Dr. Justin has and is currently taking very good care of me. We completed 13 sessions of prolotherapy on my thoracic spine and did the 6th session of prolotherapy on my sternum and front rib area. Prolotherapy has provided me with much greater range of motion and endurance. I am able to do yoga or pilates 6x week. This makes me very happy because I am moving and exercising again. Which I love to do! I understand whole body wellness and by caring for my body as a whole that any symptoms I may have will eventually go away. I will forever continue to consult with ND's and continue to detox daily, eat organic, be on the BHRT program and exercise daily. In addition, I am receiving anti ageing treatments to my skin and West Vancouver Wellness Centre's anti aging skin care specialist and holistic nutritionist, Erin is taking fabulous care of my skin! I am very pleased to have chosen West Vancouver Wellness Centre. Sincerely,

Dear Sir or Madame
I have known Dr. Nigma Talib on a very personal and professional level
for close to five years.
Aside from being a fantastic friend, Dr. Talib has seen my family and I through years of medical and health issues. Especially with my Aunt who suffered various forms of cancer for years. In her final 2 or 3 years, her battle with cancer was substantially improved with the expertise and medical supervision of Dr. Talib. Just the appointments with Dr. Talib made my Aunt smile from ear to ear, regardless of the extensive pain she was in from chemo and other harsh treatments. Dr. Talib was her only source for ‘easing the pain.’
I also battled with Typhiod a few years ago after a trip to Asia. Dr. Talib cut down my recovery time from one year to three months with amazing treatments to help my body reconstruct itself after a devastating and near death experience.
Dr. Talib and I have also worked on various projects to promote her
clinic in West Vancouver. Being a member of the media, Dr. Talib is one
of my best sources to go for stories and special features. I have seen
her become one of the most highly sought after experts in all media in
Canada. Whether she is writing a column herself, being interviewed or
doing a special on a television program, Dr. Talib has an amazing
presence everywhere she goes.
In front of her patients, staff, media, the public and even on stage as
a speaker. She is a natural leader in her industry with an amazing
energy and soft touch that helps cure ailments of all magnitudes every
day. It is truly an amazing experience to know and be able to watch Dr.
Talib in her many roles.
I highly recommend Dr. Talib to all my friends and family on a daily basis and do the same in this nomination.
Please feel free to contact me for further information.
Regards,

Her name means star-and that's what she is.
Dr. Nigma Talib, brightens the lives of thousands. Just ask the patients she treats, the people who listen to her natural healing advice over the radio, and those who attend her many free community health education events. With a radiant personality to match the glow of her physical beauty and intelligence, Dr. Talib has what it takes to be both a healer and a teacher.
Early Lessons
It began when she was a little girl. "Even when I was very young, I wanted to help others; I would always see to the needs of the elders in the mosque. My friends came to me with their problems and I would counsel them. Caring for people came very naturally to me."
Nigma, who is 34 (but looks 22), recalls her East Indian grandmother treating her childhood illnesses with traditional medicines. A bright yellow concoction of turmeric mixed with honey was her grandmother's remedy for coughs. "Even with the honey, you could taste the bitterness of the turmeric," laughs Nigma. "But it worked! And now we know why. Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory that soothes the bronchial tract."
East Meets West
After graduating from Simon Fraser University, Nigma traveled to India. Her life-changing experiences with traditional Indian healers helped set her on her life's path. Combined with her desire to care for others, she realized she was also dedicated to teaching people to care for themselves.
"I considered training to become a medical doctor, but naturopathic medicine held far more appeal for me. The biggest difference is that, as an ND, I am trained to get to the root cause of a problem. I think of myself as a 'biochemical detective.'"
Treatments as Unique as We are
Dr. Nigma, as she prefers to be called, has been practicing her specialized form of healing for five years. Her clinic, the West Vancouver Wellness Centre in West Vancouver, British Columbia, is a bustling practice with two other naturopathic doctors. Using a variety of diagnostic tools and techniques, the clinic has created a personalized approach to individual health care.
"No two people are the same, yet Western medicine treats them as if they are. With a specialized blood test that reads genetic differences, called single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP [pronounced snip] for short, we are able to custom design treatment programs based on the unique genetic makeup of that individual."
Dr. Nigma explains more about this revolutionary approach. "Individual gene variations determine so much about our health, how we develop diseases, and how we will respond to treatment. Empowered with this information, we can better understand the problem. And that means we can better design the solution."
