Easy Identification of Stroke…….S.T.R.

A doctor friend of mine sent me this, Please read and remember. You could save a life.

---

 You could save a life.

STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters… S.T.R .
 

My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it

 and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a party , a friend stumbled and took a little fall – she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to call ambulance)

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food – while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid’s husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital – (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.)
She had suffered a stroke at the party . Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today.

Some don’t die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this…

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke…totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Remember the “3″ steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster.
The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions :

S * Ask the individual to SMILE .
 

T * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg ” It is sunny out today” ).
 

R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS ..

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call the ambulance and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

NOTE : Another ’sign’ of a stroke is
1. Ask the person to ’stick’ out their tongue.
2. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.

A prominent cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

….and it could be your own…..

There’s Got To Be Another Way: Article 1

By Dr. Geeta S. Vora

I have been greatly concerned about the direction that the world has been traveling since the 9/11 incidence and the turmoil and the violence that has followed. Then, this summer of 2007, I sensed the turmoil that my daughter was experiencing during our soul searching conversations while scaling the beauty of Alaska. Finally, an incidence occurred, three days after I landed in Mumbai, India. It was the straw that broke the camel’s back.  My sister and I were on our way to visit a relative at a hospital. We took a cab from the bus stop to the hospital. It was rush hour traffic. Hence, the bumper to bumper traffic had slowed down to a snail crawl. The normal fare of the ride went from 10 rupees to 30 rupees.  While we were sitting in the traffic jam, we discussed the effect of the traffic jam on the cabfare. When we arrived at our destination, the cab driver disregarded the fare on the meter and only charged us ten rupees. We did not accept the offer. However, his generosity in face of his low income, hit me in the solar plexus. Suddenly it hit home that the time had come for me to make a stand for these innocent, generous and compassionate people who add value to the world by their simple and small acts of love.  It broke the floodgates of the tidal wave that had been slowly simmering behind the closed doors of my subconscious.

 

The words of my mentor and hero Mahatma Gandhi flashed before my mind’s eye.  “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”   Mahatma Gandhi had used non-violence weapon of non-cooperation against the mighty Britain to achieve freedom for India. Violence only begets violence. In following the tradition of non-violence, I have decided to use the power of words and spirituality to see if I can help combat the violence, fear and turmoil that has shook the core of mankind. I plan to write a series of articles on “There’s Got To Be Another Way”.

 

I want to apologize in advance if I offend anyone’s beliefs. My perception of the cause of the turmoil in this world is due to the misconception of humanity’s understanding of The Will of God. Neal Donald Walsch has written several books on this subject. My intention is to get people to seek to produce a re-created humanity through a greater spiritual understanding. To understand that religious differences are the biggest hurdle to achieving global peace.  My aim is to challenge the clergy itself, the very people who are carrying the Word of God to the people the world over.  Dr. Bruce Chilton, an Episcopal priest, author, lecturer and professor of theology states my fears precisely: “As I have encountered the clergy and the scholars of religion, I have been increasingly troubled by how narrow their intellectual formation is. We must act decisively to change that opinion.”

In some of my contacts, I found that theology students don’t seem to be asking very many really probing, confrontational or deeply exploratory questions about the material they are studying.  It seems they are reluctant to challenge the   doctrine at any level. Hence, in order to influence the religious temperament of the world, it is important to broaden the theological horizons of our clergy, the God’s messengers. “Left Behind” best selling evangical thrillers series latest book “Glorious Appearing” writes that Jesus returns to Earth to wipe all non-Christians from the planet. The series are the best-selling novels for adults in the United States and have sold more than 60 million copies world wide. I don’t think that we should ban books that say that. But we should be embarrassed when our best selling books gleefully celebrate religious intolerance and violence against the infidels.

 

Should we really give intolerance a pass if it’s rooted in religious faith? I doubt that it’s what God stands for. I hope my series of articles will address the nature of our present dilemma. How we can become a solution instead of a problem, by becoming the change we wish to see.

 “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes existing model obsolete.”….R. Buckminster Fuller.

There’s Got To Be Another Way: Article 12

By Dr. Geeta S. Vora

I would like to end this series with some Thoughts to Ponder:

 

1.  People have a choice in the life they are creating and they have a choice in how they

      are experiencing the life they are living.

 

2.  People who make a different choice are the people who make a different world.

 

3.  Change is inevitable. If you don’t invite the change you want into your life, you’ll

      experience whatever change comes your way (sometimes created by people who are

       on their own mission).

 

4.  It seems that life is a “pay me now or pay me later” proposition. We can either go

      through the discomfort of change now or endure the pain of regret later.

 5. Spiritual teaching advises us: “pray as if everything depended on God and act as if     everything depended on us” 6. Thoughts on the World around us: i)  Change is possible, we know that,     and we can alter our relationship     with the world around us,      to create a sustainable future…..    The environment is much more than,    a policy position to me;    it is a profoundly moral obligation.   We only have One Earth.   And if we do not keep it healthy and safe,  Every other gift we leave our children,  will be meaningless.

           ……Al Gore

 

ii)  Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens can change the world.  Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has……..Margaret Mead

 

iii) The solution of present-day problems lies in the re-establishment of harmonious relationship between man and nature and between humanity. Development is synonymous with culture. When we sublimate nature in a way that we achieve peace, happiness, prosperity and, ultimately, fulfillment along with satisfying our basic needs, we march towards culture……Sunderlal Bahuguna, Chipko Movement.

 

7.  We have to strife for a multi-polar world. It is the only answer.

 8.  As per the title of Al Gore’s Oscar-Winning documentary film, we have to face “An      Inconvenient Truth”. 9.  Acronym for MISTAKES from John H. Maxwell’s Failing Forward     Messages that give us feedback about life.     Interruptions that should cause us to reflect and think.     Signposts that direct us to the right path.     Tests that push us toward greater maturity.     Awakenings that keep us in the game mentally.     Keys that we can use to unlock the next door of opportunity.     Explorations that let us journey where we’ve never been before.     Statements about our development and progress. 

10.  Our most precious natural resource is not our mineral deposits or our beautiful 

        forests, it is the mental attitude and the imagination of the people of every

        generation who have mixed experience with education to deliver goods and services

        that improves the lives of people around the world.  OUR REAL WEALTH IS         THE INTANGIBLE POWER OF THOUGHT WHICH LEADS TO

        DEFINITENESS OF PURPOSE.    

 

11. “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”…… Mahatma Gandhi

 12.  “Nine-tenths of wisdom is being wise in time.”……President Teddy Roosevelt. 13.  Remember:  Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve. 14.  “It is not our differences that matter. It is the meanness behind them that is       undoubtedly ugly.”  ……………….Mahatma Gandhi

There’s Got To Be Another Way: Article 11

By Dr. Geeta S. Vora

The wisest answers in my life have been borne from the combination of imagination, God’s direction, conscious and my willingness to act on what I determine.  So, here are some of my solutions. I have been accused by many as being the eternal optimist or seeing the world through “rose-tinted” glasses. I have hope and faith that mankind will emerge victorious. All we have to do:

1. The first step is to Adopt the Consciousness of Oneness.

Strive for inner peace. Just the very sound of it tells us where to go. You can’t find it outside yourself; you have to go inside. You have to go to your inner source, the source that gives us all unbelievable resources, strength, power and guidance to use in our life journey.  Jean Houston, social scientist and anthropologist says it best in her book, Jump Time: “People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine, but when darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within”

 

“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” This is the Golden Rule that we all know, but we do not always live by it. Wow! Can you imagine what the world would be if we actually lived by the Golden Rule? You can’t live by the Golden Rule if you think you are separate from everyone else. Only within the paradigm of Oneness can the concept be achieved. This is what nuts and bolts Spirituality is all about. When you change the way you live your life, you begin to influence others in the way they live their lives. It is in this conscious change that we collectively influence how the human race evolves.

 

I would like to talk about the” hundredth monkey” phenomenon. It is an apocryphal idea that attempts to explain what science cannot. The story goes that scientists observing monkeys on the Japanese island of Koshima in 1952 found something peculiar. They watched as one monkey learned to wash sand off its sweet potato before eating it. Over the next six years, one by one other monkeys picked up the same technique, until the fall of 1958, a good portion of the monkey population was washing its food. Over the course of a few more days, scientist witnessed what seemed like spontaneous learning combustion.  Overnight, practically every monkey on the island was washing his food. Inexplicably, monkeys on neighboring islands, monkeys who had no contact with the Koshima monkeys or who had never shown the ability, began washing their food.

 What happened? It has been postulated that when a critical mass of individuals learn the same behavior, they gain the power to spread that learning to others, even over great distances. The “hundredth monkey” refers to that one individual whose additional energy turns a loosely affiliated group of individuals into a cohesive unit with the power to effect quantum shifts in consciousness. You’re wondering, how is this possible? If we consider the ways we are connected to each other beyond the physical presence, it is not so hard to fathom. Emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, consciously and unconsciously…we are connected to each other in many ways that are beyond understanding. These bonds make us each a player in the universal orchestra. Its encouraging notion: the evolution of, someone, somewhere else in the world, can help me along my mission path, and I can do the same for someone else.”…Essence of Concept of Oneness.2.  The second step is to look at our social-economic structure. Social-economic backwardness makes mankind prey to poverty. It is the single biggest factor. To eradicate it is one of the United Nations millennium goals. You want to hear a scary statistics? The entire economics of the poorest 48 countries adds up to less money than you will find in the Swiss bank accounts of the 3 richest people in the world. The amount of giving by economically well-to-do countries is the first part. 

The old Chinese proverb: You give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, you teach him how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.  The second part is to teach self-sustainability. To make people self-sustaining is to bring hope into their lives. This is the goal of Kiva (micro-lending) and my group Lift Kids, to name a few. By making contributions and giving support to these types of non-profit organizations, you can make a difference right now.  NOW is the most important moment there is.  Self-sustainability will ignite the flame of the cannon whose explosion will signal the eradication commencement of the despair, failure, poverty, diseases and all other plagues that threaten to destroy mankind. 

 

We are at a crossroads on this planet. We have made this planet almost unlivable to the human life form. If we continue down the path that we are on now, we could see this happen in the not too distant future. Our present belief system has taken us to this point in our existence. Only a change in our belief system will determine whether we will continue on a path of destruction or allow us to follow another path toward a more enlightened existence.

 

You are totally at choice as to which belief system serves you best. You can believe that you are separate from all things or you can believe that you are one with all things. You always have choice in what you believe and how you create your life. NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

 

Odds are that sooner or later, most everyone reading these articles will get a wake-up call of varying volume. My hope for you is that in these moments of trauma, small or large,

you’ll snap out of your waking slumber with a splash of growth that moves you. But even if trauma isn’t at your doorstep, perhaps you feel that something is missing, that you haven’t realized the potential of who you are or who you are meant to be. Be proactive. Don’t wait. Look out to the horizon, consider what lies ahead, and get started, even if you begin with small steps. The old saying applies: inch by inch it’s a cinch; by the yard it’s hard. 

Wow! What a lot of work! But consider the alternative. Most of us need to bottom out in some major way, or suffer through some titanic personal implosion, before we are ready to take up meaningful self-coaching. That’s because many people live by the motto: If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. It’s often easier to settle for what’s only half working than to deal with the inevitable discomfort of changing our habits of thought and action. But what’s half working is also half not working. We wouldn’t settle for this kind of performance from office equipment, why should we settle for it in our lives?

 

The key is to be aware of and understand what serves you and what does not serve you. You will know that you are creating all the circumstances of your physical life and you have the power to change it when you desire. It is then up to you to create your life by making conscious choices as to what serves you best.

 THE CHOICE IS YOURS. IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE. 

There’s Got To Be Another Way: Article 10

By Dr. Geeta S. Vora

We have seen the sun set on the hopes of many.  Yet as Ernest Hemingway so eloquently said, the sun also rises. Let us not sleep through the dawn. This is the time of the awakening of humanity.

 

For ages, we have been seeking to create Peace on Earth, Goodwill to All. I believe that we can still make the Christmas card come true. Even though our environment may not hold out the way we are treating it, and our technology which is giving us the ability to produce weapons of mass destruction, is running ahead of our spiritual development, I remain optimistic.

 

Now, there are two ways we can go about trying to achieve it. One way is the way that organized religions have been trying for centuries: convert everyone to the One True Religion and get them to follow the rules.  This is Save the World by Spreading the Faith approach that has not only failed to save the world, but has moved us to destroying it.

 

The other way is to expand human consciousness to include the awareness that everything in life is part of a unified whole, and that our different religions are merely wonderful divergent paths to the same destination—a destination which is everlasting embrace and love of God.

 

The doctrine of Oneness used as a basis for all human political, economic, social, educational and religious decisions would alter life as it is lived on earth. It would enrich human race.  We would embrace a God that would cause people to live a new kind of life on an individual personal level as well as globally as part of the collective humanity.

 

Humans would understand that Allah, Brahman, Jehovah, Krishna, Yahweh are among the many names humans have given to the Supreme Being or the Creator. Human beings will understand that God’s words are found in all of the world’s Holy Scriptures and that no scripture is more authoritative than any other, but that each contains wisdom which leads to greater understanding. They will also realize that there are many messengers of God, that all people everywhere are messengers and that their life is their message.

 In summary, humans will stop trying to figure out which is the right text and who is the right messenger. They will simply look to see which text and which messenger speaks to them in a way that makes it possible for them to express and experience their connection to The Divine and to understand the great wonders of life. They will also stop trying to convenience others that the messenger and the texts that has touched their heart is the only one that people should turn to. Wars and killings in the name of a particular text or messenger will be impossible to justify and will all but disappear. Getting to Heaven will no longer be the ultimate purpose in life. Creating heaven wherever you are will be the main objective. To experience this, they would not have to follow any rites or rituals. However, they may choose to do any of the rituals or rites if it pleases them or helps them to stay connected.

There’s Got To Be Another Way: Article 9

By Dr. Geeta S. Vora

Now humanity is paying with life itself for its lack of progress in understanding life. It is life itself that is being threatened and in too many cases ended because of lack of understanding.

 

Humanity must come to a new understanding of life and of that which reflects life, which we call Allah, Brahma, Jehovah, Yahweh and many other names that we have given to the Supreme Being or the All and the Only. It’s no longer a question of convenience; it’s a question of survival. If we have been unable to keep up in our sociological development with the technological advancement, it’s because we are using the model of Power Over, rather than Power With, to build our societies.  We are still using ownership and control of our resources, materials, products and services over sharing and accessibility as our basic economic and social model.

 

It used to be that our violence could damage only a few. Then our technology advanced and we learned to damage a great many. Today, we can damage everyone. It used to be that violence was the last resort. Today, with a full moral justification, it is employed as the first resort.  Each one of you has a name for it, and for each one of us the name justifies our actions. This is where humanity is today.  After all these years, it still comes down to who can strike the most terror into the hearts of most people. Everyone considers that they are “right” in doing what they are doing.  They still see it is more important to be “right” than to be “happy”.

 

Today, we are lacking in peace not only among people in the world, but also within our heart.  It is in the heart that the peace must start. Behavior is based on beliefs and beliefs are closely held to the heart.  When we truly believe in our hearts that We Are All One, then everything will change. The people will act collectively as they almost do individually.  The United Nations has set the goals for the millennium. It is almost the end of 2007 and one of the goals, such as world hunger, is nowhere close to being met. We can’t even stop people from starving to death on our planet earth where there is more than enough food for everyone. You might ask the question, “Why?”  Answer is because we are trying to solve our problems at the same level that created them. We keep saying that eradicating poverty is a political problem or an economic problem or even a military problem in some countries.  Not just world hunger, but all the major problems that we have created by what we believe.  The simple fact is that we have not been taught that we are all members of a single group called Humanity. Or, we may have been taught that but we may not have been taught what that means as a practical matter; to take what it means and place it in our daily lives in a truly functional way.

 

When those people were massacred in Darfur, Sudan, we shook our heads and wondered what the world has come to?  Would we let one member of our own family die of starvation or genocide?  Of Course Not!  We would do anything to stop that.  So the problem is very clear.  We don’t see the people in Darfur as members of our own family.  We look at something as Darfur or the 2004 tsunami, and we don’t see at any level how we are causing it to happen?  Our Consciousness of Separation is what allows it to happen. In the case of tsunami, is it possible that all the years of underground testing of nuclear weapons that has ripped the earth’s interior apart, has added to the shifting of the tectonic plates, advancing by millennia the drifting and crashing of the plates into one another? Is it possible that the many other ways, in which we mistreat our planet, may have produced the additional environmental disasters, which we have been increasingly encountering?

 

Do humanity’s behaviors, decisions and choices—which arise out of our consciousness have any impact at all on the ongoing process of the planet’s evolution and of life itself?

 

If people used humanity’s interest rather than what they claim to be God’s interest to guide their actions, they might achieve different results.  Humanity’s interest cannot

be ill-defined.  They are self-apparent. It is life.  This is the greatest interest of God as well, but some people claim otherwise. They imagine that God has greater interest than human life. That is what allows them to waste it. That is what allows them to fly airplanes into buildings shouting “Allah is Great” or drop bombs on the heads of innocent civilians, paid with money on which is imprinted In God We Trust.
