DETOXIFICATION – AN URBAN SURVIVAL GUIDE
with Dr. Jozef Krop, MD  (Mississauga, Ont)

Standard air pollution causes more deaths per year than breast cancer, prostate cancer, and automobile accidents. According to the Canadian Medical Association, 21,000 Canadians died last year from pollution. Hundreds of thousands more required medical treatment. This staggering statistic reveals that society must prepare for an increase in pollution related diseases such as fibromyalgia, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure and cancer. In this lecture, medical pioneer Dr. Krop will explain the secret to longevity in the 21st Century – which pollutants you should be worried about, how to avoid them, and how you can detoxify from the daily onslaught of poison that you cannot avoid. Dr. Krop is one of Canada's best known practitioners of patient-based medicine, having fought for patient's rights in a landmark case at the CPSO in the 1990s.  He is author of Healing the Planet, One Patient at a Time, and is currently practising environmental medicine in Mississauga, Ont.

THE HIDDEN MESSAGE IS WATER

with Alan Park & Lamont Alexandre

The obvious yet overlooked reality is that the so-called 'health crisis' is
being looked upon in reverse. It's actually a sickness crisis. There is no
crisis with good health. And there is no more accessible way to assure your
health than by alkalizing your own body. Taking responsibility for ourselves
is not always easy, thanks to fast food advertising and the increasingly
unhealthy environment that we all share. There is nothing more important
than a healthy supply of water, and no better type than alkaline,
hexagonally structured, ionized Kangen water. We have the best machine in
production for close to 40 years in Japanese hospitals and we want you to
benefit from it. Alan Park is a Comedian and Healthful Lifestyle coach;
Lamont is a Wellness Broker.
