Colorectal Cancer Canada

Colorectal cancer is currently the second leading cause of cancer death overall for men and women in Canada. Approximately 22 500 people will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer this year and sadly 9 100 will die of the disease. Despite these shocking numbers, the disease is still not well known or well understood. Current scientific literature indicates that up to 90% or more of colorectal cancer can be successfully treated or prevented through early detection and removal of pre-cancerous polyps and through diet and regular exercise.

LIFE Recovery Association

L.I.F.E. Recovery is an acronym for ‘Living In Freedom Everyday’. This facility begins by looking at the causes – the roots – of addiction: the heart. It begins with the understanding that addicts are caught in the grip of an overwhelming compulsion and that only with God’s power and their own will can they be set free. Life Recovery, a charitable, non-denominational, women only facility, takes a positive and holistic approach to overcoming an array of addictions. As a registered charity, the organization depends heavily on sponsorships and donations to carry out its programs. By means of recognized programs, such as Alcoholics- and Narcotics Anonymous, as well as, a comprehensive Life Skills program and intense group and one-on-one Christian counseling, L.I.F.E Recovery hopes to rehabilitate the whole person – spirit, soul and body.
