Tax Reduction Tip: No Tax on RRSP Withdraw

Tax Reduction Strategy (from NAO osteopathy business lectures on Friday)

Did you know, depending on how much you withdraw every year from your registered retirement saving plan (RRSP) after you retire at age 65, you may pay up to 53% in personal income tax to the government?

There is an alternative. By using a holding company, and a type of equity system set up through an insurance company you can set up a retirement saving plan that does not pay any tax at all!

This business lecture is now uploaded to our online video server for our registered students to watch.

One reason why our graduates are instant success is that we teach them everything we know about how to manage and market their business effectively.

The Lost Techniques of Manual Osteopathy

Did you know we, National Academy of Osteopathy is the only osteopathy school in Canada teaching the manual mechanotherapy techniques of H. R. Spitler, MD, DC, DO, PhD?

Dr Spitler was a medical doctor, chiropractor, osteopath and optometrist in Ohio, USA who invented a model of osteopathy techniques about a hundred years ago that dealt with soft tissue as well as osseous manual therapy.

As his techniques focused mainly on orthopedic conditions of musculoskeletal system, he fell out of favor with the osteopathy leadership of the time and his techniques were not taught in most osteopathic schools.

Manual mechanotherapy is now mainly practiced in Ohio by a group of practitioners calling themselves mechanotherpists. The techniques are considered the lost techniques of osteopathy.
Dr. Daniel Nuzum, NMD, DO (from Ohio, USA) has done a number of lectures on this technique which is now available for our students to watch at our video server.

To celebrate opening the first and only manual osteopathy university in the United States, in the month of May 2016 we are giving free access to all our updated and new videos to all NAO graduates once they complete an assignment. Contact Rachel or Luary if you wish to receive information on how to get your free user ID and password to our video server.
