“Since I started spinal decompression therapy, I've noticed GREAT improvement with my condition. Everyone in this office is very courteous and wonderful. The treatment has been exactly what I needed. If anyone has a pain in their neck or herniated discs, I recommend coming to Dr. Donath and Dr. Marshall. You will not be disappointed.�

Apply Your Daily SPF No one likes a sunburn and no one likes those funky tan lines. Applying sunscreen is important. Not only does sunscreen help prevent skin cancer, but it has also been proven to help slow down your skin’s aging process. Severe sun burns (also known as sun poisoning) can also lead to extreme dehydration, if you aren’t careful, which could require a stay in the hospital. A sunscreen with a lower SPF can be just as effective as one with a higher SPF. However, people with a fairer complexion should use a higher SPF, due to less melanin in their skin. Lotions are usually a little more effective than sprays, just because there is less of a chance for streaking.

Embrace “Healthier” Barbeques Families and friends love to have a good barbeque during the summer, but instead of the traditional staples, broaden your palette a little. Instead of the traditional burgers and brats, opt for grilled chicken or try some fresh fish on the grill. These portions of tasty protein are much healthier than hamburgers or hot dogs, and they leave you feeling fuller longer.
4 Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate Water is your best bet for a summer beverage. Sure, you can still enjoy the occasional cocktail, you just need to drink more water if you are going to be outdoors for more than a few hours. For every hour that you are in the sun, you should drink at least 1-2 glasses, or at least 1-2 bottles. This prevents dehydration and will replenish your energy levels while you take in the rays.

Summer means a time for surfing, sand, barbeques, pool parties and the occasional getaway. Many of these plans are also an open invitation for you to get sick, especially if you are traveling our lounging outside. If any of your summer plans revolve around these activities, here are 6 ways you can ensure you stay healthy.

ways to stay healthy this

Travel Light
Most people don’t think of luggage leading to injury, but actually, it’s quite common. Packing light can prevent injuries such as strains, pulls, and tears. If you do need to pack more because you are going on an extended trip, make sure you are familiar with proper techniques for heavy lifting. Bend at the knees, and use your leg muscles, and avoid twisting or rotating your spine. Ideally, you want to save money by not checking your bags, but it may be a good idea to reconsider, especially if you are traveling alone. A checked bag fee is cheaper than a visit to the doctor.
2
Eat Breakfast! Too many times too many people forget to eat breakfast in the morning before heading outside. Without proper nutrition first thing in the morning, your body basically wilts in the summer sun, potentially leading to heat overexposure, dehydration, or fainting. Eat a breakfast high in protein, like eggs, with a side of fruit or whole grains. Plus, a healthy breakfast first thing in the morning will jump-start your metabolism.
1
Avoid Over-Intoxication It’s understandable that during summer you want to have a good time, but it’s important that you cool it on the alcoholic beverages if you are going to be outside for more than a few hours. When you drink alcohol in the sun, it dehydrates you further, causing you to perspire and urinate more. Alcohol fails to replenish your water stores, so it’s important that you drink water between alcoholic beverages.

Heart disease in women is survivable with early diagnosis, action, and advanced treatments Heart disease in women can occur in the young and old, in seemingly healthy women as well as those with risk factors. The Westchester-Fairfield American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women Luncheon on Friday, June 2nd put a face on women’s heart disease by sharing local survivors’ stories throughout the event. The Luncheon drew a crowd of more than 300 mostly women, dressed in the signature women and heart disease campaign color—red. Guests heard inspiring survivor stories, and were educated about heart disease, risk factors and news of medical research and treatments to fight heart disease, all while raising funds to sup-
port the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women campaign to fight women’s number one killer—heart disease. Heart disease and stroke cause 1 in 3 deaths among women each year – more than all cancers combined. Almost two-thirds (64%) of women who die suddenly of coronary heart disease have no previous symptoms. Even if you have no symptoms, you may still be at risk for heart disease. But the American Heart Association (AHA) is seeking to change that with prevention and awareness. Donations are still being accepted online at http://westfairgoredluncheon.heart.org/.

(standing L to R) Christine Wayne (Stamford), Kim Salveggi (Yorktown) and Cheryl Slaughter (Croton) were honored at the West-Fair Go Red For Women Luncheon on Friday, June 2nd at the Hilton Westchester. Wayne and Salveggi both survived heart attacks, and Slaughter’s daughter, Jessica, survived heart surgery at age 7 to repair a hole in her heart. The Slaughter family raises funds for the American Heart Association through their Turkey Trot fun run in Croton-On-Hudson every Thanksgiving morning.
Kim Salveggi, 43, from Yorktown, and Christine Wayne, 37, of Stamford, CT were featured in a short film. Salveggi, a married mother of two teenage girls, suffered a coronary artery dissection in March of 2015. She was previously diagnosed with depression and hypochondria when symptoms of extreme exhaustion began in September 2014. When more classic heart attack symptoms of chest, jaw and arm pain set in, she feared that nobody would believe what she knew all along— something was seriously wrong. At the emergency room, doctors believed her, and she survived after a stent was inserted during emergency cardiac catheterization. She recently returned to work. continued on next page

Christine Wayne survived sudden cardiac arrest in December of 2016. She felt tired all day and while in the shower, she began to cough and was overcome with exhaustion and nausea. She said did not want to call 9-1-1, as is recommended. What if someone saw her? Why incur the cost when someone could just come pick her up? When she began to have trouble breathing, she finally called her mother, who said to call 9-1-1. Another moment’s delay and she might not have made it. On route in the ambulance, her heart stopped four times. She awoke to people counting and shouting “CLEAR!” At the hospital, two stents were put in, and was released after a week in the hospital. She is now back to her daily routine. Both are advocates for Go Red For Women’s lifesaving messages to learn about, prevent and know the symptoms of heart attack in women. In the video, Salveggi implores women to second opinion and never stop advocating for your health. Wayne wants women to know the symptoms of heart attack and not be embarrassed to call the ambulance—minutes count.

Keynote Speaker, Mara Schiaocampo of ABC News.
The Go Red For Women Luncheon included a morning health and wellness exhibition featuring local health professionals, networking, and a keynote address by Mara Schiavocampo, an ABC News correspondent and author based in New York. Schiavocampo is a two-time Emmy Award-winning journalist, and best-selling author of, “THINspired,” her personal journey of losing 90 pounds after the birth of her daughter.

She said at the event that prior to her lifestyle changes, including a diet overhaul, she used to eat almost exclusively prepared, pre-packaged food, which is typically high in calories, sodium and sugar. “My definition of health at that time was the absence of illness,” she said. Now, after her journey of health, she eats almost all fresh, home-cooked meals, including a variety of fruits, vegetables and healthy fish, and doesn’t feel deprived. An estimated 44 million women in the U.S. are affected by cardiovascular diseases, and 90% of women have one or more risk factors for heart disease or stroke. The good news is 80 percent of cardiac and stroke events may be prevented with education and action. Small, incremental changes to lifestyle can go a long way in preventing these leading killers. Quitting smoking, exercising at least 30 minutes per day, maintaining a healthy weight, and eating more fruits and vegetables can help prevent heart disease and stroke. More information is available at GoRedForWomen.org. Go Red For Women is sponsored Nationally by Macy's, and locally by Signature Sponsor, Stamford Health. Other sponsors include Greenwich Hospital, Morgan Stanley, New York-Presbyterian, Fuji Film, White Plains Hospital, Buzz Creators, Healthcare News, Professional Women of Westchester, WHUD, Westchester Magazine, and ABC7.
“The Advocate” Adria Goldman Gross Featured in Good Housekeeping’s List “10 boss ladies who give badassery a whole new meaning”
Good Housekeeping published their list of the nation's 10 most successful and fearless women groundbreakers over 50 (September 2016). Inclusion on this list, which Good Housekeeping touts as featuring “10 boss ladies who give badassery a whole new meaning,” recognizes Adria Goldman Gross’s decades-long commitment to helping consumers reduce medical bills, avoid overcharges, and fight denied reimbursements for legitimate claims – all of which are tasks that often pit her up against some of the most powerful hospitals and physician groups in the country. “It’s an honor to be included on Good Housekeeping’s list, and being called `The Advocate’ by their panel of experts,” commented Ms. Gross, whose book has been praised by consumer protection advocate Ralph Nader, and who regularly delivers speeches and presentations at organizations across the country. “There are many women of all ages who are working tirelessly, and sometimes thanklessly, to help their clients and communities. Many of my personal role models are on this list, and it will serve as an inspiration to me, just as I hope it does for both women and men out there who aren’t afraid to stand up and fight for what’s right!” Adria Goldman Gross, President of MedWise Insurance Advocacy, provides medical billing advocacy and consulting services to Legal and Medical professionals, as well as individuals throughout the United States. Services include analyzing and resolving medical bills, medical lien claims, medical insurance pre-authorizations, denied insurance claims, medical letters of appeal, understanding explanation of benefits and more. Ms. Gross is a member of American Medical Billing Association, Alliance of Claims Assistance Professionals, and American Academy of Professional Coders. She also serves on the board of Insurance Professionals of Orange County (New York).

The law firm of Ely J. Rosenzveig & Associates, PC, achieves impressive results for clients in the areas of elder law, trusts and estates
Ely J. Rosenzveig and his son, Ariel, are proud to lead a respected elder law firm in White Plains serving families throughout the tri-state area. However, the family feel extends past father and son. The law firm of Ely J. Rosenzveig & Associates, P.C treats every client like family. “My dad and I are very involved in our clients’ lives, especially during difficult times,” Ariel Rosenzveig said. “We become close to them and we enjoy the relationships that we build. We value those relationships and are always attentive to our clients to help them with all of their needs. We take special pride in being there for our clients and their families through thick and thin.” Ely J. Rosenzveig & Associates practices in all areas of elder law, including trust and estate planning, administration, and litigation, tax counsel, asset protection and special needs planning, Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security disability benefits, guardianships, long term care planning, Medicaid spousal recovery claims, and Medicaid lien resolutions. Father and son pride themselves on an unyielding commitment to the advocacy of their clients’ interests. Estate planning is one of the most important steps any person can take to make sure that their final property and health care wishes are honored, and that loved ones are provided for in their absence. A comprehensive estate plan can resolve a number of legal questions that arise whenever anyone dies. The firm has achieved impressive results for clients on a host of Medicaid related issues, from getting Medicaid approvals for coverage of home care and institutional care benefits, to very accommodative resolutions of Medicaid spousal recovery claims, where the office of Medicaid aggressively pursues a claim for reimbursement for Medicaid benefits provided from the non-institutionalized (i.e., or “community”) spouse.
“Our firm has a thorough understanding of Medicaid and the experience to advocate aggressively and effectively for you and your family,” said Ely Rosenzveig, who has been an attorney for nearly thirty (30) years. “It is very rewarding work and we work tirelessly for our clients.” Elder law is very important. Appropriate estate and asset-protection planning can help preserve assets, reduce taxes, and help individuals qualify for Medicaid. As you or your loved one grows older, the quality of care you receive becomes increasingly important. At some point, it becomes necessary to make plans for the future to make sure that your needs and desires are met. When this time comes, it is important to enlist the experience of Ely J. Rosenzveig & Associates, so the process of planning for the future is stress-free for your family. This can be critical in the process of maintaining the well-being of you or your loved one. At Ely J. Rosenzveig & Associates, father and son have the opportunity to help clients plan across the span of many years. Often, it leads to advising multiple generations of the family, which Ely and Ariel Rosenzveig find rewarding. Over the course of time, they help clients as their lives and needs change, from naming the guardians of their minor children in their Wills, to planning for retirement, to protecting assets when in need of a skilled nursing facility or home care. Ely J. Rosenzveig & Associates builds a relationship with clients, which is built upon years of assisting them, often in difficult times in their lives, and helping them move beyond those times and provide them with peace of mind and financial security. Our firm is certainly proud to build these types of relationships with families such as yours.

Fitness Forum Stay safe during hot-weather exercise by drinking enough fluids, wearing proper clothing and timing your workout to avoid extreme heat.
Heat and exercise: Keeping cool in hot weather How to avoid heat-related illnesses
When you exercise in hot weather, keep these precautions in mind:
Watch the temperature. Pay attention to weather forecasts and heat alerts. Know what the temperature is expected to be for the duration of your planned outdoor activity. In running events, there are "flag" warnings that correspond to the degree of heat and humidity. For example, a yellow flag requires careful monitoring, and races are canceled in black flag conditions. Get acclimated. If you're used to exercising indoors or in cooler weather, take it easy at first when you exercise in the heat. It can take at least one to two weeks to adapt to the heat. As your body adapts to the heat over time, gradually increase the length and intensity of your workouts.
Know your fitness level. If you're unfit or new to exercise, be extra cautious when working out in the heat. Your body may have a lower tolerance to the heat. Reduce your exercise intensity and take frequent breaks.
Drink plenty of fluids. Dehydration is a key factor in heat illness. Help your body sweat and cool down by staying wellhydrated with water. Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink fluids.
If you plan to exercise intensely, consider a sports drink instead of water. Sports drinks can replace the sodium, chloride and potassium you lose through sweating. Avoid alcoholic drinks because they can actually promote fluid loss. Dress appropriately. Lightweight, loosefitting clothing helps sweat evaporate and keeps you cooler. Avoid dark colors, which can absorb heat. If possible, wear a light-colored, wide-brimmed hat.
Avoid midday sun. Exercise in the morning or evening, when it's likely to be cooler outdoors. If possible, exercise in shady areas, or do a water workout in a pool. Wear sunscreen. A sunburn decreases your body's ability to cool itself and increases the risk of skin cancer.
Have a backup plan. If you're concerned about the heat or humidity, stay indoors. Work out at the gym, walk laps inside the mall or climb stairs inside an air-conditioned building.
Understand your medical risks. Certain medical conditions or medications can increase your risk of a heat-related illness. If you plan to exercise in the heat, talk to your doctor about precautions. Heat-related illnesses are largely preventable. By taking some basic precautions, your exercise routine doesn't have to be sidelined when the heat is on.

Large Life Insurance Benefits for Small Companies! By Andrew J. Cavaliere, CLTC Today many small business owners need life insurance with higher death benefits in order to protect their businesses and their families. Acquiring these policies usually involves full underwriting, that is, completed paramedical exams, blood and urine screenings, EKG’s and medical records. Moreover, this process guarantees nothing if major health concerns are present. Focus 10 Life is an employer paid, simplified issue, individual term life insurance program. With Focus 10, an employer is able to provide large amounts of life insurance to executives and other key employees without any paramedical exams or medical records!
Eligible “white collar” employees can qualify by simply satisfying one “actively at work” question. Focus 10 Life offers several unique advantages over other employer paid life insurance products, such as group term life. The most important being the much higher issue limits. Focus 10 Life insurance issue limits can be as high as $1.5 million while most other group term life issue limits are considerably lower; generally, $50,000 is the maximum death benefit limit with traditional simplified issue underwriting (usually 10 questions that must be answered appropriately). Another important difference is that the Focus 10 Life policy rates are guaranteed for 10 years, while most other group term contract rates are only guaranteed for three years. Furthermore, what happens with the group term life rate if there is a separation of service, like when an employee leaves their job? We all know that the employee has the option of taking the policy with them, but the conditions of portability require the term life group policy be converted to a permanent insurance contract like Universal or Whole life. Most people cannot afford to convert to the expensive permanent policy, so they end up with no life insurance at all. If the insured separates while the policy is in the ten year rate guaranteed period, Focus 10 allows the insured to take the policy with them at the same term rate!
Finally, Focus 10 Life can be an ideal vehicle for funding a Buy-Sell Agreement. A significant amount a life insurance can be acquired on a Simplified Issue basis again with just one "actively at work" question. A buy-sell agreement is a legally binding document that stipulates what will happen to a business when a business owner or partner becomes disabled, dies, retires or decides to sell his or her interest in the company. For Buy-Sell funding for multiple owners, typically the employer is both the owner and beneficiary of the policy. Upon the death of an owner, the company uses the life insurance proceeds to purchase the shares of the deceased owner, as stipulated by the Buy-Sell Agreement.
Simplified Issue Guidelines As you might expect with any Simplified Issue program, each Focus 10 Life plan is subject to a set of rules or guidelines to help protect the carrier from adverse selection. Some of the basic guidelines are as follows: • • • • • •
Targeted to white-collar occupations Minimum lives: 10 Maximum Benefit up to $1.5 million Minimum face amount: $50,000 Maximum Issue Age: 70 at nearest birthday Online application that takes minutes to complete!
For those employers or partnerships that are currently providing group term life coverage, they should consider that a FOCUS 10 LIFE plan can be used as 1) a valuable addition to their life insurance program by “stacking” benefit amounts above existing levels and/or 2) a “carve-out” of key employees from an existing group plan.

Drink plenty of fluids. Dehydration is a key factor in heat illness. Help your body sweat and cool down by staying wellhydrated with water. Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink fluids.
If you plan to exercise intensely, consider a sports drink instead of water. Sports drinks can replace the sodium, chloride and potassium you lose through sweating. Avoid alcoholic drinks because they can ed photos provid actually promote fluid loss. Dress appropriately. Lightweight, loosefitting clothing helps sweat evaporate and keeps you cooler.

Avoid midday sun. Exercise in the morning or evening, when it's likely to be cooler outdoors. If possible, exercise in shady areas, or do a water workout in a pool. Wear sunscreen. A sunburn decreases your body's ability to cool itself and increases the risk of skin cancer.
Have a backup plan. If you're concerned about the heat or humidity, stay indoors. Work out at the gym, walk laps inside the mall or climb stairs inside an air-conditioned building.
Understand your medical risks. Certain medical conditions or medications can increase your risk of a heat-related illness. If you plan to exercise in the heat, talk to your doctor about precautions.

Summer program at local Kiddie Academy inspires children to explore their capacity for courage and discover their inner strength
This summer, Kiddie Academy of Fishkill®, an early education child care provider, will teach children to discover their inner courage as they learn about Amelia Earhart, Gertrude Ederle, Rosa Parks, and Katherine Switzer -historical pioneers known for their fearlessness when facing enormous personal and political challenges. The lesson is an extension of Kiddie Academy’s ongoing Amazing Starts Here® creative campaign, which highlights strong role models from America’s past to inspire generations of the future. According to Richard Peterson, vice president of education for Kiddie Academy, the latest curriculum is designed to help children understand what “courage” really is, because life’s greatest adventures can happen in a moment of bravery. “Many people associate courage with a heroic act or a brave deed, but courage isn’t always impressive and powerful. In fact, courage is a virtue that children get to practice daily ˆ when they stand up for themselves or a friend, or do the right thing even when it‚s not the easy choice, or reach out to the new kid in class, or try something new,” said Peterson. “In short, courage is inspired by fear; fear of a new situation, person, or task that feels risky or unfamiliar. Children who overcome that fear to reach out and embrace new people and experiences are demonstrating Œcourage, and building a cornerstone of a strong, determined character, distinguished by inner strength, integrity, and honesty.”
This summer, Kiddie Academy’s CampVentures® program will inspire children’s imagination through a program of exciting and developmentally appropriate activities, field trips, and special visitors designed to turn summer vacation into a summer of exploration for children ages 2 through 12. With four brave and determined role models as their inspiration, children will be encouraged to try new things, take new risks, meet new friends, and discover that they have the courage to make mistakes as they learn and have fun, according to Peterson. “Amelia Earhart, Gertrude Ederle, Rosa Parks, and Katherine Switzer each, in her own way, demonstrated extraordinary courage and determination. Earhart challenged both societal norms and the unknown when she became the first woman to pilot a plane solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Gertrude Ederle was the first woman to swim across the English Channel, Rosa Parks‚ courageous acts made her an icon of the modern Civil Rights Movement, and Katherine Switzer forged a new path in sports history as the first woman to run the Boston Marathon,” said Peterson. “Introducing children to a variety of role models helps them understand how courage can take many shapes. Our goal is to have each of the children in our care recognize his or her individual capacity for courage so that they can use that selfknowledge to face and overcome challenges in the classroom and in life.” For more information about Amazing Starts Here® and CampVentures® at Kiddie Academy of Fishkill in Fishkill, please contact Noreen Quackenbush at (845) 897-8700 or kafishkillfun@optimum.net.

Sleep-Away Camp Packing Tips
1. Plan ahead Read all of the information the camp sends you well in advance so you know exactly what to expect. Sometimes a camp will have special items they require that aren’t found on a typical packing list. The paperwork will tell you the ins and outs of that specific camp. Fill out all forms ahead of time and be sure to ask if you have any questions.
2. Use a packing list and pack smart When packing, roll clothes to save space and put socks and underwear inside shoes. Use packing cubes to sort smaller items and toiletries. Pack thin towels that will dry quickly, and consider sending baby powder for swimsuit chafing. Pack more underwear, socks, and sunscreen than you think they’ll need. Label your child’s clothing and personal items. 3. Only send items you don’t mind losing Send kids with older clothes, hats, and shoes, basically items you don’t mind getting lost or being thrown away when they return home.
4. Leave the technology at home Taking a smart phone to camp will only be a distraction and prevent kids from making new friends. Not to mention it’s one more valuable item to worry about losing, so leave it at home, they’ll be fine without it.
5. Don’t forget the medications, glasses, retainer, or contact lenses The camp will have a nurse or infirmary where prescription medications will be kept for the duration of your child’s stay. They also will have all the basic first aid necessities so there is no need for you to bring your own. It is up to your child to manage their contacts, glasses, and/or retainer, so if your child hasn’t been to sleep-away camp before, you may want to discuss the importance of these items ahead of time. If your child has food allergies you will want to make sure your child understands what to do in case of an emergency and that the staff of the camp is informed as well.

That’s why… I bet you would love to instantly end your pain… without any risk what-so-ever… and have it never come back for the rest of your life? Well, that might NOT be so easy. But, what if there was a wonderful advancement in technology that, with a handful of simple, non-invasive treatments, could possibly have you out of pain and on your way to healing naturally? Better yet, what if this technology could possibly heal your herniated/bulging discs (instead of cutting it out like surgery) so you have the best chance to live pain-free and do all the things you want and love to do? And what if this technology was: • FDA cleared! • Proven safe and effective! • Allows your herniated discs to heal naturally without the risky and dangerous side effects of surgery! • Relieves pain fast… in some cases in as little as 25 minutes! Well, guess what? There is such technology and there is a very good chance it can help you… like it has alof ready helps thousands herniated/bulging disc and sciatica sufferers all around the country… No Matter How Bad Your Pain Is, How Long You’ve Been Suffering Or How Many Other Treatments And Doctors Have Failed You! Don’t laugh. It’s really true. Here’s proof…
When you have a herniated disc, compressive forces cause your spinal bones to come together… basically squashing your disc. The space in between your bones decreases and the soft, jello-like disc material leaks out. This disc material that leaks out is called a herniated disc and can cause severe pain, numbness and tingling in your neck, back, arms or legs when the herniation pushes into and “pinches” a nerve. So it makes sense, if you could slightly pull the spinal bones apart… that would open up the space, take the pressure off the disc, the disc off the nerve and solve the problem. Right? But the only problem is… how do you do that? For years and years, doctors have been trying to do it with traction. But traction has been proven ineffective and often very painful. Why? Traction doesn’t work because when you have a herniated or bulging disc, the area is injured and when you try to move, your muscles go into spasm. Spasm is your body’s way of trying to protect you from causing further injury. That’s why traction hurts so much. As soon as the traction starts… your muscles overprotect the area and spasm. But the good news is: Now there is technology that out-smarts your body’s natural spasm reaction. In other words: It fools mother nature! This technology is called nonsurgical spinal decompression (NSSD) and here’s how it works… NSSD is very different from plain traction because it has advanced computer technology that actually senses your spinal muscles. When it starts to gently pull, it immediately knows when your muscles start to contract and it stops pulling. As soon as your muscles relax, it starts pulling again. The amazing thing is: the computer senses your muscles contraction so early… you don’t even feel what is going on. Which means you never feel any pain! In fact, the only thing most patients feel is… RELIEF!!! But the best part is: NSSD is able to gently separate your spinal bones which, in many cases, actually sucks the herniated disc material back into the disc where it belongs! This takes away your pain and allows your herniated and bulging discs to heal naturally!
And check this out: Treatments are pleasant and simple. All you have to do is lie on your back, listen to your favorite music, read a magazine… or… take a nap! The wonderful technology does everything while you simply RELAX the pain away! To sum up NSSD: • For most patients it is 100% painless… in fact many patients actually fall asleep during treatment! • Works fast! Most patients get relief after a handful of treatments – some after the very first! • Is non-invasive so it does not have the dangerous risks of surgery! • Gets to the root cause of the problem and helps it heal naturally! Isn’t modern technology wonderful? And wouldn’t you like to… Give This Great Technology A Try… For Free? If you would, there’s great news. There is a Doctor located at 222 Westchester Ave. Suite 405 in White Plains who has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in this wonderful technology and has been treating herniated/bulging disc and sciatica patients with incredible success. His name is Dr. Jonathan Donath DC, MS and he is so excited about the results he’s been getting, he would like to share it with as many pain sufferers as possible. But There Is A Catch… There’s always a catch... isn’t there? Even though this technology has helped a majority of the patients Dr. Donath has treated… it is not a wonder cure and it does not help everyone.
On the right: healthy disc. Center: Herniated disc with soft disc material leaking out. On the left: Herniated disc material compressing or “pinching” nerve.
For that reason, Dr. Donath does a complete examination on every potential patient and only accepts you if he feels you are most likely to get the pain relief and outcome you are looking for. Dr. Donath’s Special Deal For You! Because the economy is so bad and Dr. Donath wants to help you if possible, he is offering the first 17 people who respond to this article a free consultation and NSSD qualification examination. And if you qualify for NSSD treatments, Dr. Donath will also give you one treatment for FREE! And if you do not qualify, Dr. Donath will help you find the best option for you. That’s why, if you suffer with pain from a herniated/bulging disc or sciatica you should call 914-259-8104 right now.

If you are one of the first 17, she will schedule you within the next few days. If you are in a lot of pain or already scheduled for surgery, tell April and she will be sure to get you in immediately. Maybe even today.
On right: Herniated disc with spinal bones “squished” together. Center: NSSD slightly pulls the spinal bones apart, opens up the disc space and allows herniated material to move back into the disc. Left: Herniated material completely back in center of disc allows the disc to heal naturally. Your consultation and examination should take about 60 minutes. During this time you can get all of your questiones answered in a warm and friendly environment. You will know exactly what’s causing your pain and the best possible way to solve it. Dr. Donath will explain to you all your possible options along with his recomendations so you can make the best choice for YOU.
Why Limited To 17? Dr. Donath has limited the number he will accept right now to 17 because he does not believe patients should wait and they should also get the quality personal attention they deserve. When you go for your free visit, I’m sure you will see how unique and pleasant the experience is. It’s nice to be treated like a person and not a number or based on insurance coverage. It’s also nice to know exactly what’s causing your pain and how to relieve it as fast as possible. Dr. Donath’s favorite cases are the one’s that were able to cancel back surgery after only a handful of treatments. Dr. Donath also loves when a herniated disc patient that is in excruciating pain and thinks they’ve tried everything, lays down on the NSSD table, takes a 25 minute nap… and… wakes up with all their pain GONE! Just imagine how it would feel to have all your pain finally gone. Imagine going to bed and being able to sleep the entire night through… … and waking up refreshed and energized… ready to take on the brand new day – without the pain and stiffness that has been terrorizing you. And imagine finally knowing you have the solution to your herniated disc pain. Well, you may not have to just “imagine” anymore… because… NSSD might start relieving your pain… in just 25 minutes!
