How a Calming Conversation Can Improve Your Health

What a conversation! Someone called me this afternoon, my time. 

The caller related her several severe medical issues and that a friend in another country calmed her with the words "You need to get a book written by this Israeli lady, Golani is her name. It motivates you to take the actions you need and even tells you how to take those actions! I know someone who has it. It changed their life."

So, the counseled caller looks up my contact info and asks, "How do I get the book?"

"Easily," I told her. "Go online and order it from the publisher, Booklocker, which sends it faster than any book shop, even faster than the online book outlets."

She breathed a sigh of relief and mentioned that she felt better already.

I'm always impressed at how far word travels, and so grateful that my efforts help people. I have no idea who the people mentioned above may be. It's an exciting feeling to know that I've helped people I might never meet.

My Facebook page recently filled with comments about how often western medical experts and neutral researchers are proving me correct for advising you to go organic, and at minimum to avoid foods and other substances that can seriously damage your health.

Today I'm sharing a sense of

"Told Ya So"

at this blog.

MedPage Today's Cole Petrochko cautions us that You Cannot Eat What Your TV Tells You

If you insist on filling up on this too often (c'mon, I know it's delicious and OK to have once in a while), or breakfasting on this everyday

Then you're facing a lifetime

of this on your dinnerplate,

before and after parties

and all through your vacations

and hospitalizations:

Give yourself time to consider the consequences. When you're ready for sensible, can-do strategies for changing your dining habits and improving other aspects of your health situation, read EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge.

Hmmm, the information below seems to be a big surprise to far too many people. The facts have been in the public domain long enough to become common knowledge. Then again, the Public Domain is overflowing with information. It's hard to sort it all out...

I recommend that you focus on the stuff that's likely to help you and/or your children. Be sure to share the rest with someone who might need it:

Considering the breakdown in medical services and the funds to promote them (let alone for the average person to afford them), it's wise for all of us to prepare a "Plan B" as healthcare backup:

1. Keep emergency supplies of necessary medication and medical supplies nearby.

2. Make a list of all medical recommendations you're supposed to follow (it does get complicated when so much advice adds up over time).

3. Train those around you to help in an emergency (personal and public) and/or insist that they become trained somehow if you're not up to the job.

4. Practice personal calming techniques in your daily life.

Heart Bypass Surgery Does NOT Make You Stupid

16 Iyar 5768

Sorry for the delay in today's post. Some apparently Chinese viruses knocked out my PC. The blog, my PC and I are now back online.

According to the May Annals of Neurology, the good medical news in the world this week is that HEART BYPASS SURGERY DOES NOT CAUSE A DECLINE IN MENTAL SKILLS.

Though many patients seem to complain that their language, cognitive (knowing) and memory skills go downhill after heart bypass procedures, a new study by Johns Hopkins researchers suggests that these problems aren't caused by the surgery itself or by the pump used to replace heart function during surgery.



Here's the linchpin of the study, excerpted from a JHU press release: "... Johns Hopkins researcher Guy McKhann explains that previous studies hadn't compared patients who had bypass surgery to those who had other treatments instead. As such, it's been unknown whether mental decline is a consequence of surgery using the bypass pump, heart troubles, part of the normal aging process, or another cause altogether."

The study involved patients who'd had heart bypass and those who had not. It compared cognitive function of patients who received cardiac bypass surgery with that of patients who received other treatments for coronary artery disease, including pharmaceuticals and stents.

Researchers found that both groups experienced an almost identical decline in cognitive function. The results suggest that THE DISEASE ITSELF, and not any particular treatment, IS THE CAUSE FOR COGNITIVE DECLINE.

McKhann says that the finding "may help the stigma that prevents some doctors from recommending bypass surgery. We don't think fear of mental changes should be a factor in deciding what kinds of treatments you have for your heart."

The October 27 issue of British Medical Journal just released findings about the improving health of Mexico's residents with high blood pressure. The development is due to Mexico's new health insurance program, Seguro Popular. It's supposed to extend health insurance to the nation's 50 million uninsured by 2010.

According to BMJ, adults insured through Seguro Popular are far more likely to receive treatment for hypertension and to have their blood pressure controlled than those without health insurance.

Gosh, understanding the latest medical news the first time you read it can be a great help.
