We have been given chance to make Infertility treatment available at a national level.  All we need to do is send an email to The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) requesting they include the treatment of Infertility within their proposed Essential Health Benefits.  We are realistic, due to a lack of public knowledge; this is an “uphill battle”. This is why everyone needs to participate and fight for equality today.

It’s easy.  Prior to the January 31, 2012 deadline, the public is encouraged to email EssentialHealthBenefits@cms.hhs.gov with their input on proposed benefits.  Here is how….. 1.  State personal information such as who you are and where you are from 2.  Let them know what you want 3.  Tell them why this is important to you 4.  Educate how your request is a win-win for Infertility patients and can help lower insurance premiums by using supportive research/facts which can be found within our Resources. 5.  Remind them the Office of Population Affairs, a division of HHS, has a Title X Priority of increasing access to Family Planning including Infertility services. 6.  Restate what you want, give thanks and if comfortable, offer your information for future dialogue. 7.  Click here to see a sample letter

Please make the time to send your email today!  A blog on this topic can be found at http://www.fertilitywithinreach.org/blog/its-time-take-this-opportu...

Hi everybody! My name is Christina and I have been living with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) since the age of 3. A little over two years ago my husband and I started trying to get pregnant and eventually looked to a fertility specialist for help. We tried 4 IUI's and have just started our first round of IVF. In the past few months a started a site called Curly Bones where I talk about every day life and trying to get pregnant with JRA. I look forward to getting to know some of you and share stories and advice. Thanks for having me!

FOOD “RULES”!

Here is an important tip for a healthy, happy and long life. Seems to me that as long as we eat biologically correct foods, we could live for many years without getting sick or experiencing pain …and with greater happiness and well-being.

Possible? Deepak Chopka says we are biologically designed to live to age 150. Why stop there? Why not age 200, 250, or even 300? Can I do it…maybe yes…maybe no…but at least I’m thinking. I have learned since 1977 that eating biologically correct food for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks provides the ultimate path toward living a truly healthy, happy, and long life.

Michael Pollan’s book, FOOD RULES, presents some 64 rules, or personal policies, as he calls them, pertaining to his seven word answer to what foods we should eat: “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” “RULES” in FOOD RULES can also be used as a verb, as in controls or reigns!

Food CONTROLS our everyday lives. It rules our health…it rules our sickness. Food rules our blood pressure, high or low; our heart beat, slow or fast; our cancer cells, either accumulating or discharging; our weight, normal or abnormal; our temperature, running hot or cold; our energy, energized or sleepy; our feelings, loving or hateful; our experiences of pain or pleasure; our sex drive, strong or impotent; our thinking, clear or confused; our dreams, wild or peaceful; our conversations, hyper or relaxed; the quality of our breath, our teeth, our arteries (open or clogged), and the size and shape of our bodies, small, large, skinny or fat… EVERYTHING! And dare I say our inferttility and fertility

The condition of our bodies and minds and our spiritual awareness are all influenced by the food we eat. Everything we do, say or think is related or connected to the food we eat. Every cell, every stem cell, every gene, every DNA instruction, every beneficial or damaging microorganism, and every good or bad nutrient in our bodies are made from the food we ingest and assimilate. Even the choices we make about the food we eat today are largely determined by the food we ate yesterday.

All the food we eat, chew, swallow, and digest changes into our blood, stem cells, and bones via the stomach, intestines and other organs of our bodies. The food we eat becomes US. We are the “perfect” manifestation of ALL that we have eaten.

This understanding could help many individuals with their approach to sickness. Currently many individuals look at sickness as an enemy, an imperfection, something that must be concealed, covered-up, surgically removed, or chemically attacked. We need to look at our sickness as a phenomenon we have created and a messenger that is prompting us to address what is causing the problem, which likely includes a change in diet!

If we are eating biologically correct food, why or how could we become sick or be in pain? To me, we become sick or experience pain because we are NOT eating biologically correct foods! Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, would not only ask his clients what they ate, but also who cooked for them, based on his understanding “Let food be thy medicine and thy medicine be food”.

In summary, an important rule to remember for optimal health and well- being is to eat biologically correct food because food RULES! I believe this is the most critical rule any one of us can examine or study! After all, our lives depends on it!
