Look Who Has Credibility!

B'SD

Lots of people populate the world of book promotion efforts. Some stand out from the rest.

Nikki Leigh (http://www.nikkileigh.com/), one of the leaders in book promotion techniques, has spotlighted many successful authors. See the URL on the right-hand margin about my previous appearance on HER blog.

I'm so pleased to let you know that, this week, Nikki included THIS blog in her about-to-be-published manuscript, Book Promo 201.

Nikki entitled the segment Build Your Credibility Through a Blog. Why? Because I keep proving again and again, right here, that my book beat journalists to the deadline when it comes to sharing necessary medical information. Readers find what they NEED TO KNOW long before they learn of it through mainstream media.

Best of health to you, Yocheved

Here's How to Clean Out Your Arteries!

Doctors from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) organization have evidence that excessive levels of our hormones can damage our arteries. That's NOT good for heart health. Evidence from one of their recent studies might explain why men with too much testosterone have even MORE risk of developing heart disease than do women with unhealthily high levels of estrogen.

I'll try to simplify things: The study seems to imply that women older than 65, with high levels of estrogen, are more likely than other women to develop coronary artery calcium (CAC) - part of the fatty plaque that builds up in blood vessels and hardens arteries. Men over 55, with higher testosterone levels than same-aged men with the lowest testosterone levels, were 48 percent more likely to develop CAC.

It's a worldwide problem. The dreary title of the findings and its conclusions, " Sex Hormones and the Risk of Coronary Artery Calcium Progression in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis," were announced November 11 at the American Heart Association's annual Scientific Sessions in New Orleans.

Ready for the perplexing part of this scary situation? Erin D. Michos, M.D., M.H.S., assistant professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and its Heart and Vascular Institute says that "We know many things that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, such as high cholesterol and diabetes. But 10 percent to 20 percent of people who get heart disease don't have these risk factors, so we need to understand other factors that might be involved. Our results suggest that someday, in addition to testing your cholesterol and blood sugar levels to assess your heart disease risk, your doctor may want to measure your sex hormone levels as well."

There's more to the story of course, and that will be revealed over time.

Let's cut to the good news:

OK class, what does MY BOOK recommend for lowering those excessive hormone levels that only seem to hurt your body, not to help it? Start learning the simple answer on page 101 ;^ )

If you need to have me clarify the solution for you, drop me a line at giveretgolani@gmail.com.

Er, the doctor who can address this health problem is listed in the Resources section of It's MY Crisis, too. I recommended him for a very good reason. He's one of the reasons why I wrote A Life Book that Helps You to Dry Your Tears and to Cope with a Medical Challenge.

Whenever I speak about my book in public, and as I indicate several times in my book, the emphasis is on being non-judgmental. A person who is ill can't choose or control their SYMPTOMS. Despite focused efforts and the best of intentions, a seriously ill individual can't always control their REACTIONS to those symptoms either.

Click on this New York Daily News article to understand why the ordinary acts of walking, chewing, seeing correctly (among other problems) can be more than some brain tumor patients can manage.

One item that the article does not address is the exhaustion that goes with brain tumors, especially after surgical removal. A human body works hard to overcome the trauma that surgery can be. The aftermath might include: healing scars, replenishing blood supplies, shedding drugs used during surgery, fighting off seizures and perhaps accommodating anti-seizure medication (wow does that stuff have side-effects). There's another adjustment going at the same time: learning to use nerves that are no longer compromised by the weight or other interference of the now-gone tumor(s). That adjustment is unique to each person.

Coupled with everything else going on in the person's body, a sense of sleepiness sometimes lingers for weeks or months. It's a sign that the body is tired from all the coping mechanisms it uses.

It is NOT a sign of unhappiness.

I'll say it again: Some people confuse the physical drain with emotional depression. Please don't. You'll just confuse everybody and choose unhelpful responses. That's not good.

Don't make assumptions. The perplexing state of affairs is true for many medical problems. Choose compassion, not panic. Ask questions of doctors and therapists; seek out solutions that improve life for the ill person and for you.


Winter's here with grayer days while the holiday season beckons us to be happy. A serious medical situation can complicate things. Here's my suggestion for minimizing the hardship:



BUY MY BOOK and read about some wonderful coping strategies proven effective over time. There's a reason that a minister, rabbis, scientists and doctors wrote their recommended reading praises on the cover of 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.

Wishing you a pleasant holiday season,

Late in Israel's afternoon yesterday, I was interviewed about my book on the Arutz 7 "Judean Eve" show with Eve Harow. We had to make do with a mere 15-minute timeslot about an hour or so after the show began, but I managed to speak of some essential ideas. Listen in by clicking INR, then click on LISTEN NOW.

On to another topic:

Stuff happens. Some of it affects our health and welfare. I tend to be concerned about the winter holiday season because so many defenseless shoppers and vacationers fill easily targeted areas.



Today's post is a simple plea: Please. Be careful out there.

The Doctor Will Save You Now...

It's so maddening to hear some flunky announce that "The doctor is not in right now..." when you are suffering. You just want to throw the phone or a tantrum at them!

Calm down. Some medical professionals have ears as wonderful as their hearts. I have a terrific story to share with you:

Mystery Solved By a Doctor Who Listened.

WOW. Some story, huh?

Read my book and learn how to talk so YOUR doctor (and nurses) can listen better to YOU!

Sometimes I am taken aback to discover just how valuable my book can be. That sense of surprise happens when Mass Media relates medical news or warnings to the public and I realize that MY BOOK ALREADY ADDRESSED THE TOPIC.

What made me catch my breath today, a year and a half after the publication of It's MY Crisis! And I'll Cry if I Need To? The Baltimore Sun newspaper just ran an article about how to prevent medication mistakes for people on several medicines at home or in a hospital. This advice is especially important for elderly patients (not just for the elderly, but especially for them. Younger readers can also benefit from the advice).

Check out Expert advice: Medication misuse.

My book addresses the problem on pages 36, 37 and 70. Readers of any age can protect themselves from medication errors by reading the information there.

As I've mentioned before on this blog, I highly recommend that you BUY MY BOOK TODAY to find out what other important information you need LONG BEFORE anyone else lets you in on it.

As my link for professional writers indicates, I'm a savvy and quite successful researcher. My book is filled with information YOU NEED. Click HERE, then on View Full Profile to see what I mean.
