UPDATED: Dr. Bonnie Henry made a clarification to the announcement mentioned below to confirm that this does NOT apply to allied health professionals such as the professionals at Lakeside Health nor our patients. Therefore we will return to our original policy....masks are still required but not necessarily medical grade (although these are still available). Please ensure your mask is well fitted, covers the nose and mouth, with layers. Again we thank you for your ongoin...g support. *********************************** The Ministry of Health has issued a policy on November 4, 2020, requiring individuals *working in* or *visiting* a healthcare clinical setting to wear a medical mask. The guidance is based on current evidence about the way in which COVID-19 is transmitted. It applies to all health care settings in all health authority regions in the province and is effective immediately. Please help us with this new direction. Medical grade masks are available for purchase at the clinic as well. We greatly appreciate your patience and thank you for your ongoing support during these unprecedented times. . . . . . . . . . . #lakesidehealth #salmonarm #shuswap #ministryofhealth #covid19 #medicalmasks

With just a little ( ), the earlier breast cancer can be diagnosed and the better chance of successful treatment. While more people are surviving a breast cancer diagnosis than ever before, it is still the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death among Canadian women. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Some complementary treatments for cancer, such as Acupuncture, have been well researched. Studies show that acupuncture may ...help relieve hot flashes caused by some breast cancer treatments. A large, rigorous clinical trial (link in comments below) showed that acupuncture may reduce joint pain caused by aromatase inhibitors in women with breast cancer. In a review published in 2018 of 8 studies of the effects of acupuncture on symptoms related to breast cancer: "3 investigated lymphedema, 2 investigated chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, 1 investigated hot flushes, 1 investigated constipation, and 2 investigated miscellaneous symptoms in breast cancer survivors; all studies concluded that acupuncture can alleviate the symptom in question."
