Take Charge of Your Health Toronto, February 10, 2004 - Ontarians can learn about diet
and lifestyle changes that may significantly improve their health
when The Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM) hosts
its annual Health and Wellness Fair. The event takes place on Sunday,
March 28, 2004, during National Nutrition month. Naturopathic medicine focuses on the whole person. Every aspect of a person's lifestyle is examined as part of the process to improve overall health and prevent disease. Nutrition, one of the cornerstones of naturopathic medicine, is the theme of CCNM's Health and Wellness Fair. Attendees will be able to participate in a variety of demonstrations and information sessions. A popular option is the free personalized naturopathic health overview, using traditional Chinese tongue and pulse tests, diet analysis and musculo-skeletal analysis. A series of information sessions will examine nutrition from several angles. Topics include Multivitamins: Who needs them?, Trans Fat: Hiding out in your food and Nutrition: A Traditional Chinese Perspective, not just take-out with chopsticks. Tours of the on-site Robert Schad Naturopathic Clinic will be offered. Prospective students will be able to learn about the college's academic program and meet the professors. Refreshments and door prizes will be available. Details are posted at www.ccnm.edu. The college is located at 1255 Sheppard Ave. East, at Leslie subway station. Admission is free, and doors will be open to the public between 12 - 5 p.m. The Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, established in 1978, offers Canada's only accredited four-year, full time professional program in naturopathic medicine. Graduates receive a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (ND) diploma. The college is home to the Robert Schad Naturopathic Clinic, where students train under the direction of regulated naturopathic doctors. Interns use safe, non-invasive therapies and gentle techniques. - 30 -
