Wes, a resident of the Edmonton area currently transitioning out of a long career in the transportation industry, shares his journey toward a more proactive and empowered approach to health. Reflecting on the past decade, Wes notes a significant shift in his perspective – moving away from the passive acceptance of pain and age-related decline toward a philosophy of mindfulness and active self-care.
In his professional life, Wes observed a culture of endurance, where physical limitations – such as a restricted range of motion in the shoulder or chronic back pain – were simply tolerated as inevitable consequences of aging or labor. "In my industry, there’s a lot of acceptance and not a lot of good knowledge about how to put up with things," Wes explains. "People just tolerate it. If your shoulder couldn’t lift any higher, you’d just never lift it any higher."
Inspired by his wife’s exploration of alternative medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, Wes began to challenge this status quo. He realized that rather than simply "throwing away" his body or living with discomfort, he could take responsibility for his well-being. This change in mindset has been transformative, encouraging him to address health concerns as they arise rather than ignoring them.
One of the most significant milestones in Wes’s health journey followed a serious health event: an aneurysm. During his recovery, he committed to an extensive, consistent program using coMra therapy, applying the device twice daily for three months. He reports being very pleased with the results, feeling that he has recovered well and regained a sense of vitality.
Wes has also utilized coMra therapy to manage thyroid-related concerns. By choosing light therapy over pharmaceutical interventions, he has avoided the side effects often associated with such medications, including low energy and depression. "That’s cleared away a fog that I’ve lived with for 45 years," he says. "The energy level is much better, and the depression brought on by chemical imbalances in the body is hugely down. It’s a complete success for me."
For Wes, coMra therapy has become a reliable, non-invasive form of prevention. He finds that the daily practice of using the device is a far better alternative to relying on painkillers or prescriptions. By addressing minor aches and pains immediately, he prevents them from compounding into larger issues.
"The energy of the body has an ability to work out its own problems," Wes observes, highlighting the importance of supporting the body’s natural defense mechanisms. He emphasizes that while aging is a natural process, one does not have to be a passive recipient of its effects. By taking responsibility and utilizing the technology available, he feels he has gained a greater sense of control over his health.
Looking back, Wes reflects on how much of a difference this technology could have made had he discovered it earlier in his career. He encourages others to remain open to the possibilities offered by coMra therapy and the comprehensive guidance found in the coMra user manuals.
"It’s nice to have a strategy," Wes concludes. "I’ve taken quite a bit more responsibility for dealing with things. It still requires that you accept that you can do something about it, and that you are willing to put the effort in." Through this commitment to mindfulness, diet, and the consistent application of coMra therapy, Wes has found a path to aging with strength, clarity, and a renewed sense of well-being.
