H1N1: Frequently Asked Questions

October 30, 2009

It’s been a busy week! H1N1 is top of mind, and based on the emails, phone calls and visits, many of you feel like you’re faced with a difficult choice.

We’ve added an H1N1 FAQ to the website with some of the most common questions we’re fielding here at the office.

If you have a question that’s not listed, feel free to email us at feelbetter@stonetreeclinic.com - we’ll answer the question and add it to the list. You can also use the online contact form.

Remember that prevention is still the best strategy. Our popular immune boosting program is now in full swing. It uses regular high doses of vitamin C intravenously as a natural anti-microbial, and can be a great preventative strategy. It can also be used at first sign of symptoms to stop an illness in its tracks.

Treatments are comfortable and relaxing. For more information, or to schedule your appointment, call us at (705) 444-5331.

If you have concerns about H1N1, read the FAQ’s - there are links to other resources there, too. And of course, as always, if you have questions just contact us. That’s what we’re here for! -Tara

The Free and Easy Way to Health: The StoneTree Clinic Walking Club

May 6, 2009

One of the greatest challenges to becoming more active is that for many people, fitness can be a lonesome, unappealing idea.  To help make it easier, we’re excited to announce that we’ve started our free StoneTree Walking Club. It’s fun, friendly way to add more activity to your life.

We meet Monday through Friday, rain or shine, for a 45-minute walk on the trails and streets of Collingwood, led by one of the StoneTree team. The walks are free, and open to everyone  You don’t need to be a patient - bring a friend if you like!

Here are the hours right now, but you’ll want to check the main Walking Club page to make sure they’re current:

Mon: 8 AM
Tue:12 PM
Wed: 5 PM
Thu: 8 AM
Fri: 2 PM

We meet at the clinic in downtown Collingwood. No special skills or equipment required - just dress for the weather.

This is an easy way to get outside and get moving, and having someone to walk with always makes things more enjoyable.  I hope to see you there!

-Tara

PS - If walking’s too slow for you, you can try the great Collingwood running clinics offered by Sue Underhill and Dr. Ruth Hitchcock at www.runrunrun.ca. They offer Learn to Run and 10K clinics that make running a lot of fun!

Colon Hydrotherapy Comes to Collingwood

May 8, 2008

It’s finally here! We’re pleased to announce we’re now offering colon hydrotherapy treatments in our Collingwood naturopathic office. We’re now booking appointments for new and existing patients in our modern hydrotherapy suite.

Colon hydrotherapy (also called colonics, or colon irrigation) is a painless, safe and effective method of removing dried fecal matter and restoring the colon to optimal health and function. It’s one of many treatments used by licensed naturopaths to help:

  • restore and/or regulating bowel functions and routines
  • reduce the need for laxatives
  • reduce toxins built up in the colon
  • detoxify the liver and lymphatic system
  • prepare for medical procedures that require bowel preparation with laxatives
  • enhance the elimination of barium following barium studies

To learn more about how colon hydrotherapy works, visit our colonics page on our website, or call 705-444-5331 to book your appointment.
