Cold and flu prevention 2011/2012
by Kate Whimster, BCom, MIFHI, ND
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure... Save time and money this winter by preventing cold and flu! Although there is lots of hype each year about cold and flu season, there’s no need to worry if you’re prepared. Wouldn’t you rather prevent colds, flu, sinus infections, sore throats, and bronchitis this year?
Cold and flu prevention plan
If you are an existing patient, book yourself for a 30-minute follow-up visit to get your personalized cold and flu prevention recommendations based on your specific needs. If you are a new patient, book an initial visit in which we will create a cold and flu prevention plan and get you started treating any other health concerns. We will work together to come up with a plan that fits your needs, whether you choose homeopathic flu prevention (see below) or other nutrition and lifestyle choices to keep you healthy all winter.
This is also a great opportunity to connect with natural medicine as a treatment option if you do get sick. Remember, I offer short-notice acute visits, so don’t hesitate to call the office - I can usually fit you in the same day or within a day or two for immediate treatment and to give you take-home recommendations to help you get better quicker.
Homeopathic flu prevention program
Once again, Kew Beach Natural Health Clinic is running our ever-growing homeopathic flu prevention program! You can participate in the program at either of my clinic locations.
Participants historically have very few flu incidents over the winter, even though family members and co-workers may become ill. Flu symptoms may be much milder and of shorter duration than non-homeopathically protected people. Many participants no longer experience the flu at all!
How does it work?
The Homeopathic Flu Prevention Program is an ongoing research study conducted by Helena Ovens, ND. Your participation is voluntary and appreciated.
1. To participate you must currently be in good health and you must not have had a flu shot since April 15, 2011.
2. Fill out an intake form and call Kew Beach Natural Health Clinic or Mahaya Forest Hill Integrative Health to arrange at time to drop it off and pick up your remedy. You will be given a 6-month supply of homeopathic pellets, an instruction sheet, and a form to record any “flu-like” symptoms. There is a $5.00 administrative fee per adult (children are free) to cover the costs of materials and remedies.
3. Take 1 pellet of the remedy once per month on the same day to prevent the flu. If you have any “flu-like” symptoms, record them on the form.
4. Return your form by the end of April 2011 by fax, email, in-person, or by mail. It is very important that you return your form (whether you experienced “flu-like” symptoms or not) so that we can track the success of the program.
We look forward to helping you have a healthy, flu-free season!

Big news! My practice (well, part of it) is moving!
10/Mar/11 12:55 PM Filed in: My practice | News
by Kate Whimster, BCom, MIFHI, ND
Big news! As of April 1st, 2011, I will no longer be practicing at Rosedale Natural Health Clinic and instead will be practicing at Mahaya Forest Hill Integrative Health. I am excited that this move will allow me to expand services for my patients at a clinic that best fits my practice style and philosophy. I will continue to practice at Kew Beach Natural Health Clinic in the Beaches.
Mahaya Forest Hill Integrative Health
Mahaya Forest Hill is a truly integrative clinic, offering naturopathic medicine, registered massage therapy, acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, osteopathy, and chiropractic care. In coming months the clinic will also be adding a medical doctor who will be available exclusively to Mahaya patients to provide services covered by Ontario’s provincial health plan. At Mahaya Forest Hill I will be able to expand my practice to offer naturopathic gynecology, lab testing, and more botanical medicine via custom botanical formulas (from the on-site dispensary), in addition to the therapies and services I already offer.
Location and Hours:
Mahaya is located at 73 Warren Road, just west of Avenue Road on St. Clair. The clinic is easily accessible from either the St. Clair or St. Clair West subway stations by either a short walk or streetcar along St. Clair. There is also free parking available in the clinic’s lot or on the street. Please see the map below.
I have modified my hours to be more convenient. I will be available Fridays 8am to 8pm and Saturdays 8am to 5pm at Mahaya.
Book an appointment:
You can begin booking appointments for April immediately: call 416-792-4400 or go to the Mahaya Forest Hill website and click on the top right corner to use the online booking system.
