Passover is GOOD for Your Waistline!

B'SD

9 Nisan, 5773

Jews around the world are preparing Passover, which begins Monday night. We're scouring our homes, offices, vehicles and pockets of leavened foods and their crumbs.

We're also focusing on the miracles of the matza (and the manna!) that fed us  once we were liberated from slavery. We're also focused on The One Who Saved us ;^ D

The Egyptian slavery was one thing. Emotional/mental health slavery is another. All of humanity needs to be free to be mentally and physically healthy. Here are a few FYIs about that:

Looking at Life 

SEDER and Rebirth


This time of year is a good time to mind your dining habits. I highly recommend these cookbooks for making your Passover meals delicious, nutritious, and slimming:

The No-Potato Passover Cookbook

The Modern Menu

The Garden of Spices: Recipes for Life

Make a shopping list of the foods you need, sharpen your kitchen knives and get to work. You'll enjoy the holiday more without feeling bloated, constipated or bored with your food. 

I bet you'll even develop a new twinkle in your eyes as you fill yourself with the simple pleasure of good and good-for-you food.

If you're gluten-intolerant or allergic to wheat-based matza, buy spelt matza or Kestenbaum's oat matza (I enjoy both). They should be available in major grocery stores within Jewish communities.

I happen to be friends with Rabbi Ephraim Kestenbaum, the man who created those oat matzas. He saved his daughter's life with them. It's quite a story that will be included in a biography coming out in the foreseeable future. 

Yes, Passover can be GOOD for your waistline and overall health!

What Would YOU Attempt to Do if You Knew You Could Not Fail?

There's usually a beginning, a muddle and an end to success with some complicated project or other. Health issues qualify as "VERY complicated," whether they're emotional, medical or spiritual, wouldn't you agree?


Perhaps Regina Dugan's TEDTALKS Video can inspire you to ever-greater achievements. Keep your heart and mind focused on the goal. Respect, but do not fear, failure. It just might lead you to an accomplishment or valuable realization.


No matter what's ailing you, I bet you'll feel better fast with quick and convenient: E-book or print edition EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge.

Just in time for the Holidays! Misery Made Easy!

27 Tishrei 5771



High Holiday Season just ended for Jewish observers and gosh, it's time for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Xmas, Kwaanza and Hanuka marketers to hit the airwaves! Bonking your braincells with messages about "Buy this/do that to be happy" and filling your heart with pain about images of people who seem happier than you are what "We want you to feel inadequate so buy This Solution" advertising sales are all about.

You smell fine and look normal.

Not everybody

is a gourmet cook.

Gifts and home renovations
are hard to pay for

in today's strained

global economy.

Skip the guilt trip by

turning off the TV, radio

and other sound systems.

Close

magazines

and newspapers

paid for

by fear-promoting

and

anger-inducing

ad revenue.

I hope your eyes will fill with tears of laughter by watching this lesson about Misery Made Easy (it'll teach you how to avoid it 1-2-3!)

What Can a Doctor Do When HE or SHE Suffers a Medical Crisis?

2 Tamuz 5769

Months ago, I sent the manuscript for the sequel of "It's MY Crisis!" to a radiologist - he's also a medical ethicist no less - whose articles appear on the 'Net from time to time. I asked him to read the manuscript and to provide "praise" for the back cover as the medical ethicist he is.

Well, life is full of surprises. Read what happened as you follow the doctor's reply to me below:


"Dear Yocheved,

Thank you for sending me the second edition of your book, 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.

I received the book one week after I suffered my own medical crisis and found it very helpful. I think the book 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.

Possibly more importantly, the book offers 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.

When a person is ill, they are by nature in a compromised position and often do not 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 encouragement to never give up hope, the book will be of great aid to anyone with a sudden serious medical emergency.

Thank you again for sending me the book to review. Daniel Eisenberg, MD"

BTW, the good doctor is with the 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 http://www.daneisenberg.com/

OK readers, now you know why my schedule has been so busy lately. I'm finalizing the publication preparations for "It's MY Crisis! And I'll Cry if I Need To: EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge." As Dr. Eisenberg indicates, it's a powerful patient tool.

Anorexia is not a topic covered in my book, though I provide information for locating mental health therapists who address any problem in my book's RESOURCES section.

Click on STARVING IN THE LAND OF PLENTY if you'd appreciate a friendly look at one father's efforts to save his child from this baffling problem.

When you need to find a competent mental health therapist somewhere in this perplexing world, BUY MY BOOK and see the RESOURCES section at the back. It's filled with relevant contact information.

My heart goes out to you and to the person starving themselves.
