Canada Wellness Holidays - Big Hit in South Korea

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009
VANCOUVER, CANADA - OCTOBER 26: Ho-Suk Lee (C)...Image by Getty Images via Daylife
Canada wellness holidays are a big hit in South Korea. The country enjoys popularity as a wellness travel destination according to a story from the Canadian Press about a survey done by the Canadian Tourism Commission. Read the full Canadian Press story below:
“The economy has taken a bite out of the travel plans of many South Koreans but Canada is gaining ground as a destination for those who can still afford a trip, says a recent report.

The latest Canadian Tourism Commission Global Tourism Watch South Korea report found the local economy has a negative outlook due to inflationary pressures, a weak Won, faltering domestic demand and deteriorating prospects for exports.

But Canada has gained ground over some competitors, emerging as an outdoors destination market leader alongside Australia.

Canada has also made inroads with South Korean nature lovers, the tourism commission notes.

Urban centres such as Montreal, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver also attract Koreans. The wellness travel market in South Korea is hot, so there’s potential for Canadian spa-or resort-related vacations.

The Global Tourism Watch is a survey conducted by Harris/Decima Research, in which thousands of participants from around the world comment on how they perceive Canada and CTC’s “Canada. Keep exploring” tourism brand.”

Canada Wellness People: Minister’s Remarks Puts Chiropractors Under the Spotlight

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009
Gary GoodyearImage via Wikipedia

The Globe & Mail’s FrontPage report entitled the Science Minister won’t confirm Belief in Evolution has provoked a lively debate between on the one hand Canadian Bloggers outraged by the Jonathan Kay on The Globe & Mail’s appalling front-page smear on religious … and  on the other hand those who started praying in despair that the Lord help this country. Because science apparently won’t..

Honourable Gary Goodyear, Canada’s Science and Technology Minister, the man at the centre of the controversy over federal funding cuts to researchers, is reported to have sparked the controversy by declining to confirm in an interview, whether he believes in evolution. He is quoted as having replied as follows:.

”I’m not going to answer that question. I am a Christian, and I don’t think anybody asking a question about my religion is appropriate,”

Instead of going into the widely discussed merits and demerits of the statement, we wanted to find as the  Honourable Minister is a chiropractor by training,  how chiropractors are making news in other countries of the world. The following is a quick Tour du Monde of Chiropractor stories as reported by media around the world during this week.

The US Mitchell County Press-News reports that a Local chiropractor welcomes space age technology . It says the local Street Chiropractic has upgraded it’s level of care to include technology that has benefited NASA, Super Bowl champions, Olympic Gold medallists and numerous A-list celebrities…

The Record and Herald News reports that Chiropractors wrestle with robber in Clifton. Chiropractics James Hubert and Terry Watts apparently witnessed “a screaming woman chasing a man” near their chiropractic Centre on Allwood Road, and they could hardly believe their eyes… and wouldn’t the miss the opportunity to join the wrestling game… ·

The Malaysian Malay Mail reports that Chiropractors occupied centre stage at the Therapies at the Health and Happiness Festival 2009 which also featured participants exhibiting Spiritual Healing · Stress Relief · Yoga · Acupuncture · Alternative Healing · Aromatherapy · Aura Photography and Reading · Chakra Balancing · Chiropractors · Massages · Shiatsu · Color Therapy · DNA Transformation · Iridiology · Traditional Chinese Medicine · Reiki · Energy Healing · Quantum Touch · Pranic Healing · Resonnance Therapy · Sound Healing · Reflexology · Meditation · Pilates · … ·

The US Phillyist in Craiglist Round Up: The Chiropractor Edition that the chiropractic field is busy on Craig’s List these days: Trade your chimney sweeping skills , driveway removal skills , floor tiling skills , family room carpeting skills , just plain old anything skills , or your beach house for some chiropractoring. One dirty ass pick up truck for barter. Surely, someone is in the market for two …

The US Carrollton Leader reports that Spinal health key to staying young . It says “people are living longer these days compared to 100 years ago. By 2050, research suggests 800,000 Americans will be over 100 and that many people will live to be 150 and thus confirm the growing demand for chiropractic services in the coming years.

The New Zealand Herald complains that Spinal Care Costs NZ $13.5 Million a Year to the delight of local chiropractors. It say that “Taxpayers are forking out $13.5 million a year to send New Zealanders to chiropractors - 50 per cent more than five years ago. But debate still rages over whether the treatment works, with some GPs advising the treatment should… ·”

The Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development, in announcing the Government of Canada’s support through the Enabling Accessibility Fund (EAF) to the North East Centre of Community Society (NECCS) said, “Our goal is to make sure that the Genesis Centre will be accessible to everyone, regardless of ability, age, language, background or economic status,”

The EAF is part of a $45-million, three-year commitment to expand opportunities for people with disabilities and improve accessibility across Canada.

The EAF has two funding streams: small projects and major projects. Participatory abilities centres assist people with varying abilities, supporting social and labour market integration.

They encourage the pursuit of knowledge, skills development, and physical and mental health Centres may offer services and programs ranging from fitness instruction to educational activities to art therapy. Read About the background to this story at Accessability International News

Canada’s Healthcare System - Reactionary to the Last Dollar

Sunday, March 15th, 2009
Moore's most recent film, Sicko, released in 2007.Image via Wikipedia

The current topic dominating the headlines of the news pertains to the financial downward spiral the world is reacting to. Governments around the globe are responding to this potential recession by injecting billions of dollars into major industries such as banks and auto companies to keep them afloat and keep the economic engines running. Having come from a background of healthcare, I am familiar with the concept of reacting to potential crises rather than proactively preparing and avoiding the situation. However, it is becoming clearer that the response of our governments to our economic situation can be compared to our healthcare system.

Despite what Michael Moore has led us to believe, the Canadian healthcare system that we view as enormously superior to the American healthcare disaster is not perfect. It is based on a reactionary premise. According the World Health Organization rankings of healthcare systems countries like Andorra (4th), Malta (5th), Singapore (6th), and the United Kingdom (18th) place ahead of Canada’s admired healthcare system, ranked 30th overall. Perhaps most concerning to Canadians, the United States ranked 37th. Not so far behind for a system that we look upon with such distain. So despite ranking in the top ten in expenditure per capita the WHO shows disconnect where overall health of our system and the approach we take to patient care earn us a 30th place ribbon. Perhaps the reasons for this disconnect lies partially in the nature of our system. In healthcare classrooms across the country it is taught that healthcare is set up to combat and cure disease and ailments; a reactive system. For example, a diabetes program or a cancer clinic will always take priority in the minds of Canadians as well as funding models over a healthy living course or a non-smoking program, and let me state, to a certain extent, it should. But let’s evaluate the system for what it is, and consider the outcome if we could create a system in which we could prevent some of these diseases from developing or exacerbating symptoms? Aside from the obvious health benefits to the patients, the financial ramifications would be enormous. Let’s consider diabetes type II which has shown poor diet and a lack of exercise can contribute to the disease or worsening of symptoms often leading to hospital visits and admissions for such things as peripheral vascular disease and obesity. Of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care Ontario’s 40 billion dollar budget, 10 percent is spent on combating the disease. In a time where funding is being cut not increased, if we could save a small percentage of that budget by implementing healthy living and wellness programs throughout communities in the province, tens of millions of dollars could be redirected to other areas of need. Looking at the National Health Service (NHS), the UK’s version of OHIP (remember, ranking 12 spots HIGHER than Canada), healthcare practitioners are encouraged to make these changes with financial incentives such as funding physician visits per preventative treatment.

Now I realize the proactive approach is the less glamorous of the two options. At the end of the day, there is no answer, there is no cure, and there is no television show re-enacting the action packed education session. I also realize it certainly isn’t as simple as placing a few clinics around town and pocketing the millions tomorrow. The proactive approach to providing health care requires long term projects involving major restructuring and are typically unpopular with politicians because they rarely have the opportunity to see the effects of the change during their political term; making the proactive style a hard sell. We are at a point in time where we should start thinking bigger then ourselves and start designing our system in order to prevent some of these diseases ahead of time rather then reacting to them when it’s too late for both the system and the patient. Can we not try to learn something from the situation major industries such as banking and the auto sector find themselves in? Or will we continue to react after the crises has occurred instead of investing in our healthcare system before we find ourselves looking up on the WHO ranking and from our wallets at our unfortunate Americans who pay out of pocket for their healthcare.

Focus on Canada Wellness iN Tune People: Cecil McCintosh-Master Relaxation Mentor

Monday, March 9th, 2009
A yellow and red Pride of Barbados.Image via Wikipedia

In this weeks Focus on Canada Wellness iN Tune (WiN) People,  we feature Cecil McIntosh, B.B.M, C.Ht., Master Relaxation Mentor and author of 21 Stress Stopper Formulas and multiple audio products teaching How To Convert Fear and Anger into Peace and Power. Cecil lives and practices in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. He was born in Barbados and concedes that his teachings are the result of the lessons he summoned from the devastating experience he lived through 16 years ago.

As he explains himself: “I was a stressed out entrepreneur. I was bankrupt, had a broken marriage and I was crippled by undiagnosed back pain. Three years later I was pain-free and had the money and the marriage I always dreamed of.”

Cecil attributes the misery that he went through and that most of us go through everyday to our “desire to acquire the ALMIGHTY dollar at any cost”. He says this was contrary to the teachings of his grand parents and parents who emphasized that whilst earning money was important, living a balanced lifestyle was even more important.

Cecil pledged to pass on the lessons learned from this turning point in his life and thus an extremely successful mentoring practice was born in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada which has allowed him over the years to earn the respect of his peers and of his clients. Cecil is sought by celebrities, entrepreneurs and top performance athletes to transform the crippling demons from within, which hold us back into powerful allies cheering us to new success.

As Cecil says, “I now understand, (happiness) is an inside job which begins with the ability to RELAX. I found my passion by going inside. I have learnt to have the FAITH to intuitively listen and act (TRUST) immediately on any messages I receive. This is how I arrived at the TRUTH. Now you know how I was able to heal my crippling back pain and develop the Empty your cup® Process. Today, I run the world’s leading institute on turning stress into success with a goal to transform one million lives.”

Cecil says that the world would be a different and much better place if each person became consciously aware of their capacity to relax and to help others relax using the EYC™ Process which he developed and fine tuned over a 14 year period with glowing testimonials from satisfied users from around the world. EYC does not stand for the Episcopal Youth Community which passes for the same acronymn - It is the abbreviation for Empty Your Cup, the metaphor Cecil uses for Getting Rid of Your Stress.

The EYCTM Process is a simple, logical, easy- to-apply system based on THREE steps which are simple ceremonies of the mind for transforming stress into success.

The first step in the EYCTM Process is for creating daily balance.

The second step helps in managing daily stress challenges.

The third step is for harnessing your inner power.

Learn more about Cecil McIntosh, Master Relaxation Mentor and his products helping one Converting Fear and Anger into Peace and Power at his EYCTMProcess website or follow him here on twitter @stressless

As from late 2008 Air Canada has introduced an Inflight Wellness Entertainment program based on My Yoga Online prepared Online Wellness Podcasts.  the Podcasts are inspired by oriental yoga wisdom and traditions It is found to be highly effective in a travel environment where people are confined to a small space for extended periods of time.

The chair used to simulate in-flight sitting positions was provided by Vancouver’s Inform Interiors.
