Medical Miracles: Is this the Messianic Age?

I know, I know, because I am suffering, I am consumed with medical cures.  I promise I won't be overloading you with blogs on health.  But these are a few videos I have saved up and thought they were appropriate for me to show now.

When I see things that are astonishing, I think either the thing is bunk, a hoax, or that it really is something amazing and appears now in our time as we approach the days of Moshiach (the Messianic age).

You may agree or disagree with some of these medical clips below, but they are worth watching.  They deserve discussion and more research.  I hope this helps someone you know who may be suffering.

And by now, you may be saying, "C'mon, Tamar.  This is all bunk. You may be right.  But as they say,,, "Desperate people do desperate things!!"  (wink)  ...Excuse me, I have to go and bang my head and face now.

Getting BACK My Life

Many of you have been sending me emails and leaving me well wishes on my blog and I want to thank you all.  For those who don't know, I have been diagnosed and suffering from a herniated disc and sciatica which has been extremely painful and humbling.  I have been pretty much out of commission lying on the floor, resting my back, and trying to do some of exercises suggested by you.  I greatly appreciate your talk backs that you posted in order to help me.

I have written in previous notes to you that I don't care for doctors, tests, or medicines.  I preferred always to go the more natural way, even if that meant suffering.  You see, I am tough.  I went through 5 births without anything, scoffing at women who took pain medication, laughing gas or epidurals. I relied on my toughness.  Well, I hang my head down in shame.  -sigh-  I have been humbled. 

This pain I have suffered has been so excruciating, that I did the unthinkable…  I took pills. ARGH! –grin-   Anyone who knows me, knows that if Tamar takes an aspirin, she must be in incredible pain. But alas, I was beat. Perhaps it is my age, perhaps it was gaining weight since the Pesach Holiday, perhaps it was sitting at the computer for hours, or perhaps it was the stress of losing my dear mother-in-law, perhaps it was all of the above together which brought this on.

All I know is that I have succumbed to the pain and broke.  I am taking a prescription back medicine which really works!  I am also taking Advil gel pills which are great, AND have been sent for 8 weeks of physical therapy.  Since the start of physical therapy and lots of rest and less stress (among them writing blogs and preparing radio shows) I have seen a lot of improvement.  I am down to taking pain killers from 3 to 2 times a day, and am able to do work now.  I admit it. I am getting to be a fan of conventional medicine.

One of my readers sent me this video, and I thought I would share it with you all since many of you wrote me privately that you too suffered, or had a family member who suffered with their backs going out and/or sciatica.  After watching this clip, let me know if you think it is all in my head.  I am having my girlfriend pick me up the book who is going to the States.

Thanks for letting me kvetch.  It is one of my joys in life, to kvetch.  Nothing like kvetching when one is in pain.  –grin-

Hmmmm... I just want my life BACK.  Is this all in my head? 

The Left: Bad Predictors of the Future

The 'Right' has been right.  Everything they predicted that would happen after the Left pushed through their 'Peace' objectives has been a disaster.  Just view these two videos (ain't hindsight great?) and see how these appeaser's predictions have panned out.

Rabin says that there won't be katyusha rockets/missiles on Israel if we pull out of Gaza.  By the way, the song that is played in the video is called, "Hevainu Shalom Alechem" -"We Bring You Peace"

Ehud Olmert debates Rabbi Meir Kahane and tells him there is no worry about the growing Arab population in Israel.  Today, Olmert himself claims that Jerusalem must be divided because the Arab population is growing too large adn is a threat to Israel's identity. 

hmmmmm

Long Live the Stubborn Jew!

There is a 'matter of fact' attitude that has always been the way of Jews in Israel.  People here don't pussy-foot around.  A job has to be done, and they do it. 

We owe our lives to those who have fought to keep Jews safe here in the Land of Israel.  I served in the army and had friends who were killed. But we go on, because we have to.  Because we want our own homeland, and are willing to fight for it.

Below: My father (in his air force uniform) & mother not too long after the new Jewish State was born. 

I played an interview that I did with my father as he described his time as a young man, escaping the ashes of the Holocaust . The Nazis had murdered his father, put him and his mother and brother in a ghetto and made them slave laborers, and then shipped everyone else out to Auschwitz after they had outlived their use.  But he survived.  He was stubborn.  He wanted to outlive Hitler (yimach shemo - may his name be erased) and he did.  He is still alive today living in Jerusalem  -may he live a long and healthy life, until 120+.  He told me once, that in  Europe, they sprawled  graffiti on the walls: 'JEWS, GO BACK TO PALESTINE'.  Today, the world screams, 'JEWS, GET OUT OF PALESTINE'.  And so, without an education (which had been stolen from him during the years of the war), without a father, without any kindness or mercy from the world, he escaped the blood soaked land of Europe to board an illegal ship to Israel.  The British forces, still mandating the area, spotted the ship he was on which was carrying more than 500 passengers.  They shot warning shots into the air and then boarded the ship.  A fight broke out with the British beating the Jewish survivors.  There were screams and soon they were overpowered.  The boat was then forced to Cyprus.  It was there my father was put behind a fence in a DP camp.  Months later, because he was able to prove his family owned property in 'Palestine', he was allowed to enter Israel in a 'quota' that the British set, to limit Jewish immigration.  A distant cousin came to collect him at the port in Haifa.  The first question my father asked him as he got off the boat was.... "Are we going to be human beings again?"

It is over 60 years now since my father arrived to this good land after the Holocaust.  Jews who worked hard draining swamps, fighting off enemies, and living under the period of food rationing in Israel, all suffered, but they worked to build this country so that you and I and all future generations of Jews should have a home to come to, so we wouldn't have to ever rely on anyone/ any country to protect us again.  In spite of all the political deceit today, as well as the outside attempts of nations to destroy Israel, Jews have an army, and Jewish homes here all have guns, and our citizens know how to use them. 

Today, Jews can walk proud. Today, there is (in spite of everything) a strong Israel.  We have world reknowned universities and research labs, an overflowing of Torah study, employment, an abundance of food, new communities, and new families.  And I'll be damned if anyone tries to wrest our land from us.  I have been living in my home which is 'over the green line' for almost 15 years.  I have lived through at least 5 administrations telling me that I will have to leave my home.  It was Rabin, then Peres, then Netanyahu, then Barak, then Sharon, and now Olmert (soon to be out).  They are all gone, out of office, yet we Jews are still here. Man plans, and G-d laughs.  Man proposes, but G-d disposes. 

Like a horse with blinders, we don't let the 'noise' and 'distractions' stop us from our purpose.  We keep moving forward.  We ignore perceived limitations and forge new paths.  Let us thank those before us who were strong in their ideals and forged ahead. They didn't sit and whine.  They acted, and achieved in a  no-nonsense sort of way. When my father served in the Israeli air force, they had to get planes from the junk yard and piece them together. They could barely protect Tel Aviv.  When I served in the Israeli army/air force, one generation later, we were already flying jets over Iraq bombing its nuclear reactor.  Long live the stubborn Jew!
