"A recent survey in Esquimalt showing an increasing number of residents relying on paid-subscription-based primary care clinics is the predictable result of an ongoing shortage of family physicians, says the B.C. Conservatives’ rural health critic. “There’s no walk-in clinics left down there anymore, . . .other than to go and sit in an ER for 12 hours, potentially.”" Doctors and nurse are not merely being "poached" by private medical clinics but most have not been hired back after mandates lifted for the public. "Subscriptions range from $80 to $250 a month for individuals, with a discount for paying annually, and $120 a month or about $1,200 annually for a family." "Osborne said the Health Ministry is committed to making sure access to quality health care “is based on need, not ability to pay.”" Here in Canada, our taxes pay for basic healthcare. The way Canadians look at accessing healthcare services is shifting, and the more Canadians will need to pay out of pocket for services they used to take for granted. Accessing natural health options requires a mindset shift, moving from emergency care to preventive care, to giving the body the tools it needs to begin the task of healing going forward. People who want herbal medicine while still respecting what modern science has taught us, will appreciate the phytotherapeutic approach given in my current book project. When this project is done, it will inform other book projects in the pipeline. But it's time Canadians get used to the idea of paid health care, because the alternative is increasinly, death.

When Pregnancy Changes Your Nose Too (Yes, It’s a Thing) Pregnancy already comes with enough surprises, and noticing changes in your face can feel a little unsettling. Many moms first realize it while looking at photos, video calls, or their reflection after a long day. The nose may look wider, puffier, or just different than before, even though nothing hurts. This change often happens quietly as hormones rise and the body holds more fluid to support the baby. While it’s common, very few people talk about it openly, which can make moms feel unsure or even self-conscious.

This study, published in April 2024, made a splash in news outlets such as the Associated Press and Reuters because it leveraged climate guilt to achieve green ends. 🇨🇦 #MarkCarneyCantBeTrusted 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 #SayingTheQuietPartOutLoud 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 #JustSayNoMore 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 #CarneyLies 🇨🇦 https://wimkin.com/johnburke/?link-id=6281953

The science of STAYING WARM: Mastering the art of layering in freezing temperatures! Instead of one thick coat, use multiple thin layers for better heat retention and moisture control. The three-layer system includes the base layer (moisture-wicking fabric keeps skin dry), the middle layer (insulating fabric traps heat without restricting movement), and the outer layer (waterproof/windproof jacket shields against elements). Avoid using cotton – it retains moisture, increasing heat loss and frostbite risk. Hats, gloves, neck warmers and insulated boots prevent heat from escaping. Remove layers or slow down to prevent overheating and sweat buildup. https://newstarget.com/2025-12-05-science-of-staying-warm-art-of-layering.html
