One Way to End the EpiPen Crisis!

B'SD

I'm appalled to realize that the price of the life-saving EpiPen rose at the start of the school year. This is the time when parents, students and school medical offices stock up on necessary supplies.

I want to share a potential solution with you. I just posted it to Facebook, too: The Affordable EpiPen Alternative.


I'm suspicious of the timing at the school year's start, when children must have these lifesaving items on hand.


Two senior lawmakers on the U.S. Senate's Judiciary Committee on Monday pushed for information regarding sharp price increases for EpiPens, drug-filled injectable devices used by people to counter potentially deadly allergic reactions.

Here's What Good Food Can DO for YOU!

Gosh, the Jewish year is winding up and we'll soon be in the thought-provoking month of Elul. That's when Jews spend more time than usual contemplating how to improve their characters, and doing so. Then comes Tishre, the month of the Jewish "High Holidays" of Rosh HaShana (New Year's/Time of Judgment) and Yom Kipur (the Day of Atonement for past errors).
