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

Foods that fight cancer Want to eat your way to cancer prevention?

Eating the right foods can help.

Experts at the American Institute for Cancer Research estimate about one-third of the 1.4 million cancers that occur every year in the United States could be prevented, in part, by making healthier food choices.

Take a look at some of the best foods to eat in order to prevent cancer:

Whole grains guard cells from damage: Grocery store shelves are filled with grains and grain products. But not all grains are cancer-fighting foods. Only whole grains curb cancer risk.

That’s because whole grains are loaded with fiber, vitamins, minerals and natural plant compounds. Added bonus: the fiber found in whole grains helps you stay full longer, maintain a healthy weight, and keep your cholesterol and blood sugar at normal levels.

Top Pediatric Dentist in Westchester 5 years and counting!

Very berry protection against skin cancer: Berries are a wonderful source of Vitamin C. Most berries also contain antioxidants. These antioxidants protect the body from cell damage that could lead to skin cancer, as well as cancers of the bladder, lung, breast and esophagus (the tube where food travels from the throat to the stomach).

Grapes help fight breast cancer: Grapes are a rich source of the antioxidant resveratrol. Studies show that resveratrol has the potential to possibly stop cancer from starting in the breast, as well as in the liver, stomach and lymphatic system. The grape’s skin has the most resveratrol, so leave the skin intact.

Red and purple grapes have significantly more resveratrol than green grapes.

Broccoli beats stomach cancer: These mighty greens are in the cruciferous vegetable family, along with cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts, bok choy and kale. Studies show that broccoli and its family members have special plant compounds that may protect the body from stomach cancer, as well as cancers of the mouth, pharynx, larynx and esophagus.

Tomatoes topple prostate cancer: The tomato gets its classic red hue from an antioxidant called lycopene. Studies show that lycopene has the potential to fight prostate cancer. The evidence is even stronger for processed tomato products, such as tomato sauce and even ketchup. Processing the tomato ups its cancer-fighting power because it releases the lycopene so it can be more easily absorbed by the body.

Soon, the skies will seem bluer, the grass begins to grow again, and the flowers bloom, bursting open with color and fresh life. The trees begin to bud and the birds and animals are very active. The whole world seems to wake up from the long winter’s nap.

Sure, we have a little more time until spring will have finally sprung.

But we have definitely turned a corner: How do we know?

You are reading the April edition of Healthcare News which is insightful and entertaining. And get this: We even have a story on spring cleaning tips.

Of course, this issue is chock full of many other interesting stories.

It’s been a long winter (to say the least), but soon the sun’s warm rays will invite us to be outside. The flowers will bloom and tweeting will refer not only to finding something funny to say in 140 characters or less, but the birds chiming outside. The grass will be green and ready to be mowed. Sigh.

But, hey, mowing the lawn is a better alternative than all that shoveling you did this winter. The cold, grey days are (mostly) behind us. We all might not be convinced that we won’t still see a snowstorm before winter truly says farewell, but spring is almost here.

We hope you use spring’s arrival as an opportunity to use all of our senses to savor this beautiful season in Westchester County. That is one of the many things that makes Westchester County special.

If you're suffering from nerve problems in the arms and legs, you must read about a clinical study that showed

How 85% of Patients Eliminated Numbness, Tingling, or Sharp Pains Numbness, tingling, and pain are extremely annoying problems.

It may come and go...interrupts your sleep...and even makes your arm or legs feel weak at times.

Maybe you've even been to other doctors and they claim all the tests indicate you should feel fine.

If You Read Nothing Else, Read This: More than 20 million Americans suffer from peripheral neuropathy, a problem caused by damage to the nerves that supply your arms and legs.

This painful condition interferes with your body's ability to transmit messages to your muscles, skin, joints, or internal organs.

If ignored or mistreated, neuropathy can lead to irreversible health conditions.

Why not get help by those trained to correct the major cause of peripheral neuropathy.

Read the full facts on this page.

More Pills Are Not the Solution A common treatment for many nerve problems is the 'take some pills and wait and see' method.

While this may be necessary for temporary relief of severe symptoms, using them long term is no way to live. Some of the more common drugs given include pain pills, anti-seizure mediations, and anti-depressants -- all of which have serious side effects.

The Likely Cause of Your Problem My name is Dr. Alex Hilario, clinic director at Chiropractic Rehabilitation Source. I've been helping people with neuropathy and nerve problems for more than 10 years.

Often neuropathy is caused by a degenerating spine pressing on the nerve roots. This can happen in any of the vertebral joints from the neck all the way down to the tail bone.

The good news is that chiropractic treatments have proven effective in helping to remove the pressure on the nerves.

By using gentle techniques, I'm able to release the pressure that has built up on the nerve. This allows the nerve to heal and the symptoms to go away.

For example, numerous studies have proven chiropractic's effectiveness in helping nerve conditions.

Patients showed an 85.5% resolution of the nerve symptoms after only 9 chiropractic treatments.

- Journal of Chiropractic Medicine 2008 With chiropractic care, patients had “significant improvement in perceived comfort and function, nerve conduction and finger sensation overall.”

– JMPT 1998 “Significant increase in grip strength and normalization of motor and sensory latencies were noted. Orthopedic tests were negative.

Symptoms dissipated.” – JMPT 1994 What these studies mean is that you could soon be enjoying life...without those aggravating nerve problems.

Could This Be Your Solution?

It’s time for you to find out if chiropractic will be your neuropathy solution.

• An in-depth consultation about your health and well-being where I will listen…really listen…to the details of your case.

• A complete neuromuscular examination.

• A thorough analysis of your exam and x-ray findings so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain free.

• I'll answer your most probing questions about nerve problems and how chiropractic can help.

Until May 10, 2015 you can get everything I’ve listed here for only $47. The normal price for this type of evaluation is $250, so you’re saving a considerable amount by taking me up on this offer. Call 914-584-6864 now.

We can get you scheduled for your consultation, and exam as soon as there’s an opening.

Our office is located in the heart of White Plains near Starbucks, Galleria Mall and Wal-Mart, when you call, tell the receptionist you’d like to come in for the Nerve Evaluation so she can get you on the schedule and make sure you receive proper credit for this special offer.

Sincerely, Alex Hilario, D.C. P.S. Remember, you only have until May 10 to reserve an appointment at this significant discount. Why suffer for years in misery?

That’s no way to live, not when there could be an easy solution to your problem.

For 14 days only, $30 will get you all the services I normally charge new patients $250 for!

P.P.S. Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because your arms or legs hurt – and the pain just won’t go away!

What does this offer include? Everything.

Take a look at what you will receive:

Take me up on my offer and call today 914-584-6864.

Could sitting too much increase your risk of cancer?

A recent study found that people who spend a lot of time sitting have an increased risk of developing certain types of cancer. We know that lack of activity can lead to obesity and that obesity is a risk factor for certain types of cancer. That is why we always tell our patients how important it is to stay active.

The study analyzed data from 43 previous studies. Together, they included nearly 70,000 cancer patients. According to the findings, people who spent a lot of time sitting had a much greater risk of developing lung, colon or endometrial cancer.

Some people think it’s OK to sit all day if they are going to work out for an hour-and-a-half when they get home. But working out does not negate the fact that they just sat for nine hours.

Periods of inactivity will still put you at risk. What you do throughout your entire day will impact your health.

It’s time to re-think how we orient our work day so we can get in at least five minutes of activity every hour without decreasing productivity.

For example, my secretary sits about 100 feet from me, so instead of sending an e-mail or picking up the phone when I need something, I walk out to her desk and talk to her.

There are lots of other little things you can do pretty easily that won’t impose on your work day. Here are a few more examples: • Take a break every hour and walk down the hall for a glass of water.

• Stand while talking on the phone.

• Instead of taking 30 minutes to run errands to a bunch of different people at work, run one errand each hour.

While the findings in this study are significant, keep in mind that these types of studies aren’t perfect. They rely on people to recall and report how often they are active, so there are some biases in terms of what people remember and what they will admit to.

Are you planning a cleanse or detox?

Read this first You hear a lot about the supposed health benefits of a cleanse or detox, designed to eliminate toxins from your body. There are many claims about various detox regimens, which could be in the form of a fast, diet, drink or powder.

Removing toxins has questionable benefits, including: Improved energy Weight loss Relief from constipation Resolved headaches, muscle aches and fatigue How do they work?

The theory behind cleanses is that, by eliminating solid foods or specific food groups, you are eliminating toxins. That supposedly gives your digestive system a break, allowing it to heal and better absorb nutrients in the future.

Solid foods are often replaced with drinks such as water with lemon, maple syrup and cayenne pepper; green tea; or freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices. Cleanses can last from a day to a month.

What are the pros and cons of detoxing?

Before you decide to cleanse and spend big bucks on a magic drink or pounds of freshly juiced fruits and vegetables, be sure to weigh the benefits and drawbacks.

If YOU ExPERIENCE: • A dull ache, burning or heaviness in the legs • Swelling of the feet, ankles, calves or legs • Itching, dry, stretched or scaling skin • Sores, bleeding and/or bruising after a minor injury You may be a candidate for insurance paid treatment.

87% of people with varicose veins do not seek treatment.

But, varicose veins are not just unattractive and painful.

Varicose veins also can be dangerous! These superficial veins are where you develop phlebitis (superficial clot and inflammation). Phlebitis increases the chance of associated deep vein thrombosis, and this increases the risk of pulmonary emboli — life-threatening blood clots IN-OFFICE PROCEDURES • MINIMAL DOWNTIME • LATEST LASER TECHNOLOGY VARICOSE VEIN TREATMENT IS COVERED BY MEDICARE/MEDICAID AND MOST PRIVATE PLANS

Pros: You’ll benefit from increased intake of vitamins and minerals either naturally from juice, fruits, vegetables supplemented from drinks It can help identify food sensitivities by eliminating certain foods for several days, then gradually reintroducing potential trigger foods Cons: These diets are low in calories, which will leave you with little energy to exercise and may disrupt your metabolic rate and blood glucose levels Possible gastrointestinal distress and frequent bowel movements Detox diets are low in protein Whatever you decide, remember that your body is meant to detox itself. A balanced diet of whole foods such as vegetables, fruit, whole grains and legumes is healthy for your entire body and won’t interfere with your ability to exercise. If you choose to detox, make sure to do your research, and check with your doctor.

Carbon Monoxide kills Health and Safety Tips from Westchester Medical Center Each year when we change our clocks to Daylight Savings Time, New Yorkers are encouraged to also take the time to change the batteries in their smoke detectors.

In addition to your clocks and smoke detectors, you should also check and change the batteries in your CO detector.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, each year in the United States hundreds of people are killed as a result of non-fire related Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning associated with consumer products. It is the most common type of fatal poisoning in the United States. In addition, tens of thousands more will be treated in emergency departments as a result of accidental CO poisoning.

CO is a commercially important chemical that is formed in many chemical reactions. However it is also deadly and is often referred to as the “silent killer.”

It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, highly toxic gas produced by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels - gas, oil, coal, wood and other petroleum products used in boilers, engines, oil burners, gas fires, water heaters, solid fuel appliances and open fires.

CO is also formed as a result of the decomposition of many organic materials.

Dangerous levels of CO can accumulate when, as a result of poor installation, poor maintenance, failure or damage to an appliance in service, the fuel is not burned properly or when rooms are poorly ventilated and the Carbon Monoxide is unable to escape.

Carbon Monoxide can produce a wide range of physiological effects on people exposed to con-

centrations as low as 50 parts per million,” said Dr. Kausik Kar, M.D., Medical Director of The Hyperbaric Unit at Westchester Medical Center. “Symptoms may range from mild headaches and dizziness to more serious symptoms including nausea, lethargy and even convulsions.” Unfortunately many times the more mild symptoms are often attributed to illnesses such as the flu and left untreated, resulting in the more serious complications and even death. “If you believe you have a CO leak in your home or that you are suffering from the effects of CO poisoning, leave your home immediately and call 911,” adds Dr. Kar. In addition people with heart or respiratory problems as well as infants, small children, unborn children and their expectant mothers are at an increased risk for suffering from the affects of CO poisoning at a much quicker rate than others in the household and they may be the first to show symptoms.

Carbon Monoxide enters the lungs via the normal breathing mechanism and displaces oxygen from the bloodstream, interrupting the normal supply of oxygen in the blood which puts the functions of the heart, brain and other vital organs of the body at risk.

While a CO detector may help to alert you to the presence of elevated CO levels in your home it is just as important to make sure that plumbing, heating and other gas powered equipment in your home is properly maintained and serviced regularly by a licensed professional. CO detectors are available locally in many different stores and can be installed in just a few minutes using only small hand tools.

Change your clocks, change your batteries, save your life.

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.”

Burke Rehabilitation Center Celebrates Winners of the 4th Annual Brain Bee Competition Westchester County high school students gathered for a chance to test their knowledge of the brain and nervous system On February 11, Burke Rehabilitation Center hosted the 4th Annual Brain Bee Competition for local Westchester County high school students. Burke holds this event every year as a way to inspire budding scientists to pursue careers in neurological research.

The Brain Bee is just one of many events Burke has planned to commemorate its centennial anniversary this year. Westchester County residents will be invited to the Burke campus throughout the year for various events to celebrate 100 years in rehabilitation research and excellence.

“We are very proud of the students who participated in this year’s Brain Bee competition.

The event is a great opportunity for young people to test their knowledge of neurology and we hope it inspires them to build on what they are learning in school and pursue careers in the field,” said Janet Goodman, LMSW, case manager for Burke’s Brain Injury Program and coordinator for the Brain Bee in Westchester.

Brain Bee Winners

The competition is presented in a question-and-answer style format designed to challenge students on their knowledge of neuroscience and the inner-workings of the brain. At the event, Burke physical and occupational therapists read students the questions in 10 rounds with 10 questions each.

Justin Hill, M.D., spoke with students about his role at Burke.

As director of the brain injury program at Burke Rehabilitation Hospital, Hill leads a team of nurses, therapists and other specialists in treating various forms of brain trauma from brain tumors to skull fractures and hemorrhages. Students were given the opportunity to ask questions and gain invaluable insight into the life of a real neurologist.

Alice Xue of Pelham Memorial High School in Pelham, NY, Meenu Johnkutty of Academy of Our Lady of Good Counsel in White Plains, NY and Emily Xue of Pelham Memorial High School in Pelham, NY walked away from the competition with

first, second and third place finishes respectively. The students were awarded scholarships of $500, $300 and $200. The Brain Bee winner will take part in the national competition held in March, where she will compete against other regional winners from across the United States.

Henri Wang of Rye Neck, Harshal Shet of Archbishop Sepinac High School, Amanda Sati of Good Counsel Academy and Megan Bartley of Fox Lane High School all proved to be stiff competition in this year’s contest.

Burke’s centennial events continue after the Brain Bee with a monthly lecture series on the first Monday of every month at 4 p.m. at the Centennial Lobby Exhibit in the Wood Pavilion and on May 3, Burke will host the annual Heels and Wheels 5K race on campus.

Elder and Adult Family Mediation: A Solution for Family Conflict I met a neighbor of mine the other day who told me about the problem she is having with her sisters. Her mother is quite elderly and still living alone in her large home. My neighbor feels that this living arrangement is unsafe for her mother and the large house is a financial drain on the mother and the daughters.

My neighbor is 78, her mother is 100, and her sisters are all in their mid-late 70’s. These disagreements among siblings are common and although these ages are certainly higher than the norm, those who are facing this situation at late stages in life are not as rare as one might think.

People are living longer and, frequently, widowed seniors are re- marrying at later ages, creating complicated situation for the aging blended family.

Many of us can remember our grandparents being cared for by nuclear and extended families.

Unfortunately circumstances have changed. Many adult children no longer live close to home and many are working outside the home, making it more difficult to care for parents at home. Regardless of the reasons and circumstances, siblings often do not agree on the choices for the care of their parents. Frequent issues are safety, including suitable living arrangements and the ability to drive, finances, kind of care needed, and who will assume responsibility for the care. One option for resolving these differences that is becoming more popular is mediation. When the siblings can no longer discuss the problems or reach decisions, the participation of a neutral, third party can get the conversation going. Mediation is a process that allows all the participants to arrive at their own solutions, resulting in a necessary plan of action.

Mediation is not therapy and does not attempt to get to the root history of family dynamics; rather, it is an issue-oriented process that helps to resolve problems through communica-

tion rather than confrontation and to restore and preserve family relationships.

Protect the Estate - Get Your Parents House in Order

By Andrew J. Cavaliere, CLTC Although it may sound like it, this is not an article about good housekeeping. This is a wake-up call to those of you who have not adequately assisted your aging parents with their financial and legal affairs. It continues to amaze me to see just how many people have taken absolutely no steps whatsoever to help plan for their families interests in case of a significant disability or even death.

What am I talking about you wonder?

A s k

Dozens of seniors sit down with me every year and the sad truth is that most of them have completely failed to plan for the following: 12345-

Life Insurance Review Will & Advanced Directives Medicaid Spend Down & Long-Term Care insurance Trusts for Special Needs Children & Grandchildren Inheritance

If you are like most of our clients, you are married with several children and your parents are getting on in years. They have spent the majority of their life working hard to provide for their family. Mom and dad have had some measure of success and are enjoying their golden years. And yet, after literally decades of caring, suddenly they become incredibly apathetic regarding their financial and legal affairs. We have all seen it time and time again. Unnecessary taxes being paid, hundreds of thousands of dollars for health care, homes being lost and even family squabbling over inheritance. So consider a few easy suggestions: 1-

2-

3-

4-

5-

Your aging parents may have not reviewed all of their life insurance and annuity policies to verify they are registered to the correct owners and that the beneficiaries are properly designated and still alive. Often, these policies are older and these documents go unchecked. In addition, an adequate and inexpensive plan can be put in place to make sure funeral arrangements are properly funded. In addition to life insurance, pre-paid funerals are very popular today, alleviating the stress and logistics for your family when the time comes.

Your aging parents may not have made any arrangements with you and your siblings regarding their advanced directives.

It is critical that these important documents can be easily located and still exist. Moreover, they may not have formally executed an (updated) Will, Living Will, Health Care Proxy or Power of Attorney. These documents are integral to every person’s estate plan. Not having them often makes end of life decisions and options extremely more difficult and costly.

Your aging parents may have not made legal arrangements to protect their assets and each other in case one or both get sick. Instead of doing some inexpensive and very simple estate planning, they choose to keep all of their assets in one person’s names waiting for the catastrophic event to occur. There is a (5) year look back period on all gifts and transfers in order to be eligible for Extended Medicaid. In addition, they probably do not own Long-Term Care insurance. This health insurance policy guarantees the vast majority of their money is protected and that they can remain in their own home for as long as possible if they need custodial care.

Your aging parents may have not made any arrangements to protect special needs children & grandchildren. It is essential that the trust is done prior to your parents passing way and the estate is probated. Clients need to select trustees now, whether trusted family members and/or corporate fiduciaries, as it is critical if the legacy of the directed funds is to last.

Further, Special Needs Trusts are required to be funded prior to the grantor’s death if the child is to continue to be eligible for Medicaid benefits.

Your aging parents may have not discussed what their plans are for their children’s’ inheritance. Sibling rivalries, in-law resentments, business complications and unchecked egos all can cause serious problems once mom and dad are gone.

It is important that these issues are cleared up well before the funeral. Your parents need to explain to everyone involved who gets what and why. It is not easy, but the alternative usually breaks up a family.

Remember, an estate plan can be amended to satisfy all family members involved, but once it is too late, it really is too late.

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.

Let me educate you on the benefits of selling your life insurance, taking an Advanced Loan or doing a 1035 Exchange

Seniors need to be informed:

1 3

There are millions of seniors who are in great need of financial resources during retirement, especially given the unknown high cost of long-term care.

According to the National Underwriter Company, a $1 million policy with only $103,000 surrender value Can be worth as much as $638,000.

2 4

We also know that more than 90% of seniors are unaware that their life insurance policy may have value beyond their cash surrender value.

Isn’t it time to explore another financial option?

You need to be informed:

85% of universal life policies and 90% of Term policies never pay out a death benefit.

It’s almost spring cleaning time: Here are some great tips!

Spring cleaning is a great way to start off the new season with enthusiasm, the activity carries extra benefits. Here are some tips for those who are planning on getting out the mop, dustpan and broom in the coming weeks. a family (and friends) affair The idea of cleaning your home from top to bottom on your own may seem intimidating.

But with the help of friends and family, you can turn this overwhelming task into a party.

Pay back your loved ones for their help by cooking them a meal on the day of the big cleanup, or you can offer to return the favor when they decide it's time to take on spring cleaning.

Clean to the beat Never pass up an opportunity to get fit, and spring cleaning can really get your blood pumping. One way to make this chore more fun and fitness-friendly is to groove to some of your favorite music while you clean.

Downsize and reorganize Spring cleaning isn't just about wiping down surfaces and mopping the floors - it's also a time to reorganize. Take this opportunity to get rid of some items that you no longer need. As you clean, separate out belongings that can be donated, given to family and friends or discarded.

Sweep for safety During your cleaning, you can improve your safety by reducing fall hazards. Clutter on the floor, especially in walkways, is dangerous, and any slippery surfaces should be cleaned thoroughly or covered with a rug to reduce the chance of falls. Look around for areas that may be improved by hand rails, such as in the bathroom.

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.
