

Comox Valley Naturopath Dr. Amy Wells dealt with these issues head-on – some were controversial, some were common sense, many opened our eyes and gave us new tools to help keep our families healthy.
