A Health Information Management professional, I survived a life-threatening emergency with information that only a person of my professional experience would know. And I’m sharing it!
Last night I signed copies of my book at a live appearance once again. Someone in the audience asked if It's MY Crisis! And I’ll Cry if I Need To has information for infertile couples hoping to conceive.
My book's Resources section definitely holds such information. And today I came across additional information that can help "couples hoping to become pregnant and carry to term."
Contact me about that new information if you wish, at giveretgolani@gmail.com. And be sure to buy my book. I'd be honored to share in your future happinesses!

My neighbor Rabbi Natan Slifkin is a wonderful researcher of the magnificent animal world (see http://www.zootorah.com/). His publishing career informs the world of fascinating natural wonders that so many of us would otherwise not know. The following excerpt of his most recent free Zine tells us that the medical world is on the verge of a cancer cure, thanks to the humble Newt:
"Newts used to be called ewts, but when you talk about an ewt it's very easy for the listener to think that you're talking about a newt, which is how the letter "n" migrated from one word to another.
"The fire-bellied newt is named after the striking red pattern on its belly, which warns predators of its mildly toxic skin secretions. Aside from that, it is plain black in color. Much as I find them appealing, it is hard to convince others that there is anything special about them. In an effort to make family and students appreciative of my new pets, I engaged in a little research.
"The information that I discovered amazed me. It is well-known that certain lizards have the ability to shed their tail and grow a new one, although the new tail is simply an elongation of the flesh and has no bone. But newts can lose entire legs and regenerate them to be indistinguishable from the original, bones and all. If the leg is severed at the shoulder, it will grow an entire leg. If it is severed at the knee, it will grow just the lower leg and foot. How do the cells know which part to manufacture? That isn't entirely clear.
"The tiny newt's amazing ability to direct rapid cellular growth has another ramification. The dreaded disease of cancer occurs when cells reproduce without stopping, invading the rest of the body. There are substances that can be injected into animals which cause them to grow tumors and contract deadly cancer. But when you inject these substances into a newt, they don't grow tumors; instead, they grow another leg or tail! It was just a few weeks ago that biologists finally identified the protein that is responsible for the newt's amazing abilities. Now the work is on to understand how this protein works, ultimately with a view to being able to engineer such a process for human beings. Science is a long, long way off from such things, but the humble newt has set us on the path."

The Western medical world is gradually admitting that health food fans know what we're talking about. This article at WedMD can improve your health and dining experience: http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/10-best-healing-herbs Yes, to the alert repeat visitors to my blog ;^ ) I changed the photo in my About Me profile to match the winter weather.

My focus at this time of year is to keep your spirits up. I present to you an article about a woman who developed the courage and insight to teach the medical world and everyone around her to pay attention to the evidence: Evidence that she had a physical, not a mental, problem.
Moral of the real life story:When you’re dissatisfied with the medical assessment of your problem, and you’re certain that you need a second opinion, maybe a third, GET IT!
Mimic her. Imitate every sound psychological action you know of. Insist that your symptoms be addressed professionally, correctly, competently.
As soon as you know you’ll be hospitalized, you can start to pack for the occasion.
Read It's MY Crisis! And I’ll Cry if I Need To and find a list of essentials you’ll need to pack whether you’re a man, woman or child. And learn what to leave out!

The holiday season is a contradiction in terms for people suffering from physical or emotional illness, and for people suffering with them. It's also a bummer for people who are lonely at this time of year. Today's post is dedicated to all of you. I hope it heals some of your pain.
What happens when someone isn't willing to try hard to get better from a serious illness? You know the dreary drill: they won’t do the hard work for medical treatment or for physical therapy, nor for developing emotional coping techniques. Maybe they already decided not to even to recover from the illness.
That stubbornness is a cry of pain: the suffering person wants to avoid additional pain. Unfortunately, that stubborn reaction causes far worse consequences.
The sick person becomes emotionally worse off and maybe sicker. Failing to make emotional or physical efforts to get better can cause things go from bad to worse. The medical world, loved ones and friends are then up against an Irresistible Force (the illness) and an Immovable Object (the patient).
Being and feeling sick, and being unable to do what you want to do, are downers. Painful exercises that improve the strength of your back, your limbs or your internal organs hurt. So do many medical treatments. You'd rather go to a movie, to a sports game, or to just feel better.
You want this medical problem to magically disappear.
It won't. Refusing to cope causes a downward spiral of ever-new complications. That's why I tell my Self-Help Coaching clients and other listeners that “The alternative to coping is worse.”
Face a painful future by forcing yourself to tackle one task at a time. Be willing to at least think, to consider alternatives to fear and to your refusal to cooperate with people trying to help. Agree to try one new thing at a time. Go from the easiest job to successively harder jobs over time. Give yourself a chance to catch your breath and to adjust your maturing perspective on life. Focus! Focus on the healing and coping processes.
Watch this video about facing tough choices. It's a great uplift for anyone who feels lonely, sad or disappointed at this time of year (or any time of year, day, hour, you name it!). A couple of laughs won't hurt you and these giggles might even help ;^ )
Culture Tip/Glossary: The English-speaking guy in the video uses a Yiddish word (Daven = Pray) and a Hebrew word (Kavanah = Focus, concentration).
Ahhh, your head and heart are warming up. You’re starting to focus on coping, not on the lousy alternative. Woo hoo! (Thanks Ben Goldfarb, Life Coach and contributor to Jerusalem Post newspaper http://www.jpost.com/ plus Arutz 7 news http://www.israelnn.com/).

You're stuffed with turkey, sauces, stuffings and loads of pie, so today's post is on a diet. One small portion of news that will leave you grinning, like these snowmen walking off too many calories (well, kind of...).
Israel's doctors have focused upon a promising treatment for people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, the same disease described in the biography, Tuesdays with Morrie. It might help people with Multiple Sclerosis, too. See Hadassah uses stem cells for MS, ALS patients
Such good news. What a delightful way to greet the winter!

Today's post is short, since global attention spans are focused on transportation problems (France has a BIG one and America is trying to get to Grandma's house for Thanksgiving meals despite airport slowdowns and railways filled with alternative travelers avoiding packed highways that resemble parking lots).
Speaking of trying to pull off a magic trick like Bullwinkle T. Moose, here's one that just might work for you. It builds upon yesterday's post about Memory Boosters. I suggest that you fill the blanks of your day-planners in pencil as I do. Plans tend to change and so do the locations of meetings, social events and other real life stuff.
