Healthy Home

Good health starts at home. Canadians are engaged in managing their own health care! An Ipso Reid study in 2004, conducted for the Non Prescription Drug Manufactures Association indicated 54% of Canadians intend to be more pro-active, in self care. In the last 5 years Canadians have concluded proactive health management is one way to stay off 'waiting lists'. Interestingly, the study indicated more would do so, if a source of reliable un-filtered information were readily available. Self-care places high emphasis on choice, options, and alternatives. Former Prime Minister Trudeau once said governments had no business in the bedrooms of the nation. Perhaps a similar admonition, can be applied to facilitating Canadians' ability to manage self care.
