Prolotherapy is an injection technique used to help repair damaged tendons and ligaments and originates from the term “proliferation therapy”. Unfortunately these tissues are often damaged and don’t fully heal leading to long term pain. This is because those tissues have a limited ability to heal themselves partly due to having less blood flow. Prolotherapy injections help stimulate healing even long after the injury has occurred.
Some statistics state that 40% of Canadians have high cholesterol and many people want to avoid going on medication for it if they can. Diet and lifestyle changes can make a surprisingly big difference in these values without needing to go on statin medications or even supplements. The Portfolio diet has been researched to lower LDL levels (“Bad cholesterol”) by 20% which is comparable to statins.
