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

Men’s Health Week: How you can keep your favorite man healthy PAGE 4

June, 2015

Healthcare News - Westchester

Eat Healthy Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables every day. They are sources of many vitamins, minerals, and other natural substances that may help protect you from chronic diseases. Limit foods and drinks high in calories, sugar, salt, fat, and alcohol.

Choose healthy snacks.

Stop Stress Sometimes stress can be good. However, it can be harmful when it is severe enough to make you feel overwhelmed and out of control. Take care of yourself.

Avoid drugs and alcohol. Find support. Connect socially. Stay active.

He is your favorite guy. Maybe it’s your dad. Or he’s your loving brother. Perhaps, he’s your uncle or grandfather.

No matter who this special guy is, you want to keep him around and in good health for years to come. Enter Men’s Health Week – set for June 15-21 – which promotes a healthier lifestyle for men.

The purpose of Men’s Health Week is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men.

Men are less likely to lead a healthy lifestyle. They are more likely to smoke, drink alcohol to hazardous levels and be overweight or obese. These lifestyles can lead into serious diseases such as cancer, heart diseases and stokes, the risk of which can be reduced by leading a healthy lifestyle.

Here are some keys for all men to stay healthy:

Get Good Sleep Insufficient sleep is associated with a number of chronic diseases and conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and depression. Also, insufficient sleep is responsible for motor vehicle and machinery-related accidents, causing substantial injury and disability each year. Sleep guidelines from the National Sleep Foundation have noted that sleep needs change as we age.

In general, adults need between 7-9 hours of sleep.

Move More Adults need at least 2½ hours of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (such as brisk walking) every week, and muscle strengthening activities that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms) on two or more days a week.

You don’t have to do it all at once. Spread your activity out during the week, and break it into smaller chunks of time during the day.

Stay on Top of Your Game See your doctor or nurse for regular checkups. Certain diseases and conditions may not have symptoms, so checkups help diagnose issues early or before they can become a problem.

Pay attention to signs and symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, excessive thirst, and problems with urination. If you have these or symptoms of any kind, be sure to see your doctor right away. Don’t wait!

Keep track of your numbers for blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol, body mass index (BMI), or any others you may have. If your numbers are high or low, your doctor or nurse can explain what they mean and suggest how you can get them to a healthier range.

There’s No Need To Suffer From Leg Pain!

PAGE 9

LEG PAIN CAN BE A SYMPTOM OF A SERIOUS BUT TREATABLE MEDICAL CONDITION.

Varicose Veins

With Father’s Day approaching, here’s a little hint for you: Dad probably has more ties and coffee mugs than he knows what to do with.

So why not give him something unexpected that really shows how much you care this year? The Healthcare News gift guide can help you find the perfect present that not only keeps dad's interests in mind, but his overall health, too.

Health tracker Help Dad make healthier choices with a fitness tracker. Once he has a handle on his daily activities, he can spot unhealthy patterns, make smarter decisions, and achieve his health goals.

Personal training sessions Sometimes dad needs, how do we say, some motivation. Give dad a hand with some personal training sessions. The individualized attention will help him develop a plan that's right for him.

Digital barbecue thermometer Dad can rest easy knowing meat is cooked to the proper temperature, keeping himself and his guests safe from food poisoning.

Hydration belt Whether he's training for a marathon or jogs at the local park, drinking enough water is essential.

Ice Massager For Dad's achy muscles, a good massager can do the trick.

Pedometer A pedometer can help dad by recording the distance he walks or runs, calculating calories burned, and monitoring his heart rate.

Many can be synced with a computer so he can download and track his progress.

For his mind Recent studies show that adults with hobbies that regularly exercise their brains are 2.5 times less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease, so get Dad something to keep his mind in shape, like puzzles, models, or even certain video games.

Swollen Legs

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).

You must protect your assets, family and future now!

The Importance of Elder Law: 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.”

This April, White Plains’ 100year-old Burke Rehabilitation Center thanked its employees for their service to the hospital, which has treated more than half a million patients since it was founded on April 7, 1915. Employee-focused events this month included an intimate gathering on Burke’s Founder’s Day, which took place April 7, as well as an employee recognition dinner and reception on April 14.

More than half of Burke’s 700-plus employees attended the Founder’s Day event. It began with opening remarks from Mary Beth Walsh, M.D., C.E.O. and Executive Medical Director at Burke Rehabilitation Hospital, and John Ryan, Burke’s Executive Director of Administration.

Both hospital leaders have been with Burke for 35 years. Following the opening remarks, staff members presented a special birthday cake made in the likeness of the hospital and encouraged attending employees to enjoy dessert and refreshments.

The employee dinner and reception, which took place on the evening of April 14, honored dozens of Burke employees celebrating milestone anniversaries.

The event recognized hospital leaders, employees and Burke Medical Research Institute faculty members who are celebrating a milestone anniversary of 10 years, 15 years, 20 years and beyond.

Burke has a host of upcoming centennial-related events. Sam White, a published author and a leading architect at PBDW Architects, will share his expertise and personal background at June’s Legacy Lobby Lecture event at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 3, in Burke’s Wood Pavilion. White is the great-grandson of Sanford White, of McKim, Mead and White, the architecture

firm responsible for creating Burke’s original blueprint, as well as the creation of the original Penn Station and many other notable projects. RSVP to Julia Moran at JMoran@Burke.org to reserve your spot to attend any of the Lobby Lecture events.

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.

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

What does this offer include? Everything.

Take a look at what you will receive:

• 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 July 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 July 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.

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!

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

Removing Market Volatility with a Fixed Indexed Annuity

By Andrew J. Cavaliere, CLTC

People are always looking for the perfect investment. Clients want to earn the highest interest possible without putting any of their money at risk. These sorts of investments have never existed … until now. A Fixed Indexed Annuity (FIA) is a guaranteed insurance product that offers above average returns with no market risk to principal and no fees ever1.

In this historically low interest rate environment, many clients are reconsidering where to park their hard earned cash for the long haul. Certificates of deposit, savings accounts and money markets are literally paying next to nothing and the stock market is at the highest levels in recorded history.

So where can clients position their money and earn superior returns without worrying about losing a penny? FIAs offer real double digit returns in up markets without any risk to principal in down markets. Folks everywhere are not only taking notice, but investors are flocking to FIAs. In fact, the total 2014 fourth quarter sales for FIAs was up 4% when compared to the previous quarter. Forty-nine fixed indexed annuity carriers representing 99.8% of indexed annuity production participated in the 70th edition of Wink’s Sales & Market Report for total fourth quarter sales of $11.9 billion! FIA sales reached a sixth consecutive record-setting year in 2014 and that beat last year’s record by more than 21%!

So how does a FIA actually work? The annuitant buys a traditional fixed annuity that also allows him or her to participate in an external index via the carrier’s trading desk. The carrier purchases options against the index either monthly or annually. When the index is up, the options are exercised and both the carrier and the annuitant earn interest, usually subject to a cap. When the index is down during the same time period, the options are allowed to expire and the annuitant is credited the contract’s minimum guarantee of 1%. So let’s review, when the market goes up, the client earns superior interest and when the market goes down, the client earns 1% and there is never any risk of principal.

Fixed Indexed Annuities offer clients the following 12 guarantees: 123456789101112-

100% Principal Guarantee 100% Participation in S&P 500 Index 100% Guaranteed Fixed Interest Rate Option 2% premium bonus on first three (3) years of deposits 1% Minimum Annual Guarantee No Sales Charges or Asset Management Fees ever No Taxes are due until distributions are taken Annual Reset Feature credits all interest into principal annually Access to 10% of your principal annually Loans available up to $50,000 in non-qualified accounts Death Benefits bypass probate Income options you cannot outlive2

Over the last 15 years, we have seen scores of clients earn double digit returns in bull markets, while losing nothing during market downturns. Time and time again, clients are astounded by how they can earn so much interest with no market risk.

One of our 76 year old clients earned 11.47% from May 2013 through May 2014. Another 59 year old client earned 8.17% from September 2013 through September 2014. Finally, one of our clients actually earned 17.67% from March 2014 through March 2015 inside her inherited IRA and did not even know it.3 There are very few products that can offer returns like this with 100% security. Do you own a Fixed Indexed Annuity?

For more information about Fixed Indexed Annuities, please call Andrew J. Cavaliere, CLTC at 914-682-2190 or toll free at 877-676-9900. Andrew is certified in Long-Term Care (CLTC) from the Corporation for Long-Term Care Certification, Inc. Andrew is a member in good standing of the Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT), which is the premier Association of financial professionals nationally. Andrew’s offices are located at 50 Main Street, White Plains, NY 10606 and at 500 West Putnam Ave, Greenwich CT 06831.

Surrender charges may apply if withdrawals are taken in excess of the annual free withdrawal schedule.

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.

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.

Seniors need to be informed:

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.

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

You need to be informed:

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

Darling uses own experiences to help clients at Hungry Heart

Jodi Darling's stress could be triggered from final exams week at college or during a difficult life event.

But Darling always had a coping mechanism: Binge eating. Her organic diet would be hijacked by junk food.

“I can’t put a finger on why I did it,” said Darling a nutritionist and certified clinical hypnotherapist at The Hungry Heart. “Food controlled my life, but it didn’t make me feel any better. It made me feel worse. I had no will power.”

These days, Darling is the model of will power, an inspiration for her clients at The Hungry Heart. With locations in Mount Kisco and Wappingers Falls, The Hungry Heart offers a caring approach to out of control eating.

“For me, it’s amazing to work with clients and see them have that light bulb moment,” said Darling, who founded The Hungry Heart in 2008. “They realize that food doesn’t have to be a tool and they are like ‘Where have you been my entire life?’ It’s really rewarding for me.”

Through The Hungry Heart’s weight loss programs for men and women, clients will learn to feel better about themselves, lose the

insatiable appetite for food, and come to peace with their body. As former overeaters, the experienced and caring Hungry Heart team of Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and Nutritional Counselors would like to share with you a better way to overcome emotional eating and have a natural, healthy approach to weight loss.

Hungry Heart’s eight-session systematic program combines behavioral and nutritional counseling with hypnosis to reinforce new behaviors and thought patterns, so you can gain back the quality of your life. Weight loss is a natural by-product of changing our thinking patterns. The Hungry Heart team works together as a team to create changes in your eating habits in a guilt-free, safe and discreet environment.

Darling, who grew up in New Hamburg in Dutchess County, said she began binge eating as an athlete growing up. In part, her experiences inspired her to major in Dietetics at East Carolina University. These days, Darling enjoys exercising on a realistic schedule, while making healthy food choices every day.

She has helped herself and now Darling is dedicated to change the lives of her clients, too.

What do doctors do to treat their own pain?

PAGE 26

June, 2015

Healthcare News - Westchester

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.
