One of the mental health professionals who endorsed my book on the back cover is award-winning psychiatrist Rabbi Dr. Abraham Twerski. His specialty is helping addicts to beat their addictions.

A freelance journalist, I had reported on the phenomenally high success rate of his work many years ago. My article isn't available online, but you can click on Dr. Twerski's Gateways Program to learn how to enroll in it.

Here's a resource for inmates at Baltimore City Detention Center in Maryland, USA: Acupuncture Helps Addicted Inmates to ease their cravings so they can make more focused efforts at living sensible lives.

I've worked with addicts in a very minor capacity. Professionals, criminals, you name the situation. Addiction is not fussy about choosing whom to hurt.


I appreciate the heroic effort it takes to stop Stinkin' Thinkin' and to stay clean.

Body Size and Your Health

B'SD

11 Av 5768

Big news from today's edition of Archives of Internal Medicine: body size is not necessarily a good indicator of how healthy someone might be. Good living habits help a lot!

Here's what is likely to be confusing news for many of my readers: A new study concluded that overweight and obese adults in the "healthy" category tended to have smaller waists than people with at least two risk factors. But hang on, the news gets cheerier...

What are those risk factors the scientists are concerned about? Elevated blood pressure, cholesterol and other "unspecified" factors.

Those "risk factors" can be tamed, even ended, rather simply. Read on.

Those risk factors were more common for study participants with healthy weight AND with larger waists or potbellies than folks in the other group. Bigger bellies often signal internal fat deposits surrounding abdominal organs. Previous research has shown that to be especially risky.

If you're on the heavier side of the scale but not experiencing high blood pressure or high cholesterol and other "unspecified" risk factors, you're likely to be in better health than your neighbors in different circumstance.

Want to stay Heart Healthy? The study showed that in all weight categories, risk factors for heart problems were generally more common in older people, smokers and inactive people. Among obese people ages 50 to 64, just 20 percent were considered healthy compared with half of younger obese people.

Please. Take the advice I've been offering recently: get outdoors for limited amounts of time, lose some weight (only a pound at a time. Don't make this harder by forcing unrealistic expectations into your diet plan), and move around. Climb stairs instead of using elevators, talk pleasant strolls, do some windowsill gardening if you can't start an outdoors garden, and stop smoking (get professional help if necessary).

Making changes in your health habits takes Commitment, Discipline and Consistency (take that redux of your initials, Centers for Disease Control!). My book can certainly help you with that!

World-famous psychiatrist Dr. A. Twerski tells me that "Addicts and people on chemotherapy need [him] less" after he gives them copies of my book. "They simply do better after reading It's My Crisis! And I'll Cry if I Need To: A Life Book that Helps You to Dry Your Tears and to Cope with a Medical Challenge!" he says.

What’s the Problem You Need to Solve?

Yesterday’s post struck a chord with people all over the world. Health Writer and blogger Star Lawrence in Arizona, USA loved it. Now she’s referring her readers to my part of the blogosphere.

A few men stopped me on the street to remark that their wives were amused by that pasta fork back-scratcher idea. We agreed that none of us knew where to buy back-scratchers, so this was an affordable, easy solution.

What sort of medical problem do you need to solve? Let me know so I can check out my human resources department (medical professionals I’ve known on collegial terms for several years). I just might let you know what I learn about your coping with a medical crisis concern in future posts.

Look Who's Using My Book (with permission) Before it's Published!

July 10, 24 Tamuz 5767

Yesterday I posted a reference to some exciting developments about my book that I'd share in the foreseeable future. This item below is just too precious to hold back from you. It is a message I received this week from a prominent psychiatrist (to a colleague). He is also a prolific author:

Yocheved gave me her manuscript on "It's My Crisis." I have given it (with her permission) to several cancer patients on chemotherapy and they found it very helpful. I think it would be a great mitzvah to make this available to all who may need it.
Abraham J. Twerski, MD

Here's bit of vocabulary help for international readers of my blog and my soon-to-be-released book: a mitzvah is a good deed, the fulfillment of one of GOD's many commandments (there are more than the widely known 10).

Several months ago, I received this note from one of Dr. Twerski's colleagues:

“Friends of ours have a young child recently diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy (currently a terminal diagnosis). I assisted them with [It's MY Crisis! And I'll Cry if I Need To]... It enabled them to face their challenge with strength.” Psychotherapist Jonathan Dove, UK

Okay healers in the medical and mental health worlds, you read the news here first. "It's MY Crisis! And I'll Cry if I Need To: A Life book that Helps You to Dry Your Tears and to Cope with a Medical Challenge" can help your patients and clients.

The release date of "It's MY Crisis!" is fast approaching. You'll be able to buy it here and through my publisher first. Keep coming back to this blog as your number one source of a tool to help your life or someone else's ;^)
