How to Restore Your Sense of Joy for Inner and Outer Health - Despite a Disability!

One of the limitations of an illness or disability is on leisure travel. Thrilling views and experiences seem out of reach. 

I believe in finding solutions to  problems and came up with today's idea for a blogpost. I hope you'll enjoy this praise of deep sea diver's Jacques Cousteau's Calypso boat and adventures, courtesy of John Denver.

I received a forwarded E-mail the other day:

... My stepdaughter is in college 
abroad. Before she left, 
we signed her up for their
recommended medical

insurance plan. 


The problem she's having 
is that most of the medications 
that her doctor prescribed for 
her are not covered under that 
plan. Also, she needs to find 
a dermatologist but the 
insurance plan does not 
cover dermatologists.

Does anyone know of any 
 doctors/dermatologists 

who take American medical 
insurance? And/or are there 

any pharmacies that accept 
American medical 
insurance?


I've heard of dentists 
and doctors who work both 

abroad and in the states 
and have been willing to bill 
from  the states for some 
patients.

Thank you for any information.

I alerted the messenger to "See pages 87, 93, 96, 109, 112, 113, 126, 132," among others, in the Global Resources section of

An Effective Solution for Lice (Heads up, Parents!)

B'SD

28 Tevet 5772

WOW I'm hearing from globe-trotting acquaintances with itchy heads. Apparently it's quite easy to catch lice as you lean against your airline seat! Some people did just that over the holiday season and afterwards. The problem isn't limited to school children.

My advice? Trash old hairbrushes and combs. Ridding them of the lice infestation is hard to do.

Get new ones.

Trim your hair as much as tolerable 

to remove hiding places for sneaky lice.

Here's a homeopathic cure that can work for all ages (no guarantees, just my best suggestion): Gilco-Pharm (an Israeli company) makes a 2-part RID-Lice kit with a shampoo & spray. Use as directed (you'll need a lice comb and some disposable shower caps as the spray remains on hair for 8 hours - sleeptime). Follow that treatment with a daily shampoo using Mellaluca's original shampoo every day for a week.

Remember to isolate infected clothing and bedding. Bag them in plastic and tie a tight knot. Keep these items bagged for two weeks. The lice will die for lack of nourishment from human bodies. Launder, and reuse after the time is up. I highly recommend vacuuming bedding, including pillows, on  a daily basis. If you can, buy a new pillows or cover the infected ones in sealed plastic bags covered with fresh, clean pillow cases. It's possible to sleep on the slightly noisy pillows creaking from plastic bags. Release the pillows from the plastic bags after two weeks, vacuum out the dead lice and reuse.

With Passover approaching and hail hitting many windows across the globe, I'm looking out for the frogs, grasshoppers and wild beasts. You just never know what's going to happen with the weird weather patterns heading around the world. The only cure and preventative for them, as far as I know, is perfectly decent behavior  ;^ D

Good luck getting rid of your itchy scalps, world travelers, school kids and everyone else.

UPDATE: Feb. 9 2012 - Skip the Sklice, a new anti-lice product on the market. Stick with the user-friendlier strategy described above. It's far less likely to cause adverse reactions.

Traveling with a disability as part of your baggage is a challenge. Daily life's already tough. Traveling can complicate matters.


The good news is that there's a nifty resource for disabled travelers in

Read all about it on page 98,  in the middle of the Global Resources section (it's filled with info on organizations that will pay your medical care, medication, medical appliance and medical travel costs, and more!).


MORE good news! I just learned of the Accessible World initiative for matching needs to the facilities in a given location. The starting point is to submit an Access Profile, which is a personal definition of your needs.

Travel Warning: H1N1 Spreading "Too Fast"

18 Iyar 5769

Back on May 4 I warned you about H1N1's spread and contradictory advice appearing in mainstream media. I also gave you a map for watching H1N1's globetrotting spread.

On May 8 I sent this E-mail to some acquaintances. I've held back from sharing it with you, but now I sense a need to go public with the frightening message:

Look at these headlines, at the same website:

Flu overhyped? Some say officials 'cried swine'

WHO: Up to 2 billion people might get swine flu

Here's another paradox... :

http://www.who.int/en/
Influenza A(H1N1) - update 186 May 2009 --

As of 16:00 GMT, 6 May 2009,

23 countries have officially

reported 1893 cases of

influenza A (H1N1) infection.

No rationale for travel restrictions
1 May 2009 --

WHO is not recommending travel restrictions related to the outbreak

of the Influenza A(H1N1) virus.

Now, if an innocent child knew that a
specific illness is spreading throughout

the world because travelers from

Ground Zero (Mexico, in this case) carry and spread it wherever they go,

then that child would decide (rationalize) to stop leaving home.

But WHO, the international health organization, can't put those 2 dots together.

OY.

Yocheved

Readers, I beg you: reconsider your travel plans if you're making any. Why? Because of this disturbing headline:

Swine Flu Spreading too Fast to Count, CDC Says...

If long-respected medical institutions don't issue effective - or worse, issue inconsistent - safety precautions, YOU and your loved ones could become unwitting victims of bad advice.

THAT could be a deadly mistake.

Be conservative. Stay home. Travel AFTER the contagion problem is over.

Proof that long-distance travel is endangering human health is in alarmingly evident supply. But sensible and mutual conclusions by venerated medical institutions are not.
