US TV personality Art Linkletter's terrific technique for overcoming setbacks and tragedies in life is this idea: “Things turn out best for the people who make the best out of the way things turn out.”

You can do that with YOUR medical situation. Read iPhone-friendly E-book It's MY Crisis! And I'll Cry If I Need To: EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge. It tells you how.

Need more proof than

yesterday's book review

by a happy reader?

Read on.

"I received EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge one week after I suffered my own medical crisis and found it very helpful. [It] will be of great benefit both in dealing with the fragile emotional health of sick patients and the stressful situation of the patient's caregiver… [with] very practical comprehensive information for dealing with a health-related crisis that is so seldom available to someone who is ill and preoccupied with their own troubles. Ill people are often compromised and often don't know where to look for guidance. Putting so much useful information at their fingertips will help them navigate the difficulties of a confusing medical system. Combined with [the author's] encouragement to never give up hope, the book will be of great aid to anyone with a sudden serious medical emergency." - Daniel Eisenberg, MD, Department of Radiology at the Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, PA; Assistant Professor of Diagnostic Imaging at Thomas Jefferson University School of Medicine; Medical Ethicist

EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge just as the good doctor did;^ )

Survival in 10 Easy Steps

Whew, the early 21st Century has been through a dramatic time in history for the world at large: Economic collapse, Swine Flu/H1N1 sweeping the globe (after frightening AIDS, Bird Flu, SARS and other diseases have devastated humanity), political shocks, piracy on the high seas, nuclear missile tests, never-ending slaughters of defenseless populations, and two lingering, frightening questions:

"WHAT'S NEXT?" and "What am I supposed to DO?"

This blog usually focuses on physical and mental health issues (as in coping with medical adversity and the severe stress it can cause). But my Self-Help Coaching services expose me to more diverse issues (e.g., spiritual, social, employment, financial, self-esteem, identity crises, moral and ethical matters).

It all comes down to one core issue:

HOW can I/you/we Survive the Situations we're in???

My circle of acquaintances includes some very influential, upbeat people. One of those acquaintances, Rabbi Pinchas Winston, is a highly educated and very amiable educator/writer. He and I have explored the possibilities of how to help people facing increasingly complicated and baffling problems affecting folks around the globe.

Put all that together and you'll understand why I'm pleased to share this announcement from Rabbi Winston's Thirtysix.org organization:

Incremental Improvements: Adding Up One Victory at a Time.

14 Tamuz 5768

I recently shared some insights with a woman whose husband is recovering from major surgery. She'd been upset at his non-stop television watching and bored behavior. My remarks are true for this couple and for anyone trying to cope with a medical challenge or crisis. I hope you'll benefit from them:

" ...it's not simply your husband's thoughts that are adjusting to his post-operative reality, it's his body's readjustment period, too.

"He's been zapped of a lot of physical strength and he's facing the emotional shock of it all. Remember: men don't identify well with being helpless, ill, or dependent (women are mentally prepared for it cuz that's how we recover from giving birth). Meanwhile, his muscles and nerves are learning to work together again after being heavily drugged. The surgery itself was a trauma to his body, let alone the tumor's influence on his body functions. What a mix to master!

"What you need to do is to think of incremental improvements over time. It goes something like this: one day he walks to the end of the lawn. A few days later he reaches the end of the block. One week he endures walks to the end of the block 2 or 3 times that same week. A month later he's increasing his speed, sense of balance and his smile. He gets the mail and the paper, maybe runs errands to a corner grocery. He might gradually increase the time spent reading a newspaper or book. Eventually he starts doing the things he always did, at a pace that accommodates his present strengths. Play his favorite music. Maybe he'll dance with you or sing to favorite tunes, stuff like that.


"Be sure to have nutritious food on hand for snacks and meals: fresh fruits and veggies, lots of fresh (not sugared) juices, water, some of his favorite meals to perk up his appetite and sense of joy. Help him to build himself back up from the inside out.

"PRAISE HIM for every improvement he makes. One day at a time, each improvement as it develops. Keep reassessing your husband's progress over the long term, not moment-by-moment. Keep a progress journal if that appeals to you. It can fill gaps in your memory as you cope with competing details. That can be sooooo reassuring."

To summarize the above, here's what you need to focus on in someone recovering from serious medical treatment:

Incremental Improvements: Adding Up One Victory at a Time.

Okay, readers, there you have it. Medical setbacks cause us to behave less lively than we once were.

We go into the future one accomplishment at a time, celebrating individual victories. Those celebrations offset/cancel out the unhappiness from previous setbacks. And the victories add up over time into MANY victories.

My book includes humorous stories and jokes from famous people throughout time.

They overcame personal tragedies and pain, too.

Go Blue! Or, How to Live Longer, Healthier Lives with Power 9.

19 Adar Bet 5768

Hmmm, I wrote a book describing how I survived the emotional and physical shock of a BENIGN brain tumor that had been killing me (let alone the after-effects of the dangerous surgery). Then I began speaking to interested groups and individuals about how I did it. But the least convinced listeners to my tale of victory are some of the very people who saved my life: Doctors!

I've long wondered how to augment my assertiveness in describing my life-preserving techniques to medical skeptics. Now I've found one potential resource for success: bluezones.com. This doctor-created site describes well-researched geographical areas of longevity around the globe and how the long-lived people there earned

BIG

Birthdays.

Every bit of advice - succinctly explained in 9 Powerful Longevity Boosters - at bluezones.com is in It's MY Crisis! And I’ll Cry if I Need To.

Better yet, It's MY Crisis! And I’ll Cry if I Need To holds even MORE life-sustaining information than you'll find at Blue Zones. It's MY Crisis! also holds how-to information, humorous takes on the difficulties of life PLUS a global "Resource" section for locating the things you need to cope with medical crises.

To name just a few of those necessary items in my book's Resource section:

• Dietary Suggestions proven to Help and/or to HEAL



• Low-cost or free medication,


• Contact information for leading health-care practitioners and medical practices, and mental health professionals (including SUCCESSFUL complimentary medicine professionals)


• How to get in on clinical trials and free medical care,


• Low-cost or free medical appliances (e.g. hearing aids, canes, crutches, walkers, medical machines, Seeing Eye Dogs),



• Help with Problematic Pregnancies (and with fertility issues)


• Suggested Reading and Listening Materials
  
• And so much more.

And consider this: Unlike websites that market more than you bargained for, my book does not hold advertisements! You get unbiased information that I collected from reliable resources worldwide. No annoying pop-up ads, no irritating jingles in your ears. Just pleasant reading endorsed by medical and mental health professionals, clergy of different faiths and even an NIH researcher. All this in one convenient package: an affordable workbook to be shared with friends, family and caregivers if you wish.

When you want even more cheerful support, you can contact me for Self-Help Coaching services at giveretgolani@gmail.com.

OK, back to the skeptics to whom I'm offering an educational dialogue: I look forward to fielding questions from medical professionals around the world. The healing arts are not based simply upon science. The human heart, mind and soul are an intricate part of the medical mix. And uh, not everything can be explained to us mortals solely by statistics, experimentation and empirical knowledge, can it, doctors?

Find out something you never knew about "unusual" cases of spontaneous and other inexplicable recoveries and the people who've experienced them. I have loads of other information to share with you in addition to the Blue Zone site. I'm one click away at giveretgolani@gmail.com.

Still need convincing, Doctor? Okay. Ask me how it could be that a board-certified Orthopedist declared IN PRINT on OFFICIAL MEDICAL RECORDS - only today - that I HAVE OFFICIALLY AND UNQUESTIONABLY RECOVERED FROM DEVASTATING RSD/CRPS in less than three months! Not everyone recovers from that diagnosis. And if they do recover, it's just not in such a short amount of time.

You're a medical professional. You want to improve the Quality of Life for your RSD/CRPS or other patients. Ask yourself "How is this possible that Miss Golani recovered so quickly?" If you need the answer, you know what to do ;^ )
