Deadly Medicine?

B'SD

22 Shvat 5771





Readers, I do not scare easily. I've worked as a Health Information Management professional and read many heartbreaking medical records. I've learned about the baffling, complicated world of medical research and medical practice. They're loaded with frightening pros and cons, rife with rollercoasting emotions on both sides of the bedrail.

I've lived the fear as a survivor of severe medical setbacks.

But my background did not prepare me for the forthright facts presented in Vanity Fair magazine's article,
DEADLY MEDICINE.

Click the link above and read the article from beginning to end. It's a sad commentary on harsh realities. A wake-up call to all of us.

Ready to take better control of your medical life with a minimum of chemicals? Whew!

It's difficult to restore ideal blood pressures after such experiences, let alone quality of life.

Lights OUT to Prevent Breast Cancer!

B'SD

14 Shvat 5771



My coaching practice advocates the same thing that I do with my private life: going to sleep shortly after dark.

Skeptics have criticized (or mocked) my habit of hugging my pillow soon after the sun goes down. I remained firm in my decision over the years because the world of natural healing techniques/vegetarianism has long taught that remaining active during naturally dark hours is a health hazard.

I'm pleased to see that the mainstream world finally admits the reality to the rest of the world: Light at Night Can Lead to Cancer!
The news is spreading around the world via websites, television and radio news shows.

How to Protect Your Welfare: DEMAND Accountability in the Mental Health World!

B'SD

5 Shvat 5771


Readers, I've wondered if valid security measures were in place before Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords' community-oriented event began. It is odd that local and federal law enforcement officials, and Homeland Security in particular, missed the glaring clues of Jared Loughner's lack of mental health, his contempt for a peaceful American society, and his repeatedly stated threats to public welfare.


Hearts are broken,
lives were lost.
Others hang in the balance.
THAT situation need not
be repeated!

YOU are in a position to demand accountability from your legislators. Arm yourselves with some appropriate reading here:

Dr. Keith: Tragedy of Mental Illness
By Dr. Keith Ablow

Published January 09, 2011
FoxNews.com

The story of Jared Loughner’s murderous rampage, which took the lives of six innocent victims and critically wounded Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, will ultimately prove to be a story about how severe mental illness—including that linked to violence—routinely goes untreated.

By all accounts...

Get the full story at
http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/01/09/dr-keith-tragedy-mental-illness/

My prayers, and those of fellow Jews, go to the bereaved and suffering survivors. May all of you heal emotionally and physically.







If you want to reach for mental health professionals you can trust, buy iPhone-friendly E-book
EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge
. Read the advice about how to spot ethical practitioners and people to avoid. Find resources for contacting mental health professionals in your part of the world in the back of the book.

Bouncing Back from Brain Injury


B'SD

4 Shvat 5771


My heart goes out to
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and all the 19 defenseless people shot at an intentionally pleasant community event in Arizona, USA yesterday. Any sane, compassionate person is reeling from the horror of the event.

There are ways to recover a measure of calm after emotional and physical shocks.

There are ways to recover from, and to cope with, brain injuries and other medical problems.

But not everyone knows how.


If you're reaching out for answers
and other forms of help,
read an E-book that
mental health &
medical professionals
recommend:




GOD willing, you'll find outlets that you need in the text and Global Resources sections.


One of the overriding lessons of EMPOWER Yourself
is the potential to cope with
and to heal from
grim prognoses.
Look who wrote the book, after all.
