Dr. Ben Kim's Natural Health Newsletter

Dear Reader,
I'll always be thankful to the retired naturopathic
physician who told me about the Epley maneuver, a protocol
that one can use to successfully treat a type of vertigo
called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). I forget
his name, but in coming in to the teaching clinic where I was
an intern at 23 years of age, after receiving chiropractic
treatment, he shared a few protocols that he had used over the
years, the Epley maneuver being the one that he was clearly
most excited to demonstrate.
If you know anyone who struggles with intermittent dizziness
that doesn't have an obvious cause (typically related to the
cardiovascular system - hypotension, congestive issues), it
may be worth suggesting that they ask their physician to
consider the possibility of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
You can learn more about BPPV and the Epley maneuver that one
can use to address this type of dizziness here:

In some cases, the Epley maneuver can provide an immediate
cure for vertigo. I have experienced 3 such cases over the
years and remember each one vividly - the first was a mechanic
in his late 40s in Barrow, Alaska, the second was a nurse
in her early 60s in Nobleton, Ontario, and the third was
an attorney in her 50s from Dallas who came to stay at our
fasting clinic for a few weeks back in 2005. When a one-minute
procedure fixes a chronic health issue for someone, it feels
like magic, and such moments are forever seared into one's
memory. :)

The other night, I was on the floor stretching and doing some
mobility work while our boys were watching a Tim Allen movie
when a song from the film's soundtrack enveloped my tired
mind and brought back some lovely memories from my stay in
the Bay area back in the early 2000s.
I've long found music to be immensely therapeutic, so I share
the song here with hope that it provides a pleasant stroll
into the memory bank for even one person within our readership:

Being the last full week of summer vacation for our boys, I'm
planning on taking some time off of work over the next few days,
so this may be the only time you hear from me until after
Labour Day. I still plan on enjoying the back and forth sharing
and learning at Instagram and Facebook, so if you aren't already
connected with me, please feel free to via the following pages:
