Program # 19
If you're a hockey fan, you know Ron Ellis. He helped the Toronto Maple Leafs win their last Stanley Cup in 1967 and he played for Team Canada in that fateful 1972 Canada-Russia series. But after retiring from hockey, Ron Ellis struggled for years with depression. He's not alone, but men are less likely than women to seek help for depression, putting them at greater risk. Tonight, Ron Ellis shares his personal journey with us. Ron Ellis credits the Homewood Health centre for helping him with his recovery.
If you want more information about the Homewood Health Centre, you can call the admitting office at (519) 824-1010. Or check out their web site at: http://www.homewoodhealth.com
So many Canadians were hit with the flu this winter, that some were calling it an epidemic. But that strain of influenza was the same boring old regular flu we've fought for decades. The next flu pandemic is what Dr. Kevin Kane is concerned about. That and other emerging disease in Canada. Dr. Kain is the director of the Centre for Travel and Tropical Medicine at the Toronto General Hospital.
Second Opinion
A few weeks ago on Your Health, Dr. Hamilton Hall said he had no problem using natural or complementary remedies. He just wants scientific proof they work first. Ruth Ann Baron is a naturopathic doctor. She says there's a double standard at work here.
