Healthcare News - Westchester

After helping hundreds of Westchester County herniated disc sufferers eliminated their pain, Local Doctor explains how…

“Back Pain Technology Cheats Mother Nature Helps Herniated Discs Heal Naturally… In As Little As 25 Minutes!”

At Last! Westchester County Doctor Offers Technology That Doesn’t Just End SEVERE Pain From Herniated Discs, But Helps Your Body To Start Rebuilding Them… As Fast As Humanly Possible!

Best Part: You can check it all out for FREE if you like!

There is no doubt… technology has made all of our lives better… and easier.

Just about every miraculous medical cure and comfort of modern living can be attributed to amazing breakthroughs in technology.

Heck, laser eye surgery can give people who are almost as blind as a bat perfect 20/20 vision. How amazing is that?

That’s why it’s no surprise that technology might be able to solve your back and neck pain from herniated/bulging discs or sciatica…for good.

Here is why: Back and neck pain can be devastating. And nothing is worse than going to doctor after doctor… trying treatment after treatment… spending money you can’t afford… and still suffering in pain. That’s why…

I bet you would love to instantly end your pain… without any risk what-soever… 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: 3 FDA cleared!

3 Proven safe and effective!

3 Allows your herniated discs to heal naturally without the risky and dangerous side effects of surgery!

3 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 already helps thousands of 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 non-surgical 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. When Barbara answers the phone, simply tell her you would like your free non-surgical spinal decompression consultation and examination. 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 Barbara 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!

So, if you’d like to see if you qualify and give this amazing technology a try for free… give Barbara a call at 914-259-8104 right now. Why wait one more day in pain when the solution may be one quick phone call away? Call now before someone else gets your free spot.

One More Thing It’s Important…

Ever since getting this wonderful technology, Dr. Donath’s office has been flooded with calls. For that reason, if when you call, the lines are busy or you go to voice mail… just keep calling back.

The possibility of living pain-free is well worth the time and effort it may take you to get through and schedule your appointment. 914-259-8104

Avoid these five deadly diet sins You felt the burn big-time during your morning workout and burnt hundreds of calories.

Way to go!

However, after long and busy day at work with nothing to eat, you curl up to dinner at 10 p.m.

That’s what we call a deadly diet sin!

Sometimes, figuring out what you aren’t supposed to eat is harder to keep track of than getting a daily workout.

But we can help you fix them: Just as long as you avoid these dieting sins!

1. Eating too light a breakfast Eating breakfast is a good thing, but the wrong balance of nutrients can leave you prone to overeating later in the day.

Solution: Add an egg, baked beans or cheese to your toast in the morning or add some protein powder to your milk to increase the protein content of your breakfast.

Top Pediatric Dentist in Westchester 5 years and counting!

2. Not enough vegetables at lunchtime Plain sandwiches, sushi and soups tend to be light in protein and vegetables, leaving you looking for something extra after you have finished your lunch.

Solution: Carry a carrot or celery with you to snack on with lunch, or one cup of salad or vegetables.

3. Too much coffee Milk-based coffees sipped over a number of hours are interpreted by the body as constant eating, which can disrupt the body's natural hunger and fullness signals and lead to weight gain.

Solution: Aim for just one or two milk-based coffees a day, and try and drink them with meals. Stick to plain black coffee or green tea in between.

4. Eating dinner too late Busy lifestyles and long commutes are just two of the reasons we are getting home and eating our meals later.

Solution: Eat your larger meal at lunchtime and stick to soups and salads if you find yourself eating after 8pm.

5. Eating too quickly Gone are the days when a leisurely meal was enjoyed over an hour each evening. Eating fast appears to lead to over-consumption as it takes time for the body to register it is full.

Solution: Aim to spend at least 20 minutes sitting down to enjoy your meal. Practice putting your knife and fork down in between each mouthful and chewing each mouthful 20 times.

Let us guess: You want to lose weight in 2015, or maybe stop smoking. Perhaps, you want to save more money.

You see where this is going, right? It’s almost time to make a New Year’s resolution. Sigh.

No worries, you can do it: Statistics be damned. Research suggests that only about 10 percent of us achieve our New Year’s goals.

But stay with us.

Why do so many people fail at goal-setting, and what are the secrets behind those who succeed in keeping their New Year’s resolution?

Here’s a tip: Keep it simple.

Many people use the New Year as an opportunity to make large bucket lists. According to experts we spoke to, that’s a great, but the average person has so many competing priorities that this type of approach is too much. Shooting for the moon can be too daunting and lead to a failure to launch.

So set small, attainable goals.

For instance, a resolution to lose weight might not be easy to follow. Saying no to junk food for a month is…really.

Share your goals with friends and family. It’s a great way to be accountable in the social media era.

So have at it: Set your New Year’s resolution. You can do it. Just remember one thing, no pressure.

Have a happy, healthy 2015!

So get in touch with us or reconnect at info@healthcarenewspaper.com. We are looking forward to another great year in 2015, full of must-read issues. Happy Holidays!

How to help your family beat the winter blues If the change in seasons has left you feeling down in the dumps, our top winter health tips could help you start to feel brighter.

Surround yourself with love. As much as possible, spend your time with people who care for and love you, and stay away from those who bring you down. This is easier said than done, of course, but even cutting down on the time you spend around toxic personalities can help lift your mood.

Eat good food. In between working, stressing, and worrying about your eating habits, it can be easy to justify skipping a few meals, especially breakfast. Give your body the nutrients and energy it needs! Not to mention, a full breakfast in the morning—even one as basic as a bowl of cereal and a piece of fruit—can really make a difference in getting through long mornings at work.

Get in touch with your spirit. Whether that's through prayer, meditation, yoga, find a method of relaxing your mind for a few minutes everyday. Many people have found solace in journaling. Write down one good thing that happened to you everyday, and watch the good memories pile up!

Get outdoors. There's evidence to suggest that the lack of light in winter throws off some people's internal clocks. More light is good.

Pick up a hobby or new skill. Crafts are great because they keep your hands busy and give you a sense of accomplishment when you finish them. YouTube hosts a wealth of basic how-to videos for activities of all kinds.

Exercise. Shed built-up negative energy through a healthy dose of exercise. We know, we know, it's easy to procrastinate when it comes to exercise. But it's also one of the best things you can do for your mental health.

When it comes to taking care of infants, toddlers, children, and families’ healthcare needs, our agency is “at home” throughout Westchester County. We partner with some of the Community’s best physicians and hospitals -- helping our precious patients remain in the comfort and safety of their own homes.

January 16 - B12 shots Feeling tired, weak and a little blue? Stop by Forme Urgent and Wellness Center on January 16th for your free B-12 shot! B-12 is a vital nutrient commonly found in meat, seafood and dairy products. Benefits of B-12 include an increase in metabolism and energy as well a mood booster. In addition to increasing your mood and energy, B-12 helps keep the nerves and cells in your body healthy and strong. As we get older, our ability to absorb B-12 for our bodies decreases and if we aren't eating a balanced diet of meat, seafood and dairy, our B-12 levels can be relatively low. A B-12 shot is just what the doctor ordered to help keep your energy and cell levels up and healthy!

January 23 - Free Blood Pressure & Glucose Testing How often do you and your family have your blood pressure checked professionally? Once a year at your annual checkup is usually the answer. However, one-third of the population has high blood pressure, but millions don’t know it!

Smoking, weight gain, stress, genetics, changes in diet and alcohol consumption are all factors contributing to high blood pressure. A healthy level can lower risk of stroke, heart disease and kidney disease. Also, eighty million Americans are living with diabetes and don’t know it! As sugar builds up in your body, it scrapes away at the walls of your arteries, leaving them severely weakened.

Stop by Forme Urgent Care and Wellness Center on January 23rd to receive an accurate diagnosis of your blood pressure and glucose level. Our highly trained professionals will educate you on what is normal for your body type and how to control your blood pressure and glucose levels.

The Importance of Elder Law: You must protect your assets, family and future now!

For nearly 30 years, practicing law has been Ely Rosenzveig’s passion.

His inspiration?

That comes from, among other things, his life experiences, the people he has met, and the clients he works with every day.

The widow who didn’t have a will and was concerned about her financial future.

The family that was reeling from health issues impacting their elderly loved ones without any planning in place to address their needs, leaving them with the prospect of exorbitantly expensive care needs.

Ely Rosenzveig was a rabbi in Westchester County. The plight of some in his congregation moved him to practice elder law and trust and estate planning. He would become a senior partner at one of the foremost elder law firms in the country, but left to join hands with his son, Ariel.

“I really jumped at the opportunity to work in this area of law,” Ely Rosenzveig said. “I think it’s special kind of work. To help people and work with your son is incredibly rewarding. Ariel is a great asset – a wonderful and gifted young attorney.”

The law firm of Ely J. Rosenzveig & Associates, P.C. in White Plains 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, spousal recovery claims, and Medicaid lien resolutions.

Father and son pride themselves on an unyielding commitment to the zealous 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.

Appropriate estate and Medicaid planning can help preserve assets, reduce taxes, and help individuals qualify for Medicaid.

“People don’t want to talk about illness and death,” Ariel Rosenzveig said. “It’s a tough subject. People are reluctant, but the type of measures that we implement for our clients can save them and their loved ones a lot of money. Proper planning will help provide financial and emotional security for all involved.”

The firm is very experienced in making sure that those eligible for Medicaid and Medicare get the benefits they deserve.

Ely J. Rosenzveig & Associates, P.C. has been very successful in negotiating the complex bureaucratic minefield in which Medicaid is now mired, a dynamic only exacerbated with the passage of the Deficit reduction Act of 2006, and the new rules regarding the look-back requirements, and penalty period calculations for non-Medicaid exempt asset transfers.

The firm has achieved remarkable 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 the non-institutionalized (i.e., or “community”) spouse for Medicaid benefits provided.

No matter what the case, Ely J. Rosenzveig & Associates, P.C. prides itself on working with each client individually, catering to each one’s diverse needs.

Estate planning should begin at a young age with a will, health care proxy, living

will and durable power of attorney. As you grow older and accumulate assets, it is especially important that you speak with an experience elder law attorney issues pertaining to issues concerning Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and further estate planning.

Elder law is about more than just saving money. When viewed properly, elder law is about two major things: First, ensuring that your personal wishes — financial, medical, and legal — are carried out; and second, understanding that elder law is a family matter affecting an intricate web of individual relationships.

Knowing that your potential long-term care needs have already been addressed frees you and your family from needless worry.

And Ely and Ariel Rosenzveig are there to help their cherished clients every step of the way.

“We want every client to feel like they are our only client,” Ely Rosenzveig said.

“We are totally committed to ensuring that we be fully responsive to our clients’ every need. For us, this is tremendously rewarding. It is the very reason why we have become elder law attorneys.”

You want to lose 50 pounds, you want to quit smoking cold turkey, you want to pay off all of your massive debt.

Sound familiar?

These are common New Year’s resolutions and good for you for setting goals in an effort to better your life. Our advice is: Go for it! Just slow down.

It can be daunting when your list of New Year’s Resolutions is as long as your holiday shopping list. It is important to remember that the New Year isn’t meant to serve as a catalyst for sweeping character changes.

It is a time for people to reflect on their past year’s behavior and promise to make positive lifestyle changes. Setting small, attainable goals throughout the year, instead of a singular, overwhelming goal on January 1 can help you reach whatever it is you strive for.

By making your resolutions realistic, there is a greater chance that you will keep them throughout the year, incorporating healthy behavior into your everyday life. Here are some tips on making and KEEPING your New Year’s resolution.

Making your

Change one behavior at a time Make resolutions that you think you can keep.

If, for example, your aim is to exercise more frequently, schedule three or four days a week at the gym instead of seven. If you would like to eat healthier, try replacing dessert with something else you enjoy, like fruit or yogurt, instead of seeing your diet as a form of punishment.

New Year’s resolution

stick

Talk about it Share your experiences with family and friends. Consider joining a support group to reach your goals, such as a workout class at your gym or a group of coworkers quitting smoking. Having someone to share your struggles and successes with makes your journey to a healthier lifestyle that much easier and less intimidating.

Don’t beat yourself up Perfection is unattainable. Remember that minor missteps when reaching your goals are completely normal and OK. Don’t give up completely because you ate a brownie and broke your diet, or skipped the gym for a week because you were busy. Everyone has ups and downs; resolve to recover from your mistakes and get back on track.

Ask for support Accepting help from those who care about you and will listen strengthens your resilience and ability to manage stress caused by your resolution. If you feel overwhelmed or unable to meet your goals on your own, consider seeking professional help.

Psychologists are uniquely trained to understand the connection between the mind and body.

Keep Calm 8 ways to de-stress Stress is often seen as a negative effect on the body, but it is very essential to life. It is the “fight or flight” system that is naturally part of our survival system. Stress is bad when it overwhelmingly impacts our health equilibrium. Everyone deals with stress, in one way or another. It is associated with higher levels of cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. Accumulated unmanaged stress can lead to major physical and psychological illness, including depression, overeating, excessive sleep, and irritability. While it is impossible to avoid stress completely, it is possible to manage your stress.

Here are a few ways: 1. Get a massage.

Massage has been shown to be effective in reducing mental and physical stress. In one study in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, massage helped lessen stress and pain in patients who have chronic pain. Another study in the Australian Journal of Advanced Nursing suggested that 15 minute massages helped reduce the psychological stress of their test subjects. Massage lowers the level of cortisol and increases the levels of serotonin and dopamine.

2. Yoga.

Yoga is an excellent weight and stress management tool. It helps your balance, flexibility, and strengthens your core. Studies have shown that yoga is promising in reducing anxiety and stress in people who practice yoga.

While yoga should not completely replace pharmacological medication to help with anxiety and stress, it is highly recommended to supplement

pharmacological medicine with yoga.

Yoga originated in India and has been around for more than 5,000 years. It also helps with bronchitis, chronic pain, and some symptoms of menopause.

3. Enjoy a hot bath.

A hot bath can help relieve the tension on your muscles, lessen the pain on your body, and it provides a comfortable environment that surrounds your body. It also promotes blood circulation and calms the nervous system.

Water can be infused with minerals and other products such as Dead Sea salt or oil for an aroma and soothing feeling.

4. Stress relief with a pet.

Studies have shown that pet therapy helps reduce anxiety and stress for many people. One study showed that it helped students during exam times. Another study showed that patients experienced a 37% deduction in anxiety if they spend time with animals before their medical operations. Having an animal around distracts them from their worries. .

5. Aromatherapy.

Certain plant oils have been found to relieve nervous tension or anxiety. The scents of certain plants, such as lavender, can ease our stress and relax us.

These scents can create a mood for us and some may even bring us memories or thoughts associated with the smell.

Aromatherapy is often used with massages, meditations, and hot baths. It is a wonderful calming experience for those who have tried it.

6. Drink tea.

Green tea lowers your blood pressure and is full of antioxidants that is beneficial for your health. In one study, black tea helped lower cortisol and reduced stress after six weeks of drinking tea more so than subjects who were drinking placebo drinks.

7. Get proper sleep.

A study in children showed that disruptive sleep shows a higher level of cortisol. By having a restful and high quality sleep and undisruptive naps, one’s cortisol levels will decrease. Another study tested on healthy young men has shown that taking proper naps throughout the day will lower one’s cortisol levels.

8. Listen to music.

Certain music gets people in certain moods or thoughts. A study has shown that patients in post surgery who listened to music had lower stress levels than those who did not listen to music.

Another study also shows that people from different cultural backgrounds prefered different types of music for pain and stress relief.

A Solution to a Growing Problem For Seniors When seniors and business owners own a life or Key-Man Insurance, they’re essentially sitting on untapped funds. Through a life settlement, Advanced Loan or 1035 Exchange transaction they have the ability to harness the power of their life insurance.

These options are not known to many, in tapping into funds to pay for:

Advanced Benefit Loan versus Mortgage Loan: As people look to finally settle down and enjoy the fruits of their labor, it is estimated that 75 million people will look to retire over the next twenty plus years. This calculates to an average of 10,000 people a day as they reach the age of 65. These numbers have many businesses reaching out to this particular demographic in the fields on medicine, travel, finance, and home development.

• In-home and Long Term Care • Grandchildren College Education • Family trust establishment • Paying off mortgage and business loans • Recapitalization of a businees • And Other Essential Services

Home developers have started to market their new home developments in an effort to reach out to this growing community. These new developments look to cater to residents, who are 62+ years, in small towns in the tri state are. These new developments have all the amenities of a self-contained community, such as restaurants, marinas, yacht clubs, shopping and access to mass transit to travel in and out of New York City.

With the construction of all these new communities and all of its luxuries, these developments come with a high price tag. For some retirees, the price is too exuberant and taking out a mortgage is not desirable. Most retirees just want to enjoy their new home and not work on paying a 30 year mortgage. This is where an Advanced Benefit Loan can help.

Taking an advanced benefit loan against their life insurance, they will not have to take a mortgage to pay for their new home. The loan is collateralized against their life insurance. When the life insurance contract matures, the loan is paid by the life insurance proceeds; anything left will be inherited by their heirs.

Why do this??

1. No payment of income tax, this is a loan against your life insurance.

2. No home mortgage loan, you will own your home out right.

3. No credit checks or credit approval by banks.

This loan program is designed to assist seniors in accessing cash from their existing life insurance policy with no income requirements, no future premium obligations, and no out-of-pocket expenses.

In order to qualify, a senior must have in-force a life insurance policy. A senior will never be rejected due to lack of income, poor credit history, or previous bankruptcy.

If you would like to apply or have questions, call us today, we can speak with you to access your financial need, review your life insurance policy and determine your eligibility. If you are eligible, you will be asked to complete a loan application and provide requested documentation. Once we complete our review of your policy, we will notify you of approval and the amount of the loan.

Why some Long-Term Care insurance is better than none at all

By Andrew J. Cavaliere, CLTC

Many people view Long-Term Care insurance (LTCi) as an all or nothing proposition. That is to say, they either want to buy the “Cadillac” plan or nothing at all. They may feel this way because they want to be “100% completely” protected in the event of a catastrophic claim or rationalize not be protected at all. When in truth, almost all policies will be able to cover most of the expenses but there is almost always some small degree of self-insurance. Whether it is paying for care during the elimination period or additionally needing to fund an expensive necessary daily benefit.

Everyone agrees that some LTCi coverage is better than none, because for most families, funding long-term care expenses dollar for dollar is the equivalent of financial suicide.

Take this scenario for example. You need to buy a new car. You go to your favorite dealer to look at some alternatives.

There are two cars available to take home that day. One has all the latest gadgets, bells and whistles that you like, but can’t afford. The other one is a very reliable but more basic model that fits into your budget easily. Do you purchase the basic car and drive it off the lot that day, or do you leave the dealership empty-handed, thinking that someday you’ll be able to afford the Cadillac? Given that your current car may leave you stranded at any moment, the basic model is the obvious choice.

The same decision-making process can be used when purchasing LTCi. So many of us are accustomed to LTCi policies with all the bells and whistles that we forget to tailor them to fit the needs of each individual. Don’t go without the necessary protection just because you can’t afford a “Cadillac” product design. As long as you have a basic LTCi policy you and their loved ones will be better protected.

Here are some easy, but effective ways to create economical policy designs to fit your families’ needs while still providing sound protection: 1. Reduce the Daily Benefit If you have available excess income that can be counted on over the years, then use this excess to subsidize the LTCi policy. Reduce the daily benefit and make up for the balance with the available income.

2. Increase the Elimination Period If you have enough savings to pay for a time period of care, then increase the elimination period to accommodate that period. 90 days is often the elimination period selected, but why not extend that to six months or even a year?

3. Consumer Price Index (CPI) Inflation Protection instead of Compound Inflation You can save 20-40% in premium by purchasing CPI Inflation Protection instead of compound inflation protection.

With CPI, unlimited annual benefit increases are added based on the CPI for housing and labor costs.

4. Reduce the Benefit Period Claims statistics show that 2 ½ years is the average claim length. In fact, the American Association for Long Term Care insurance surveyed insurers and found that 92% of buyers with three-year benefit periods who eventually file a claim do not exhaust their benefits. So design a policy with a shorter benefit period and you will still have meaningful protection.

5. Shared Care Rider If you are married and are worried about long term illnesses like dementia, then one way to get greater coverage without purchasing a longer benefit period is to purchase shared care. That way, spouses who use up all of their benefits can tap into their spouse’s unused benefit.

If you are battling a case of the sniffles, it might be because your diet is leaving you vulnerable for nasty colds.

There might not be strong evidence that links one particular food to cough and cold prevention, but a number of foods are crucial for optimal immune system functioning. Think vitamin C, right?

Wrong.

Intake of vitamin C is important for immune functioning, but so is zinc.

Few people have a low intake of vitamin C, but many more have a low intake of zinc, particularly women and children. Zinc is found predominantly in lean red meat and seafood, and in smaller amounts in wholegrain bread, nuts and fortified breakfast cereals.

Zinc is involved in the development and functioning of the body's infection-fighting white blood cells. Adults need eight to 12 milligrams of zinc a day, half of which is found in a palm-sized piece of lean red meat, and almost all in a single oyster. Once your zinc is taken care of, then you can concentrate on your fresh fruit and vegetables, which are rich sources of a number of powerful antioxidants, including vitamin C, that help to protect the body's cells against damage and infection.

Keep in mind that the brighter the vegetables and fruits are, the better they are likely to be for you. Beetroot, sweet potato, broccoli, oranges, red capsicum and pumpkin are all chock-full of nutrition and can either be juiced, thrown into stir-fries, or baked and served with warming casseroles and soups.

And don't forget to keep your fluid intake up. Dehydration can not only make cough and flu symptoms much worse, but it is not good for your digestion in general. If you find that you are drinking much less water in winter, switch to green tea, which is packed with antioxidants and has also been shown to increase metabolic rate if three or more cups are consumed every day. Warm water served with a slice of lemon is also a great fluid choice.

The second Doctors Express urgent care walk-in clinic in New York opened along with Target, Applebee’s and other other retail giants at the new Throgs Neck Shopping Center at 843 Hutchinson River Parkway in the Bronx, a stone’s throw from the Whitestone Bridge.

The Bronx urgent care center will be open 7 days a week, and will offer extended hours to best serve the shopping center’s patrons and surrounding community: weekdays from 8am to 10pm and weekends from 8am-8pm.

With a staff of board certified Physicians, Physician Assistants and APRN’s, x-ray technologists, and medical assistants, the urgent care center will employ between 15-20 full and part-time local employees.

“The Bronx made sense to us as our next urgent care center for many reasons, not the least of which is because I am from this area, grew up here and I raised my family here. The Bronx is my hometown- as a matter of fact, I remember the fires of 1977 that nearly destroyed it, so it is a dream come true to now, 37 years later , be able to bring these vital services to my hometown.” said Dr. Michael Tugetman, medical director and co-owner of the center.

Tugetman stressed that “this section of the Bronx is lacking an urgent care center that caters exclusively to walk in traffic. At Doctors Express we are purely Urgent Care. We do not take appointments, and every patient walking through our doors is given high priority. Our objective is to offer, fast, efficient and affordable care and to have patients treated and out the door in less than one hour.

Also we have a Spanish speaking staff member on duty at all times.”

“The intent of the facility is not to compete with area hospitals or primary care physicians, but to complement their services and make convenient care easily accessible to the Throgs Neck section of the Bronx and all the surrounding communities.”

Additionally, the center makes a great effort to reach out to the community with health related preventative and educational videos called the Doctors Express Medical Minute, as well as through social media, specifically their Facebook page, Twitter and Google +.

Dan Purugganan, managing partner added: “Not only will Doctors Express Bronx help reduce the burden of overworked emergency departments, but it will cut down the wait time for patients with non-life threatening emergencies.

In addition, being within a high trafficshopping plaza with easy, free and convenient parking makes immediate medical care more accessible than ever. ” Just like its sister facility in Hartsdale NY, the state of the art walk-in clinic has its own on-site laboratory and digital x-ray equipment, enabling doctors to diagnose and treat illnesses, and apply splints, all under one roof.

Additional services include all typical urgent care services, such as treating flu, upper respiratory infections, urinary tract infections and concussions, plus pre-employment exams, drug testing, breath alcohol tests, sports and school physicals, DOT physicals, presurgical physicals and vaccinations, including travel vaccinations.

Doctors Express Bronx accepts most insurance’s including Medicaid and Medicare, as well as many of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) insurance plans, cash and credit card rates for self-pay patients.

Caregiver Conference took place November 6 in Dobbs Ferry Event included free consultations with attorneys and geriatric social workers “The Journey of Caregiving” – a conference that addressed the emotional and physical challenges that caregivers face in caring for loved ones of all ages – took place November 6 at Dobbs Ferry High School in Dobbs Ferry.

“Caregivers face enormous responsibilities,” said Westchester County Executive Robert P. Astorino. “It is demanding work, but certainly rewarding. I want all caregivers to know that they are not alone in this journey, and that the county has various programs and events such as this conference to help support them along the way.”

The guest speaker was the Rev. Viviana DeCohen, a hands-on expert in caregiving with a spiritual bent who has worked in various areas of health, home care and senior services for more than 20 years.

Participants also had access to free, one-onone consultations with elder law attorneys, geriatric social workers and geriatric care managers. In addition, participants learned about a new technology application to help them manage stress.

Westchester’s new Telehealth Intervention Programs for Seniors (TIPS) was also featured.

Through TIPS, seniors had their vital signs monitored – including blood pressure, pulse, blood oxygen level and weight – and were also checked to make sure they are receiving all of the social services for which they may be eligible.

Separately throughout the year, Westchester County offers two caregiver programs as part of its award-winning Livable Communities initiative. One is the “Caregiver Coaching” program, where volunteers are trained to provide one-on-one support to assist caregivers in making more informed decisions.

The other is “Care Circles of Westchester: Step Forward and Give Back” where a group of volunteers all pitch in to assist an individual with the basic needs of daily living that cannot be met with public funds. These needs could include walking the dog or simply providing companionship. Both programs were discussed at the conference.

For more information, visit www.westchestergov.com/seniors.

Conference sponsors were the Westchester County Department of Senior Programs and Services, the Westchester Public/Private Partnership for Aging Services, the Livable Communities Caregiver Collaborative and the Dobbs Ferry Public Library. Phelps Memorial Hospital Center was a co-sponsor.

What do doctors do to treat their own pain?

As a board-certified internist who has been in practice for over 13 years, I spend much of my time attempting to alleviate the pain and suffering of my patients. As a clinician, one of the biggest challenges I face is helping my patients deal with musculoskeletal and neuropathic pain syndromes—those all-too-common, yet frequently debilitating ailments caused by bad backs, pinched nerves, arthritis, and the like. Unfortunately, much of what I have to offer my patients boils down to the following: take a pain pill, stretch if you can, wait, and hope for the best. After a failed trial of “conservative” therapy a call might go out to the orthopedic surgeon for assistance; a truly satisfactory result is not common. The simple fact is that physicians are not well trained to deal with musculoskeletal pain, and patients can suffer as a result.

Thankfully, my views on this topic have been turned completely upside down since I havepersonally discovered Dr. Jonathan Donath’s outstanding practice. After beginning a vigorous exercise regimen I started to experience awful neck and upper back pain, accompanied by numbness and tingling down my left arm and fingers. For weeks I tried to nurse the pain with non steroidal anti-inflammatory medication, but the pain persisted and got to the point that I was almost unable to work, sleep, or most importantly, play guitar. I wasliterally in tears from the excruciating pain. A neurosurgeon diagnosed a herniated disc and pinched nerve in my neck and offered to decompress it with an operation. In desperation I called Dr. Donath instead.

My visit to Dr. Donath’s office was an outstanding experience. He spent about an hour with me and combined multiple modalities to fix the herniated disc in my neck: deep massage, active release techniques, traditional manipulation, cold therapy, and finally spinal decompression. After that first hour with Dr. Donath my pain had decreased from a 10/10 down to a manageable 4/10, and I was able to comfortably move my head and neck. That very night I was able to play guitar again. Two days later I went back for another series of treatments and the pain decreased even further. After about five days the pain was absolutely gone. Unbelievable! Since then he has used the same wonderful techniques to help me overcome painful bouts of sciatica as well.

My own patients and family members have become “believers” in Dr. Donath’s abilities as well--- the results he achieves are real and lasting. He is my go to guy for the majority of musculoskeletal and neuropathic pain syndromes that I now realize are truly treatable.

Dr. Robert Sidlow MD, Associate Professor of Medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine

I am a pediatrician and in my work, I have to bend down a lot and I’m constantly lifting kids. I usually have one to three bad flare ups of low back pain every year. When my back would "go out", I could barely walk to the bathroom and would have to lie down in bed for a few days. I have tried everything: doing nothing and "toughing it out", muscle relaxants, physical therapy, chiropractic, therapeutic massage, and even painful steroid injections. Nothing worked.

When I moved to Westchester, I met Dr. Jonathan Donath. In just a couple of sessions with Dr. Donath, the pain completely disappeared.

If it hadn't happened to me, I wouldn't have believed it. During my last flare up, I was expecting to be on my back for 2-3 days and in pain for 2 weeks. Instead, after one session with Dr. Donath, I was able to walk; two more sessions and I was fine. I could walk, bend down and I had almost no pain. Since that last back episode, Dr. Donath has helped me with my tendonitis in my right hand and with my chronic knee problems. I recommend Dr. Donath to everyone with back, muscle or joint pain. Even if you have not had relief with other treatments and other Chiropractors, give Dr. Donath a chance. I did and he changed my life.

Eugene Dinkevich MD, Mount Vernon, NY It’s my great pleasure to write about Westchester Spinal Decompression Center. I really don’t have words to express my feelings about the care I got in last 3 months. I was almost handicapped, living with terrible pain all the time, crippling my day to day life. I am a medical doctor and work in a hospital with all sorts of amazing physicians, but after seeing a physical therapist, getting epidural steroids injections, many orthopedists and neurosurgeons, finally my destination lead me to see Dr Jonathan Donath. With great skepticism, I lied down for spinal decompression therapy. It was unbelievable that after only two initial sessions, my radiating pain down my leg had almost disappeared. Gradually, I started getting better, started doing exercises that they gave me midway through the treatment. Now, I am doing all my daily activities without any pain.

I highly recommend Dr Jonathan and his colleague Dr Kavita for any problems related to the musculoskeletal system, you will definitely feel at home and will get better.
