Health Tips!
Nutter's Health food store, a member of the Jasper community, will be sharing health tips.
Eat a clean diet of whole foods. Plenty of raw or slightly steamed vegetables; especially green foods. Eat lots of lean proteins(raw nuts, fish, chicken, turkey, and beans) to supply the muscles with energy. Flaxseeds/oil andfish oils contain Omega 3 fatty acids, which decrease inflammation.

Mission Statement
Although we share the highway of Chronic pain
Our paths are not the same
Some of will choose the naturopath
Some of us will choose the medical path
Some of us will choose a blended path
Together we can make our own path
Carrying, Dragging or being burdened
By our pain
We can choose to support, accept, respect and guide
Each other through the difficult terrain

Our symbol for the group

Guidelines:
1. Respect each other
Experience everybody or everything in your life as either a teacher or a lover
2. Respect our self
What lies behind us and what lies before us are small compared to what lies within us
3. Respect our illness
When life throws you a curve it is to teach you how to bend
4. Be open to experience
Fall seven times, stand up eight
5. Live loud
Death is not the greatest loss in life; the greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live
