I was diagnosed with lung cancer January 17, 2010.

I saw a lung specialist Regina about two weeks later. He wanted me to rush into having a needle biopsy, surgery, chemo, and radiation. I have, over the years, watched many family and friends go through the medical system with pain and no quality of life; so the decision to refuse that was easy for me.

My naturopath suggested I get vitamin C intravenous hydrogen peroxide therapy and supplements. I assumed I would need to go to the states for the spare piece. To find Dr. Ceaser in Canada and so close to home was really appreciated.

Tennis elbow can be a chronic debilitating syndrome that is often refractory to conservative care that has a high quality-of-life and work impact. It is often caused by overuse, strain or injury to the tendon that attaches to the bone on the outside of the elbow (lateral epicondyle), often from painting, hammering, using a screwdriver or from playing tennis. There are billions of dollars of direct and indirect costs to the treatment of lateral epicondylitis. Conventional therapies such as anti-inflammatory meds, physiotherapy or steroid injections, do not treat the underlying pathology. Platelet-rich plasma is a new cutting edge injection technique for treatment of pain that treats the underlying pathology.

Prolotherapy: Prolotherapy is an injection therapy for treatment of pain and tendon/ligament injury. The concept of prolotherapy involves strengthening the ligaments and tendons of the body by injection of a proliferative agent, thus the name prolo-therapy. Nerves run within the ligaments and tendons and can be stretched if they are weak. Muscles must work overtime to compensate for loose ligaments.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a natural non-surgical injection technique for the treatment of pain that uses the body’s own platelets to not only decrease pain but also to heal and rapidly regenerate damaged joints and tissue. Yes, that’s right! Joints, ligaments, tendons, menisci and muscle tissue can be repaired with the use of PRP, meaning that permanent healing is possible and pain killers and aching joints may be a thing of the past.
