How to Restore Your Sense of Joy for Inner and Outer Health - Despite a Disability!

B'SD

4 Elul, 5772

One of the limitations of an illness or disability is on leisure travel. Thrilling views and experiences seem out of reach. 

I believe in finding solutions to  problems and came up with today's idea for a blogpost. I hope you'll enjoy this praise of deep sea diver's Jacques Cousteau's Calypso boat and adventures, courtesy of John Denver.

Traveling with a disability as part of your baggage is a challenge. Daily life's already tough. Traveling can complicate matters.


The good news is that there's a nifty resource for disabled travelers in


Read all about it on page 98,  in the middle of the Global Resources section (it's filled with info on organizations that will pay your medical care, medication, medical appliance and medical travel costs, and more!).


MORE good news! I just learned of the Accessible World initiative for matching needs to the facilities in a given location. The starting point is to submit an Access Profile, which is a personal definition of your needs. See http://www.linkedin.com/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Faccessibleplaces%2Enet%2Faccess-profile&urlhash=2EwR&_t=tracking_disc and let me know how it helps you.

Travel Warning: H1N1 Spreading "Too Fast"


B'SD

18 Iyar 5769

Back on May 4 I warned you about H1N1's spread and contradictory advice appearing in mainstream media. I also gave you a map for watching H1N1's globetrotting spread.

On May 8 I sent this E-mail to some acquaintances. I've held back from sharing it with you, but now I sense a need to go public with the frightening message:

Influenza A(H1N1) - update 186 May 2009 --

As of 16:00 GMT, 6 May 2009,
23 countries have officially
reported 1893 cases of
influenza A (H1N1) infection.

No rationale for travel restrictions
1 May 2009 --
WHO is not recommending travel restrictions related to the outbreak
of the Influenza A(H1N1) virus.

Now, if an innocent child knew that a
specific illness is spreading throughout
the world because travelers from
Ground Zero (Mexico, in this case) carry and spread it wherever they go,
then that child would decide (rationalize) to stop leaving home.

But WHO, the international health organization, can't put those 2 dots together.

OY.

Readers, I beg you: reconsider your travel plans if you're making any. Why? Because of this disturbing headline:

Swine Flu Spreading too Fast to Count, CDC Says...
If long-respected medical institutions don't issue effective - or worse, issue inconsistent - safety precautions, YOU and your loved ones could become unwitting victims of bad advice.

THAT could be a deadly mistake.

Be conservative. Stay home. Travel AFTER the contagion problem is over.

Proof that long-distance travel is endangering human health is in alarmingly evident supply. But sensible and mutual conclusions by venerated medical institutions are not.
