(Sorry only open to US families)

I was born with a right hemiplegia due to cerebral palsy. My right side was
mostly paralyzed And held in spastic contraction. When I was in my late twenties
I started healing myself using alternative healing methods. I worked myself out
of a leg brace that I wore for 30 years. In the process I havE become a healer
and  have now written a book called Living Hope: a story of wholeness and
healing. It is full of info of how to heal of any disease/disorder.

Yesterday, at my Mommy and Me class one of the moms shared a great tip and
find with the rest of us. She was telling us how she had joined the programs
at http://grocerypricefreeze.com after watching a half hour television show
for it. She had brought in a shoebox full of receipts showing us how much money
she was saving with this program. I have to say the savings were eye popping.
I looked at a least two dozen receipts and the smallest savings I saw was 69%
and this is off her entire bill. She told me she has friends and family all
over the United States and they have all joined too. The second I got home
I signed up as well. Thought I would share this with other moms as we all know
the need for savings!

We have just been informed that as part of their 33rd anniversary celebration,
World Products Inc. is offering their top selling grocery savings program at
a rollback price to what it cost in 1977. This is a great opportunity for anyone
who has not yet joined. This very program as I have mentioned in the past has
won numerous nationwide awards. I personally have been using this great program
since 1983.

Hello Everyone!

  I'm posting some information here about Euro-Peds National Center for Intensive
Pediatric PT. It's an amazing clinic in Michigan that works with children with
CP, TBI, and other non-progressive neuromuscular disorders. They've helped over
900 children in the past 11 years achieve amazing results. They are the only
hospital-based program for this type of therapy in North America.
Link: www.europeds.org
We have a yahoo group also if you would like to join and talk to other parents
about what their children have gotten out of the therapy
-->http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/europedsparents/
And of course, we are on Facebook and youtube - just search for Euro Peds!

Basically the philosophy is this:
Individualized treatment sessions are two, three or four-weeks in length for up
to four hours per day, five days per week. Research has shown that children are
more likely to learn new and lasting skills through individualized and intense
bouts of therapy focusing on alignment, strengthening, balance, and functional
activities
Some of the unique tools often used during the long treatment sessions are
European-inspired, such as Suit Therapy and the Universal Exercise Unit (UEU)

If after looking at the website you have any questions about the therapy, please
post on this thread.

Thanks!

i dont think the is list shoul  be used for solicitation  purposes.
I have to say that i have attended 12 session so the intensive therapy/suit
  therapy.  I also have checked this place out.  The therapists do not  know
what they are doing.  Also, they hardly use the suitI They charge a
fortune to d basic PT, claiming they use the suit, but rarely do.
I suggest you do more research before dumping money into this  program.
I only spend my money on the suit therpay that is done by the therapist
that have been trained to use the suit and will use it.

Cathy, mom to a child w/neuromuscular disabilities

Many of you have contacted me recently asking me whether I have tried the
program
I recently recommended at http://grocerypricefreeze.com The answer is of course
I have. As your moderator, I have an obligation to share with you only things
that I have tried and found successful. I was trained by one of the internet's
pioneers Jack Shwertz. He taught me that as a moderator I have an obligation
to my group's members to share with them any news whether on or off topic if
that news can benefit my members. That is what I have done here. Let me
reiterate
that I joined this company's sampler program and I have consistently saved
large sums of money over the past 16 months that I have been a member and that
is why I am sharing this news with you today.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for  
Brain Injury and Cerebral Palsy
 

 
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is fast becoming one of the most sought-after
therapies for children with cerebral palsy and brain injury. Quite simply,
hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a treatment in which the body is exposed to 100%
oxygen at greater than normal atmospheric pressure. Oxygen in the blood is then
increased and filtered throughout the body, where it reaches-and heals-damaged
areas. Medical professional that use HBOT advocate it as non-invasive, and
safe. 
 

Facilities that offer this treatment cite recent studies that show significant
improvements in kids with CP and brain injury, yet many kids who may benefit
from the treatment continue to go without it. Why? Most likely because the
therapy is very expensive, and many insurance companies initially refuse to pay
for it because it's considered an "alternative" treatment. Each session costs
between $100 and $200, and a typical treatment plan usually comprises 40-80
sessions. With the overall cost ringing in between $8,000 and $16,000, it's no
wonder that many parents don't consider HBOT an option.
 
Yet there are steps that every parent can take to increase the odds that HBOT
treatments are approved and paid for by insurance.
 
The first step is to gather information that shows the effectiveness of HBOT on
children with cerebral palsy and brain injury. Studies done at the Nova
Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; The University of Texas
Medical Center; and Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis are a good
place to start. 
 
Next, get your child's doctor on board by asking her to write a letter of
medical necessity to the insurance company, stating how HBOT can help your
child.
 
While your doctor is composing the letter, request and obtain your master
insurance policy from your insurance provider or from your employer. The master
policy is the in-depth policy that contains all of the fine print. Check this
policy for language pertaining to exclusions, limitations, and experimental
clauses. These are the areas in your policy that generally state experimental or
alternative treatments, such as HBOT, will be denied. While you are reviewing
the master policy, make a list of covered benefits that you don't think your
child will need. Add up how much these benefits cost.
 
Finally, contact your insurance company and ask for a "conversion." A conversion
is when a covered benefit is swapped for a benefit that isn't covered. For
example, let's say your child's policy allows a type of benefit that, in your
opinion, and in your child's doctor's opinion, isn't as beneficial as HBOT.You
would agree not to use this particular benefit, in exchange for the insurance
company paying for HBOT. 
 
Be convincing. A key part to a successful conversion is developing a convincing
argument that shows how swapping will be beneficial to your child and the
insurance company. Work with your doctor and medical team to highlight the
downside of the insurance company not covering HBOT, including increased health
complications that will be more costly to the insurance company in the future. 
 
Don't give up. Insurance companies are used to dealing with parents who aren't
aware of their rights, and most of them expect you not to challenge a denial of
benefits. Surprise them-and increase the odds of things going in your favor-by
fighting back and being assertive. If your request is denied, don't give up,
instead, get ready to appeal. Find out how long you have to appeal the decision,
then hire an insurance advocate or attorney to help you navigate the appeals
process. 
 
Supporters say that hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be one of the most helpful
treatments for children with brain injury and cerebral palsy. With the right
strategies, and with the right advocates behind you, you can increase the odds
that your child gets to try this potentially life-altering treatment.
 
All children with brain injury and cerebral palsy deserve the treatments that
can help them live the best life possible. HBOT is one such promising
treatment.

 Funding the Care of Your Child with Cerebral Palsy and Brain Injury
 

The costs associated with raising a child with cerebral palsy or brain injury
can be staggering. Most parents have a hard enough time coming up with money for
common expenses such as orthodontia or college tuition. Few expect costly
medical care, equipment, and services to be added to the list. Even those
families with good health insurance plans will find them running dry at some
point. For most families of special needs children, it's just a matter of time
before they are left scratching their heads and wondering how they are going to
fund their child's care.

 
· Private health insurance. Private health insurance, either funded
individually or through your employer, will pay for your child's covered
benefits up to the maximum. Be sure to read your master policy to determine
which benefits are covered and which are not, as well as premiums, deductibles,
co-pays, out-of-pocket maximums, coverage limits, and annual lifetime limits.
 
· Automobile insurance. Automobile accidents are one of the leading causes of
disability in children every year. If your child has become disabled as a result
of a car accident, some of his or her care can be funded through an auto
insurance policy. Check the policy for the amount of medical coverage, whether
or not there is a limited torte policy in place, whether the policy includes
Extraordinary Medical Benefits (EMB coverage). If you were injured by a person
who is underinsured or not insured at all, check your own auto policy to see if
it includes underinsured or uninsured motorist coverage. 
 
· Other insurance. Depending upon where your child's disability occurred,
school insurance, homeowner's insurance, or someone else's insurance may cover
your child's care.
 
· Government benefits. Government programs can become lifesavers when insurance
benefits run out. Programs geared toward special needs children include
Medicaid, Social Security, the Developmental State Disability Program, and the
Maternal and Child Health Program. To learn more about Medicaid and Social
Security, check out the U.S. Social Security Administration's website at
www.ssa.gov. To learn more about the Developmental State Disability Program,
check out the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities'
(NACDD) website at www.nacdd.org. Finally, to learn more about the Maternal and
Child Health Program in your state, contact your local Department of Health and
Human Services. 
 
· Churches and Charitable Organizations. In many situations, churches and other
organizations have funds set aside to help those in need. Many of these
organizations may also be willing to host fundraisers for your child. 
 
· Child Health Insurance Program. If your family has no health insurance, is
considered low or moderate income, is not eligible for Medicaid, and has high
medical bills, your child may be eligible for the Child Health Insurance Program
(CHIP). Eligibility requirements and benefits vary from state to state, so
contact yours for more information.
 
· National Transplant Assistance Fund and Catastrophic Injury Program
(NTAF). This organization helps families raise funds for their children's care,
and sets up an account that allows the family to draw upon the fund when needed.
This is a particularly helpful program for those seeking alternative treatments
not covered by traditional health plans. You can learn more about NTAF at
www.transplantfund.org.
 
· Catastrophic Illness in Children Relief Fund. Some states have these funds,
designed to help families with expenses associated with catastrophic illness and
injury that is not covered by any other financial source. Contact your state
government to find out if this is an option.
 
· Crime Victim Compensation Fund. Your child may be eligible for funds from
your state's Crime Victim Compensation Board, if he or she was injured as a
result of a crime. Eligibility and benefits vary from state to state. Log on
to www.nacvcb.org to find out what your particular state offers.
 
·Settlements. If your child's disability is the result of someone else's
negligence, a defective product, or misconduct or failure to act, a personal
injury claim that results in a settlement may be another way to fund your
child's care. 
 
The costs associated with raising a child with cerebral palsy or brain injury
can be overwhelming. Educating yourself on the many ways to fund care will
increase the odds that your child gets the therapies and treatments that he or
she needs.

Let me start by saying I am truly sorry. For the past 18 years I was employed
by Consumer Systems of North America. They arethe parent company to 26 consumer
savings related companies. I was employed along with 89 other full time
employees
and our sole mission was to search the internet for any postings about World
Products Inc. located at http://savingmorethanbefore.com and we were told to
create false names and make posts about how World Products is a fake company,
that all the people recommending that company were spammers and that their
products were no good and don't work.  This past Friday I was laid off because
Consumer Systems can longer make their Payroll. The fact is that World Products
devasted our company. They actually put 22 of our sister companies out of
business.
Even more ironic is that we had a small army of people working full time posting
about what a fraud World Products is and at the very same time we were all
members using their programs to save money. Even the President of Concumer
Systems was using their programs. Why am I confessing now - because I am very
angry that I was laid off. I spent 18 years of my life falsely telling people
not to join the programs at http://savingmorethanbefore.com I feel real guilty
now and don't even want to think about some of the people that were financially
ruined because of me. I am truly sorry.

I am a mechanical engineering student at New Mexico Tech. This year we are
preparing to do a design challenge with AbilityOne.  The challenge is to create
some sort of mechanical device that could help to further enable people with
disabilities. Some previous designs are things like a device that helped someone
to roll napkins faster because they only had one hand, or a stabilization joint
for the knee to improve gait. We are looking for inspiration to do a project of
our own, and were wondering if you had any thoughts or suggestions based on your
own experiences.
Thank you.
Rebecca

Just wanted to share this excellent tip that one of my patients told me about.
She was telling me about this program that she joined several years ago at
http://spend-no-more.com She was telling me how she was saving between 65%
- 80%
on most of her daily expenses. I began mentioning this program to other patients
and several others told me they were members also with very similar savings.
So
I signed up for their sampler program and received it last week. Low and behold
last night I went grocery shopping and had a full cart of groceries, toiletries,
over the counter meds and cleaning products. In all the bill rang up to $ 197.79
but thanks to this program I only had to pay
$ 26.63.

You?re invited?







You're Invited

   ...To a teleconference on treatment options for severe spasticity.

   You may have severe spasticity,  a condition that does not allow you to
voluntarily relax your muscles.  Spasticity makes movement, posture, and balance
difficult. It can affect your  ability to move one or more of your limbs, or to
move one side of your body. Spasticity  is often associated with multiple
sclerosis, cerebral palsy, stroke, spinal  cord injury, and brain injury.
   While there is no cure for spasticity, there are  treatments.
   Join us for a Release Your  Potential teleconference, a nationwide program
designed  to educate people about treatment options for severe spasticity.
During this 90-minute program you'll hear from  a physician who specializes in
spasticity management and an Ambassador (a  person living with severe
spasticity) who is receiving treatment to help manage  severe spasticity.

7:00pm Central Time

There is no charge to  attend this event.
This seminar is not meant  to replace conversations with your doctor. Only you
and your doctor can  diagnose and decide whether treatment is appropriate to

Release Your Potential<sup>SM</sup> Seminar






   Dear Debra:
   Thank you for registering  for the Release Your PotentialSM teleconference.

The teleconference is just a few days away. This is an exciting time as you
gather  more information about spasticity, treatment options, and what might be 
possible for you if your severe spasticity were better controlled.
   You know how challenging life can be with severe spasticity. Tight, stiff
muscles or spasms make movement, posture, and balance difficult. Even daily
tasks can be more difficult when your muscles are not loose.  If you are a 
caregiver to a loved one with severe spasticity, imagine how your role may be
made  easier when muscles are not so rigid.
   Following are the Release  Your Potential teleconference details.


Date: September 7, 2010

Time: 7:00pm Central Time

Phone Number:  ( 888 ) 835 – 6392

Please reference Release your Potential

   You will also need to download the presentation before the teleconference
.

Can you believe that my 'baby' is celebrating 34 - so many times we didn't think
we'd make it till the next milestone. As we have traveled this path he has
overcome so much and has made me a better person.  Tomorrow is a Root Beer float
party at his 'job' -  he loves going to 'work', - What is his job?  It is to
make others work and he is very good at it.
