What Does Your Prescription DO for You?

B'SD

8 Av, 5773

Empowering patients is what my efforts are all about. One important issue is to understand what the drugs you take do for - possibly against - you. You need to know which things can't be taken together, what to expect from your prescriptions and a bit more.

Today I'm sharing some websites for you to learn about health problems and medications you take or need to understand for some reason.

The  www.webmd.com and www.medlineplus.gov websites tend to be quite reliable. And, they let you research medical conditions plus the treatments prescribed by doctors.


Pharmaceutical information explains drugs. Here are some links to let you better understand those drugs, their risks, side effects and benefits. 

These sites are NOT the only information you need, only a starting point: www.fda.govwww.rxlist.com and www.drugs.com.


Need to know something else related to your medical or mental health issues - perhaps someone else's? Let me know. I can try to find out some facts for you or let you know what's already in my files.


I plan to be offline tomorrow as it will be one of the saddest days on the Jewish calendar, Tisha B'Av. Jews worldwide will be fasting, praying and resolving to being better than we've been before.



Buy the E-book or print edition of EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge.  Learn of wonderfully helpful resources to help you to calm down, prevent problems and even pay your medical costs as you...

Face Your Medical Problems with Dignity. Face Your Future with Optimism. 

And face your challenges one at a time.

Lower Your Pain with a Loving Gesture

B'SD

Whew, I'm not comfortable with every technology. I find the task of creating, then uploading segments from




tedious - and challenging to my ever-changing vision. 

But I'm eager to share the world of medical facts with you. So, here's an excerpt from one of the newer shows still uploading. It's about how to treat yourself with love and respect even when you're in off-the-charts emotional and/or physical pain:

Today’s topic is DRUGS! Lots of everyday and famous people have died of accidental and even intentional drug overdoses. See the link on your monitor http://www.pharmacytechs.net/blog/18-celebrities-who-died-from-prescription-drugs to know what I mean.  

Too bad Whitney Houston, Heath Ledger, Elvis and a lot of other people never read EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge. Pages 29 – 35 teach you how to minimize, even how to lose all your physical pain with can-do techniques that cost less than a few dollars. Some of the ideas are from pain expert Dr. Neal Barnard of the Physicians’ Committee for Responsible Medicine. I interviewed him for a news story years ago. Some of the other content in that section of the book comes from my personal experiences. Trust me, when I needed to recover from a busted face and a crushed elbow on my dominant arm, I was very motivated to lower my pain. And I did, to the total astonishment of my medical team...

Face Your Future with Optimism.

How a Playdate Almost Ended a Child's Life


B'SD



11 Tamuz 5769


Accidental drug overdoses dominate news headlines these days. One such overdose almost cost the life of my friend's child recently.

During a playdate at someone's home, the visiting child saw some colorful candy on a table. Or so he thought.

He swallowed a pretty capsule, then told his friends' mommy what he'd done.

The reality is that he'd swallowed prescription drugs. I prefer not to mention which type so that you won't make assumptions later in this post.

Emergency phone conversations between the two mommies, a Poison Control Center and the affected child's pediatrician resulted in... you're gonna raise your eyebrows over this one...

An emergency visit to my home! WHY?

Because the Poison Control people and the pediatrician had prescribed an organic foodist's home remedy for ridding the body of toxins: Bentonite Clay. I happen to keep that item in my cupboards.

You can learn about the wonders of natural body detoxification from air pollution, chemically treated foods and drugs in "It's MY Crisis! And I'll Cry if I Need To." It saved my life in a way you'll find astounding. And I had never messed around with drugs to begin with!

Readers, the child I've written about could have died if the items he'd swallowed had been lethal. LOCK UP every medication in your home or office.
You just don't want to face a lifetime of inconsolable grief over an accident that's easy to prevent.


I pray you'll never face a gut-wrenching situation such as that mom, child and I did the other day. But if you're looking at lots of pills and other medications in your life, and you prefer to focus on improving your health, I know doctors and mental health professionals who recommend reading something that really IS "A Life Book that Helps You to Dry Your Tears and to Cope with a Medical Challenge."

It can clean up your heart, mind and body. Doctors tell you so on the back cover ;^ )

A Simple Way to Prevent Accidental Drug Overdoses



B'SD


10 Tamuz 5769



News media are full of updates about accidental drug overdoses; Michael Jackson's being the most recent headline experience with that.

Drug companies and government agencies are considering new restrictions on Over-the-Counter medications. They want to prevent more such tragedies.


But you don't need to wait for new laws. One book demonstrates how you can easily prevent such tragedies all on your own. It costs less than a lot of prescription pain medication.

And that book helps you to heal from or to cope better with so, so many medical problems.

It's no wonder that some mental health and medical professionals recommend or sell "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" in their offices.


Make happy headlines in your life.
