Shiloh's Resident Chiropractor

Here in Shiloh we're pretty lucky to have a local chiropractor, Dr. Azriel Gordon, who has been working in the field for over thirty years. Many of my neighbors have been cared for by him. Dr. Gordon insists that he's not a medical doctor and calls what he does "tune ups." According to him, the body can heal itself, or function better, when properly cared for. He doesn't call the people he helps patients, either.

My brother-in-law, in New York, has been a chiropractor for about forty years, and from what I've seen, each chiropractor develops different methods. Dr. Gordon confirmed this.

Last night's gathering was to see the new clinic Dr. Gordon has opened, Optimal Wellness and Laws of Life Chiropractic Center of Shiloh. He explained his rationale of his practice and more. A few people told of how Dr. Gordon helped them. Click here and here for more information. Call 054-4849094 to make an appointment or ask more questions.

Simple TNT Cold Cures

I had one of those annoying season change colds this week. It started with a scratchy sore throat and escalated into a frightening cough. Thank Gd it didn't keep me in bed, but the cough did disturb my sleep and frighten my workmates and customers.

My favorite cure is drinking lots of water with freshly squeezed lemon juice. The water is simple tap water, not hot at all. Hot water kills the vitamin C in the leomon and makes it useless. That is easy when I'm home, but almost impossible at work. Luckily I only work part-time and managed to drink lots of my lemon juice water. And as you can see, I keep the lemon in the water to make it even more potent.

Yesterday, I was worried that the cold wouldn't go away in time for an important/significant family wedding tonight (no, not one of my kids, but almost) so I thought I'd get some Vitamin C in the nearby pharmacy. But when I saw the price (vitamins are expensive in Israel) I changed my mind and ran to the healthfood store at the other end of Sha'ar Binyamin.

There I bought myself some low sugar dried cranberries and flax seeds. The cranberries have a bit of Vitamin C plus antioxidants which is supposed to be good for our health and fight disease. I decided on the flax, because decades ago, it was considered a good food addition to clear the respiratory system of phlegm. Children with repeated/repeating bronchitis and ear infections despite taking conventional medicine were given ground flax seeds sprinkled over their foods with very good results. So I hope that the flax seeds will make my cough go away more quickly, Gd willing. I sprinkled some on the dinner I had brought from home. And then I had more with oatmeal after work. I make the oatmeal with water and cinamon only, no milk nor sugar added at all.

Last night I did sleep much better than the past few nights, thank Gd. And today I was up bright and early before my alarms went off.

Another Healthy Evening

It's healthy to have a good laugh, strengthens the immune system. Therefore I must say that last night when my Shiloh Movie Club watched The Russians are Coming! The Russians are Coming! we had some very good medicine together.

I have just one question:

Why did we women laugh more loudly and joyfully than the men?
