WHAT:	Homeopathy and Menopause Menopause can be a distressing time as it is often associated with sleeping problems, night sweats, and hot flashes day or night, irritation, and feeling totally mis-understood and power-less. This normal transition to a menses-free life can be a real challenge for our loved ones and for us, but it does not have to be this way. Homeopathy can help us with these changes while becoming stronger and empowered and in the process learning to honor yourself. Pre-registration is recommended by phoning 604-927-6940.

BC: Gibsons

WHEN:	Wednesday, April 14, 7 - 8 pm
WHO:	Lynn Mackay
WHAT:	Introductory Workshop This year’s theme on Mental Well-being is all about getting the body and mind in balance. Homeopathy is a complete medicine system that addresses the core energy of each individual person – this includes mental, emotional and physical symptoms. Some say it also includes spiritual symptoms. Intuitively we know that we are so much more than the sum of our parts. Classical Homeopathy aims to restore that balance by addressing your health as a whole being. People who have been given homeopathic remedies frequently say, “I feel more like myself than ever.” Often symptoms that they have not even mentioned have disappeared. Most people at some point express surprise and say, “I don’t even think about that (problem or symptom) anymore!” Homeopathy can help anxiety attacks, behavioural problems, depression, compulsive disorders, eating disorders, fears and phobias, grief, hyperactivity, insomnia and much more. Come to the introductory workshop and find out for yourself! Bring your questions and begin the journey back to balance in your life.

Homeopathy gently stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanism and addresses the underlying causes of each person’s physical, emotional, and spiritual imbalance. Homeopathic essential cleansing is tailored to each individual based on the patient’s unique nature and stimulates the healing from the root cause.

WHEN:	April 17
WHO:	Carol York
WHAT:	Letter to the Editor Re: "Believing weird things can be dangerous," Rob Breakenridge, Opinion, April 13. Perhaps Rob Breakenridge should get his facts together before he speaks out against homeopathy. If he had, he might have found numerous studies on the efficacy of this safe and affordable system of medicine. Homeopathy is used successfully for babies, animals and in agriculture -- now tell me how the placebo effect works on them, Rob. It doesn't, but because it is not explained in a conventional manner, should it be dismissed? No. Should we also dismiss gravity? After all, this can't be explained, either. I am a homeopath and I work with three other homeopaths at Xerion Homeopathie. We have people visit every day who are astounded at the power of homeopathy. Their typical response is "Why doesn't everyone know about this?" World Homeopathy Awareness Week helps make this happen. Carol York, Calgary
