What to Do When YOU Can't Afford a Doctor

B'SD

12 Nisan, 5778

Last year, 44% of the Americans who felt sick enough to see a doctor didn't. The cost was too high, according to this poll.

So much for obamacare, an allegedly Affordable Care Act. I have long referred to it as ObaNOcare.

I don't know what Americans can do to afford a general practitioner every time they want to consult one. But I sure do know that you - no matter where you live or which insurance plan you have - might profit from reading the Global Resources section of


http://www.booklocker.com/p/books/3067.html?s=TrackingCode


That part of the book lists the contact information for worldwide, cutting-edge practitioners, charitable organizations and other resources willing and ready to reduce your costs for specific medical bills. 

There is information about to get in on clinical trials.

There is information about no-cost-to-you medical flights.

There is information about how to acquire first-quality medication, medical appliances, medical care, and more, paid for partially or completely by someone else.

Readers around the world have reached out to thank me for the information and to let me know how it helped them!

FUNdraiser! You can Share the Joy!

B'SD

10 Nisan, 5778

Passover aka Pesakh/Pesach begins Friday night. Jews worldwide are praying for our eternal freedom from hatred, violence, spiritual derailment, and other nasty problems so that we can pursue our spiritual destiny without distraction.

Meanwhile, I want to focus on something else, too. Last week I indicated that I'd helped to prepare a fund raising effort. That  happened after I'd advised the woman involved of the healing efforts that she needed to make.

Here's the link to the page, presented by the patient's husband: Restoring Talent Buried by Pain



Here's a look at the healing in progress. You can help it along with a donation to the cause.


Sitting in the beautiful sun for the first time in many months, having walked to this park on my own two feet with very minimal pain, basking in gratitude to Hashem for bringing me to this moment in life, where I feel that I Will Be Able to HEAL. My retreat in Jerusalem at the house of a talented doctor, a Chinese medicine practitioner, is the right thing at the right time. I think I'll heal. I'm beginning to believe it. It's happening.

Please don't ask me to feature YOUR fundraising effort. I have been very involved in this one as a friend of the woman involved. I can vouch for the accuracy of her predicament.



It's been fun to witness Sarah's improving health. May she be blessed for a full, pleasant recovery.

As Passover aka Pesakh the holiday of spiritual and physical freedom approaches, I felt especially delighted to find this liberating news item. Read How to Avoid Hiring a Bully in Your Hospital

Add it to the advice about how to deal with mean-spirited or otherwise harmful medical personnel in



Tame the in-laws, the outlaws, other rude acquaintances and anyone else behaving in a counterproductive way in your medical life, too, with the information you'll learn between the covers of the book.

Behavioral interviewing matters. So do the tips you'll find in the book. It clues you in as to how to handle Do Not Resuscitate disagreements, respect issues, privacy matters and more.

Demi-plié, Relevé and a Life-Lesson to Share

B'SD

4 Nisan, 5778

It's the Jewish month of Nisan, a time for fresh beginnings and freedom from negativity.

While I was wearing myself out advocating for other people these past few weeks, I was recovering from a freak accident. I'd slipped off a stage weeks ago, due to being unaware that water was on the floor. My foot and ankle broke as I crashed into furniture and the floor below me.

My cast was removed two weeks ago. My walking boot came off this past Sunday. Ready for the shocker?

This morning my physical therapist and I were surprised as I demonstrated being weeks ahead of the planned physical therapy regimen. The Rofe Holim (GOD the Healer) made my foot very flexible and strong, and at my age! Among other things, I can actually do two warm-up exercises for ballet dancers!

I'm able to do all the flexibility and weight-bearing exercises assigned to me this morning. The instructions are to do them repeatedly throughout the day. I'm to continue walking up/down the 3 flights of stairs in my building as necessary - while wearing my backpack. The staircase that hurts my foot like H-E-double hockey-stix is actually good for my recovery.

All written medical reports indicate that I have no limitations as to walking or weight-bearing. I still lack the ability to run, but that will come with time.

I wrote a letter of praise for the therapist and gave it to his supervisor. Folks, this is astonishing stuff. The foot is weeks ahead of normal recovery. WEEKS!

​And yes, the physical therapist asked me what I'm doing to heal so fast. I responded "Organic food, MSM powder mixed with water to prevent scar tissue (THAT clearly worked!), and a strong desire to heal - with GOD's blessings."​

Too bad that the Israeli medical system doesn't employ motivational coaches. I bet that I could help some people willing to cooperate with my input. I feel like dancing!

All the best,

Yocheved Golani, Content provider and editor

I'm convinced that my body heals in wonderful ways due to being fed an organic diet. The commercially processed poisons in the bodies of other people simply complicate recovery from anything, let alone illness.

My attitude is another factor. I envision improvements and let them happen.

A Life Lesson for All of Us

B'SD

29 Adar, 5778

Adar is a generally joyous month, but this year it has been challenging to feel light hearted. I have been focused on helping several people in dire medical or mental health straits for weeks. My time, energies and thoughts have been focused on their needs.

An unusual and related event happened this week: A complementary medicine professional reached out to me, due to my respect for the person's work and our mutual acquaintance with a patient (networking matters). We agree on the specific life-saving care that she needs.

This is not a small matter, as you will eventually learn.

With the patient's permission, I have prepared the text for a fund-raising campaign to enable the patient to benefit from a period of 'round-the-clock treatment and observation in this professional's care. The therapy is not simple nor cheap. But it can dramatically improve the patient's quality of life, and it's continuation.

The recommended therapy is not readily available. It must be carefully prepared by someone who knows exactly what they're doing, and with full comprehension of, and compassion for, the patient's needs.

Stand by for the pending announcement when I notify you of the launch for that fund-raising campaign. It will be quite a departure from the usual fare at this blog. 

I have never advocated for a specific person or practitioner before. I plan to do so in the foreseeable future. I'm convinced of the life-preserving necessity to do so. 

A life lesson for all of us is in the making.

An FYI about One-Size-Fits-All Solutions

B'SD

28 Adar, 5778

Gosh, it's been 16 days since I shared thoughts with you!

I've  been busy helping some people to face serious medical issues, and seeking solutions with them.

As I spoke with one of those stricken individuals, I listened carefully to her remarks about having been demeaned by someone who'd accused her of failing to cure herself with a method that had worked for someone else with the same malady.

I responded "The world does not hold One-Size-Fits-All solutions. That criticism was not warranted."

I share that thought with you because you and the medical and/or mental health professionals in your life are being faced with that reality. 

Each person has their own chemistry, their own mindsets, their own individual sets of experiences. That's why individualized aka personalized medical solutions such as CRISPR technology are gaining popularity.
