Here's What to do When Obamacare Fails You

B'SD


10 Av, 5772

This blog shared several warnings about Obamacare's proposed human nightmare. Apparently too many US voters did not understand the issues. It comes down to this:

...Coverage will not
necessarily translate into care...

Click the link to read that article if you skipped it.

The Association of American Medical Colleges and the 

California Medical Association weighed in on the issues. 

They include Medicaid being of little, perhaps zero, help. 

America, you have 
a medical emergency 
on your hands.

The lack of sufficient medical care problem is not limited to California. It's country-wide. 

Want to improve your chances of recovery? Care to enhance your coping skills?

Here's What to do 

When Obamacare Fails You:

 Lower your stress and cut your medical costs when you learn how to access organizations all around the world willing to pay part or all of your specific medical bills. Those organizations are willing to supply your medical needs with 1st-quality medication, medical care and other medical necessities. All you have do to is to ask for them.

Less stress and you keep your cash. Beats Obamacare.

How to Judge a Book Without Its Cover

16 Sivan 5772


While I was taking time off to refresh and to relax, I received some interesting messages on my monitor and phone. I returned home to these E-mail and phone messages:

From GNK: "Hi Yocheved I just want to let you know that I really enjoyed the book. It's MY Crisis! And I'll Cry If I Need To: EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge  is very informative and insightful. I like how you drew sources from many different avenues. May you continue to feel good and help others! When I have more time I want to look into some of the resources in the back."

From JS: "You can help so many people with your story and advice."

RS called me from a different part of the world to say: "I have the same diagnosis you had. I appreciate the ideas in your writings. Thanks so much! Now I know which surgeon I need."

"When the character of a person is not clear to you, 

look at his friends."

Mood Boosting Strategies that Work!

A reporter looking for "Mood boosting Strategies" to round out her article on the topic just received this mesage from me:


"... medical and mental health professionals recommend the mood-boosting messages in It's MY Crisis! And I'll Cry If I Need To: EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge. World renown psychiatrist Dr. A. Twerski gives copies to people on chemo and overcoming addictions. He tells me they call him less as the book is so helpful to them. Methodist minister Carl Phillips found the spiritual content 'Right on!'  Rabbis approve of it too. Readers around the world are buying the book and feeling happier for it."

Do Alternative and Complementary Healing Things Work or Not?

B'SD


28 Shvat 5772


Here's a heads-up on the topic for a forthcoming Refua Radio Show, where you can hear me speak about health matters. In a few weeks I'll be making pre-recorded remarks about the alternative healing world, the one with words such as "complementary," "alternative" and "natural." Here's an outtake:

"Some people are angry or sad that they or someone they love has not recovered from or survived a medical situation. They tend to express that unhappiness by scoffing at natural healing claims and techniques. That emotional response to heartache is not an intellectual, fact-based assessment of facts. But over time, some skeptics are becoming believers. Many of them are in the medical world, and what an F-Y-I that is!

"The fascinating TedTalks have featured oncologist Dr. William Li, who cures people of cancer with food instead of using harsh chemicals! His presentation is called “Can we eat to starve cancer?” and the answer, to his former BIG surprise, is a resounding “YES.” Dr. Teri Wahls ended her misery and Multiple Sclerosis with food. She explains how at Minding Your Mitochondria.

"GOD is in the details. So is the natural healing pharmacy spread out across our planet. That natural pharmacy is in plants, animals, simple foods, pure water, air, sunshine and even rain. The trick is to be aware of how to benefit from those items and to avoid health-endangering behavior. Naturopaths study all that. Reputable naturopaths save or improve lives with their knowledge and applied healing skills.

"Still skeptical even though those MDs, PhDs and their naturally healing patients are gaining more health by the day? Do you suppose that a woman, blinded by a benign brain tumor crushing every nerve between her head and body, could hope to regain her vision with crushed optic nerves? Guess again. I did."

Here's How to Tame that Too Much To-Do List

B'SD


24 Tevet 5772


The key to finishing multiple tasks, or even one task, is to start working on them!


Illness, disabilities, and all the tedious tasks of managing with them can leave you feeling sleepy, foul tempered and/or defeated. Insurance regulations and blizzards of associated paperwork are monsters. Appointment schedules can drive you nutz as you try to schedule conflicting dates. Scheduling hard-to-get rides causes BIG headaches. So do other "little" details such as remembering how to combine medications or even when to take them, to prevent new health problems. And what about your inefficient personal funding for those medical costs looming all around you? 

YOU JUST WANT TO SCREAM, right?

You need to Tame that Too Much To-Do List.

And yourself.

Now, imagine yourself  dashing across a red ribbon finish line. Your mind and heart swell with pleasure and relief at the successful moment.

Ready to cross the starting line?

that aren't getting done.

How to Clean House - Despite Disabilities - with Simple Solutions!

B'SD

23 Nisan 5771

Do you know someone facing disabilities and wondering how to cope with them? My book and blog advocate effective, simple solutions to vexing problems. Here are a bunch of cost-cutting ideas for the cost of a few spray bottles you can buy at dollar stores:



Lose stubborn stains that haven't come out in the wash! Spray the dry garment with a 50-50 mix of liquid laundry detergent and water, and then let it sit overnight before laundering the item.

Need to get rid of weeds between the cracks of your patio or sidewalk bricks/stones? Spray a 50-50 solution of bleach and water, or dish soap and water, at them daily until the weeds and immediately surrounding area are soaked. The roots will give up within a few days.

Stiff & sore and frustrated by a moldy bathroom you can't easily clean? Prevent mildew by toweling walls after a shower or bath. Remove mildew with a 50-50 solution of white vinegar and water mixed in a cheap spray bottle. Spray it at yucky spots, and then wipe away the mess with paper towels (fabric towels if you care to launder them). Support the paper or fabric towels with straight-edged mop handles (sponja sticks in the Middle East) if your arms can't reach all around.

Scared to use toxic chemicals as you clean drains around your home? Pour some dry baking/bicarbonate of soda (the same stuff used for baking) down the hole, then add enough white vinegar (it won’t take much!) to work up a froth. After things have settled down, rinse the pipes with hot water boiled in a kettle you can easily maneuver.

Keep those spray bottles clearly labeled, out of harm's way and filled with the above mixtures so you can reach for a problem solver when you wish.

Ready to snack on some nuts to power you up all over again?

What? Your jaws get sore from chewing nuts?

Here's an easy way to prevent the pain as you "chop" them even if your hands can't do the job: Place the nuts in a paper bag repeatedly folded closed, or in a Ziploc baggie. Step on the tightly closed package with your heaviest shoes until the nuts are reduced to bits. Scoop them out with a clean spoon and swallow the nourishment after some light chewing.

Spring cleaning time! Clean the "I can't cope with illness" cobwebs from your muddled mind and SAVE MAJOR MONEY with the cost-cutting information inside the Global Resources section at the back!

The Global Day of Jewish Learning and Your Medical Expenses

B'SD

30 Cheshvan 5771

[This essay was prepared in advance of it's appearance today. I ask for your prayers as I face some unusual difficulties. YG].

I'm using November 7th's Global Day of Jewish Learning to share a few ideas with you about health. Financial health, as it relates to your medical life.

Medical problems are scary. The costs they incur add to the fear. A person begins to feel caught in a whirlpool sucking them down into ever-growing DEBT. You wonder if poverty will cause you to suffer worse, maybe to die.

One of the mottos at this blog, "Face Your Medical Problems with Dignity. Face Your Future with Optimism," addresses the nightmare. You need to feel secure that your thinking and planning skills are alright and that your funds are not disappearing in an out-of-control way on you.


Here's a Jewish way of looking at debt that applies to everyone: personal income is decided by GOD at Rosh HaShana (Jewish New Year) day. We then receive what has been predestined for us. Complications may arise in our financial picture, but they're part of that Heavenly accounting system, too.

Shlomo HaMelekh/King Solomon taught in Proverbs 28 that "A person who trusts in The One Above will be full of blessings..." There's more to that quote, but it's a tad off-topic. Let's focus on the trusting GOD part. Tough at times, I know. But a person can develop that trust in baby steps, little by little.

Practice praying in your heart, or even out loud (I do), and tell The Compassionate Creator that you're scared, what you need (specify the solution) and that you appreciate everything that GOD sent your way until now. Ask for clear-headed thinking skills so you can plan sensibly, for help in building your trust in the Creator, and for relief. Simply pour out your heart. Say everything on your mind, in your gut, and weighing on your heart.

I have felt the raw fear and heart-throbbing panic about growing medical debts and grim bottom lines. I'm not lecturing at you, I'm sharing hard-earned insights, coping strategies that eased my blood pressure several notches and helped me to recognize solutions appearing before me. All that was left for me to do was to make some choices. And to realize that G'D was right there with me. You're in the same position.

Rashi, a famous commentator on Jewish issues and Toraitic texts in Medieval times, taught that we need not fear losing our incomes to this or that problem. Why not? Because nothing messes up the Heavenly accounting system. Everyone in the world receives the funds, and spends the funds, allotted in the D'vine accounting system. The accounts are above nature. As events unfold before us, we simply witness the financial playout of what was decreed months ago.

Go ahead. Grumble, sing, weep, talk out loud with GOD. He's a captive audience so to speak. Always available to listen to us cry out and speak up about the issues that concern us.

And remember one more thing: it is a BIG merit in your favor when you pray for the relief of other people and/or take action to help them in some manner. Go ahead. Make someone's day. Speak kind words or take gracious action, maybe even provide some financial insight or assistance.

Do what you can. May Heaven help you as pleasantly as possible,
