Colon Cancer – Preventable, Treatable, Beatable!
Thursday, April 7th, 2016
Colon cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death. Anyone can get colon cancer, and the risk of being diagnosed with colon cancer is 1 in 19. Many colon cancer deaths can be prevented by early and regular screenings. Screening tests locate polyps, which are tiny growths that can become cancerous. The goal in screening is to find colon cancer in its earliest stages and to remove polyps before they become cancerous. Colon cancer often appears without symptoms, so screening is essential in catching and stopping the disease early.Current guidelines recommend first getting screened at age 50 or earlier if you have a family history of the disease. When caught early, colon cancer is both treatable and beatable.
Cary Gastroenterology Associates, the Women’s Center for GI Health and South Wake Gastroenterology are committed to improving the health of our community by promoting and supporting colon cancer screening. Our staff is available to provide information on the importance of colon cancer screening and answer questions to ensure preventive screening becomes top priority.

Control Your Stress Before it Controls You
Tuesday, April 5th, 2016
It must be emphasized that the physiological changes associated with the acute stress response are absolutely necessary for survival in a stressful environment. If you could not produce these changes you could not deal with stress and you would die. HOWEVER, we are not designed to be under chronic stress. What was designed to be helpful in an acute fight or flight situation is now being stimulated chronically for days, weeks, months, years!
Is Inflammation Burning Down Your House?
Tuesday, April 5th, 2016
We all suffer from inflammation issues to varying degrees. Therefore, each of us needs to focus on reducing our individual inflammation issues, and diet is the key to realizing this goal.
Your Image Matters
Sunday, April 3rd, 2016
In your quest to create a professional image, be ever mindful that appearances count a lot towards creating a good first impression as well as ongoing interactions. This means abandoning T-Shirts for dress shirts, sneakers for closed-toe, work-appropriate shoes and your backpack for a briefcase or briefbag. Pay attention to the company dress code and plan to acquire a business wardrobe based on your budget as you grow. The key is presenting an image that says you are confident, credible, trustworthy and approachable. Work with in-store or hired image experts who can advise you accordingly. Making a good impression is important to your success.
Become Pain-Free Easily and Naturally!
Thursday, March 31st, 2016
Our workshops are very interactive and fun! We show people how their bodies can be realigned and balanced easily and quickly! We ask for volunteers for demonstration purposes. We also provide education on selecting proper footwear with guidance on assessing shoes for strength, stability, length, width, depth, lacing and tying (there are 47 ways to tie a shoe!).
The foundation of your health starts in your feet. Your feet support your entire body. If your feet are misaligned or imbalanced, your knees, hips, back, and shoulders can also become imbalanced, leading to chronic problems throughout your body. We can improve your overall health by properly supporting and balancing your foundation. By stabilizing and balancing your feet, we can help reduce pain and enhance your body’s comfort and performance. Our biomechanical assessments will reveal the root cause of your symptoms; however, we do not treat symptoms. Treating symptoms only masks the problems. We pinpoint the root cause and correct it!
We successfully help people with plantar fasciitis, bunions, hammer toes, neuropathy, neuromas, sciatic nerve pain, heel spurs, neck pain, etc.
Under Your Skin – What You Don
Thursday, March 31st, 2016
We discuss several symptoms that show up on the skin that may be early indicators of illness, and what to do about them. We briefly discuss the layers of the skin and the effects of damage and aging. At this workshop, several participants are able to see what their skin looks like underneath the outer layer – and what this will mean for the future.
Holistic Healing: The Mind, Body, Spirit Connection
Thursday, March 31st, 2016
The human energy field consists of many levels, each holding information on health, behavioral patterns, personal issues, and past events. Imbalances in the body are often a result of outdated emotional beliefs and behavioral patterns that no longer support your current dreams and aspirations.
Dr. Roy will discuss how these distortions in a person’s energy field can lead to “dis-ease” and pain. Holistic healing (also known as energy healing) can clear these blockages and allow the body to heal itself. Find out how to bring balance back into your body and rejuvenate your life in this lecture plus demonstration.
Dr. Roy has a doctorate in Metaphysical Science and Ministry, and a doctorate in Paranormal Psychology. He brings many years of private practice experience to his presentations.
