 Whew, I had a lot of catching up to do after the long series of Jewish New Year holidays came to a close. I ended them with a high fever and a sinus infection. I've recovered, but taking things slowly for a day or two.

Back to you: I've warned my readers of the cancer-causing hygiene products problem below MANY times (here, too. There are other relevant posts at this blog. Scroll around for them.). 

Please use organic, non-synthetic hygiene products. If you want to smell better, use a crystal deodorant, an organic roll-on, or some similarly non-threatening product. 

Use organic soaps and shampoos, organic essential oils, organic diapers and sanitary napkins, etc.

 Your scented products may conceal a dangerous secret

And a potentially deadly one at that

How to Keep Fractured Arms, Feet, Fingers, and Legs Dry When you Bathe/Shower

One of the things that impressed those medical folks yesterday  was that the cast was intact, not moldy or soft from bath/shower water. The usual advice is to wrap it in a disposable plastic shopping bag and to hope for the best when the person bathes. That rarely works 100%, as I know from personal experience, and from looking at lots of medical records and chatting with people who've endured fractures.


So I came up with an almost foolproof system to protect the integrity of the casting material
and the body parts inside it.


Here's how I've protected the cast to keep it dry. See what this technique does for you!


Wrap a thin cotton towel around an area just above the affected body part - or have someone wrap the towel for you. Tuck in the end and make sure the towel is snug. 


THEN encase the area in a plastic bag that you fasten shut by A) Squeezing the ends into "loops" to be tied together shoelace style or  B) Twist the gathered plastic into a tight "rope" and insert it into plastic bag material against your skin. It's the same technique as twisting a towel over wet hair.


You now have absorbent material to soak up accidental "leaks" into the bag. A 2-pronged system for keeping your casted body part(s) dry, it's quite effective.


Okay medical specialists and patients, what do you think of that?

I'm usually hesitant to announce some new innovation in the healthcare world until I know from personal experience that it's sound. But gosh, I'm impressed with something I learned about on a People with Disabilities listserv.


Check out the My Control Bathing System, which is designed for use by people with disabilities. Let me know if you've used it and how well it functions for you.


Oh - I want to let you know why I'm on that listserv. It's related to one of the Global Resources items in the second half of my patient/people empowering book!

URGENT UPDATE: NIH Issues Yet Another Warning on Plastic Products

Lots of suggestions about improving your health fill the pages of

The text is based on my documented medical experience at vastly improving my health, even regaining vision, by ridding my diet and home of synthetic substances. Some DOCTORS are recommending my book and/or using it in their practices.

Here's some scientific support for why the book advocates ridding your homes of plastic kitchenware, among other things:

Plastic Kills Your Bones.

If you find it hard to accept that synthetic shower curtains, in addition to children's toys, personal care items, vinyl flooring and other common items can harm your health, see The Shower Report.

Want to know about stuff that can more safely replace all those familiar things? I recommend a particular book ;^ )

I've received messages asking me for further clarification about eating pork. Some of my book and blog readers want to know why I'm so hyped up about pork (well for starters, I'm Jewish!) and if I want the entire world to go vegetarian (no!).

The issue is hygiene: personal and otherwise.

Dirty animals, as I

mentioned the other day,

seem to be part of the problem.

Check out the paragraph below, part of the larger story at

http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSTRE53N22820090427

The swine flu is not caught from eating pig meat products, but several countries imposed import bans on pork from the United States. Stocks in companies such as airlines were also hit as investors worried about the impact on travel.


OK, readers. There you have it. Neutral analysis of protective safety measures. We'll know more facts as the future unfolds.

BTW, the Hebrew name of

this month is Iyar,

an acronym for

"Ani HaShem Rofecha,"

I, GOD, am your healer.

Interesting time for a worldwide

pandemic scare, hmmm?

Let's be nicer out there.

Praying for an end to the nightmare,
